When I played in Bantams (too many years ago to even admit) Fargo Flyers were supposed to win the Bantam title and in fact did win and everybody said "watch out as Fargo is going to kick the crap out of the GF schools at the HS level". It never happened as a GF school won the title every year Flyer kids were in HS. Like I said DaveK...past history will tell you a lot - you just choose to ignore.

Same song but different verse. You were saying the same thing a year ago and RR still ended up being the best team in the state. With that being said, I think it would be great for ND hockey that other teams were up to the level of GF as that will only make the programs within ND that much stronger.

Where in my post do do I say that I am guaranteeing anything in the future. What I am saying is that past history certainly is something that can help predict the future - look at history of the stock market, success of the New England Patriots, success or failures of political campaigns etc....

Or what past history indicates....

Is this game on TV?

How is Oshie doing in the World Junior Tourney against the best players in the world for his age?

BLAH BLAH BLAH

Oshie is fun to watch - not only does he have great skills but it seems he is giving 120% every time he is on the ice. It begs the question, how long do you think we will see Oshie in a Sioux jersey? I would like to think 3 years but that may be too optimistic....

Does it really matter? As much as I would like to think they have a chance, I know better. By the way, I would take a player like Favre any day over a Dante, keep it in your pants, Culpepper.

Yep - you are right, the Vikes will be done very soon.

Apparently it is cold in the arena. Big save by Lammy.

Does he feel shame?

Hey the Vikes are going to the Bowl Baby...

you beat me to it....

How is the Pack doing this year???

Actually yes - it has been a slow day at work. Bottom line is that regardless of the year, the town, the school etc... running up the score to that level really is uncalled for.

You are digging back for that one a ways aren't you DaveK. Slow day at the salt mines? Basically, are you saying that it is Grand Fork's fault that South ran up the score against Whapeton? Good logic.

GK , I have sat by the side lines reading your posts for several months now. I really take pity on your views or perhaps it is just the way you express those views. You and I, as well as everyone else on this board has the right to post their own opinions. You constantly cross that line as if you speak for everyone in the Sioux Nation. I admire your determination in fighting for a cause but I cannot begin to comprehend your negativeness and your one-sided view of every piece of information presented to you. Your cause, IN MY OPINION, would be far more just if you were to expend that energy on real life issues as to how to make YOUR PEOPLE's life better in a meaningful way - you obviously have the energy and passion to do that. One last thought. You put up for discussion the fact that you don't feel comfortable discussing with your child the antics of the MN Vikings. I, on the other hand, have a 5 year old boy that adores Fighting Sioux Hockey. As a result, I have spent a significant amount of time explaining to him the tradition of the Sioux Nation and I am not talking about the hockey tradition. As a result of those discussions, I guarantee you that he has the respect and understandng of your culture far more than he would have every had if the name was the University of North Dakota Flickertails.

IMHO a very classless move by the South program. I know other schools have "run-up" the score as well but that does not make it right. Is there a mercy rule in HS hockey?

Thanks!

I have to admit that I am a novice user on this site meaning I really don't know the in's and out's of posting appropriately when it comes to replying to a topic. I see that PCM and others are able to post a portion of a quote but when I do it, I either quote the entire portion (can be annoying have to continue to scroll through the reply) or I mess it up and just see {quote) and then my attempt at posting. I was hoping some of you could help me out with how to do this or point me in the direction where I could find directions on this subject. Thanks in advance for your help!!!

New Years Resolution = no more Kessel discussion. Are ya with me???

Vande certainly is not exactly lighting it up in Lincoln if you look at his stats. I do think in time he should be a pretty decent player however. I too am concerned with what will be a serious lack of size and physical play from our d next year. Smaby will be gone. Lee and Chorney do not play physical at all especially Lee. Jones plays physical but does not have the size to intimidate the opposition. Radke is not physical and Marto is very light on the strength side of things. Finley is huge but I have yet to see hardly any physical play you would expect from a guy that size. He is very young and I think his physical play will pick up once he completely adjusts to the college game. In an ideal world you would have a balance between physical d-men and puck carrying/finesse d-men. Last year we did not have the finesse d-man to move the puck and run the PP. Now it seems as if we are moving toward an all finesse d-corps with the excetion of Finley for the next few years. I will put my faith in the coaches hopefully they have this all planned out.

No - we can only post the scores of other games in progress

If they opened a Red Pepper stand in the Ralph, my life would essentially be complete!
