Pipes were the number 1 star tonight. There was a sequence of 3 pipes in less than a minute that saved the Wilds hide.
You got that right - that extra coat of paint on that end really made a difference!
LOL at the people hating on the Wild because of the broadcast team or former goofs on the roster
As someone who never watches a goofs game (that isn't against UND), I only know Lapanta as the Twins and Wild announcer, so that problem is solved. As for the goofs players, the Wild seem to be collecting them, but just like when I told that onetime Pio, Zucker, that I was glad to finally be able to cheer for him, I'm trying to look past the poor college choices made by some of Parise's teammates. -
Surgery could be a good thing? Look how quickly he came back after his wrist surgery earlier this season. At the very least, I hope there will be a treatment plan and timetable.

I think Illinois just removed all references to Indians and now use Illini as a reference to a resident of Illinois.
They dropped the word "Fighting" from the name. Also, I've heard that the tribe is extinct, or at least no longer an organized/recognized group, thus no one had to approve of the name, but that could be bad info flowing in...
-
Maybe after a new nickname is chosen they will come out with UND license plates. Of course a Fighting Sioux plate would've been great.
Just put the ND on them. The "new logo" plates won't be too popular, I'm afraid
-
I hope Miami makes it to the Target Center only for the fact that hopefully their band will come and they play the Game of Thrones intro.
Their band was fun - during the championship game, they were probably more interesting than the game itself.
-
Apparently Eastview came out for the 2nd period of their 2nd game of the day on Saturday, then promptly left the ice to "protest" the officiating.
Wow, that's bad!
I'm still not sure how I feel about that dance competition. According to some people who were there, the winning team basically admitted they stole big pieces of the routine, but I'm not sure I'm on board with the girls that didn't accept their medals. I get they felt they had to do something, but I'm not sure they did the right thing... Then again, I have no better suggestion for them beyond the formal protest that was turned down.

That GPA news is awesome!
I have no moral objections to getting money through gambling. I still want my UND license plate.
Yeah! For all the GD Bison plates I have to see, where are those UND plates?

When did the sign actually get displayes? I wasn't there, but I am hearing that is was very late in the third period. So it is a possiblilty that by the time that these kids were done meeting with REA officials, the game was already over.
It was in the third - we had a great view of all of it from across the rink. After the sign was rolled/crumbled up, several students exited with security staff. I called bullsh;t then, but did not notice if any returned. People on here saying only one student was thrown out makes me believe there was more to his particular story.
-
And Austin claims he was kicked out. Also I've also heard from a reliable source that one of the students was kicked out. Why the conflicting story?
This may have been a result of the "meeting in the office"? We saw multiple students leave, so if only one of them was actually kicked out, one could be led to believe that student did/said something to escalate his consequence. If it was just that he brought the banner, then that's not deserved. If he became belligerent, or threw a temper tantrum, that'd be a different story...

There's just short of 4 weeks until a game that could end a season. Hopefully Mac can heal by then.
-
I'm going to agree with the 4-2 win. I think the juniors come out with crazy levels of energy, and seniors finish off the scoring opportunities. Lock down Johnny B, and off we go!
-
Gotta get a win in Nashville! Calgary won last night and jumped ahead of MN in the wildcard. If you want to make the playoffs, you have to get some points on the road, even against good teams.

It was St Clair's last year there before joining the Sioux (so 4 years ago?). Was in a nearby pub watching the Sioux loss to Yale a couple years ago, but didn't drive over to the arena
At any rate, very little paved parking 4 years ago, so you were routed around to the west and north of the arena through mud and muck, then had to walk back through the mess to the arena. Would guess the parking has been expanded/improved since then
Actually still just paved on the south side. West is still gravel, which can be fine, or a mud hole depending on weather. West side was never paved due to the expansion sheets that were to be added. Now, finally, one sheet is going to be...
During the Force season Bulldog Tap runs a shuttle bus, but I expect a few more places to do it for the regional.

The thin mints are with the peanut butter ... on the top shelf. (I've heard him explain it once.)
Lol the old adage "up where grandma hides the cookie jar" aka... Going top shelf for a goal.
It's also mutated a bit over the last year or two to be "the best of the best" kind of a statement. Girl Scout cookies are the best, but Thin Mints are the best of the best -

I watched the 30 for 30 on Saturday morning. Very interesting stuff, as everyone has said.
Rumor is you can track down the Red Army on youtube if you dig deep enough, but I have not had the chance to confirm this. I suppose it could have been up, then taken down as pirated, as well.

Sioux finish the sweep 4-2, finally hitting that empty net to secure it!
-
4-1 Sioux win. Luke gets a goal and our D picks up 3 or 4 points tonight, at a minimum.

Math brain in overdrive this morning. Read at your own risk:
Reserve tickets for the schools had to be held at even numbers. Pre-season, we weren't guaranteed to make the tourney (see last year's final night drama), so, at 500 per school, 2,000 tickets still will be put up for sale. Since we now know our boys are getting in, that's 500 more Sioux fans. We're up to 3,500 out of 5,000 (est), or 70%, before the other teams' returns even start. Even if each other school uses 1/2, that's 750 more available. If all 750 go to Sioux fans, 4,250 out of 5,000, or 85% will be cheering for one team. Might be a small home ice advantage...

Pretty much guaranteedYes or no.......LJ gets another 2 minute minor tonight?
-
Finish this! 4-1 Sioux
-
Coach Montgomery's dad passed away this morning.
I feel for the coach and the entire family.
I hope our boys are ready tonight from the drop of the puck, as I would expect DU to play inspired for their coach.

I'm almost giddy at this get - with all the graduates this year, I love this reload

Listed of most hated UND opponents….imo :
- Gophers
- BC
- DU
- Michigan
BC and DU are very close in hated ....technically DU is a longer rival.... but BC losses are always season enders, apparently we have a distain for maroon/crimson and gold teams
I pretty much agree with this list, but I'm not sure Wisconsin doesn't take the 4th slot - I guess that depends on the season.

oooww, I like this! While I kinda see the point of the first round on campus, I've never been a big fan of it. I'm ready for the playoffs at that point, but first, here's another full weekend...If I had the ability to make one change, and one change alone to the NCHC, it would be to make the playoff format a "one and done" format at one location. All 8 teams make the Frozen Faceoff. Start Thursday at 11:00 a.m., 10 a.m. if necessary, and go until the 4 games are done that day. 45 minutes between games. The two semis on Friday with the final on Saturday. 3rd place game optional. Everyone would know that their team gets to go to Minneapolis each year. Book your tickets and rooms in advance. More fanbase to fill the arena. One big party.

Those faceoffs will be huge! Our PK will need to be in good form for this run.
