    Re: UND off season thread

    Last week, the WCHA Commish was floating the Super Tourney idea around again. I think the NCHC Should reject it. Thoughts?

      Honestly, if I was running the NCHC I think I might explore it.

      From a hockey fans perspective it could be spectacular. I love the orgy of hockey that is the four days of the Minnesota State High School tourney. College games would be even better. Semi's Thursday and Friday. Two championship games Saturday.

      The problem is twofold, in my opinion. First, consolation games would have to be eliminated, which may actually be a positive. Second, how to divide up any income produced.
      That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

        The ECAC and Hockey East did a "Hockey Fest" at the Boston Garden in the early 90s. I thought it was good, 1991 having 2 dynamite finals. But soon after the ECAC packed its bags for Lake Placid, Albany, Atlantic City, and Lake Placid again, while HEA has ruled the Garden since.

        It seems like a nice idea, but if the 5pm final is the marquee event, an empty X for the 8pm final may be bad optics. Plus who will televise? THE NCHC has CBS sports, while the WCHA are nomads.

        You could always move the 3rd place games to 3Mariucci.

          Matt Greene has retired and will be a scout for the Kings. Nice career (two Stanley Cups) and nice transition to a new career.

            One of my top 5 favorite Sioux players. My kids got to meet him after a game when he was a sophomore. Made my kids day as he was super nice to them. Hell made my day too.

              Despite the price of the UND/MN series it sold out in no time.

                        Puck drops in a week against the always hard working Manitoba Bison. Love seeing the freshman for the first time as they get plenty of ice time. Off subject what the hell is wrong with the football team? Blown out at home today by Montana St

                          I was in the Ralph a couple weeks ago - no logo on the ice. And I see Bast will start the year recovering from surgery. You have to wonder if he's injury prone or just bad luck. Football? I think maybe Mussman is masquerading as Bubba.

                            Kudos to the NCAA.

                            In a short but simple rules video the NCAA has managed to, a) acknowledge North Dakota fans were correct when they argued the overtime goal against BU in Fargo should not have been reviewable for offsides, and b) provide clear demonstrations of classic diving techniques by looking to our friends in maroon and gold to the immediate east, UMD and Minnesota.

                            Well done, NCAA. Well done.

                              Yep. That no goal still bugs me a bit especially after seeing it again. Got to love the 2 teams they showed for diving. 😁
