DamStrait

Okay, who would you have recruited instead? MN,DU & WI recruit the same way. I love Dean Blais, but the last time he had this many freshmen, the team also struggled (mightily)!

Look people, there is absolutely nobody more disappointed w/ this weekend's results than me - HOWEVER: This team has 13 freshmen, 9 of whom start regularly. They will struggle. It ain't their fault (they played a great two games - generally dominated - SCSU got three absolutely smelly goals out of four on the weekend - their 'tender was totally comatose). Games like this happen in hockey. Most of last year was hard to take because it was top heavy w/ seniors. Give these young men a chance to mature. They ain't yet done this year. Next year will be something special. These guys certainly didn't lay an egg this weekend. They worked their tails off and weren't rewarded. Win or lose - I LOVE MY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA FIGHTING SIOUX!!!!!!!!!! Everyone else can go burn in hell.

'04 in the Springs vs. DU. Last night. Tonight. Same damn sorry story. I know this team is young. When are we going to get our bounces? How the hell do the Sioux get three goals this season called incorrectly against them(ON REPLAY - AT HOME)? No wonder Sioux fans suspect an officiating conspiracy against their team. $%&$%^%&&(*%^%^%$# I am sick as hell. I hate the whole &^%*#$@ world. Motzko worships satan (weak-chinned, thin-haired jackass). %^**)%$#%$#&^%*$%^#%$#@^&%(%^*$#%@!%$%^(^%&$#@%%#&^(&(%$%@!$%&^%**$^@^%^&^#$^$#$##@&^%*$#$^#$*^@#$^&&%**&)&*$%^@%!@#^*(%^*&%#^@&&(&&(&*^*)(_*&^&*$%&@%@#^**##^@&%*(*^%(*&)(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is killing me.

Let's go boys! Drip with desire and take control of the game NOW! (Please)

On FSSN now. Was also on last night. Short 7 min pre-game that starts at 7:30 on Fridays & & 7:00 on Saturdays.

Another voice in the now growing chorus: Can't go wrong w/ Pete.

Perhaps it is a means of questoning the intelligence of the average MSU-Mankato student/grad. As in: 'Kato Fan: "Why do you call us the land cows?" Opposition Fan: "Because you aren't sea cows." 'Kato Fan: "I didn't know there were sea cows." Opposition Fan: "That's the point." See below link: http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/mammal/mesaxonia/sirenia.html I don't know, that's my theory. Hopefully someone has a better one.

Here we go again....

Fixed your post. You're welcome.

After Donnie Lucifer's little temper tantrum he laid on Greg Shepherd over the Harrington DQ(where, rumor has it, he said, "You can't do this to us, who do you think we are? Fu&*^$g North Dakota?), UMN should get a couple of our good goals waived off, a couple phanotom goals of their own, or a combination of the two. AGAIN

Well, I know I reek (according to my wife). That should count for something, not?

Thanks PCM, much appreciated. Is it just me or does Hak just reek w/ class?

Hard to hear the Hak post-game inteview on UND webaudio. A brief recap would really be welcome. Thanks

You're DamStrait I do!!!!(but only in a totally nonsexual manner)

Gotta disagree w/ TH. Fabian should be #2 star IMHO. In fact, when my daughter is old enough to date, she will only be allowed to date Erik Fabian. All others will be dealt with in a lethal manner.

When you play like a team, it's amazing what happens!

Now that's what I'm talkin' about!!!!

Good job guys! Phil and Fabian are the game studs.

I can sort of see what your saying jk, but Donnie Lucifer also had St. Phil in the lineup last night in a game that meant almost nothing as there were no conference points to be won or lost and Niagara quite possibly will not be a TUC at year's end (they are not now). And their game started 3 hours earlier. Toews is probably more tired from celebrating than anything. Oshie is sore I'm sure, but he played less than half the bronze medal game. Lee and Chorney are D, and as such they are used to logging lots of ice time. I'm not trying to jump all over you, I just think it's probably not as big a deal as some are tending to make it. Also, while it was apparent to me that St. Phil was definitely wearing down along with Borque, J. Johnson, Ryan and a few others, Oshie appeared to never tire in the world juniors. Even Hak said last night that TJ had plenty of jump.

Thanks, PCM. Sounds like Hak is setting the tone.

You mean they're due?

Gotta say, this is not what I had expected tonight. I know the boys are VERY young. I know that three of them are dog tired and one of those three is still probably very sore. I know another is probably suffering from celebrating a gold medal last night. But it sounds like they played MORE than well enough to win, just didn't get the bounces. These things happen. The important thing is to learn from it and NEVER, EVER QUIT!

I think if I was one of the boys, I'd break a stick or two. Got to be frustrating.

You da man!
