MafiaMan Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Providence is going to surprise people this year. They were a win or two short of winning Hockey East last season...I agree wtih you that they are an up-and-coming team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their starting goalie is a monster... Jon Gilies is 6'5" and weighs 215 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrkac Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 So, are we adding this to our beer total? 8 pack of Budweiser bowties vs 6 pack of Bud Light Lime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 8 pack of Budweiser bowties vs 6 pack of Bud Light Lime. Nah, I was thinking Budweiser Black Crown instead, I am also a big fan of that beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Come on already with the Tampa crap, just ridiculous Also went to the Milwaukee f4 as well as many here I'm sure...the atmosphere around the city flat out sucked for the f4. Bottom of the barrel as well. Garbage spots for frozen 4's @AndyBaggotWSJ: Wisconsin could be host school for two men's NCAA Frozen Fours between 2015 and '18. Bidding with both Milwaukee and Tampa. Yes. Tampa. Jesus now KC! I'm all for spreading hockey as it is from the youth up in non traditional hockey markets but the frozen 4 sells out no matter what. the fans deserve to have them in cities that embrace college hockey or at least hockey cities with major NHL teams. @ChrisDilks: Kansas City(hosted by UNO) has also bid on Frozen Four. Nashville considered, but opted not to bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts I've heard, the Tampa Frozen Four was done well. ... and I want an excuse to go someplace warm if/when winters up here drag into May like last year.

AZSIOUX Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Oh I get the Florida angle. I lived in Arizona for 19 years! Love the sun!! I've just been to many frozen 4's and enjoy the traditional hockey cities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jodcon Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 That was one thing that I liked about the Final Five when it was at the Target Center. I really like the downtown area now, with my attraction to sports, food, and a few beers the only thing that would be better is if there would be any half decent teams besides the Lynx, the other 3 are currently pretty smelly.

Wilbur Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Their starting goalie is a monster... Jon Gilies is 6'5" and weighs 215 pounds. BU has the big goaltender back that played against UND last year when they beat UND in the third. I picked BU based on all the guys they have back. But never....ever....doubt a Catholic school.

Wilbur Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 So where do you have Sacred Heart ranked this season... Not well.....Some fun facts about their season last year: ~The Pioneers or pios as I like to call them won two hockey games. ~Didn't get their first win of the year until February. ~That win came against......wait for it.....Holy Cross! ~Actually had a three game unbeaten streak after that victory. So I'm guessing more of the same.....no love until some old Bjorkman hater mistakenly inserts them into the greatest upset in NCAA hockey history at a little eatery outside of St. Paul.

Always have been a head of the game. They need the upgrades along with many more that have upgraded recently around the nation.

MissSioux85 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I see gophers hockey program got 20 mill today..... going to renovate the ucci.... is the ralph getting out dated? IMO, no. Each summer REA tends to upgrade some portion of the arena. Some updates over the years: -New hot and cold tubs installed at ice level -New flat screen televisions throughout the building -Sioux Shop was remodeled a few years back and most recently a hat wall/display was added -'Authentics by Reebok' customization -New scoreboard and sound system installed after the fire -Weight/training facility has state-of-the-art equipment and things are added by request -NHL Wall at ice level -New TV in the players lounge -New projection screen in the lobby/main entrance -Photos and various displays are updated yearly (ie: All-Americans, new flags in the concourse honoring top 100 players in history) -New storage building Honestly, REA was ahead of the game in many areas. A lot of the new rinks (and those being renovated) are adding things REA has had since it opened. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
