I have a problem with students wanting to move behind the net the Sioux shoot at twice. I have had season tickets there for close to ten years and consider them to be better seats than those between the blue lines. The students real fight needs to be defending their rights sitting at center ice. Yes you should be able to stand during scuffles, close plays, goals, etc. However, you do not need to stand every second of the game. From my seat, it looks like the students have been doing a good job of this as of late but apparently people sitting next to them must still be whining. It all boils down to the strong anti-youth sentiment that exists in this community. Adults consume way more beer and do just as much swearing at UND games. However, when a student does it, it is a big deal and when an older guy does it, people turn their head the other way. When a student seat sits empty, it is interpreted as students not appreciating their ticket rights, while when adult season ticket seats sit empty, no one says anything. It goes on and on, basketball court at University Park taken away after people complain about it. Guess what, that BBall court was there longer than most of those people in the neighborhood. How about the frisbee disc course at Optimist Park? Gone after people in the neighborhood complain. What's next, will they shut down Ulland Softball course after the rich people at Deaconess Greens complain? There, I am done for now. And yes, I have a stomache ate from all the crow I ate regarding Hakstol.

Someone needs to do something about the consistent officiating bias against the Sioux. Once again, the opposing team gets three more PP than the Sioux, including a lengthy 5X3. The Gophers were thoroughly kicked in this game but crappy officiating almost let them back in to the game.

And Tyler Hirsch is not crazy after all.

Watch the Game and buy a gift for your daughter. It might set you back a few bucks but all will be well between you and the daughter. Now between you and your wife......I have no suggestions there.

Sioux will win 5-2 against BC and send Jerry York's pompous New England a$$ home crying just like Gionta in 2000. PS. Get ready for the Flutie cam tomorrow night and about 50 replays of "the play"

How about having everything to do with his character. Both situations involve attacking or taking advantage of people in defenseless positions. Sure, I think that he deserved a second chance after messing up PRIOR to coming to DU. However, he ruined that chance and should be gone now. Anyone that rooted for Bochenski should believe in second chances. However, I have a problem when third and fourth chances start getting handed out.

I feel sympathy towards the plight of native americans, especially the children killed at this shooting. They never had a chance to be successful because of one disturbed kid with a gun. However, I will never feel guilty for the plight of native americans. In my opinion, many of the reservations have the tools or means to be successful but due to corruption, they can never flourish. Most of this corruption is by members of tribal councils and other leadership positions. the white man can no longer be blamed. Tribes need to look at themselves and give the boot to corrupt members that steal from their own people. The white man does not throw the rocks through the windows of most new buildings on the reservations. the white man did not overfish the red lake robbing it of it's walleye. It is not because of the white man, that Red Lake reservation needs a correctional facility bigger than what the entire county of grand forks needs. Red lake reservation has absolutely beautiful natural resources. Why can't they utilize that beauty and build a resort of some sort? The casino that is there now is a dump. Build a nice resort/casino right smack dab on the Red Lake. Build a golf course to go with it. Have guided hunting during the hunting season. Set up a camp where people can visit and learn about the culture. They could teach people how to make jewelry, blankets, and moccasins. Change has got to start from within. Just my thoughts.

I have business that takes me to Red Lake about four times a year. It reminds one of a third world country with the poverty that exists there. Most of the people that I have encountered have been very nice but I never feel very safe there, mainly because it sure seems like a lot of bad things happen there.

One could say that the Sioux played their best hockey of the year this past weekend without Hennen announcing. He does have a good announcing voice though.

Maybe he finally got so big that we are all in him right now without knowing it.

Nice, any other personal prejudices, phobias, or bias that you want to get out in the open? I have said, Massen had a nice game (and looking back he does have a three game point streak) and have also said that I like Fabian because he can make plays, but the seniors will need to continue this run all the way to the National Tourney for me to think of their careers as anything but underachieving.

Nice game by Massen, but sorry, one game does not make up for the whole season. If he can put together a string of good games when they count (like he did tonight), then his supporters can start talking. If that happens, I will be the first to say that I was wrong.

What is Massen's role? He does not score, he does not play on special teams (pk or pp), he is not a bruiser even though he probably should be given his size, and he is not the guy that we depend on to win that critical draw late in the game. What else is there? In my opinion, one example of a guy that evolved is Rory McMahon, he started out on the lower lines as a defensive specialist. He is still that great defensive forward but when called on earlier in the year, he put some points on the board. I appreciate your point that some players are role players but some players are not pulling their weight in my opinion. Regarding the Gophers 4th line of Waibel, Fleming, and Smaagard, I can't stand the Gophers but that was an awesome 4th line that probably would be the second best line on this current Sioux team.

That is the problem. These guys have been getting alot of playing time. I like Fabian because he actually makes a play once in a awhile. Massen and Canady are stiffs and have been for four years. You could take any two forwards from Red River or Central this year and simply by chance they could probably match the point totals of those two. Guys like Prpich have not produced either but at least Prpich makes up for it with his high energy and penalty killing (something that neither Canady or Massen brings to the table).

Correct me if I am wrong, but are these stats correct for Fylling, Canady, Massen Fylling 35gp 10 pts Massen 32gp 4 pts Canady 27gp 3 pts Those are three seniors who all have got significant playing time this year. It is no wonder that the Sioux are struggling for a national tourney spot. On the bright side, Rory Mcmahon has been solid.

According to you, South has the state's best feeder program (the Flyers,..wink wink) Wilson should be winning it every year.

I think that there has been some confusion about my screen name. BringDeanBack refers to "keep bringing Dean Wilson back" as Fargo South coach. As long as he is there, South will continue to underperform with the talent that they have.

Isn't youth basketball run through the ymca til the 5th grade?

No other city has the facility to hold the state tournament. Personally I do not think it would make any difference in the outcomes. However, there would be too much lost ticket revenue if it left grand forks.

First two periods were good for the Sioux but they seemed to coast in the third. Nevertheless, it was nice to see that this team still has a heartbeat.

Specifics and DaveK should open up a wine factory with all of their sour grapes. I find it amusing that I am accussed of "living through high school kids" when DaveK has done nothing but hype the Fargo Flyer Squirt and younger program for the last year. Yes, I never played high school hockey so I am sure the South kids would have no problem knocking me on my butt. But I also feel pretty confident that I could score nine out of ten times on their goalie.
