WiSioux

I saw Bishop around campus all through finals week

Further into the Fightingsioux.com article we get a reasoning for the pregame center ice incident:

Seriously??? haha! And what about a HE player and ref getting in a fight???

From Fightingsioux.com just some quotes from Phil in their article: Obviously blaming the refs isn't going to get you very far... (although I do have a universal hate for referees... sorry to those of you that may be refs). But I just thought that it was interesting to get the goalie's perspective...

Phil was very into the whole game... he had a very interesting game to say the least. Some of the things that I noticed: I thought that Phil was generally last off after warm ups when he started... however, I saw about ten players still on the ice and he was no where to be found... so I thought that was a little weird. During introductions, not sure if I just don't play attention, but he was standing in the goal before his name got called. And then when he skated out in his spotlight, they put the wrong picture on the scoreboard and it was actually Brittany Kirkham, one of the women's players. There were a few times when Phil had the puck covered that UAA players were slashing at his glove, but I also saw him get up one or two times and basically cross checked the player right back. He made some great saves, even in overtime when he didn't have his stick. As for his actions at the end of the game.... nothing in particular seemed to set him off. I saw him talking to the ref like he wanted to speak with him after the game, and so I watched when he was hanging around center ice. As Stromer mentioned, it seemed like it was directed at the UAA goalie, Lawson. Lawson's helmet came off three or four times, he got taken out two or three times... and complained (I mean talked) to the ref a lot...

a team that swept us with Grieco in net...

Although he did get a haircut... so that's a plus!

Well aren't you just the spelling police... fixed!

I thought it was aimed at the ref... but after discussing it with my suitemates, we've decided that it was aimed at the UAA goalie.... He skated out to center ice area, puts his stick between his legs, and starts rubbing his blocker hand up and down it like he's masterbating... It was pretty funny, but I have a feeling if Hak saw it, he won't be pleased... although almost everyone was off the ice, so I'm thinking he didn't see it...

I'm trying to figure out how to phrase it so that it might come out a little less inappropriate...

Anyone see Phil's actions AFTER the game??? If you thought throwing the puck on the ground after making a stop was bad... you didn't see the half of it!

I see that #9 for SSM, Derek is already committed to Wisconsin... bummer, he was a lot of fun to watch. All over the ice, on the power play, and the penalty kill, seemed to play well in both ends. I hope to catch some games after class tomorrow... so we'll see if I pick up on anyone else looking good.

I was at both games tonight on the Main Rink. The Little Cesear's team from Detroit wasn't very impressive in the first period, but then scored four goals in about three minutes at the end of the second and ended up winning 5-1 or 5-2. The SSM/WI game was pretty entertaining. A lot of whistles, mainly icing and offsides. SSM outshot WI 45ish to about 17. Nice shootout goal by D. Toews. For SSM, I liked #9 a lot, Leah will have to help me with the names as she has the program. And #16, the one mentioned by AZ was pretty good. Blood is definitly bigger than the rest of the team! Murray seems like he'll be one heck of a player, and I wish we had him on our team... lots of hussle! But I'm freezing, tired, and have class in the morning... if I remember anything else, I'll add it later

I saw part of the UAA team in the Union today...

ahhh... thanks... guess I was only half paying attention

Didn't we get a goalie for 2008-2009? EDIT: Brad Eidsness... he's coming after Phil graduates, right?

Wow... I didn't think of this until I read it on fightingsioux.com, but it's amazingly true! "In the dying minutes of the second period, UND sophomore defenseman Joe Finley attempted to backhand the puck out of his own zone and lifted it directly into the center ice scoreboard. That Finley hit the scoreboard proved to be prophetic, because that

Maybe school isn't starting for them?

I think we had double their shots... 30 something to like 19...

Joe Finley with the game winning goal... don't think we'll be hearing that too many more times! Haha... Good game boys! Now let's sweep UAA

Seattle is winning...

Make that 21-20... extra point pending... correction, going for two Seattle up 21-20

Let's keep with the first of the season goals and F names... Forney's up next!

I'm thinking it's about time for Duncan to score....

1-1 in the second
