Did we just see the championship game? Have't seen hockey this good all weekend. Denver got a terrible draw. Thank you ESPN.

Nice win for UND. Should be a rockin' Xcel Energy center. Brooks, Shorelunch, Bryce and all the other Sioux guys, have your tix yet? Can't wait till Thursday.

Predictions on Notre Dame v UNH? I really have no idea and have seen them play only in their NCAA region games.

Yep. I think Denver ran out of gas. They will be the team to beat next year...if everybody stays. Heck, if they wouldn't have lost all the players over the post season they would have been the team. Good game.

Yah, Sioux fans are we going to this game or what?

Solbes you going both nights?

I am not sure yet. I think I will be going. Mixing in the muskie expo too.

Congrats UMD and Sioux fans, here's to an all WCHA final! Please don't let me down because I will puke if Michigan and Notre Dame are playing for the championship.

Awesome! I'm looking forward to having some barley pops and watching the SIOUX win the title first hand. Any other of you cats going to be there?

What are all the sioux fans that don't understand the game of hockey going to do when they get to the games and find out they don't serve alcohol. NCAA does not allow alcohol to be served at their events.

I guess they might visit the local establishments pre-game and be even more Rowdy then usual. Should be great crowds for all the games. Looking forward to watching them.

That is going to be terrible for everyone. All it does it get people tanked durring pregame.

I wonder if you can tailgate down there. Ive seen it once or twice, but it small.

That would be fun though.

I will will run accross the street between periods. HAha

It will be a shock I'm sure. It will also be a big difference between the Final 5 at the X and the Frozen Four. Oh well, should be fun anyway. If we get things taken care of properly, I will be there early and have a few outside the X before the games. We bought tix for the entire session. If Duluth loses the first game, I still want to see the title game. The only situation I wouldn't want to see is the Irish vs Wolverines, which I doubt will happen.

C'mon Scott we need you there loud and proud rooting for the Maroon and Gold. Any other Duluth fans going?

Not serving alcohol at the X might just force those UND fans to bring their own little bottles. Either way they will represent - at least the ones from ND.

I won't be able to be there - I will be with a group of college buddies on the Riany River - they do serve alcohol there.

We handled Michigan with ease this year, probably would have won a Big 10 conference title. WCHA has been too much for us lately so we are jumping ship to an easier conference.

The Michigan UND matchup is going to be a heck of a game, right now it's kind of hard not to imagine the winner of that game taking the whole thing but I am hoping the Dogs have a little magic up their sleeve.

Thats a good way to look at it Bear. It will be a three horse race in that conference.

Michigan never really went on a hot streak this year judging from there record. it sounds like they have a goaltender that gets hot every now and then. I get the feeling this isn't the best Michigan team in the last five years. I like UND chances against these guys over BC or even UNO IMO.

I hate Denver, but I hate the Sioux even more, they have the worst, and obnoxious fans that know nothing about hockey. But they do show up and cheer like crazy. obviously not talking about you guys on here.

Yah know how many Gopher fans I've sat by at the F5 and even Marriucci and had to explain to them how the F5 format worked, how their team needed to win to make the NCAA's, that the F5 wasn't the national championship, that checking is allowed in hockey, what place the Gophers were in the the WCHA, etc.

I'll agree that UND has some jerk fans, but so does every team out there. However, most fans are there for a good time and support their team. That being said, I think I've only met a few decent SCSU fans whistlewink

I think we should all agree that every team probably has an equal percentage of clowns in their fanbase. Some fanbases are larger or travel better than others so you can potentially run into more clowns in a given area or during a certain time of the year. It's really the luck of the draw who you run into.

brooks - fishing trips with college buddies and paid deposits on cabins take priority over hockey. I'm sure there will be a bar up there I could find a TV in. I'll be fishing walleyes only if the peak of the run is on - otherwise it's sturgeon for me. Been burned too many times trying to fish walleyes there when they aren't thick enough to make it worth it. I won't work hard all day for 15 walleyes.

Where's the dedication? If I recall there were some gopher fans paying well over a grand for tickets to the 2002 championship game in St.Paul, and those tickets didn't even get them into the game!!!! Now that is dedication!!

Just giving you a hard time brmuskie, I was just remembering a story from that game. I think a scalper had a field day selling some semi-final tickets as championship game tickets to some very trusting guys who took the bait.

Actually that's a good point bear.

If any of you are looking at tickets out front, you might want to make the guy walk up to the gate and scan the ticket. Ever since minnesota legalized scalping again there has been a less then apealing looking crew outside selling tickets that may or may not get you into the game. check the dates too. And if you are a sioux fan have someone that can read with you to make sure its the right event.

Scalping tickets at a sioux game....that there sounds offensive.

Ya those guys can be tricky, I scalped a couple of tickets to a Sioux/Gopher game several years back. The guy showed me a seat on the blue line about 10 rows up, we agreed on a price and I went for my $$$ and he pulled the old switcharoo on me. I ended up with top row tickets on one end of the rink. Lucky for me some corporate seats went unfilled so we slid in and took them over.

The other thing to watch out for are the ever so appealing "Friday" night tickets smile I'm sure some people will be duped into thinking they are buying game tickets only to realize they paid hundreds of dollars to go to the "Frozen Four Experience" night with the Hobey announcement, the autographs, and the fan skate.

I can't believe the shysters out there. Switching ticket seats on a person. I have no respect for people like that. If youfeel you have to do something like that something is wrong crazy. Sorry to hear that happen to you Bear. Can't trust anybody nowadays.

Hey it all worked out, I learned a lesson and we ended up with better seats. Oh and the Gophers beat the Sioux in OT!

Jogging my memory a bit that was the year we hosted the Sioux in the first round of the playoffs on our way to a title.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
