Agreed. And this baffles me. Listen to Shanahan's explanation. Eric Gryba Suspended 2 Games Video

Unbelievable... Source: Eric Gryba gets 2-game ban I wonder if they'll bring in the RCMP and launch a criminal investigation against Gryba.

Thoughts on the Gryba hit on Eller? Here's a thought - for these 5:00 majors and game misconduct calls, the refs HAVE to be able to use instant replay. That was not a 5:00 major. Anytime a big hit happens and a guy gets hurt, the refs have to error on the side of caution and kick a guy out. I don't like seeing a guy get hurt, but that was not a dirty hit. Good thing it didn't cost Ottawa the game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Rb7sG-xRvU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83qHq-RgEGM

The article linked below got me to thinking - in the article it says: If we look at the Fighting Sioux name - it was used to honor Native Americans, however we were told that it was derogatory to Native Americans by using their name as a school's moniker. David Grosso suggests to use the "Redtails" to honor the Tuskegee Airmen. Why would that be "honoring" them and not derogatory to use them as a moniker for a pro football team? Pol calls for Redskins name change

He was going to the net hard and tried squeezing in-between Kronwall and Howard. I see exactly what you're saying about the kicking motion. I'm not sure if it was deliberate or not - it certainly could have been. However, if this was Matt Cooke I would say it was intentional for sure. Sometimes a guy's reputation precedes him.

Agreed - I love seeing Frattin (and all ex-Sioux players) do well and make a name for themselves. I hope he has a good series. I just wish he played for a different team! Oh well, it could be worse. He could have been drafted by the Canadiens like Kristo was.

The Leafs in 6?! The Bruins have been in a funk lately and they'll still take care of the Leafs in short order. I'll go Bruins in 6...nah, I'll go with 5!

The Bruins/Senators game today will decide 3 playoff series in the East: 1. Bruins win in regulation, Bruins are #2 and Senators are #8 - Bruins play Islanders and Senators go to Pittsburgh, Montreal drops to #4 and plays the Leafs. 2. Bruins win in OT, Bruins are #2 and Senators are #7 - Bruins play Senators and the Penguins play the Islanders, Montreal drops to #4 and plays the Leafs. 3. Senators win (either regulation or OT) - Senators move to #7 and the Bruins stay at #4 - Senators play the Canadiens and the Bruins play the Leafs, the Penguins play the Islanders.

The best thing Columbus did was hire John Davidson and then Davidson hiring Jarmo Kekalainen. Watch for them to improve in the upcoming years.

Wasn't sure where to put this, but in Brad's blog: Quite fittingly, Guertler is committed to Minnesota.

Correct, Jones never committed. Jones handled it with class, he did not use a commitment to UND to force where he wanted to go in the CHL like Clarke and Matteau. Jones was up front and honest about what was going on. You'd have to refresh my memory on exactly how the Miller situation went down. I was referring to guys that actually committed.

Enrico Pallazzo saved the Queen!

Probably as good of place as any place to put this. Blasi gets 10-year extension

So was that an overtime, championship game winning goal or what?

^^^^ This. How many times has it happened where a player commits to UND, then backs out and heads to the CHL? And of those, how many do we really regret losing after all is said and done?

Wow, I don't read Sioux Sports for 1 day and I come here and see that geaux_sioux has again outdone himself. I was going to reply directly to his posts, but after reading them all I'm not sure I have enough time in the day, nor would it be worth it. I'll just continue to let him show his ignorance by posting for himself.

HA - funny. MafiaMan getting after Oxbow about this being a family oriented website right after MafiaMan asked for a post about Haywood Jablowme!

OK - that makes sense then. I'm assuming this 6 outdoor game extravaganza is just for next year, then they'll go back to the 1 main Winter Classic after that. But I've been known to be wrong before...

Sources: NHL finalizing 6 outdoors Umm..no! Also, I was very surprised to see that Minnesota was not on this list.

On NHL.com right now, the front page story is the Wild/Blackhawk game tonight, and there's a cool picture of Parise and Toews. I'm not sure how to copy that picture to SS.com, so you'll have to go there to see it.

Yeah, right - you just wanted us to watch that because of the Maria Kirilenko sighting!

What an awesome post, yababy8! Spot on!

This just doesn't make sense. With the NCHC starting next year and with Denver's recent success, either Gwoz has something cooking (another job) or this is an April Fool's joke.

Fire Enrico Blasi. There's no way Miami-OH should keep him after that...

Good win. If the Sioux are going to do any damage here and possibly win #8, there are going to be 3 more hard fought, very close scoring down to the wire games.
