If you can’t even say the word in question, it’s probably bad enough.
John Mulaney has a great bit about this. Basically if you're comparing one slur to the N word and the N word is the only one you won't say, it's the worst of the two.
Being the father of 3 mixed kids (black and white). I'm sure this day will come when one of my kids comes home asking about what someone called them. Fortunately, it hasn't happened and hopefully it won't. Though it does bring a joy to a parent's heart seeing your kids play with their friends and color of skin is not an issue. Even our oldest being nonverbal Down Syndrome is normal to our 2 younger children. Kids well ask our two younger kids what's wrong with their sister. And their reply is "nothing". Cause that's their sister being normal to them. And it's also important to teach our 3 kids not to indulge in ignorant talk and words, especially if they don't want it in return.

On the good news front, Steven Holtz is recovering well. He stopped off at the rink yesterday:
B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

Thanks for sharing, gator. The more we understand one another, the better.
As someone of Asian descent, I know I don't even begin to understand what our African-American friends and family go through despite how much reading and documentary watching I've done in the past few years. My parents, both Vietnam War refugees, do tell me about crap they had to deal with when they first came to this country and there's been a lot of anxiety about anti-Asian incidents that have increased during the pandemic. And though there's no reason to believe today's shooting at the Vietnamese restaurant by Bloomington Stadium near where I live was racially motivated, it's hard to not be spooked by it. But adding all of this and more up isn't even a drop in the bucket compared to the Black Experience, so it's been heartwarming to see so many people rushing to be at Jagger Joshua's side, literally or spiritually, over the last 48 hours.

Our old buddy Ben Brinkman scored a goal for ND, on the positive side
I did not expect ND to struggle as much as they have given the players they had returning & their portal additions.

Thank you for both of these posts, very enlightening. This is very simple for me: no one should ever be made to feel intimidated or unsafe in any situation. You may say that’s unrealistic but that should be the goal. No one is “less than” we’re all humans. Everyone has their weaknesses, most of the people I’ve met have strengths to even them out. The ones who don’t are usually the ones who think they’re better than everyone else.
Could you imagine if this happened last year when the Whioux played in Nashville?

Notre Dame beats BC 5-2 to split their BU/BC trip. Our buddy Brinkman scored the empty net goal for his 2nd goal in as many games, which equals the number of goals(2) he has in 4 years at the U.

Rohlik distances himself from the decision to suspend Sadlocha. In fact, this sure sounds like he's saying he would not have suspended him.

Bush league... Until coaches hold their own players to higher standards, this BS will keep happening.
Do not like how this board is run?
Get your own board!

What I got out of it is that Rohlik thinks shielding his players from real world consequences is still a higher priority as their coach, but something like this goes way beyond just saying "don't do dumb things" to your guys with the hope that Jagger Joshua forgets about the whole thing by the following Monday and going about it that way along with actions/inaction by others not only failed to shield Sadlocha, it's dragged the program, OSU, and the B1G down with him.

Agree… the investigation might have been above Rohlik, but suspending players isn’t.

Gophers #1 in pairwise ranking
Aloha!
After this last weekend we all got the wake up call that the Gophers will not win every game and will play poorly even with this loaded roster we have. @frozen4champs brought up this very question why some of us are under the delusion that we will finish the year 34-0
As poorly as we played we still came out of there with a split, which is pretty much the hope anytime you're on the road. Next weekend we should have the same expectation, especially against an seemingly improved Michigan State team.
Let's talk about where the Gophers were a year ago about this time. They finished 10-8 before the Christmas break. They swept only two series, one of them was Mercyhurst. They were swept once by the Bulldogs. Then they split six series, usually stinking it up on Friday and playing much better on Saturday.
Obviously none of us are throwing in the towel on this season yet. There are too many games left to go so we have plenty of time to improve before even the Pairwise means anything. Truthfully I'm glad that our issues were on the defensive side of the puck because that is where are best and most experienced players are at. It shouldn't take them long to watch the film and improve. That was one area that improved last year as the season went along was defense. Offense isn't the issue so far this year, the Gophers haven't been blanked yet this year. That's a good problem to have.
Would a sweep been nice in Arizona? Yup. Didn't happen and I'm not mad. We get another good series this weekend and then the weekend after that we get to slap Bucky around. That will be a great way to get us to the break.
I am the official Iowa Hawkeye football fan of GPL!
Probably the first series of the year where the d core has been the problem. We’re fine.
Actually took 1.33/2 pairwise points so the results aren’t as bad as people are making it sound.
So Denver goes Loss/Win to Omaha (ranked 30th in today’s poll) and holds onto 1st place. MN wins and OT loss to the team ranked 24th and drops 3 spots…

Yeah USCHO hates us for some reason. In other news the USA poll has us at #1
The poll is meaningless so whatever.
Yes, we all know it is meaningless wrt postseason. But I’m curious about how people made their decisions. I know that Ed Trefzger doubts the gophers (talks about it in the podcasts). Apparently he has convinced other voters as well…
Arm chair psychology isn't called for. Nobody needs a safe room, except maybe that dude who got himself thrown off the site last year. (I miss his doom-and-gloom musings after a road split against ranked teams.)
The gophers gave up 6 goals to a mediocre team who played like the game mattered. Our guys deserve the criticism they're getting, but the "season is over" hyperbole or the couch sessions are quite unnecessary.
No, nobody thought they would go undefeated. This is hockey. It's just that when they have a bad loss, we like to bitch. 
Just got to enjoy the regular season for what is, a strong schedule…and while it’s nice to win a regular season championship & (doing that is certainly difficult) at the end of the day, this Gopher team with seniors Lacombe & Johnson & junior Faber (all who will turn pro at seasons end) and young stars in Knies, Cooley & Snuggy…along with Pitlick, Huglen & older veterans like Brodz & Nevers & the farm kid…their ultimate success (or lack of success) will be determined by whether they WIN (they’re hoping) 4 consecutive postseason games to end the season & two decade drought ☝️Arm chair psychology isn't called for.

The Gophers definitely have what it takes to win it all this year. Enjoying the season will be the key. I am less worried about mental lapses like last weekend at this point in the season than I will be at the season end. Need to be sharp and disciplined then.
The other joy this season is seeing Wisconsin suck. Now if Michigan could just join them.

Michigan will always be dangerous. They're young but have a ton of skill. Gophers caught them at the right time when they were depleted and their goal tending was average.
I'll be interested to see the new State team this weekend. There are no weekends off when you're perched at the top like the gophers are. Everyone will be gunning for them, because there are valuable points to be gained with a win.
This is interesting...
A lot to unpack in that story. Seems to be a conflict of interest going on here. Plus, it appears Brianna Berry is involved in this with Danny Kristo. Which leads to the question, do they own the trademark for Frozen Toes as well? ?

For a quick second I thought Brianna Berry was my last real estate agent who played hockey at UMD, but alas she spells her name Breanna.

@frozen4champs on that other forum that shall not be named. Someone mention how they were "knocking boots" but was then corrected in his case it would just be "knocking boot."

It is also interesting that Schlossman has not weighed in on this yet. I consider him the most informed college hockey beat writer in the country, yet radio silence.

Interesting how someone has the trademark for "NoDak", though from what I read in another article there is several businesses in the Grand Forks area with the "NoDak" name.
I laughed when I saw Danny "Black Toes" Kristo's name.
Keep your stick on the ice...
So I'm not 100% sure but I believe it's more so the sale of writing with "Nodak" not "Nodak ...". If thats the name of your company and you put that as your logo on your shirt you'd be fine. We need our legal expert on this to clarify though...@gator The trademark for use on clothing and apparel.
Yes, but what about all those businesses that have clothing and apparel with the "NoDak" name.
Isn't it ironic a day after the story comes out, it's resolved?
