I agree with you on the media. Sherman just doesn't need to give them so much ammo. From his hand gestures about Revis to his screaming matches with the 49ers and the following press conferences... Guy just keeps doling out the ammo for people not to like him. Personally, I don't care much at all about him, and that lack of attention would probably bother him way more than if I hated him.

Both Cakebread and Yon playing. Oh, and it's "Frozen" night. Expect lots of young girls fawning over people dressed up as the characters from the movie. We are still deciding between the Force game and heading to GF for the women vs. goofs.

If you run your mouth like Sherman, it's going to take a lot to undo the damage. I can't tell you how many people I talked to who said they were "only cheering for the Pats because I don't want Richard Sherman and that 'I'm only here so I don't get fined' guy to win". He could give $1MM to charity right now, and we'd still see his disbelief face in the article.

^^ This was probably the worst part, but should be the easiest to fix for this year. I know I told the story on here last year, but when security sent a woman into the lady's rest room to clear it immediately after the game and my wife was still in there... Well, luckily she didn't hurt the security person, and we were allowed back for the second day of games...

Truth. I HATE to say it, but I really don't like that place.

I've know people to drive an extra 15-20 minutes each way, just to not pay the toll out of principle. Worked near I29 with a guy from Barnesville and a girl from N Moorhead, and they'd compete to see who got home first, since she would NOT take that bridge, LOL!

Staying at the Crowne. It's a few blocks to walk, but kind of a second home for us - plus, paying with points is tough to beat!

Sure - why not? I didn't want Calgary to make any of their chances

Very real possibility. Reading some of the stuff out of Boston, it sounded like they wanted him to come after last year, but "he had unfinished business". One writer was portraying it like he was a senior and guaranteed to be in the organization next year. I expect they're going to throw a big number at him, that he'd be a fool to leave on the table. I also expect that's why we have the goalie commit from Slovakia (I think that's the right country?) coming next year. Hopefully I'm wrong, but...

Definitely agree. That could easily have been a 4-0 win, instead of 1-0, if they hit the net. Hiller was good, but the Wild also missed some open looks.

wow - Hyman from Mich is ahead of Zane by about 9700 votes. Good thing this fan vote doesn't decide anything, LOL!

Big-game meltdown by their goalie. 6-1 Sioux.

I thought Friday was louder, at least early in the game, but it definitely isn't nearly as loud as even 4-5 years ago.

Drake Friday, Parks Saturday

Parking at our hotel was going to be something like $75 a night. Definitely NOT getting a rental car!

3-1 Sioux win. CC is playing a style that'll keep the score closer than the play would indicate it should be.

I'd agree that he was starting to play better. So much hope for the kid, so it's nice to see him pick it up.

Sent you a text for Saturday seats.

Those were too ugly to be Boston sweaters. Yep, that's what I'm going with.

Unless Olson has some real minor form of mono, I expect him to be in and out for a while. Those relapse-like sick/weak days can be hard on a kid. My stepdaughter had it as a HS senior, and it seemed to take forever before those days were completely over.

Agreed, those included a couple of greasy goals. He's also in somewhat unfamiliar territory - from backup to starting 4 games in a row, including back to back nights and 3 in 4 days. He's a pro and should be prepared, but it's quite the change in routine for him. Fortunately, Kuemper looked OK in relief, so maybe they can go back to rolling two goalies.

If I recall correctly (it's been over a year) Name, number, and letter (C or A) is about $90, but if you drop it off early in night, they'll deliver it to your seat before the end of the game. Good quality and will hold up to washing fine, although we mostly spot clean our jerseys.

Good night in the NHL last night http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=99398 You expect Parise and Zajac, and some of the others, but Greene?

Search is over.

Trying to decide which was the bigger idiot; the player who sold his stuff? Or the guy who tried to turn a quick buck on it before the kid was even out of school? Maybe it's a tie?
