Which is why we were all having such a good laugh last evening. I will make sure to post plenty of laughter when the Gophs go down in the playoffs so based on what you have posted I guess you will just accept it and understand.

Before you go defending the Gopher puke read post 241.

I just read the rulebook and unfortunately per para 2 the last goal was good. Rule 62 (d):

Laugh it up funny guy. Nothing makes me laugh harder then the brown and yellow fold every spring.

I just saw the replay and it should have been whistled dead as soon as Eidsness touched the puck.

If you touch a puck after your own player makes contact with a high stick the play is immediately dead.

Now what, the officials in this league clearly don't have a clue what they are doing.

He was willing to pay the price to stand in front of the crease. Well Done!

It's held together by rivets?

Boarding or charging would be more believable but his initail contact was with his shoulder. Watch again.

That wasn't an elbow. I would love to demonstrate on Sheppard personally.

It's charging

Toews clearly had more than a step on the Bulldogs. Whatever happened to penalty shots. Will we see any 5 on 5 in this one.

Sharp had too easy a path to the net and rebound on that one.

That is the shot we expect from Frattin. Maybe he will finally get on a roll.

I am going to go out on a limb and guess that you coach mite hockey. Why else would you play a player just for showing up every week

Hextall is already one of the team's leaders and I hope the two regular players that sat out last night watched his intensity and effort last night.

TV gave it to Frattin, Radio gave it to Eidsness

Embellishment, or diving if you prefer ala Robbie Earl. In reality it could be called an unsportsmanlike act.

Absolutely. Those are two players that were expected to be leaders this season. What have they done lately.

Tough to see anything when you fall to your knees before any shot.

I watched the whole game and it ended when MacWilliam got the CFB Major and Misconduct. He may not have gotten any points but he was clearly the anchor on Canada Wests blueliine and he loves to throw the big punishing hits. Plays alot like Matt Greene.

Kristo just assisted on Team USA's fourth goal, feeding Nicastro as he stormed in from the blueline on the powerplay. I can't wait to see Kristo and Cichy in the Kelly Green. Has Nicastro committed to anyone? Then MacWilliam gets a checking from behind and misconduct and the US has made them pa with two PP goals. I think it is safe to say that the third period won't change the outcome of this game. Now Kristo gets a PP goal of his own 7-1 USA.

Cichy with an assist on Team USAs second goal and he scored the third goal, it is 3-1 for Team USA at the end of the first period. It was a Gregoire-like goal from a tough angle. MacWilliam threw the biggest hit of the period with Kristo on the receiving end. I am sure they will talk about that one when they are teammates.

For those of you who can get TSN2 you will have a chance to watch Chichy and Kristo go up against MacWilliam tonight as Team USA plays Canada West in the Junior A Challenge Final from Camrose. Both Chicy and Kristo had an assist in yesterdays Team USA semifinal win over Canada East 5-1. Game starts at 7pm Grand Forks time and one available prospect to keep an eye on during this game is Olsen for Canada West.
