The thinking about it and doing it anyway is an argument to lose the C. Leaders on teams need to NOT make those kind of considered decisions.
Banning from the game is, of course, absurd.
IIRC, Ben Blood was stripped of his "A" for a period of time after the handshake incident. I agree, that maybe a temporary taking away of his letter is warranted. Adding a 2nd game to his suspension seems about right to me as well.

Since the coach has a cheezewhiz pedigree he will probably take his "captain" out for a beer or seven. 🤔 🤣

Here’s some photos from between the benches. Can’t give credit cause the social media group poster (take a wild guess) posted them w/o credit.
Angelina Katsanis from Star Tribune. I had to give her a little background to interpret what she captured, but she knew it was something good to get, great photos.
Okay, that makes a better picture. I’ve only been there twice, never for a concert, and we had decent seats sight wise. Mariucci sound sucks too, even after the last redo. They at least now CC their spots on the scoreboard, the player interviews or fun spoofs were a joke, we couldn’t hear a single word. The team with the best concessions is the Twins! Sorry, but again Mariucci has tanked in that area. They must be asking waaaaay to much in fees as several long standing places are gone. I want my gyros back!
It boggles my mind how bad the sound at Mariucci is...

The difference, of course, being that they don't try to hold concerts at Mariucci

I have an iPhone 13 mini and just recently (last couple days) my Gophers Hockey and even Football schedules have disappeared in calendars. Though they are still in subscribed calendars. I probably on my 3rd or 4th 'I device' since I installed them to my calendar. It's been awhile, but I'm pretty sure I downloaded from the "U" schedules.
Is this an iPhone issue or the provider for the calendars. I subscribed to the Twins, Vikings and Vikings and all three of the schedules work in my calendar. I've ran an update and rebooted my iPhone and nothing.

Figured it out. stanza.co no longer supports their calendars.

I wonder where you could subscribe to get the Gopher hockey schedule? Hmmmmm....

Who would want to sit behind this guy at a game… who doesn’t call hockey players “boys”… from youth to high school to college to NHL to rec. leagues… lol!!!
So I know Lake Placid and St. Cloud have renamed the ice arenas Herb Brooks arena, any way the U of M will name the ice Herb Brooks Ice at 3M arena at Mariucci
How can the Wild have 10 days off before the NHL Allstar game with other teams still playing?
The Wild and some other teams have their BYE week going into the all-star break while others have theirs coming out of the all-star break.
The NHL schedule will include “bye weeks” for each team for the second straight year and sixth time overall. For 2023-24, all “bye weeks” are scheduled between Jan. 27 – Feb. 13, which overlaps with a pause from Feb. 1-4 for NHL All-Star Weekend at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.

On my fb feed, I get post all the about Montana State being #1 in ACHA Division II West Division. I know nothing about ACHA Division II hockey. Just curious on talent and competitiveness. How would these college teams do vs. the top Minnesota high school teams both AA and A?
I didn't dig too deeply (their official website is terrible) but for instance they have a kid Vinnie Farina that played 20 games as a Sr. for Tonka in the covid shortened year 20-21 and had 8 points and 10 PIM in 20 games. According to elite prospects he didn't play anywhere for 21-22 and now the past two seasons at MSU.
This year as a So. at MSU he has 29 PTS and 39 PIM in 30 games so something tells me these kids know how to scrap.
If I had to bet MSU would take a series against even the top MN HS AA teams but that's a total guess.
The other day my wife and I were talking about being happy or liking your role and job.
For me, I'm not happy with my role or job, but I like my role and job. We've been having a lot of turnovers with my position at work/position and my supervisor asked if I had any plans on leaving. I told her no. Unless you fire me or another company comes in and offers me at least 20% more, same benefits and my same place in seniority. I've with this company way to long to up and leave. Been with them since '98 and I'm 4th in seniority. And by Fall 2025, I'll be #2.
I got my Minnesota Golfer magazine in the mail today. This issue has a table of the club champions for each club. I always look through all of the names to see if anyone I knew was listed. I’ve usually had a few, but there was only one familiar name. The Senior Men’s Champion at the Royal Golf Club was Marco Hunt. Would this be our good friend hockey referee?
Most likely yes. He’s always been a very good golfer.

For those of you with bug zappers are they something you run 24/7? Would it make more sense to run it at night only? Not worried so much about the electricity (its only 40W), but curious about effectiveness, as well as with how cheaply electronic products are made these days would I extend the life of it by not having it constantly running.
Even with the Mega Millions estimated over $600M on Friday. I tell my wife all the time. I’m not buying tickets to win the jackpot. I’m buying them to match the 5 balls and win $1M. I don’t want to win the jackpot and the headaches to come with it. I want $1M (less after taxes) to pay off the house and invest the rest for rainy day.
My first call after I start playing the lottery and then winning it... @skiumahlaw Just so you know if you get a random in person call at your office Mr. Brever, you will know why.

All kidding aside, wouldn't that be the prudent thing to do is get good representation to set up something to protect the winnings from being fleeced by outsiders and the winners themselves?

@jupiter, on the right hand side of the portal page it shows the next 2 games. In the past you also included tv and radio info but not this time. Is tv still not set?

Let me look in to that... I have made so many changes with that plugin lately, I must have clicked something. Let me inviestigate.

I get what Gator is saying. The list of complete abject failures by mega-mega winners is not short.
I get his point too, but that’s what trusted and legitimate financial advisors are for. Additionally the last thing I would ever do if I won is make it public. My guess is that leads to a lot of those issues. Good lord that’s the last thing I need is some random dude who knew me when I went to high school asking for a money.
That said it would be a lot of fun to see anonymous printed on donation walls at museums, conservatories, and other public spaces and know that was you.

I don't think Minnesota allows for anonymous awarding.
I think I'd rather win $50 million than $500 even knowing I have people I could trust to assist legally and financially.
