UND will make the three available to the public Sunday at a two-hour special photograph and autograph sessions involving Parise, Murray and Stafford at Engelstad Arena.

The event will run from 1 to 3 p.m. in the arena lobby. The three will wear their Team USA jerseys. The event is free and autograph cards will be provided.

I watched the last half of the 3rd period at Senser's last night and was VERY impressed with Parise/Murray/Stafford. Wow, they created a couple of awesome scoring opportunities. Hard to describe the plays but they were plays only the highly skilled and talented players could create. They will be special if left together I believe.

PCM, were you the one who arranged to have the Gold Medal game video tribute played at the Ralph before the game? That was great -- I wonder if the guys had seen it before. It was also nice to see the guys skate on the ice with their gold medals after the video was over. You couldn't tell on Dataflix how loud the applause was, but I'm sure the guys were touched.

I wish I could say yes, but I had nothing to do with it.

It was cool to see the guys out on the ice with their medals. Too bad there weren't more fans at the game to appreciate it.

Murray said after the game that the gold medal line ran out of gas in the third period, which isn't surprising. He said they'd be fresh tonight.

On paper, the Money Line is the first line and the Gold Medal Line is the second line. Darn the bad luck of having two lines that could be the first line on any team in the nation. :ohmy:

Honestly, Murray scored twice, true, but I thought Parise had a really good game. His stick handling and forecheck/backchecking skills are, to borrow a phrase, "Goose bumpy good."

He made some moves towards the end of the game that the people around us hyperventilating it would seem.

I went to the meet and greet with the Golden Boys yesterday. I got there right at 1 p.m. and the line to see the boys had already doubled back on itself. It took me about two hours to get to the table where they were sitting. I was amazed to find them still courteous, accommodating and in good humor after signing autographs and posing for pictures all that time. That's a testament to their parents, their coaches and themselves. When I left the arena, there was still a very long line of people waiting for their chance at them, even though the session was supposed to end then and there.

It was nice to see YaneA at the signing event.

The doors to Engelstad Arena were going to be locked at 3 p.m. when the event was scheduled to end, but Zach, Brady and Drew asked that they be left open so nobody was turned away. They signed autographs and posed for pictures until the very last person left, which was after 4 p.m. It was great to see so many people turn out for the event.

I should have bought stock in the company that makes Sharpie pens. :glare:

Nope. After skating in the Olympic rink I dropped by the main lobby to see how many people were there, and decided no way in hell am I waiting that long. :lol:

Then you can't answer jk's question because you weren't there until the bitter end. :glare:

Maybe this is out of line, but I think it would be really cool if they did some sort of pregame thing when we face UW. Having UW's WJC players and coach out on the ice with UND's 3. Very nice.

Probably won't happen, but it would have been cool.

I'll be at the game. I can yell my own pregame appreciation. :glare:
