You know damn well it wouldn't hurt sappy or myself to miss a few meals.

You buying? I'll meet you there.

Boy, that's a tough question. It would be difficult to pick one. I can tell you that the one's I've ran into here and there have all been very cordial. The Oshie, Kozek, Porter, Radke, Finley, Johnny Toews, they always take the time to say hey, and B.S. with you a little bit. That's just a few that I've run into, but my experience is that most or all of them are the same way.

Your thinking of the fight tape at the Pepper that has mich and mich st. The one at the Moon has Sioux fights only on it. I know, I've seen it many times. But any way, it is a great tape, along with great food, and lots of other memorabilia. Including The Oshie's and Zajac's helmet's from last year, and lot's of picture's. That Stafford one where he's snowing that goalie is the best EVER, I hope they never take it down.

Kaip is a tough cookie, but #26 is one tough cat as well. Radke gave up quiet a bit of size when he took on cummings last year. I wouldn't want to square off against either one of those guys. Both of them have earned my respect for standing up for their team.

I see Kaip's jersey went for $650 on Friday night. Too bad it wasn't up for auction on Saturday, it may have went for more than that after his little scrap.

Ok, I guess RW is down to only eight of the top ten dumbest posts.

He can still have the other 9.

Folks, I know it's early, but I 'm betting this ends up as one of the top 10 dumbest posts of 07.

Next year? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse? How about tonight? How about this weekend? I'm a little more concerned with here and now. Take care of business tonight, then round out the weekend with a win Saturday, then go from there. I really don't care who scores and how many they score as long as the Sioux have more goals at the end of 60 minutes.

Agreed. However, I have to believe that a team would be a little more patient with a #5 overall draft pick then a player who was taken in the 2nd round or later. Therefore a guy like wheeler might be given the benefit of the doubt vs. a player drafted in the later rounds.

I guess I just don't see any NHL team wasting a #5 overall pick in the AHL for a prolonged period of time. Honestly, wheeler would be stupid to even accept a deal like that. If you get drafted that high you do have some bargaining power I would think.

The funny thing is Duncan will be here for two more years adding to his career point totals. Meanwhile, poor Blake Wheeler will only have his millions he is earning in the NHL to console him. I hope he is able to live with himself knowing that he didn't have the NCAA stat's that Duncan did.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. The candidates are all posted at hobeybaker.com. The Sioux have two that I could see, Oshie and Toews. You log on and vote. You can vote as many times as you want in the first round.

Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but preliminary voting has begun for the Hobey Baker. Let's all give our guys a little help.

I'm sure long island frazee is no stranger to that position. He's probably been in it many times, with his head hanging in the gutter, puking, outside of Blarney's.

Yeah, people tend to forget that these guys have been banged up for a good portion of the season. They will come around, no doubt in my mind.

Believe me fellas, this old Sioux fan's heart will be broke as much or more than anyone's when those guys leave for greener pastures. I would love for them to stay another year, I'm sure certain circumstances could make them stay or go, that's up to the team that owns their right's. But I will also be very happy and very proud of them and all the other's that get to fullfill their lifelong dream of playing pro hockey. We gotta enjoy while we can.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure next year JT, and TJ as well, will hang around here to get the s&!t beat out of them night after night, game after game. All for a losing season and no hardware to show for it. Making money in the NHL is obviously a less appealing option than that.

Ok, and as the deal breaker, I want one of those hula girl bobble thingy's to stick to the dash.

Ok, as long as my contract includes a clause for an allowance for booze and strippers, I'm in.

Hey, somwhere, someone out there, is turned on by us plus-sized fellas shaped like bowling pins. You just have to market yourself to the right people.

Yes, I'm in perfect shape....................if I was a bowling pin!

Yeah, but think about this. In a warmer climate you could wear a jock, and nothing else, while you were scrubbing jocks. You can't get away with wearing nothing but a jock in sub-zero temps, I don't care how much Grain Belt you've had.

But hey, it's not like that's a bad thing (Grain Belt I mean, not scrubbing jocks.)
