Everything has pretty well been said in this thread, so I won't rehash. On a side note; I never realized how much I'd miss the band. Not having the students there is always an energy let-down, but the band not playing between plays was really odd for some reason. Haven't we usually gotten a scaled down band, even during breaks? The fan energy was completely absent, and I'm sure the boys felt it. Union definitely did, as there was no awe factor we usually get when an east cost team comes in. It was so quiet in that arena that I think I overhead a Mary Kay sales presentation going on in the media deck...

That 3rd period was nuts! Once Nashville got that 4th goal, I was afraid the Wild were sunk... Nope.

Been one heckuva run! And someone beside Zucker finally scored again! Of course, Zucker still scored, but at least he wasn't the only one

Yeah, they didn't go too far out on a limb, but there's a fair variety and they'll sell plenty. I'll have to check it out before one of the Union games next weekend. I do like that Bent Paddle black ale...

Haven't had the GF location yet, but the Fargo one is delicious (I'd expect food to be the same). The carne asada tacos and crispy fish tacos are my two favorites. In Fargo, like JL Beers, no one under 21, even at lunch.

Must be because this week's win will be so impressive, that the committee will give a 4 win team a playoff bid.

This isn't Denver. IIRC, Miami usually has a fair sized contingent come to check out the Ralph each year. Probably as good a turnout as St Cloud, but a little short of Omaha.

After watching Senden play two this weekend, I've got to say his points don't fully represent his game - at least for the weekend. Had decent jump and was typically in the right spot. Always buzzing. His line didn't put up big numbers (Senden had an assist), but they owned the ice in the shutout Friday. Saturday was a tougher matchup, but he still managed a goal (against Tomek) in another win.

Had his green glove and boots. The sides of the pads were green, but fronts had red and black on them (looked odd?). I believe the mask from his world juniors team.

Welll... this is awkward....

Hoping he can get some mop-up duty before starting. It would be tough to just walk in and start a game after not playing for so long.

Fire at the Crooked Pint before it can even open? http://www.grandforksherald.com/business/4352971-fire-starts-future-crooked-pint-location-grand-forks Still opening in 2 weeks, you say?

While Vegas is almost assuredly going to come back to earth, it has been really interesting to see how quickly they've been able to build chemistry and a winning attitude. It's almost like the players embraced being the "leftovers" - the guys who were too expendable from their last teams. I think it gave them a shared mentality that is paying some great early season dividends.

Remember Mark was Cleveland's requested choice for a World Series game - if the LCS's had been over in 4 or 5, the World Series could have started this weekend, and a few weeks ago Cleveland was a favorite to get back there. I'm guessing Mark was blocked out from singing in case he had to be in Ohio. Turns out, he appears to have been in Philadelphia Sunday...

Friend can't make it from Bismarck. We have 1 ticket in section 301 for sale. $75. Text me at 701-361-twenty-two eighteen. Will be at football game, so can meet there or between football and hockey.

Order a burger a little too late on a slow night, and the tire comparison could be too close to call...

This could well be a problem - too many people caught up in Gophermania weekend, and the football game falls by the wayside for them. I've faced the fact that I won't get to the volleyball game Saturday morning, but the 4 of us will be at football and hockey. Since we drive back and forth from Fargo, that's just all that we're going to make it for.

FYP Seriously, I will never understand why people get so excited to have these chains show up in the area. It's fast food. It's likely unhealthy, almost guaranteed to be over salted, and probably won't taste much different than the place next door. [/cynicalrant]

Bolts beat Pitt MN beat Chicago Life is good today!

2 tickets in section 301, Row H, seats 3-4 for Saturday night. We bought extras for my daughter, but now she can't go. $25 each/$50 for the pair.
