Yeah watching Okposo around 20 times this year, he does look a little timid at times.
Congrats your team won, but chirping about Okposo is silly. I'm guessing you know that though.
I think they win the game if Okposo is shooting instead of Kane, but hindsight is 20/20 in my case. Incredible performance by Toews. Freakin' Hatrick.
The US had to win the game in the OT. They had better legs and got a PP. You can't leave the outcome to chance which is what they did.
Frazee didn't look like he was comfortable at all in the shootout. I was hoping for a goalie change just to give Toews something else to think about.
Shocking that you would take unrelenting cheap shots at the "U". Must have had your Cheerios soiled again by Lucia right? Or was it some mob of nasty Gophers fans this time? You might as well take a poke at Mase while your at it.
Hirsch could stick handle around many defenders in a phone booth. There has been a lot of speculation that he wouldn't finish the season. It's a shame that a kid who grew up a hockey player can't seem to enjoy himself during what is probably his last year of organized hockey.
He has had some trouble in NCAA play with decision making as well, but so far he has usually had the make up speed to have it not show up on the scoreboard. He has shown a tendency with the Gophers to try to do too much vs. just being a rock solid blue liner defensively.
It is very disappointing so far, but with Canada taking care of Germany and Sweden the US will make the medal round if they somehow manage to win out.
These are the new jersey technology that reduces wind resistances and doesn't hold moisture. The socks don't require the vertical stripe, but hopefully Nike will put it on there anyways.
Pulling the goalie down two in a tourney that uses goal differential as a tie-breaker seems stupid to me. Now they have to win out to have any shot at the medal round. Nice.
Assuming it is JJ, he is a real hot head. He has lost his temper all three times I've seen him play vs. the Gophers and obviously people can get under his skin.
<apologies ahead of time to Sioux Habit who doesn't give a rip about MN history>
Lot's of Gophers fans are complaining and they are funny to poke and laugh at. Lot's of Sioux fans are continuing to wave the HC banner despite some current issues the Sioux are having, they are amusing too...
"Golden Chokers" and "7>3" were always my trigger points. Many of us who understand that the "NCAA" didn't invent hockey are willing to celebrate accomplishments of those who played before WWII. Others who believe in and support everything the "NCAA" stands for don't care about the grandfather of Minnesota hockey. After all they can always get plenty of players from Canada and don't need the talent pool from their Eastern neighbor.
</apologies>
More importantly MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU!
