It's a good day! Sioux win 4-1. OD scores for good measure. My hotel window faces the Orr statue and we have the jerseys facing out for all to see as they arrive ?

haha - the auction is for a picture you can apply adhesive to and put on a puck, and you have to send an email stating you understand you bought a picture. That's just crazy!

I see it more as a leveling out, rather than tides turning. UND travels by plane several times every year and this team is road tested from last year's regional and FF. We're not going to let it be a 90% BU crowd, and we know these guys are used to a packed house

We did have a pretty perfect storm this year - 1) Hosting the regional. 2) being a 1 seed, so no worry about a higher ranking team coming in here. 3) getting an east coast team in the first round who isn't used to much travel or a full house of loud fans

Well, hell, if that's the only criteria to be met... Remember he also coached here in Fargo before UNO. He apparently has a lot of close friends - Even I've seen the rings!

I believe that's where the wife and I are, as well. Flying out waaaay too early on Wed morning.

It's not coming from the team, so I doubt it would matter.

Between 0 and 0.0?

This won't matter if we don't beat BU, and there's no guarantee UNO gets past Providence. If the matchup does materialize, I'm more concerned about playing another conference team that we've had mixed success against this season, than the fact that their coach coached at UND over a decade ago.

same here - made me laugh

I didn't think it was an intentional head-shot, but it definitely hit there. Worst thing is, he'd have been better off going for the puck instead of the hit - could've been a nice steal

OD!

More than a little I feel good about this one. Maybe it's just having our Force boys back in the arena. Maybe it's because I felt this team could be the one to hang #8, even before the season started. Maybe I'm delusional? Regardless, I think the boys take this one and move on to face Tech tomorrow.

LOL - that was the "smoker stamp" you got if you went out through the smokers' area. It was a short, albeit smelly, walk to get clear of them and get on with what you left to do. Coming back in, you just had to use the same door. They didn't officially have re-entry.

I'm betting the daily double! UND wins 3-1 and Murph gets off the snide in the same game. GO SIOUX!

LOL - this hits VERY close to home!

One more try. The home team (The Force) shoot at the SOUTH end twice. The Sioux are the #1 seed and using The Force's locker room, so they should be shooting at the SOUTH end twice.

x 2!

You're 4 rows behind that rail everyone is talking about, and at the end the Sioux will shoot at twice as the home team.

Interesting, but not shocking. We knew St. Clair would be back and Murphy worked hard on Saturday. I kind of thought Simo would hold his place, but I'm not too surprised.

It's horrendous during Force games, but maybe they're boosting it with all the media coming?

We bounced all over downtown and never had bad service :shrug: I wonder what this missing service from St. Paul was? I have always had good service there, too, but didn't feel like I was missing anything in Mpls. There are definitely more people in Mpls who aren't there for hockey, so maybe more crowded? Less comradery? If you want to say you couldn't eat at the Pourhouse, I'd certainly agree. We couldn't even find a seat there either day. Darn Sioux fans took all of them before the wife and I arrived!

South club is different than club seats on the rail. South Club is at the south end of the arena (home team shoots there twice) and has its own seats and rail. It's a purple section on the link you posted.

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking when I read that post!

Edit: sorry, my quote didn't work from my phone. I was replying to poster asking if Al really got kicked out. Just from that section. The picture I posted of him was from before the games started. He liked that pic and was trying to get it on the video board at the tourney. I have a Twitter account, so they sent it to me to tweet to the nchc accounts. Figuring he wanted the world to see it, and finding the topic on here that fit, I tried attaching it here.
