Hockey Dude, Great Post!!!

When it comes to the Oshie, never question the Triouxper...

Zach Jones is getting a 4 year degree in anger management. Kyle Radke runs with scissors. Michael Forney is forbidden to do so. Coach Hak can resurface ice by looking at it.

Oshie rips the erasers of his pencils, because he doesn't need them...

I can't imagine that "Come to Anchorage because Sunlight and Winning are over-rated" is an easy pitch...

TJ Oshie took down 3/8 of the Berlin wall with a blistering body check. Communism failed in East Germany shortly there after.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology uses a Joe Finley slapshot to prove the theory of relativity.

I do have to give Marto some credit. I pointed out 2 years ago that he was at 150 in the last two years (according to the listings anyway) he has added 10 per year. He was listed at 170 this season. If he can get 10 pounds of muscle the summer, he might hold up to WCHA play.

And what Sioux-cia wants, Sioux-cia gets...

Nope, and let us never speak of it again...

Thanks for choosing UND, we have enjoyed watching play and develop here. Best wishes for continued success at the next level. Thanks for giving us 2 great years and adding to the history that is Fighting Sioux Hockey. I think I heard an enormous sigh of relief from a host of defensemen, especially in Mankato... P.S. Send that brother of yours our way... P.P.S. Yes, this is another JT thread, get over it, its an open board...

Dewey beats Truman...

8 defensemen is hardly unusual, especially when 1 can play forward. I don't have the link, but I think that Marto MUST come. I think he will be too old for USHL. If I am not mistaken he did sign a LOI and as such UND is required to offer a scholarship. I don't think Marto will see the ice much, but I have been wrong before. (Some would say often ) I suspect that he might be like other Grand Forks natives that become key contributers by their Junior / Senior years.

Yeah that is BS, they just are mad they wouldn't supersize it. What a bunch of McStoners

Oh yeah? I helped Mike Commodore broke Wayne Gretzky's scoring record...

Yes, I would like a very happy meal... With a McCheetos...

This is the great GOP myth... True, a refinery has not been built. However what they don't tell you is how significantly existing refineries have been expanded enough that the capacity to utilization ratios are similar to 30 years ago. Also, please tell me what incentive oil companies have to build a new refinery. Last I checked their bottom lines were doing fine. Also hybrids don't last as long: Myth Smart or Mini would be better: True in fact a case could be made that properly inflating tires on an SUV at every fill save more gas than going from 50 to 100 MPG...

Brian Lee: Hi Derrick, Welcome to North Dakota. Derrick LaPoint: Hi Brian, I'm excited to be here. Brian Lee: Hey, since this is your first game and all, would you do me a favor? Derrick LaPoint: What's that? Brian Lee: Well, would you let an opponent walk around you for an easy goal. Derrick LaPoint: What? Brian Lee: Sorry, its tradition, might as well get started early. Derrick LaPoint: Really? How are the fans? Brain Lee: Oh I think they understand how hard it is to be an underclass defensman in the WCHA. Derrick LaPoint: It sure is good that you have such loyal fans. Brian Lee (As he walks away mumbling): That aught to get them off my back. Derrick LaPoint: I'm sorry I couldn't hear that? Brian Lee: I was just saying good luck tonight...

I think what people will eventually come to realize is that Duncan makes players around him better just as much as other make him better.

Well, now there are now less questions out there... Goal (3): Philippe Lamoureux Aaron Walski Anthony Grieco Defense (8): Robbie Bina Taylor Chorney Brian Lee (will he stay, we should know by June 1st?) Joe Finley Zach Jones Chay Genoway (will he play forward if Lee stays?) Derrick LaPoint Jake Marto Forward (15): Rylan Kaip Kyle Radke TJ Oshie Ryan Duncan Andrew Kozek Ryan Martens Brad Miller Matt Watkins Shea Hamilton Chris VandeVelde Darcy Zajac Michael Forney (will he be healthy enough to play?) Brad Malone Evan Trupp Brett Hextall (if Genoway plays forward next season will he come in 2008)

OK so I might as well recycle this thread. When does David Toews sign his LOI?

"God create Adam and Eve, not Goldy and Bucky..."

The average person drives 12000 miles per year and the total average MPG in 2006 was 21 for cars and light trucks. That means that the average person uses 571 Gallons of gas. At $2 per gallon that is $1142 dollars and at $3 is $1713. A difference of $48 per month. Not insignificant, but there is a reason why this doesn't really hurt the economy. Now if you drove a Prius, which if we ignore the whiners for a second, has about the same interior space as a Camry, Accord, or Taurus, you would realistically get about 46 MPG. Then gas would cost you $783. The reality is that gas prices are just fun to whine about. What we drive and how much we drive is a choice we make. If you really hate gas prices, the live close to work, shopping, and entertainment, ride a bike when it is nice, only own 1 vehicle in the household and see if you really care when gas prices go up. Just remember you are more likely to see $10 gas in the remainder of your life than you are to see $1 gas...

We even have fans that pretend to be fans of other programs.

Interesting. Is Nick Mattson a 2009 for certain or could he be a 2010? Hanowski would also be a huge pickup for the Sioux. i suspect, but don't know, that Lucia would also be going after Zach Budish. In Hanowski's case, I hope he can visit Grand Forks before he makes his decision.
