    Re: 2018 Windjammer Classic - UMN, SLU, SU, UVM

    I discovered there are only two dispensaries in the state.

    Then I discovered something else… Déjà Vu!

    It was like my first trip to a bar when WI lowered the age to 18 decades ago.
    A friend called and asked me if I wanted to go to Prescott (no explanation was necessary, it is right across the border where the Mississippi and St. Croix meet, I knew why he was going) and as a bonus he said he had two girls with.
    So we get to Prescott and go in a bar and sit down, the waitress comes and asks us what we want.
    Never having bought a drink in a bar before, I had no idea what I wanted. So when my friend said “Tom Collins” I said I’d have one too. Apparently the girls didn’t know either and said they’d have one too. The waitress smirked and walked away.

    The dispensary is just like that, who would have guessed you can’t just say “gimme a bag of weed” they have many different types with strange names.

    Diesel #2, a classic strain (so says the sign). $50 for a 1/8 ounce. Seems like a good choice for my nephew. 16.9% THC and 5.9% CBD

    It rates 65 on Happiness (seems appropriate given his condition), 53 on uplifted, 52 on energetic, 49 on euphoric, and 36 on creative. Hopefully my nephew isn’t looking for something to inspire him to write a song (he’s a musician, when he isn’t slapping meat and veggies into a bun).

    Best used for stress, depression, nausea, pain and inflammation they claim. Yup, that’ll do my nephew fine.

      If SLU is #8 then I think SCSU has a good case to be tied with them for that ranking
      8-2 final
      UM scored a shorty 5 on 3 and another 5 on 4. They took 6 penalties including 2 5 on 3s and half of the third period off and won in a walk.

        I'm not sure how much of this was Gophers looking great and how much of this was SLU looking like they were skating in slush

          It was tough to tell on the video, though it looked like the Gophers showed a dedication to backchecking that I haven't seen in a few years.

            I'm at the game in the press box...SLU looked like they were skating in cement and once they gave up that 3 on 5 shorty it all just seemed to spiral.

              Pretty even game between UVM and Cuse, but UVM's capitalized on their chances and Cuse, well, hasn't

                I flipped back to this game when I got too frustrated with the Clarkson broadcast. Good production, but the announcer has apparently has just discovered superlatives, and he's deeply in love with them.

                  It looked, particularly on that 5-3 shorty, that SLU had not seen that sort of speed. A one up umbrella with the one up at the top of the circle is an invitation to disaster.

                    First period of SLU-Cuse was...not exactly entertaining

                      If you liked St Lawrence goals the second period was more entertaining...

                        A tournament isn't necessarily a "Classic" just because you put that word in the title of it.

                            2-1 after one. UVM got one through Shanahan (although there was a pretty bad missed call in the buildup), then Gophers went back ahead on a Heise goal.

                            UVM's been competitive and arguably the better team BUT I'm not sure we can maintain that level of compete for another 40 minutes

                              You can strike the "arguably" from that sentence, though they had a large gap to make up after the Gophers had seven shots and all of the possession in the first five minutes

                                Minnesota wins 6-2 but...Kinda ugly on their part. UVM has some skill but just not the depth of Minnesota.
