It's okay if we hurt feelings and lose a recruit or two. It's about getting the program back to where it should be. The entire staff will find work somewhere. I'd like four new faces on the bench.

Best one I've seen.

A lot of them are beating a dead horse.

Berry -40 minutes -penalties were bad. Took 5. -End of the day dust yourselves off and play tomorrow. -PK was good. Cant take 5. Too many good players in this league. -Full sixty (c) -Guys battled. -Perron will be evaluated. -Foot on gas tomorrow. Gotta build each period.

Guessing this means TJ tomorrow.

5-3. We are going to get swept.

Guy gets stopped then gets in the goalie's face..... It's been that kind of year.

So puck on net instead of the glass?

I'll take the blame. When I started watching they've missed the net at least 7 times.

4-2

3-2

If this goes to a shootout do we put in TJ? #Brilliant

Low to high, puck doesn't get through....passing atrocious.

One of the last games I ever officiated was a squirt B game where the game winning goal in OT barely went in (but did). Talk about done as a society.....I'm still embarrassed for those people.

The goalie's mom. Fantastic.

Imagine having to take the walk of shame because you disagree with an officials call. Don't get me wrong, I've gotten a bench minor or two in my day, but you are on that much of an emotional rollercoaster that you can't hold it together as a spectator of a game. We love our kids, we support them, but its way out of hand now. Last week at the WF sports arena in the Squirt C International (emphasis on squirt C), I overheard a dad from Bismarck say he was going to make a call on Monday and these officials "would never work another game". Mind you, this was the #4 losers bracket 3rd and 4th place game......USA hockey begs, and I mean begs people to try and stay calm.....and its only gotten worse.

I've got a weird feeling that TJ is in the net this evening. He was okay on Friday at SCSU, but not great by any means, and Bubbs made the "he played really well" comment after the game. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Looks like Davies wrapped up the 4th seed. Means a likely date with Fargo North in the first round in the east. Sheyenne needs a win over DL tomorrow to stay out of the play in game. See which Forsberg shows up.

So taking a major penalty to cost your team a regulation win won't get you a healthy scratch designation, but messing with a teammates gal and you don't ride the bus. Culture.

Many interactions with Pat over the years. Always a good guy to talk to.

Thirty plus years of coaching hockey and softball, and now on his way out. Was going to retire next year from teaching and coaching. Rumor mill is already running wild with this one.

Was only a matter of time. Entire team is Shanley kids.

Thats the one I was forgetting. I just looked up where he ended up, and after the USHL he was apparently at Crookston. Those old programs are fantastic. I wish I had kept them over the years. Was Bismarck's only loss to South that season before the championship game?

Was talking about that Demons team with someone the other day. What a wagon. Mike Peluso, Mitch Vig, Justin Theel. Their goaltending just couldn't hold it together that state tournament. That state tournament for them just felt different after they rolled through the regular season. Barely got by Bottineau and Jamestown, fell behind like 6-3 or 6-2 to Minot, rallied back to tie the game, only to watch future UND commit Tom Phillion score twice late to beat them.

He made one of the best saves I've ever seen in the third reaching behind him and keeping a puck out of the net after he got left hung out to dry. Glad the Jamestown parents let him know it too. Hoping the Jays make the state tournament. I'm told they'll get Walz back here soon.
