Even though half the NHL teams are expected to go under in the next three years, so you're welcome.

Hey, I come on here in the spirit of March Madness, but if you want to shovel shit I can play that game with the best of them too.

I didn't know that...Thanks. We're new to this DI basketball thing.

And there is nothing better than DI basketball and March Madness.......

Your spirit is noted and appreciated. Sorry about the unnecessary potshots from some of our brethren.

Sure do, with many multi-millionaire alumni that play the game, so thanks.

I respect what UND has done in hockey on a consistent basis and cheer for them whenever I get a chance. What most UND hockey fans fail to realize though is that most of the country could not care less about college hockey. It is very much a niche sport like lacrosse.

The difference they have is there is at least a professional league that pays their players a lot of money but the popularity of the NHL in most parts of the country is also waining. NDSU will get more pub out of making the tournament (if they make it) than UND will get out of winning the hockey tournament.

Not dogging UND for that...just a fact of life. Good luck to the Sioux in the upcoming hockey tournament!
