    Michigan Tech just knocked off CCHA regular-season champs Bemidji State to end an 11-game tear. I've seen Tech three times this season. The Huskies managed to slow down the Beavers, a team like Boston loaded with speed demons. 

    I give them 1% chance. Bemidji and BC aren’t close to being the same. With that said go Tech

    This isn’t directed at anyone, just my 2 cents…
     

    I know it’s human nature to be a misery ghoul and gloat over what befalls others, but I think it’s kind of sad that Dubay has fallen so far. 
     

    He is someone’s son or brother or relative, and I hope he can figure out his demons before it is too late. 

    Totally agree. I’ve met him and actually had a beer with him after a game in Grand Forks when he was with KFAN. Good guy who knew the game of hockey. Had a great gig with PA. He was sober for a couple years but the demons apparently reared its ugly head again

  3. I’m sure some of you remember Dubay and PA on KFAN when they had their morning show. Unfortunately Dubay can’t stay clean. He had life by the balls 

     

    PA's old sidekick is apparently back to his old ways. from the Strib:

    Jeff Dubay, a former longtime sports radio personality in the Twin Cities, is due in court next week stemming from the latest of his many drug-related run-ins with the law.

    Dubay left jail Wednesday after he was charged in Todd County District Court with felony third-degree possession of a narcotic and driving under the influence of drugs after a state trooper pulled him over in West Union earlier this month. Charges say he was wearing only a blanket while he was soaked in vegetable oil.

    Dubay, 56, living now in Grand Forks, N.D., posted bond and is due back in court Monday. Dubay told the Star Tribune in a brief phone call that "the police report is full of misinformation and horrible assumptions."

    On the evening of March 8, a state trooper saw an SUV traveling erratically before stopping in the West Union Catholic Church parking lot. The SUV then left the parking lot, prompting the trooper to pull the driver over.

    Dubay explained he was heading to Fargo and got off the freeway in order to get the Minnesota Gophers hockey game on his cellphone. Dubay, beneath a blanket and naked, said he had been sleeping at a rest stop near Avon earlier.

    The trooper saw that Dubay was restless, speaking rapidly and sweaty. He explained that he stopped taking his medication. He acknowledged using methamphetamine about a week earlier.

    As Dubay got out of his SUV to perform sobriety testing, he was covered in vegetable oil that came from a bottle he had with him. Drug smugglers have been known to use various cooking oils to conceal meth as it is shipped.

    Dubay failed numerous aspects of the sobriety testing. A law enforcement search of his vehicle turned up methamphetamine and two small bottles of adhesive remover. "It was supected that Dubay may have been huffing from those bottles," the charges read. While at the jail, Dubay acknowledged using meth that morning.

  4. Omaha was the better team today without a doubt. UND had no jump in their step to speak of. UND now 1-8 against CC and Omaha. Hopefully they get sent out east away from Sioux Falls where Omaha could end up now. My hat off to them. They are rolling

    I haven't been as active as I was on the old boards, but I'm getting older and slowing down. 

     

    I made it through COVID only getting it once. Not sure if many of you know, but I work for the State Health Department. While that was a very trying time for everyone, it was especially trying for Health Department staff. Everyone hated us. Either we were doing too much, or we weren't doing enough.  It was very difficult to converse with anybody (even family) without being yelled at for not doing enough to protect people or doing too much and interfering in personal rights. It was also difficult to be asked to do things and then having people who knew nothing of epidemiology tell you "You don't know what you're talking about." So I pretty much pulled back from social media. This is about the only place I'm moderately active. And my mental health has been better for it.

     

    My oldest graduated from UND during COVID with a business degree. Scored a job in sales at Ferguson and is doing well. My youngest is at the U of M studying Material Science and Engineering. So the Mrs and I are pretty much empty nesters and have started to visit as many National Parks as we can. Our ultimate goal is to visit all of them. So far we've hit Glacier Bay (AK), Acadia (ME), and Rocky Mountain (CO). We are looking at the Big Five (UT) this coming fall. So we have a way to go. 

     

    I lost my most goodest girl this summer. Bella was 16 years old, and her hips were going. So we ended up saying good bye in August. That was a tough one.

     

    As far as the Wild goes, I feel they are going no where fast. In my opinion they are stuck in a cycle of mediocrity due to their refusal to rebuild and always pushing for the Playoffs. They are in all likelihood going to miss the Playoffs this year, but they are just going to miss them and end up with a number 15-20 first round pick. Yes, they'll get a nice player, but nice players don't get you Stanley Cups. I'll still watch them, but I'm not holding my breath for them to even get past the first round. Even after the buy outs are over.

    My condolences on losing your familt member because they definitely are family. I’ve had our Izzy for 3 years now. Rescue dog who was found in a box in a ditch with her sister. Luckily somebody found them and took them to a shelter. She’s my best bud for sure

    Necro-bump....

     

    I didn't say this before, but I was LemaireisGOD but then at some point I think I may have gotten banned or I couldn't log back in so I became KillerCarlson with my picture of Gilmore Tuttle (of the Syracuse Bulldogs) from Slap Shot.  Unfortunately, after I got my post count back up to something like 1,700 the NHL took over all of the boards and there was a guy on the Chicago boards that had the same name earlier than I did and I lost the post count.  

     

    Meaningless yes...but it was annoying.  

     

    Things may not be as lively here as it used to be, but it's another place to discuss the team and the prospects.  The prescribed threads made by the powers at be is more than a bit heavy handed, but to quote Todd Bertuzzi (who was also known for being a bit heavy handed himself) "It is what it is."

     

    So to any of you old Wild.com message boarders out there @MNSOTA, @IllaZilla, @Gnarkill, @Lonkkis, @rottenrefs, @bbgarnett, @Alexandron, @Fargocase, @Rickyd what have you all been up to?  Will this Minnesota Wild team actually become a Stanley Cup contender in this decade?     

    I guess I’m just chopped liver 😎

  8. SAINT PAUL, Minn. – Sophomore forward Jackson Blake added another accolade to his running list, earning a spot on the 2024 Hobey Baker Award Top-10 Finalist list as announced by the award committee on Wednesday afternoon.
