Domestic vs. Import at Happy hour

One thing (of many I guess) that bothers me with beer pricing at bars is their distinction between domestic and import beers. Why is Sam Adam's not a domestic and Miller Lite is? It evidently isn't based on location of the brewery or the stock exchange it is traded on. With the sale of Bud to Inbev,...

If Wes is there, you know it's an important game. :mrgreen: Wes is on the edina band wagon!!! I haven't seen Wes in about 10 years (my fault for not attending many games, or at least the right ones) but I used to see him everywhere: White Bear, Hastings, Bloomington. For some reason, he also was at...

Im not trying to take anything away from the NP goalie. When you shoot a puck are you supposed to pick your corners, and Lourdes was shooting the bread basket for quite a bit in the 3rd. I thought the NP goalie did a great job of giving NP a chance to still win it after Lapic went out. I was very s...

This Fleet has a very relaxed chain of command. There are no orders, just helpful advice. Come Thursday, the advice is this, 1. avoid early head-on engagement with the #1's 2. hit and run 3. stick and move 4. slow the pace 5. ice the puck 6. tell the goalie to freeze everything 7. grease the Zambon...

Nice comments KatoDad

Granted West could be the team of the future in the section, but it wasn't even close last night. NP was faster, deeper, and knew how to finish.

Beating a questionable team (Willmar) 8-1 shouldn't draw criticism for average team performance.

NP?

Didn't NP beat 8-1 Willmar? I wasn't at the game, but I'm curious why you don't think they were impressive. To play strong D, don't they need to have more than 1 key player? How is West going to beat them?

My memorable achievement was on a cold Jan 1988 evening in a poorly played Missota battle between NP and Northfield. My garbage goal at least helped the Trojans win.

I watched the second half from a crowded Sally's as the crowd soaked up some alcohol before the gopher hockey game. I'm confused why some Badger fans ran around the place with Badger flag after the final. Were they happy with the Badgers' play? Were they looking to pick up women? They looked so happ...

Who's playing in the late game? The only negative of championship Saturday. The silver lining is that we get some sleep to make up for Spring Ahead. I love the highlights of past games they are showing this year. The GR goalie should have made that save vs. I Falls. FYI - St Cloud up 2-1 after 2 on...

From the photo archives: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8b/StatlerAndWaldorf.jpg Chico and Shanty look on during the 1990 Roseau/Rapids State Final. Yes, at the 3am Embassy Suites afterbar we did look like that. Of course Miss Piggy and friends were hounding us for drinks and good times.

Re: We don't need them

I just saw the graphic, why wasn't Minn-Duluth behind any of those names. Stejskal, Dartmouth? The Dogs took care of SC tonight. Let's hope we can cheer them on in St Paul next weekend. Looks like S7 vs. S8 tomorrow night Strawberry? Uh huh. I thought this was the year we'd see the return of S1 Bur...

Goal calls

Anyone hear the new Wild radio commerical? Sounds like the caller selected to hear the Moorhead Spuds goal celebration rather than the Wild's.

Irishman - how about coming to the WCHA final five?
