The logs are full but recapping duties are still open. We'll probably stop wanting to recap games about a month into the season anyway, so it's not like it's a big job. Go here if you want one.

The Real March Madness: NCAA Hockey Brackef
The NCAA hockey tournament starts Friday afternoon, so hurry and download the NCAA hockey Frozen Four brackets (available here). Fill them out and confuse your friends when you complain about Quinnipiac busting your bracket.
I’ll take all comers in the fourth (semi)-annual Daneeka’s Ghost Hockey Madness Sweepstakes. Winner gets … I don’t know … my undying admiration.
Defending Champ: Rhubarb Runner (2011, the last time I ran this thing)
Three years of admiration is enough for Mr. Runner. Take your best shot!

WGOM Mini-Caucus (lunch) – DWNTWN MPLS
Just got off the phone interwebs with Pepper and realized something - Did we nail this thing down?
Seems the consensus last week was that a Thursday meeting at Be'Witched would be convenient for most involved. Washington isn't close to where I'm at, but seems close to where y'all are working so I'm happy to make a trip over - maybe swing by and pick up Dread Pirate enroute.
I can take lunch anytime. The questions are:
Does Thursday, April 3 work for you?
What time works best for you?

Does it seem like it snuck up on people more than usual? Maybe tempered expectations do that.
