You can have an eye on it too if you live in the Northland. My9 Sports Network will be televising this game from GR.

What is My9 equal to in Bemidji?

My 9 broadcasts on digital channel 6-2 in the Duluth/Superior area and digital channel 11-9 on the Iron Range.

It's available on Dish Network too but not DirecTV, (or cable as far as I know.) I can pull it in over the air in the Duluth area with an antenna. I have an old TV in the basement with a built in HD tuner so can even get it in HD. I imagine you can do the same on the Iron Range but I don't know if Bemidji is in range or not.

There is also a rumor that if you put your ear up to the left nostril of the Babe the Blue Ox statue in Bemidji you can hear the broadcast. I can't confirm or deny that.

I'm not tall enough.
I have Direct TV so looks like I will be listening not watching.

When did ifan.tv stop streaming My9 games? They used to work hand-in-hand, and now there seems to be more games overall on ifan, but not always carrying the My9 boys hockey games.

Too bad, streaming this game wouldn't hurt attendance one bit.

Last I heard, MN Hockey Mag is making the trip and will do a live video stream.

Sorry to say I am seeing no endpoint to the erratic play of Rapids. Not sure I have ever seen a team look so completely different from one period to the next. That's not a good thing and speaks to the reliance on potential instead of work. My money right now would be a slow unraveling but I am hoping I am wrong.

Both teams owe fans refunds for their season so far.

Overrated and over hyped teams for sure. Go Elks!

6-1 Hounds

If the game is going to be streamed on MN Hockey Mag, we (YHH will be doing it for them). On my way to the range right now. Won't know how good the signal is until I arrive at IRA.

I will text Karl and he will post a link here...regardless, it should be a great game. My tweet, albeit "negative" was no more negative than their coaches, players, fans and critics have been the last couple weeks.

I love the talent on both sides and can't wait to see this game, no matter how they've performed so far.

Who cares who wins this game? Everyone except Randolph, I imagine, because it appears to me that he is trying to balance keeping his team focused on making progress, while finding the right combinations. Against Blaine, there were times that if the East players did not have numbers on their backs that one could not tell which line, 1-4, was on the ice because they were in the Bengals' end nearly the whole game.

His club dumped Rapids and Elk River last year in the sections, and no reason they can't go that route this year. I'm sure he'd prefer a top 3 seed to avoid a testy quarterfinal matchup. But when he's got nearly everyone back from a team that finished 2014-15 barely above .500 in the regular season and still advanced to the state title game, then his team likely understands fully that nothing matters but the playoffs. This being the case, they have a tremendous mental advantage over any other team in the section.

How did their mental advantage help them 2006-2008? They don't win it every year. Furthermore, seeds 2 and 3 will not have an easy quarterfinal. Likely opponents being Forest Lake who beat CEC 3-0, and Duluth Marshall who beat East 4-0. East loses tonight there is not much chance for them to be higher than 4.

Pretty certain he is referring to 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015. Been a long time since orange and black made trek down to St. Paul in March. I would say they have about a 15-20% chance of breaking that streak.

Feel bad for klatt.

Are you going soft with your "feel bad for klatt" statement?

Where is the old Sats81 and what have you done with him?

Yes there is if they beat Flake CEC and ER( who beat GR0 they can get higher than 4.

With the hockey games, the match-ups that go on My9, are generally not streamed.....I think. The crew at iFan are pretty awesome with how many games they get to each week. Pretty impressive and dedicated.

Streaming may be tough from this location. My9 will actually be sending the signal back to Duluth via a specialized remote equipment pack that uses cell signals. Their first time trying this. It has been tested. Keeping fingers crossed.


I agree that it will not hurt attendance. The stands are going to be packed.

Haha! No, never, I guess my point was I feel bad with all the BS he has to deal with up there! can only imagine. What a joke...only a few short years before he is driven out as well.

Quit whining DJ. Like I've said before many times Bantam success doesn't often translate to HS success.......good luck to you tonight.

As the great Tony Sarsland said many times, " the 3 most important games are the last three". Would have been interesting to see what SARS would have done with the run of talent that has run thru ER since he was let go.
