  1. Please read the rule book. Intent is in no part of the rule. ANY hit to the head is a penalty. Period.
  2. As Motzko stated, Marvin is a key component of their special teams. SCSU is a little weak defensively, and their goalies are struggling a bit. Losing his experience on the PK could be a factor.
  3. Folks - IMHO it is past time to move on. There are games and playoffs to focus on. This is over and done with. Let it be a distraction for SCSU, but not the Sioux.
  4. Kangas has shown a tendency to play great at the X, but has been merely human at the Ralph. That might be something to consider.
  5. You have to admit that Cepis has lit up the Gopher attitude a bit. They have definitely been more into the game since he arrived. I don't like it, but I acknowledge it.
  6. Gregoire for Saturday
  7. UMD-Gophers square off after the final whistle, but officials manage to break it up. Lucia involved for the Gophers.
  8. 2-1 Gophers on a breakaway
  9. Canada 2-0 oops, still 1-0
  10. Canada up 1-0
  11. Friday - Kristo
  12. I think that it is a Don Cherry thing. Cherry has literally called Crosby the second coming ever since he was in the World Juniors and trashed talked every other non-Canadian hockey player with any skill, especially Ovechkin. I agree that Crosby is a top hockey player, but Don Cherry has instilled an anti-Crosby attitude in me. I've come to realize that it really isn't an anti-Crosby attitude, it is an anti-Cherry attitude as I simply cannot stand that jerk. Kind of a guilt-by-association thing, even though all of the blame likely rests with Cherry.
  13. VCR?? Is that a new thing? I have to get me one of those if it is.
  14. If you have a passport, crossing the border shouldn't be an issue. If you don't, it can become more difficult. One very large potential problem area for some people is if you or anyone in your group has a drug conviction or a DWI/DUI on your record in the U.S. With a drug conviction, you likely will not be allowed to cross. With a DWI/DUI, they will let you cross after you pay the Canadian fine for such a violation. It happened to a guy in our Canada fishing trip group. He had a DWI on his record that was over 20 years old. It cost him about $200 for the Canadian fine for that very old incident. It would be best to check with customs well before the trip to find out if any prior U.S. convictions will be an issue.
  15. This is extremely similar to the hit that Minnesota's Leddy took earlier this year against Alaska, except here Geoffrion had the puck while Leddy had passed the puck. Both were shoulder hits to the head because the hit player had the head down. Many saw the hit on Leddy as a legitimate hit and not dirty. Yet with Geoffrion the opinion seems different because of the history with Marvin. I am not saying whether I feel the hit was dirty or not, we just need to think about consistency. If this hit is considered dirty, so was the one on Leddy.
  16. Then reverse the question. Why does MN have so many out of state players on their football and basketball teams? If they feel it is such a good policy for hockey, why not FB and BB. Minnesota does have football fields and basketball gyms. The reason ND doesn't have many in-state hockey players is that very few schools in ND have hockey programs. ND has a population of 600,000 while MN is pushing 5,000,000 which is almost 9 times the size. If UND has 2-3 ND players, MN should equally have 18-27 MN players. So, it is equal.
  17. I doubt that they have the ability to decide one way or the other yet. It isn't just up to the player and coaching staff. If he is cleared to play at any point in the season, then he isn't eligible for a medical redshirt. And concussions are simply an unknown. One day the symptoms can simply be gone. You cannot tell that in advance. So unless he gets better before then, they won't know until possibly the Michigan Tech series about his season.
  18. That's the one. Classic! Thanks Bob.
  19. I'm up for a repeat of the UMD play a few years ago when the UMD goalie shot the puck from the side board into his own net off the D-man. I tried to find a clip of it on youtube, but didn't have any luck.
  20. Easy now Fetch, don't take away the only thing that he has been able to prove.
  21. I think our best bet is CC in a number of areas. The Sioux are now 4 points behind CC and control their destiny for 5th place and home ice in the first round of the playoffs. And should the Sioux remain in 6th, I would prefer they play CC than any of the other teams in 1st through 4th, although St. Cloud maybe isn't so tough any more. The last time they were on a hot streak late in the season the Sioux thumped them pretty good and they never recovered. St. Cloud got swept out of the Final Five and lost their NCAA playoff game.
  22. WI was up on Mankato 6-2 Light weekend for the WCHA
  23. DU beats Gophers 5-1
  24. Hakstol said he told Frattin if he didn't score he couldn't get on the bus to come home. After Frattin scored, Malone picked up the puck, took it to the bench and threw it in, saying "Here's Matt's bus ticket."
  25. du 4 mn 000000
