What's this about? I searched the Grand Forks Herald for stabbing stories and can only find two in 2017, and both suspects have been arrested. Have Gopher fans taken to stabbing people at away games?

In 1998 we pre-partied Gopher-Sioux from 8:30 am. My fraternity house was right across from the old Ralph, so we bolted a propane bbq to a toboggan and pulled it over there to make food and keep us warm while we waited the 10.5 hours for the doors to open. The thing is we weren't even close to the front of the line, the hard core had been there since like 5:30 in the morning.

We stood there all day drinking Busch Lite out of a cooler of warm water (to keep the beers from freezing in the snow). I have no idea who won that game, but I know we won the party.

I just tried to look up who won that game, and found out that I am a few months older than Mike Commodore. He was 17 years old (d.o.b 1979-11-07) when he started playing for the Sioux. He was such a force to be reckoned with that I always assumed he was like Jason Blake's age (23, d.o.b. 1973-09-02).

Holy poo poo the nostalgia looking at that roster. That was a really exciting team, and a hell of a post season run. A lot of those guys played in the NHL, even if it wasn't full time.

Holy poo poo, Lee Goren is now an Assistant Coach at St. Olaf edit: to Head Coach Mike "Trashbag" Eaves. They're now officially my second favorite MIAC team, go the Ole's! "Um Yah Yah!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjuqcuxBWaU

On March 10th 1993 Norm Green announced the NHL was allowing him to move the North Stars to Dallas. It's been 24 years, 6 months, and 17 days and he and the NHL can still go gently caress themselves. That said, some people do care about the NHL so I guess this is cool:

I'm so loving stoked for tonight's game. It seems everyone in Grand Forks is too, check out the articles in the Herald:

UND-Minnesota series flips allegiances
Yon, a former Gopher who lives in Roseau, Minn., will cheer on his son Zach, a sophomore forward at UND.

Frank Gersich, a former Minnesota player, will cheer on North Dakota, where his son, Shane, is a star forward.

And Todd Norman, a former UND player, will be cheering on Minnesota, where his son, Ryan, is a junior forward.

WATCH: Highlights, stunning moments of UND-Minnesota series

UND, Minnesota series has gone back and forth in The Ralph

UND vs. Minnesota by the numbers
  • 1—National title since their last meeting in GF (UND in 2016).

Why? I can't find video of the elbowing major, but I am guessing it was legit since Janatuinen was out the rest of the night.

Penalties were 6 per team, with neither team scoring on power plays. You guys got a penalty shot goal.

On paper it seems like the orange sleeves did less to ruin the game than usual.

It was since all the Badger goals were scored on that end. Also the student section is one section to our left.

They had a few choice words for NoDak's former mascot.

Yeah, that's what I have said during the whole process. Even if UND students were 100% respectful of the Lakota culture (they weren't), anywhere a team would travel you were guaranteed to see horribly racist posters and t-shirts. It's good that that era has passed. Minnesota and NDSU fans were (are?) the worst.

The other chant of the night was "boring helmet" because the UND goalie's mask was simply white.

(For full disclosure, the chant I referred to earlier was "racist mascot")

That's fantastic, I've talked to a few high level athletes and officials about getting heckled and those slow burn funny heckles get in their head way more than "You Suck!" since they've heard that 1,000 times per game since they were 14. His generic helmet got mentioned in a Herald story about Thome's first start.

In other UND goalie helmet related news the Herald published this story about Cam Johnson's new mask. Slow news day I guess.

I'm bummed I was at UND between two NCAA titles. Bums couldn't get it done until I left

I added you to my list of people who like the teams I hate on the first page, let me know if UND & Hamline isn't correct.

Women's hockey was still club when I was there, but some of their team used to come to our parties and were fun to have around.

I guess it is that time of year for teams that aren't in the bracket. Christian Wolanin signed with the Senators organization this morning. He was the first defenseman to lead the Sioux in scoring since James Patrick in '82-'83. Hopefully Wolanin can also go on to a 23 year NHL career.

Here's a link to the USCHO list of players who have signed. Notable Hamline Piper Russell Jordan signed with the Fort Wayne Komets and already has one goal in his four games. Gustavus Adolphus knocked the Tommies out of the playoffs a month ago, but it doesn't seem like anyone wants their trash players. Cuban Chowder Factory can you confirm?
