2) Getting the booze into drinking form: You've got the flask into the concourse, and now it's time to get it into acceptable drinking form. Go to one of the vendors and purchase a fountain soda. I don't prefer the 20 oz containers because of the small opening. Also, the clarity of the plastic container can be the rat that parts you and your student tickets for the rest of the season. Anyway, I would recommend getting the largest fountain pop you can. Usually, you can get some sort of collectors cup, which is opaque. This is perfect. Now, order your coke, and don't forget the lid! The lid is important to prevent spillage, and to block any alcoholic vapors from security personnel. Also be sure to purchase a small popcorn and a misc. candy for future use to be explained later. The next step requires a lookout. If you both are attempting this, you can take turns. It will be fun. Anyway, pour out the desired amount of coke at a nearby water fountain. Now, if the coast is still clear, quickly put the booze in the container and get the lid on. If there is high concourse traffic, and you have little kids waiting to use the water fountain, do not but the booze in the container just yet. All you need is one spoiled brat to narc you out to their rich mom and dad, and your season is over. Take it to a concourse side table, preferably one without glass. Set up with the popcorn and candy like you and a friend are having nice innocent conversation. When the coast is clear, pour it and cap it. In extremely high traffic times such as Wisc, UM, UMD, one may be forced to use a bathroom stall to make the mix.
*Disclaimer: This post is for entertainment value only. Airmail does not condone disregard for the rules and practices of the management and staff of Ralph Engelstad Arena. Airmail further does not condone consumption of alcohol by minors, even though he consumed a lot as a minor. Airmail also says if you try it and get busted, I will not be held responsible. You obviously weren't smart enough to pull it off, and dumb people shouldn't be killing more brain cells with alcohol anyway.

I like how you think, but why not simplify by bringing the soda you purchased into a bathroom stall regardless. Shut the door and mix it up; you have privacy as there are NO security cameras in the REA restrooms (for obvious reasons)!
Also, during winter, which takes care of most of the hockey season, loading, but not overloading, miniatures into gloves (choppers) works very well, at least it did in the day and at past FF's
While holding both choppers in one hand, open your coat for security. The open coat creates the diversion and security won't likely consider squeezing your gloves.btw, with your permission, I would like to adopt your disclaimer as it relates to this matter?!

I may be wrong but I heard that Kupchella didn't even go

That is a fairly decent nonconference schedule. A little different look next year with Northeastern and Harvard coming in and a home and home with Bemidji and away games with UNH and MSU and Miami - I like it.
I notice that after Wisco plays at REA on Nov. 4-5, there isn't another home series until the Gophs on Dec. 9-10 - that is quite a span without home hockey, but Duluth and St. Cloud are always fun roadtrips!

A few months back it was stated in the Madison papers that the Lefty McFadden tourney would be Miami, Michigan St, Wisconsin and Wayne St. The dates being Oct 14-15, unless Wisconsin had to back out this would be different then what you've heard as Wayne St still lists their season opener as being in. The other teams haven't released their schedule.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Perhaps ND has since backed out, but UND's participation was publicly reported by Coach Hakstol over a month ago, however, assuming the date of the tourney is Oct. 14-15, I don't know how UND could be playing in Ohio and at home against Northeastern on the same weekend. Split squad perhaps?

[Greene said he hasn't decided yet.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
What? You mean the "vodka" source might be giving bad or misleading information?!
Greene says he hasn't decided; Hakstol says it's 50/50; for now that seems a bit more reliable! -
It would be really great to see Greene back. If he is, it would be really really nice if some folks would stop their incessant whining about the penalties that he sometimes takes. Greene is a Force. Forces sometimes are penalized for being a Force. It is part of being a Force.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Exactly.
I would venture a guess that if someone started a poll, God forbid, asking whether Sioux fans wanted Greene to return or felt it best that he leave, that the results would be a landslide in favor of his return.
Just like Blais said about Commodore's departure being the difference in UND not repeating in 2001, Greene's return could likely be the difference maker in UND's drive toward a trip to Milwaukee next season.
-
As for Greene, a reliable inside source told me he has already made the decision and will not be back in Sioux green next year.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I couldn't attend Fargo Sioux Boosters today, but a friend of mine did. Here is what he told me:
Evidently, Hakstol thinks Smaby will be back and said that it is about 90/10 he returns. DH noted MS's development of late and how he is in the right place to continue that development and believes that Tampa understands that.
He wasn't as sure about Matt Greene and gave him only a 50/50 chance of returning, but from what DH said, MG hasn't yet made any decisions.
Some very, very, very general comments about recruiting, NOTHING about specific recruits. UND may be bringing in up to three more guys for next season, but will know more after the playoffs end up in Canada. There is the possibility of another commit coming soon.

Yea, Zach was out for 3 or 4 games. Never found out why.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
He missed a few games following the removal of his wisdom teeth.

"" The other factor to remember is Moreland. FM Jets don't have him on their webpage, but I'm told he has been doing well there?""
I personal wouldnt say consider Moreland. In the FM recent playoff games, they swetp the Blizzards 3-0. According to their website..www.fmjets.com, Moreland didnt play in any of those games. There biggest player recently has been Brent Olson, hes committed to the AirForce. Throughout there regular season, Phil Fox & Chris Myhro were there togo guys, now along is Brent Olson. According to their website to, they have 5 players leaving to play DI after this season.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Moreland broke his thumb about a month or so ago on a Jets swing through Montana. I believe he underwent surgery to repair the broken bone(s).
Of the 5 players that have already signed, at least 3 are going to the Atlantic Hockey Association, which isn't exactly a powerhouse (Canisius tied for second in the league last year; Mercyhurst gave BC a run before the Eagles were smoked by the Sioux during the regionals):
Quinnipiac 34
Canisius 31
Mercyhurst 31
Holy Cross 29
Sacred Heart 27
Connecticut 22
Bentley 17
Army 13
American Int'l 12

Book it.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Book what?
Was there a prediction that I missed?
-
most impressions of Hardwick came from the few times I saw him live over a year ago.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I am guessing that your opinion would be different if you had the opportunity to see him play this year. He was a much different player from the year before.
If UND loses either one or both Matt's, they may need all three of the players you listed!
-
The AHL All-Rookie team was announced and Bochenski, Vanek and Rene Bourque were the forwards.

[You're grounded for a month, Junior!
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Please tell me that means you are taking his computer away!

I was saying I missed ya! In a non-gay way, of course.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Don't kid yourself, MM. When I met you on Thursday, I think the first thing you said to me after nice to meet you is, "have you seen PCM, I already miss him and I just got here"
-
I thought this would be a good place to track what this year's seniors do now that they have finished their college careers (the end of the season is just too fresh to put the info in the former players thread, imo).
I heard this afternoon that Genoway flew out earlier today to play a few games with Hartford of the AHL (Rangers affiliate). If true, I wish him well.
-
Hardwick is still available, but could probably use a year in the Juniors. Ammerman does not seem to be gathering much interest at this point. Any top notch Canadian D-men still out there?
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
As reported earlier on this site by someone who had spoken with a Hardwick family member, there is a good chance KH will don the green and white.
As for Ammerman, he visited Ohio State and Nebraska-Omaha - evidently, both visits went well and UNO has made a scholarship offer. I don't think it is that Ammerman isn't garnering interest, I believe it is that he may be waiting for one school in particular to show interest.

Kaip's status is still up in the air. (On a related note, of the 2006 recruits Vandevelde is a left and Oshie a right.)
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Although I agree that his status is up in the air and there probably remains some medical uncertainty, word from one sioux hockey parent that I spent some time with in Columbus is that Kaip will play next season.

If you see someone out with a SiouxSports.com sweatshirt, harass me and I'll buy you a beer.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Because of this great forum and site, I think the Sioux fans that encounter you should buy you a beer - I know I will if I see you.
btw, are there really SiouxSports.com sweatshirts? If so, very cool!

Favorite goals of 2004-05
in Men's Hockey
Posted
I was thinking back to some of the great goals scored this year by the Sioux and was curious if others felt the same or had others in mind that were more memorable.
Some of my favorites:
Andy Schneider's end-to-end rush and goal against Manitoba (I know just an x game, but still a nice goal).
Mike Prpich's individual effort in Duluth walking around d-man, getting the goalie down and out of the crease and before flipping it into the net.
Rory McMahon's goal off the faceoff against Duluth in the playoffs. (my second favorite goal of the year).
Erik Fabian's first goal in the Frozen Four when he lifted Stevens stick and slid the puck past Briggs.
Kyle Radke's slapshot from the blueline off the draw against BSU and Matt Greene's wrister from the blueline against UMN in the Final Five.
Drew Stafford scoring USA's first goal against Russia on Xmas Day, which about blew the roof off the building. (I admit, not a UND goal, but still Sioux-related)
and of course --->
Spirko undressing Harrington and Briggs on the same play in the Final Five.
Of course there are others worth mentioning, but these stick out in my mind.
