Would you tell a boss you want time off to watch a game or request time off for an appointment? 

Great golf this time of year too. Forecast is only in the low 80s.

Who would have thought Merrimack was the second best team

Merrimack knocked off Quinnipiac 4-1 in their lone match earlier this year.

Our team gets to play in April!! What a long season on paper, but it’s gone by so fast

Gino provides great speed and energy, but I'm guessing Dane wanted a 4th line with more grit this regional.
And that 4th line was dominant both games.

Will be interesting to see if Jackson keeps this exact line-up for the semifinal or if he inserts Josephson. Suppose Klee would have to come out but he's been very solid.

Now that was more like it.

"I've never been on a team so tight, just hanging out away from the rink," James said. "We would always mention, 'oh, when we're in Vegas, we're going to do this and this and this.' It wasn't overconfidence. Everyone believed we'd get there and it showed tonight."

Quote

Špunar posted a 31-save shutout against Merrimack in the regional opener, then stopped all 22 Quinnipiac shots to go 53-for-53 in the regional.

Špunar is the first goaltender in UND history to post back-to-back shutouts in the NCAA tournament.

Yes for the most part they are year round. Here is my favorite public course. https://thelegacygc.com/book-a-tee-time/  Plus Boulder City municipal is a fun course too.

Rand drew up the penalty kill this way

[Godsmack]

So any lip readers here who can decipher what the Merrimack coach said to Dane Jackson when they were shaking hands?

Reschny was so bewildered, he didn’t know what to do with the puck. Haha.

Just so bizarre that this could even ever happen.
I've never seen anything like that before.

The most I’ve ever seen was a 3 on 0 against SCSU

[cberkas]

They could have done tic-tac-toe 2.0

Handful of things combined:  (1)  New teams joined which competed in our recruiting area (Wisconsin and UMD most notably), (2) Hard to break the cycle once it started (Michigan Tech just kept winning, and Minnesota hired Herb Brooks), (3) just not good coaching (Gino won with basically the same guys in his first year as Head Coach).

Then, once we started winning, it snowballed and we kept getting better and better ...
