The Sicatoka

Well, ... yes. It's the old, single-word answer. Travel. Bus leagues are cheaper than having to fly everywhere.

I'll try to get to this on Mondays. Here's what I have on the morning of April 16th (please verify/find my errors) 40 - George M. Bluth 38 - Goon 35 - stoneySIOUX 34 - Ray77 31 - sioux rube 31 - Siouxper Dave 26 - andthehomeoftheSIOUX!! 24 - Fader 23 - Petey23 22 - The Sicatoka 21 - Engineer 20 - 90siouxfan 20 - Shawn-O JV19 - MafiaMan19 - Shawn-O 8 - 90siouxfan's buddy Alberto's JV Additional stat: Total points of all players chosen by all game participants: 104 <-- That'll help find mistakes.

You're "apart" of the %gobc? When'd they kick you out if you are "apart" of them.

Wingels should've gotten a minor for the elbow the Marner's head. The head snapped back. Now if Kadri wanted to "deal" with it he should've invited Wingels out, dropped gloves, and settled it. Instead Kadri will be wearing a suit, for running a guy, for at least two games is my guess. The problem? If Kadri had challenged Wingels right there, Chara would've stepped in. The issue wasn't with Chara's (clean) contact and Zdeno didn't see the Wingels elbow to Marner's face but Chara would've stepped in. It's what he does.

Masterfully played.

You do realize you just contradicted yourself.

( Hang the curve and someone will hack at it. )

Sometimes (at least I hope) some are just doing this to Mafia:

Don't call an NLI a "contract" else the player would be ... < wait for it > ... under contract. <-- PROFESSIONAL! It is merely a "binding agreement" ... "Binding Agreement" FAQs. In any other context a "binding agreement" to provide a service in exchange for something of value would be a contract.

Found it. I now agree with your numbers.

I have four discrepancies. I show Sicatoka, Engineer, Fader, and ShawnJV each as 1 point less. I can't find it in mine.

moser, Again. At risk of repeating myself. What are you, you personally, doing to make Grand Forks a better place to live? Kvetching on the radio, and kvetching here, is the direct opposite. Show me the business and jobs you've created. Heck, show me how you've improved someone else's business in Grand Forks. Have you gone and lobbied at the Legislature about your concerns? Or just even show me how you've volunteered with a Greater Grand Forks group to make Grand Forks, well, greater. I'll hang up and listen. < dial tone >

Where's Fetch fit into the mix?

A player at age 16 is the same at age 20. Just ask Tucker Poolman ...

Carlson WAS Hedman TB Doughty LAK Subban NAS Kucherov TB Malkin PIT Karlsson VGK Wheeler WPG Kuznetsov WAS Forsberg NAS

The rules (same as 2017): - pick six (6) forwards - pick four (4) defensemen - straight POINTS, not goals, POINTS (G + A) scored by your ten players in the four rounds to the Cup determines winner - no more than five (5) players from a single NHL team on your team Teams must be in before first playoff puck drop Wednesday night. And I'm not going to have much time to track scores this year; I'll need help with it. Thanks to everyone in advance. For those with short memories: last year's game

If you're looking for a factor, how about the dirt the city is built on.

Meh. You've always been soft.

Ponder this: Eight guys from the win over QU are in the NHL right now. Schmaltz, Boeser, Caggiula, Gersich Stetcher, Poolman, LaDue, Wolanin Imagine this year's team with Schmaltz and Boeser still playing ... with Jost, and Poolman. All that said, you have to keep bringing in talent to replace what goes.

Berry is going nowhere for at least two more years, and it would take two years missing the NCAAs and with declining attendance at that. But, say, the unspeakable (namely that) were to happen, who's on the short list circa 2020. I'm going to say right now it's not Sandy, or Eades, or Herter, or even Steve Johnson. They'll all be knocking on 55 or better. Who is the up and coming coach in the family?

After losing a late lead against CHI earlier this week and not even getting the OT point they desperately needed, and then losing last night at COL, is Yeo still in STL this morning?

PHI wins, CBJ and NJD both lose and PHI is #3 in the Metro when they were out of the playoffs not that long ago. Better yet? By finishing #3, it sets up PHI v PIT, "The Keystone Carnage" in Round 1.

To 2018-2019 UND Hockey I say ... So close. So, so close. How close? Who is the last team to defeat the current National Champions? Stings a bit, doesn't it. Well 2018-2019 version of UND Hockey, how's all that sit with you? Are you going to be satisfied with double digit ties on the season? Are you going to learn from blowing two-goal leads down the stretch? Better, are you going to learn from blowing a three-goal lead on the road, a game that if you'd have held onto you'd have been in the tournament. Blowing leads and accepting ties shows me a lack of maturity and worse, complacency. Do you like how that feels right now? Or are you going to start deciding, figure out, that winning, winning games, winning periods, winning splits, winning kills and power plays, winning shifts, winning draws, winning races, winning loose pucks, winning, is a lot more fun than "so close". But winning requires focus, and intent, and will. Time to exhibit some. Winning is an attitude and habit; and so is where you're at now. So what habit are you going to make for 2018-2019.

So teach him to block a < bleep-bleep > punt or kick!

That's why we need photos of the actual field from someone there. It's 200 feet to the RF corner the way it looked.
