Huh, how about that? Nearly a month has gone by since our lives were made complete.Let's wrap up a few things.First, College Hockey Armageddon appears to have passed us by. Scary Princeton Coach is going to go to Nouveau Riche University instead of our coach, who somehow still does not have a contract. Dear Bob, get it done or I am not sending you ANY MONIES. Michigan Tech has a new coach, too.

Well then.A week ago we were still floating on air. The weather was gorgeous and sunny and I zipped up to Duluth for the little celebration thingy they had at AMSoil Arena. (Every time I type AMSoil on this site I get a bunch of spammy emails asking about AMSoil as a product. Dude, it's got mad viscosity. Anyway, their $25 million was well spent on all the mentions they get on RWD.) Yes, I used a

So, we bid farewell to Justin Faulk and Mike Connolly. Here's Justin's press release and apparently the Sharks are too busy to have one for Mike's signing.Sure, we'd have love to have both of them for another year. But Justin is the most outstanding freshman defenceman I've ever seen (he blows EJ out of the water) and there's no way that he was staying. We were lucky to have a player of that

We heard that horrible song enough this weekend, but at the end of the night there was one song playing, and it was the UMD ROUSER!Let's talk about our victors.We fans are never going to know what it's like to be out there, playing in the game, being on the team, actually doing what was necessary to put the puck in the net or keep it out of our own net.But they got what we were feeling.

This was the greatest day of my life.I can't do it justice tonight. But please know that I am so happy that I did not bleach and subsequently ruin my hair for nothing. And I cried when we won. And I cried about 10 other times.Max Tardy, I am sorry I doubted you. I am so, so, so excited that you scored your first career goal in the biggest game in program history.This is unbelievable.

Dear Bulldogs, we have been waiting a long, long time for this. And by we, I mean all of the fans and Bulldog hockey alumni.Win it for us.Win it for your coach, Bill Watson. Give him the ring he should have had 27 years ago. And don't take 4 OTs to do it. And good lord, Kenny, stay in the net, because Bulldogs fans cannot handle another fluky DECC hop garbage BS goal and I want to PUKE when I see

Really? Are we back here again, in this day and age? tUMD has already defeated one racist (and sexist) mascotted team, and now we're facing another one, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Okay. So let's break this down. First of all, NOTRE DAME is in French. It means Our Lady. This is not a lady, this is a leprechaun. Which isn't even a real thing. And it's an ugly balding leprechaun with a pointy

All right then. I'm struggling a bit here.Last time tUMD made the playoffs, it was such an unexpected treat that I wasn't freaking out about it. We were just happy to have made it there and still jubilant from the Final Five dominance.The time before that, I wasn't writing RWD, but I also wasn't as worried because tUMD was a relatively complete team at that time, and I was confident in their

Well now, we're all still standing, aren't we? The sun came up, or at least I presume it's still there somewhere behind the clouds. It's even warm out. I wanted to wear my bikini, but it's not within the dress code at work. And I am tragically working today.I kind of figured this would happen. All this talk of an easy schedule and how St. Cloud is sucking and blah blah blah. I certainly didn't

from tUMD Statesman:Saturday night, Feb. 5,2011, will be remembered as Jack Connolly night. The junior from Calgary tied aUMD Bulldog men's hockey record by scoring five goals in one contest. That isnot a misprint. Jack Connolly scored five goals in a Division I hockey game onSaturday night.Indeed. (Thanks Mullet for the tip.)

An inevitability when playing a team with storied success such as the Gophers is their fans' inability to comprehend why one would bother to cheer for a team that isn't as successful. Gopher fans are certainly not alone in this; Wisconsin and North Dakota fans will act the same way. It's not even a phenomenon only for college hockey fans. My BFF MEg is a Lions fan and when we went to the

ZOMG, comrades.I am freaking shaking right now. Our Stalock, who art in goal, got his first NHL win tonight!!!!! He came in against the Coyotes when the Sharks were down 3-0. Former Badger Joe Pavelski scored toward the end of the 2nd, and then had another in the 3rd, Kyle Wellwood scored to tie it up, and then Patrick Marleau had a shorthanded goal to tie the game and the Joe Thornton sealed the

I don't plan on posting here every time there is a new Jacky Blog entry so you should be checking that out on your own.I think the team should just get an official blog that Christian or some intern could run/write, and then the player could have

It's like shooting fish in a barrel. It's almost too easy. Also they are like cannibals over there, eating their own.

Oh for crying out loud. I forgot something I was specifically going to mention!In the 3rd period of Saturday's game, tUMD held UW without a SOG. There's no way this is true. First of all, it seemed like the shot counter was about as stingy as possible. Second of all, with the net empty, some UW guy took a shot at the net that would have gone in, but Wade Bergman kept it out. Is it not a SOG

tUMD 4, Teenagers 1, RWD 2Yes! That's a correct score, folks!So I got my first live crack at Matt McNeely, future tUMD superstar. He was voted player of the game and he certainly deserved it. 42 saves on 46 shots. Yay!It was hard to really get into this game since it had no statistical value and our opponents were just widdle bitty boys. Biddco and I did make up some nice chants like "Obama

What an awful, awful way to end 2010.The opening game at AMSoil Arena had no redeeming qualities. There were no positives to the game. I do not have a single good thing to say about the game. It was an embarrassment to the program and an affront to the fans. The entire team is On Notice. Do NOT make me send you to the Humane Society of the WCHA. If you don't get adopted, you might get

Bulldogs fans, can you believe that in one week we'll have witnessed our final game at the DECC?I can't. I really can't. It's hard to believe the new arena was a dream just a few years ago, one we thought the taxpayers of Duluth would never support. And then it was just a drawing, an artist's rendering that made us start to salivate. We saw it grow over time from a pile of rubble to a skeleton to

I love Soundgarden. Grunge is one of the best genres of music ever.I've made no secret about how much I dislike tUMD being #1 in the polls. I know it doesn't matter, it doesn't mean anything, it's just, like, someone's opinion, man. But it's just a ginormous target and an extremely weighty expectation.Last time tUMD was ranked #1 in the polls was my first season writing RWD. The subsequent

I did want to post this weekend but the Interwebs at my hotel (The Suites at Waterfront Plaza) had the worst wireless internet connection ever.

tUMD 3, Ref Whiners 2Oh what a relief it is!Oh wow. I needed that.Very impressed with the adjustments tUMD made. Happy to have watched the games on television. Hope someone gives Pat Sweeney the number to a suicide prevention hotline. Laughing my badonkadonk off about the ref whining.Posting should be back to normal by Wisconsin week.

You (Geist, MNS, Brianvf, Dirty) wept and rent your garments over the horrible plight of your team. Guys? Save the sandbagging for the next flood, ok?Numbers tomorrow. Me tired.

This week, we've got another Gauntlet victim: Geist, from the stupidly titled Sioux Yeah Yeah! blog (which will have to be renamed soon!)RWD: Are there any particular UMD players that are targeted this weekend? Or should they just all be on alert for an airlift to Minneapolis?BG: 'Cause UND is a headhunting team now. Nice. No, since Malone will obviously be brought down by the WCHA Wheel of

In case you were unaware, this year is the final year for the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo. It will be retired once the athletic season is over.It might be a good time to get a new school song as well. Here is my suggestion, in honor of good ol' Ralph:*Please note, if you have not seen the movie Cabaret, you have to watch the whole thing in order to get the point.*

tUMD 1, Those Still Yet to Win in Their New Arena 1So, we made the drive up to Bemidji to see what we could see. And what do you think we saw? We saw the other side.No, not really, I was getting us confused with the bear that went over the mountain. We saw a tie. And even though UMD got that power play goal late in the game, I knew that lead wouldn't hold. Granted, it was hard to get things going

tUMD 3, Those Yet to Win in Their New Arena, 2 (OT)We won! Who cares if we sucked hardcore for long stretches at a time? First let me address something. My dear friend Eric Stromgren (newly promoted to beat writer for the Bemidji Pioneer!!!) quoted Frank Tom Serratore in his weekend preview:“We’ve been thrown to the wolves a little bit here and the thing is, it never gets any easier,” Bemidji

First, some facts.1. Today is my birthday. (Well, it's almost over.) I am 28. I have one foot in the grave already.2. Friday is my "birthday game." Saturday is my backup "birthday game." And Wade Bergman needs to get me a goal.3. Travis Oleksuk was named offensive player of the week. Last week, JT Brown was rookie of the week. This week, Aaron Crandall or Kenny Reiter will be defensive player of

Holy hell, I just got back from my seat selection, and before we get to that, we must discuss just how rotten the weather was. It rained the whole drive up (and morons were driving without their lights on! Huzzah!) and on the way back it snowed, then rained, all while gale force winds practically blew me off the road. This ranks up there with my Worst Hockey Drives Ever. Other worst drives

I think about $30.Junk food at the convenience store? $10 or so.Mini hockey road trip with my best friend? Priceless.What a glorious game.

tUMD 3, Werewolves 2 (OT)Hello. What a game that was. Definitely not your typical UAA/UMD game. You know, one of those games where whoever's failure is less epic wins. Instead it was, from what I am led to believe by Ciskie and Pates, a game with exciting saves and plays and blocked shots. The last 7 or 8 minutes were just INSANE. The last two minutes of regulation nearly killed me.And then

As previously posted, tUMD's equipment manager Chris Garner has been battling cancer and hasn't been with the team as he recovers from his treatments.The great news is Chris came up this weekend for the games! He was able to watch both games and spend some time with the team. Since his immune system has been low due to his bone marrow transplant (and since we all know hockey arenas are amusement

Hi folks, it's Mike Seidel here with your weekend weather report. This weekend, the Bulldogs are at home, so the team won't have to travel, but you might!It'll be quite a bit cooler than last weekend here in the Northland. Friday we're looking at a high of 56 and mostly sunny skies. If you're driving right back down again, like RWD & co, you should see an overnight low of 45 and a very slight

Dear Bulldogs,If you are going to suck, let me know right away please. Give me a sign. Say, getting swept by Providence this weekend. Don't be confused, I don't want that to happen, but I don't need any of the 2004-05 soul-sucking heart-breaking sucker-punching gut-wrenching undefeated through three weekends then completely throw it away with only 3 more wins in the first half and allow a 14-goal

I'd like to dedicate this post to the late Earl Root.So, the insiders voted in their respective polls recently (the 94X WCHA Media Poll, conducted by the man who will be hiring me to do colour commentary this fall, Bruce Ciskie; and the Grand Forks Herald Coaches’ Poll, conducted by the always delightful Brad Schlossman), and I have to say that these

Nice try, tUMD. Did you think I wouldn't find out?No one bothered to give me the memo that Justin May isn't the strength and conditioning coach for hockey anymore. I had to find out when I was messing around on the website and happened to see that there was a blank picture and this guy Blake Palmer's name underneath it.Let me copy word-for-word what tUMD's website says about Mr. Palmer:Making his

2004-2005 was the most depressing Bulldog season in this Modern Era. (Meaning since RWD was invented.) It is worse than the vast wasteland that was 2005-2008. We knew those would be dark times, but the 04-05 team had everything and gave us nothing.An esteemed reader of RWD (all readers of RWD are esteemed) fears that this season might turn out that way. Certainly the 03-04 season was filled with
