That was the thing probably! Game was still probably going on and I wanted to get my Molson and get back to my seat ASAP so I didn’t miss anything! 

I love a Molson or two during a good hockey game. You go overboard, though, and you'll hate your existence come morning.

A funny story I do remember was about 15 years ago. An ex- wanted to go to a CC/Bemidji game down at World Arena since she grew up there in Bemidji and was a fan of BSU. So, we go and I buy each of us a beer late in the first period of a scoreless and dreadfully boring game. 
 

Then, out of nowhere a CC player springs a teammate on a breakaway and they score with, like, 3 seconds left in the period! I literally jumped out of my seat, throwing my hands in the air and out flying was a tall draft beer. It was like the Matrix movies, it felt slow motion as I desperately tried catching the plastic cup of beer (full mind you). I failed and it splashed all over two Bemidji State fans sitting directly in front of us. 
 

To make matters worse, the gal I was with pointed at me and started laughing hysterically which pissed these two BSU dudes off even more.

After apologizing several times, as a token of goodwill, I ran down to the concourse, bought three beers and went back up and gave each of them one plus a replacement for myself. I figure that my 1 original beer cost me close to forty bucks by the time I even got a sip! 
 

Oh, and while stinking of draft beer and still salty, these two dudes were relatively cool about the whole situation as the game went along.

Caufield takes the Hobey. No shock there. 

[The Sicatoka]

I’d want Pinto on my team before Caufield.

I predict Pinto has the longer NHL career. 

[Wilbur]

So somebody get Sanderson's name in Buccigross' ear so he can say the name a thousand times and give him all the free publicity next season.  

 

[NoDak Fan]

Wonder just how effective Caufield would have been playing in a league where checking in the corners is encouraged. 

He's talented, no question, but aside from power plays, just how much time and space would he have gotten having to play

fast and talented teams that are hard on pucks week-in-and week-out in the NACHO?

We'll see how the next level goes for him.

A 23/24-year-old Canadian skating for the gophers next year.  Thought that was against their rules!

Send either of them to St Paul to replace Anthony LaPanta.

McKay was robbed.  Scheel has literally the same numbers as LaFontaine as well.  Didn't have the luxury of playing Arizona State four times at home either.

Fun fact.  Hockey East has 9 national championships as a league.  If SCSU wins tonight the NCHC will have 5.  Umass wins HE will have 10.

Hockey East:  Established 1984

NCHC:  Established 2013

If St. Cloud wins tonight, do they take down their participation banners?

Hahaha... no. 

They will be just exponentially arrogant about the one.

 

..... while still being 2 yr old on a sugar bender plastic drum set annoying about the participations.

Since Hockey East split off in 1984, the ECAC has 4 national championships as a league.

37.  North Dakota was an independent when they won in 1959.  

[SiouxFan100]

From this fan’s perspective, I would like a high scoring close game. Something like 7-6.

Correct. UND is the last independent to take the title. Also joined by Michigan, Michigan St., Denver, UMD, BU and RPI as only schools to win titles representing different leagues.

Hey @dustnyou after what I saw in the first period. The Clowns can probably keep those NCAA participation banners in their rafters. They’re toast.
