#Swedish word of the day: #Ljusglimt (silver lining) is something we tend to look for during this time of the year. En ljusglimt i tillvaron. Vilken är din ljusglimt just nu?

#Swedish happening of the day: #Våffeldagen (Waffle Day) Did you know that the name originally comes from Vårfrudagen ('Our Lady's Day') which sounds almost the same as Våffeldagen in Swedish. Any reason for waffles is good, right?

@DanMyers Absolutely there are challenges up at SCSU that is nothing new & maybe not enough people were aware of it. The sort of doomsdays scenario you described in your initial comment & others have are simply not accurate. Sorry….🤷🏻‍♂️

@mnjohan You think I’m pulling this stuff out of my ass? What I’ve said is based off what people in the business and people on the ground have old me. These are legit issues SCSU faces moving forward. You’re welcome to take whichever school you’d like. You don’t have the majority opinion.

So, who takes over in Cloud? People around college hockey will tell you … Cloud is a tough sell right now. Should be interesting.

@DanMyers Sure… 😂 Enrollment issues is not new & related to how campus is perceived. Facilities are getting a $12m refresh…. $ at schools is an issue every where. I’d still take Cloud over Kato 10 out of 10 times….

@mnjohan Shrinking enrollment. Dying campus. Meh facilities. Declining success. No money. City sucks. More to it than just the league. Ask around.

@CenterIceView Great perspective as always! Let’s find another gem. 👍🏻

@RussosFilter They do sound like the Bolts home crew this game…🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s been so awesome getting Kenny Albert and Brian Bouchard on so many Wild games lately.

@CreaseAndAssist I’m thinking it is because how the brackets were set up the 2 top seeds had a bye week. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I attended the Williams College -UWRF game as I had a niece of a good friend on the WC team.

Can anyone freakin' explain to me why #1 ranked UWRF women's hockey team has to play the #3 seed team (Amherst) in the Div III: Frozen Four while the #5 seed (Nazareth) plays the #2 seed (Norwich)? The Frozen Four is at UWRF, so don't tell me it is travel related. #lame

@WHENESOTA 😂 you are not wrong.

Has SCSU hired a new coach yet? Just wondering who the Gophers will hire after Larson.

@GramCD19 @emlovessleep 💯 agree with this sentiment. Can’t stand either of these players.

@emlovessleep I never root for someone to get injured, but if fate dictates that SOMEBODY doesn’t return, well…Perry’s as good a candidate as anyone not named Jamie Benn. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️.

Corey Perry is an idiot and started all of that. He deserved exactly what he got

@RussoHockey Who? 😂

Brett Larson is now official

@thoen88 @GopherHole @ClutterPuck 💯😂👍🏻

@GopherHole @ClutterPuck Yeah, but look at this way…..as soon as we find out who the next SCSU coach is, we’ll know who will be replacing Larson at the U.

Larson’s results as HC at SCSU: 2019 - 30 Wins, 1st round NCAA Loss 2021 - 20 Wins, NCAA Runner-Up 2022 - 18 Wins, 1st round NCAA Loss 2023 - 25 Wins, 2nd Round NCAA Loss 2024 - 17 Wins, Missed NCAA Tournament 2025 - 14 Wins, Missed NCAA Tournament 2026 - 16 Wins, Missed NCAA Tournament gopherhole.com/boards/threads…

Incredibly classy move by the @TBLightning tonight, saving a pressbox seat for a friend we all wish was covering this #mnwild game with us. 😥

#Swedish new word: #Mammakorv (lit. 'Mama Sausage') refers to a shapeless, knee-length down coat worn by "new middle-class mothers in the Western world born in the late 1980s or early 1990s", as SvD's fashion writer Alice Aveshagen coined it in 2025. #mamasausage

@donaldb2986 @BourbEnthusiasm Close to you, I imagine? But you got all three right?

Ok I don’t need the double double even at $150. This deal is INSANE #bourbon @BourbEnthusiasm

#Swedish expression of the day: "Styv i korken" (lit. "Stiff in the cork") is a expression meaning sturdy or cocky, often used when someone seems overly confident or defiant, as in the example: "Det var värst vad du var styv i korken!" #Styvikorken
