The Sicatoka

With the departure of 3 seniors, the probable departure of junior Matt Greene, the unknown status of Robbie Bina, and Scott Foyt and Lee Marvin having logged more time on the wing than the point this year, I'd guess Kyle Radke is going to get all the minutes he wants, and then some, next season.

It should be simple and clear: You board someone and they get hurt you are done for as long as they are. How far would I take it? If their NCAA career is over, so is yours. In this particular case, I'd add the official, who is now 2-for-2 because he had to be "corrected" for an undercalled penalty during UAA at UW the previous weekend, to that same penalty criteria.

Yeah, and they're faking major surgery too. Get well Robbie. Be well Robbie. All of North Dakota Hockey is pulling for you.

Is Fabian back out? I thought he went down the runway too.

Send 'em out with the big sticks. Tell 'em DU ankles are pucks.

No, your check went to NDSU. A UND student's check went to UND. And some retired, fixed-income widow's tax money to Bismarck went to both. It'd be refreshing if the State had the money to spend. It'd be refreshing if the NDUS members would come up with a proposal as a unified group and not have different factions working different agendas on different parts of the Legislature. (I blame Potts for not holding the group together there.) Personally, I could free up a lot of NDUS dollars, of course people in Bottineau, Williston, and Devils Lake wouldn't be happy. Nor would folks in Mayville and Valley City.

Being from North Dakota I have to work hard to get it in. It's awfully big.

But remember: Coors is off limits for all of us today. Puck drops at 2:37 pm in St. Paul.

I've been following this for a while. I'm surprised it hasn't come up here before now. http://www.in-forum.com/articles/index.cfm?id=85571 Unexpected NDUS costs sting: http://www.in-forum.com/articles/index.cfm?id=85558 How bad is it? An extra $6.5 million to spread around from the Legislature?

I thought it was my ol' friend "Jack" listening to that for me. Guess not.

According to the USCHO PWR Wisconsin is in a world of hurt after last night. T15 is not the place to be in the PWR when teams outside of the top 16 (like CHA champion Bemidji State, and the AHA champion) are going to get automatic births in the NCAA tournament field.

Clearly you missed the double entendre.

That's the only possible explanation of both Stuart and Jones. And for the record, the "Official SiouxSports.com Spokesman for Everyone (except CoteauRinkRat, resident insurgent)" just admitted he gets his "ever-wise" insights from me. However, I'll let him keep talking for the rest of you.

See above. I'm abstaining from Leinie's for the night.

SHHHHH! Don't give away my plan!

For 1 to 3 inches go to Minnesota. For 8 inches or more visit North Dakota. It figures. PCM raises a good point. Tonight no respect for Wisconsin: no Leinies. (Of course you realize that means no Coors for those of you that choose that if we play DU next.) Now, are we sure that there are no college hockey teams from Tennessee so I can catch up with my ol' friend "Jack" instead.

I guess I'm just not seeing that "major winter storm" formed up yet. http://weather.noaa.gov/radar/images/DS.74...onus/latest.gif

I've seen them only at the pro shop in The Ralph.

Light blue ice? The blue lines become orange, but the red line goes dark blue? With those colors shouldn't NYI be playing on it? So, should UND go to a soft tint of green ice? I'm sure Sioux fans would gladly help give a soft tint of yellow to the ice in The John. ;)

The "capital planning" portion of his Stanford bio is what catches my eye. Pop "Ray Purpur" into your favorite search engine and you'll find out what he's been working on.

Only 11 WCHA banners in the photo? Our photographer must be a slacker!

Maybe if the BTHC ran a pre-season tourney you could catch the Cubs winning Game 7 of a World Series over the White Sox during the same weekend.
