One factor among others for me was that I didn't have option to keep my tickets in the original 1000 allotment and rolled my investment into next year and wasn't interested in paying double for what my tickets would have cost. 

Same First reason for me

How bout we be armchair hockey experts rather than epidemiologists.  I'm liking Caulfield's step up and think it could go a long way to giving us the coveted two genuine scoring lines. 

If the seniors keep performing like seniors should, yes, having someone who can run with 17 and 22 makes life miserable for teams looking to match (neutralize) against a your top scoring line ... so which is it? 

What I like more is 10 and 19 have found a new friend. This 27 fellow is channeling his inner Cole Smith. Me likey!  :D 

And hidden in all that? 14 (a guy who'd center a top six line most places) is freed up to plug in as needed as situational specialist (faceoffs, PK) because of fourth line minutes. Need to shorten the bench late in a game? Move 14 up. 

 

Any word when we get 2 and 15 back?
4 and 20 are filling the roles versus CC, but I worry if they could handle top five teams.

14 has been surprisingly invisible to me this year, he is too big to disappear like he has.  If you could get 19's intensity inside his body you'd have... well you'd have Cole Smith

The only thing that I am qualified for is to be an armchair hockey expert. Good point. Anybody else out there? Maybe time to find some positives around me.
Love me some hockey!

Does UND even care?  Why do they have zero seating areas with 4 seat groupings?  Tons of families go in sets of 4 and total attendance could rise significantly while maintaining their social distancing guidelines.   https://www.ticketmaster.com/university-of-north-dakota-mens-hockey-grand-forks-north-dakota-02-12-2021/event/06005997F16014EA

Also, I'm pretty sure the Ralph didn't "give" UND the minimum profit distribution of 500k for the last fiscal year, so if they are that starved for cash, they can stop with 3k max attendance virtue signaling.
