The Sicatoka

Watch from 1:02 to 1:04 of the video here (https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/capitals-ovechkin-calls-wilsons-seven-game-suspension-kind-joke/) from NHL DPS. Wilson's primary impact is into the armpit of the Bruin. Now watch the video from the start, including all the messing with Wilson that had been going on before that. The Bruins suckered and baited Wilson and he foolishly bit at the first opportunity.

But the NHL DPS video specifically says Wilson is not a "repeat offender" because he's had no incidents for 18 months. Either he's a repeat, or he's not. Seven games makes sense for a repeater, but they say he's not. < confused >

Isn't that a tactic to get the defense to defend the whole width and open up the running game between the tackles?

You can hear the chip where they ... ... "placed" it?

As sports talk radio guy Tony Bruno (6-9 pm Eastern show) used to say when giving baseball updates, "If you're scoring at home ... congratulations ... it's early."

All NCHC Teams are out:

I believe Mister Gaber (8 goals) is yet to score in Ralph Engelstad Arena (and just once outside the Oma-pod, at CC). Don't tell him where, but somebody tell Riese he's back in a pod this weekend.

As is the (ineligible this spring) backup QB.

Even if all he does is line up at WR and block on a bubble screen, or at RB and run a wheel or flat route, if he's healthy he needs a few snaps for game speed and contact.

JMU gets road win at Elon and falls from 2 to 4. <-- FCS style points

You have a "I know what I know, and that's how it is, homer" brain and a "rational, logical, it needs to make sense" brain. If you're trying to understand the bolded logically, you're using the wrong brain.

File under "Why you need to proof when you are swipe texting from a phone."

Do we know CC will be cleared for the pod? Is there still an outside chance UND has a bye on Friday night*? *If CC is not cleared Miami shuffles up to play SCSU and the #1 gets a bye in the quarters.

I'd take a win by the 5, 6, or 7 seed (but not the 8 ) . Why? With "restacking" for the semis it would mean UND plays someone other than Omaha for the fifth of six games (and seventh of ten). I'd like UND to play a couple different teams headed down the stretch to see some different styles.

Huge trap game. Back to work.

Roofs in MVFC: UND, NDSU, USD, UNI. Is that all?

Tom Wilson gets seven games for that hit? Yeah, he has history, seven games in a fifty six game season?

Anyone have a favorite app for following FCS scores?

Good stark reminder that playing a half-***** game most of the night won’t cut it here on out.

Gaber, Frisch, Jamernik, ... Gaber, Frisch, Jamernik, ... Gaber, Frisch, Jamernik, ... Louis Jam it is. Sing it with me ... Louie Louie, oh no Me need a goal Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said Louie Louie, oh yeah Me need a goal now ...

I googled "kid leash" looking for a picture to use but didn't want to portray Scheel as a child, ... so ... I googled "adult leash". I never, ever want that glimpse into the box on the top shelf of the closet of @JohnboyND7 ever again.

I couldn't figure out how to superimpose "OMAHA" on the front of his jacket.

Both teams had some glorious missed opportunities.
