Sioux_Hab-it

IMO the only player who is a potential quick departure after the FF is Smaby. Tampa Bay has several key D-men missing or banged up while trying desperately to hang on to a playoff spot.

Imagine my surprise when I moved into Ottawa last summer and found out that my neighbors had named their Black Lab, Dakota Sioux. It turned out they didn't know a thing about the hockey team but fell in love with the state during one of their many motorcycle tours.

That made my evening.

Maybe he is so embarassed by being outperformed and outclassed by Oshie and Toews that he has decided to take his one move to Major Junior instead. Where he can get outperformed by the 16 year old Esposito and 15 year old Tavares instead.

You've got that right. I had to pay $6.25 for a 14oz draft at last nights Sens/Devils game. Mind you that was in Canadian funds.

Perhaps the future Mrs. Sparky factors into the equation in some way.

You forgot the caveat that the seats must be completely occupied by Gopher fans for the big event. Just promise them free cover charge, free booze and a pyrotechnics display they will never forget.

Schneider got handed his loss last year by the Sioux because we have players who can go to the net. The bigger challenge for the Sioux will be shutting down BCs top two lines so the score will likely be tighter than last year. As for Maine, their program is in many ways like that of the Sioux and they are peaking at the right time too. Some of their players such as Leveille have elevated their play as the season has gone on so they will give Wisconsin a respectable battle. I should have known better than to count them out in the pool.

You are correct In that case Toews won't go any lower than number two.

If I could get in I would ask him if they are out to avenge losing the Beanpot to North Dakota last season.

I guess they must have pulled on their "M"ercyhurst Jerseys for that one.

Toews, won't go any lower than number three and that will only happen if the two top teams want a blue chip Dman and pick Johnson and Staal one and two. If St Louis or Chicago gets the number one pick Toews could go number one as they need talent up front. Pittsburgh clearly needs help on their blueline ASAP as do others and Johnson and Staal are both ready to step right into the NHL.

This was a good subject for debate before the playoffs. Now it is over, game set and match to Toews.

Cornell can't use the big pond excuse this year because wan't that a pro size rink.

Perhaps they meant to say longest scoreless game.

Earl is pathetic crawling off the ice with a supposed case of leg cramps.

Who knows with some of the announcers and analysts they dug out this year, but that is what they announced anyway. Maybe they meant to say longest scoreless game.

They must have stopped counting after regulation because I thought the announcers said that Wisconsin has 53 shots after 5 periods. Maybe I heard wrong.

My NHL channel has switched to showing the Leafs/Devils game. I hope they go back On a positive note Parise had an assist on the Devils goal.

2OTs are in the book 0-0

Now the longest game in NCAA playoff history.

It remains scoreless because there is no one like an Oshie or Toews who can make the required moves and go hard to the net.

I would agree that there should be no unattended 8 year olds at the REA and in that situation you should have called in the REA arena security. You most likely would have got the result you were seeking because they tend to deal with every situation that is brought to their attention with a heavy fist.

Right and their number one was unbeaten until he went up against last years Sioux team that was supposedly challenged with respect to offence. This years team will light the red lamp behind him so often he will forever be remembered as the BC HO.

I was talking all playoff championships ie) Final Fives and since you wouldn't have been on the outside for all of those I guess I shouldn't expect you to understand. If you were letting eight year olds get to you well that says alot about your character. Got any kids of your own.
