The Sicatoka

Good linemen are like money and goaltending: There is no such thing as "too much".

I was notorious on my American Legion team for coming into the dugout after the first inning and telling our pitcher he was tossing a no-no (if appropriate).

Why am I suddenly hungry for cupcakes?

No Holes! No Holes! No Holes! What else to you cheer for ... a bunch of Danish. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qNVU23knqZw Nuts. 2-0 Canada. Yeah, yeah, ... but I was hoping for a Holy Cross kinda game.

Dang. Too soon. 1-0 Canada.

Shhhh ... but the Danes just survived the opening ten minutes ... shhhh ... don't wake the sleeping beavers ...

A knee is not supposed to move the way Fabbri's did ... ouch.

Bartender, I'll have what Mafia's having.

Gerlach is a 98. With Rowe bailing out Gerlach can't be the replacement. I think we'll be hearing a name for this fall at forward.

Is it making them cross ... or are they just getting bounced. </ obligatory back Czech jokes >

My observations on Team USA: Fasching -- he'd go to the corner but never came away from the boards with the puck. Eichel -- he forgot he had teammates; he was trying to win it by himself USA defense -- small, quick, but I saw nobody that I expect to have a 10-year NHL career (there were no "Cam Fowler" types) USA powerplay -- I don't like the changes v. Russia; they should've left Schmaltz and Matthews together on the second unit; if Eichel needed a shooter on the first unit put Larkin there I might be a homer, but guys I'd take from Team USA in order: Larkin, Schmaltz, DeLeo, Matthews. (You can keep Eichel and that goalie.) We're on a SWE v. CAN crash course. PS - Any of you pilot types available to get Nick Schmaltz back to GF in time for a game v. the U18s?

Can you watch the stream directly off NHL.com with that?

Sedevie had a decent college career at BSU. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=67724

I don't. I remember Layne Sedevie ...

The picture for this game (Big Sky app on iPad) is much better than the mens game this aftenoon. Does UND go with HD and Montana State doesn't? 82-74 UND final

That's gonna look good in my shop.

As much as you ... and I'm still mad at you that you outbid me for the blender.

Outdoor ice conditions have been questionable at points in the past (see: LA, or Wrigley Field, heck, see Omaha but that wasn't pro). Stars can get hurt walking out from the tunnel, but why put them in conditions (poor ice) that increase the risk? As far as "buzz", look even at this site: the luster of "winter classic" isn't what it was. I'll say it again: The minute this costs an owner a player you'll see teams staying away from the gimick. PS - Playing outdoors, on an outdoor football or baseball field, differentiates ... how?

Rowe going to ASU signals something may be afoot with UND's recruits at forward but I'm not going to go with the irrational exuberance* quite yet. * © Alan Greenspan circa 1990

Gimme a minute ... I'm buyin' a weed whacker for $20 ...

The "MAYHEMSALE.com" commercial was spectacular! (If you're dumb enough to broadcast on social media that your house is vacated ... )

This outdoor game stuff will end the day an owner loses a key player for the season due to questionable ice conditions.

One NFL home team loses this weekend.

Ah, yes, Prior Lake. My mistake. No matter what, it seems an imbroglio moved to become a fracas.
