DU up 1-0

Have to be X-ray. Can't have metal goal posts in an MRI.

I believe that Mr. Hakstol acquitted himself quite nicely. He was involved for a purpose, not as a chippy goon, but as a team player defending team members. Even though I generally don't condone fighting, both of these situations were in response to the goonish actions of others. Well done.

I look at it this way. While I am disappointed not to have Genoway playing, a whole lot of the team is learning to play without him. I think the team will be much better when Genoway does get back.

For Friday I will take Gregoire.

Live from Magness where half full stands are a sellout evidently. We aren't matching the Denver forwards intensity so far.

He is trying to figure out how to get on the ice so he can claim he is on the way to the locker room and got lost. And it looks like Butler is trying to smooth down his hair!

Haven't planned that far ahead. Alaska will need to be an October trip to allow for some sightseeing. Bemidji and Omaha are easy, if we can get the game tickets.

We're off to Denver for Fighting Sioux hockey. That leaves Sullivan arena in Anchorage as the only WCHA arena we haven't been to, yet. Until 2010 anyways, then we can add Bemidji and Omaha too!

I believe that is a Chevy Vega. That is why he looks so tall.

Gophers win 5-2

Would you prefer that we don't score from the point, don't get any lucky bounces, and have our powerplay stink? It is very early in the year and we have many freshmen playing. At this point I am quite happy with where we are at. The past few years we haven't started off very good. If this team progresses the way the past few teams have progressed, they will be scary.

Wow 3-0 Goofs on 11 shots.

For Friday - Gregoire For Staurday - Genoway

So she was popular?? Dinkytown has so many enticements.

I did my pre-engineering at DSC in 1969-1971 and drove school bus for the Versippi route, which I believe was NE of Dickinson. There were some remote areas out there. Hope they are okay and didn't drive into water.

And that is a major assumption on your part. I work in the industry, and quite of few of the wind farms are going up as loss leaders and based on speculation on spot market wholesale prices. Right now they are doing very poorly, because the vast majority of the time the wholesale spot market price is below the price needed to make such wind farms cash flow properly. The only thing keeping them afloat is the federal Production Tax Credit, which you are paying for. Just like we have all these ethanol plants that are making money, right? Not quite. We have a couple new ones that have never fired up because the economics are so bad, yet they were built.

We are going to Denver from Fergus Falls. Leaving on Thursday and coming back on Monday.

Are you sure about that?

Denver played 1 Junior, 2 sophomores, and 3 freshmen on D last night. Donovan, one of the freshman looked very good.

*ahem* Here are a couple cheers that I recall from the 70's. Sandwich sandwich double decker We've got the Gophers by the pecker So Pull Sioux, Pull! Down the river and over the falls We've got the Gophers by the balls So squeeze Sioux, squeeze!

Watched the whole Gopher-DU game. DU looks very good. Cheverie was absolutely solid in goal. Denver's defense looked very good, quick breakouts. And Denver's top line has got to be one of the best in the country. Of course, it was the Gophers. As for the Gophers, it looks like their effort at playing tough is getting chippy after the whistle. Lucia cross-checks a DU player after the whistle to knock him down on top of Kangas. To Kangas' credit it appeared he knew what happened and didn't retaliate. It looks like Carman is stepping it up with his after the whistle antics as well. I also thought the refs let the Gophers get away with after the whistle crap. They also seemed to swallow the whistle on a number of intereference penalties during the game (both ways). In total, DU is a team to contend with and the Gophers could be on the verge of a melt-down.

You like to see good solid hits like that, but on the other team. Heck of a check. Link http://www.nhl.tv/team/console.jsp?hlg=200...mp;event=CHI566

Blood is playing very well also. He is one cool guy back there and he is big and tough.

And he can sing, ala "Paint Your Wagon" The Great Scout and Cathouse Thursday wasn't too bad either.
