The Sicatoka

Malkin was hurt at the start of the playoffs with an unknown return so I shied away.

It's the ol' rope-a-dope: Set the expectations overly high and call it a "failure" when they aren't met.

Earth-nocentric bigot!

World? WORLD? Name a better goalie in this galaxy.

You're not kidding, are you? No Trix?

We're gonna run the option run and shoot smashmouth vertical spread west coast pistol pro-style run-first. Understand?

I'm with you on this one.

Pretty safe call there, eh. I'm guessing the team Fleury ends up with can only go up in wins from this year's ... zero.

We'll, we're down to these scenarios: - PIT in 6: Sica's call; Ray would be off 2 slots and wrong team; net: Ray +4 --> Sica wins tournament - PIT in 7: Sica would go +1; Ray would go +2; net: Ray +1 --> Sica wins tournament - NAS in 7: Ray's call; Sica would be off 2 slots and wrong team; net: Sica +4 --> Ray wins tournament

Gopher/cake-eater bias.

It was 8.

Ginny Christian and Ben Cherski. That's a rough run. Nice touch by the Cherski family in asking that memorials be sent to the UND Foundation for a fund in Ben's name.

Is the woman with the "Chicks Dig a Big Pekka" sign behind Rinne again tonight?

Allow me to channel my inner Al Davis: Just win baby.

15 years of WIH; 3 months with it eliminated; I'd guess with that article he just broke even.

Our crack staff has found a recording of yzerman19's reaction to the JLA news.

The dude recycled the same story that shows up any time one of the schools makes a run. I can just about write it as it is so predictable and trite and by wrote. Hopkins lacrosse, North Dakota hockey, Gonzaga hoops, yadda-yadda-yadda. < yawn >

Be fair: There fools beyond those at NDSU.

And some wonder why the populace is skeptical of the media.

Clearly these same folks have no idea about where the North Carolina Tar Heels nickname originated. Or that Illinois kept "Illini" because it was named not for the tribe but for a military unit from Illinois and that unit's nickname was "Illini" based on their home state name of Illiniois and it's origin from the Illini tribe name.* *I'm sure that makes total sense in NCAA-think. < facepalm >

Wally Pipp on line one for you. He wants to talk about some hack backup named Lou Gehrig.

At this point I say ... wait for it ... wa-a-a-ait for it ..... F'Hawk 'em all.
