Better yet, to really get under the Gopher's skin name the line "The Crusaders". They have only one goal, hoisting college hockeys Holy Grail.

We are used to trolls visiting this site and posting on a regular basis so the difference between silliness and provocation can at most times be rather nebulous. As for your new points, Patrick Roy doesn't own the MJ team in Bathurst and they have Malones rights. By choosing to go to school at Cushing Academy, Malone has already demonstrated that, with respect to his hockey career, it was in his best interest to escape New Brunswick and there is nothing about Bathurst that would lure him back. Turris on the other hand has a chance to play on the big local MJ stage, in Vancouver for the Memorial Cup.

Are you as sure about Turris as you were about Malone. Vancouver Giants have his rights and will host the Memorial Cup 07 in the spring. They will continue to make lucrative offers all winter and not too many kids would pass up the chance to play for Cup.

Quite simple actually, these polls exist so that schools outside of the WCHA don't develop an inferiority complex.

Which is why the poll is meaningless. But if it agitates a few arrogant Goof fans then I am all for it.

Is anyone bringing a "We got Malone" banner to fly during Bucky's banner raising ceremony.

Another great effort by the coaches and recruiting staff.

They are all heart and by far the youngest line to ever lead the Sioux. They also keep everyone on the edge of their seats, so if ever a Sioux line has deserved to be called "The Cardiac Kids" they are it.

All the freshmen look decent, I just thought Zajac and Bishop looked more comfortable at this level.

And based on what we have seen over the weekend of the freshmen so far it would appear that Zajac and Bishop should get the most playing time out of the forwards to start the WCHA season.

Part of the equation is that Vermont, being the new kids, on the block, get no respect in the East. They are going to be a real threat to both BC and Maine this season. Likewise DU got all of their preseason hype based on reputation alone and have no proven scorers beyond Dingle. The other surprises of the night were that MSU, AA and NH all lost their exhibition games against Canadian Varsity teams.

First of many this season.

Problems with an irregular heart beat so on the IR.

Bucky down 2-1 to NMU after 2

He didn't specify which Parise

Commodore, Zach Parise, Travis Zajac, Jason Blake, Matt Greene

You had to know that the big line was going to have a better night.

Wow did Toews make them look like the pylons on that one.

DU managed to squeak by Colgate 3-2 in their afternoon consolation game.

Suspended for missing a team meeting.

Any doubts about what the younger Zajac can do now.

Let him see the replay we are watching. Its a no brainer

Yes it is and it is 3-0 for Bucky and DU is down 5-2 to Miami.

What a beautiful first goal by Martens top-shelf
