I never have liked Washington, DC

I don't know... that sound I hear might be a bus warming up...

You have really got to get some priorities straightened out there, pal...

Before we start sewing banners to hang in The Ralph, one needs to remember last night's game was Manitoba's third in as many nights. Also, the Sioux have pretty much had target practice on the Bison(s) goalie the last few years: 07 the shots were 42-13; 06 37-20; and 05 49-18. The last "real" game Manitoba put up was in 04 when the Sioux outshot the Bison(s) just 24-19 while winning 8-3. I watched on television, so I'm sure I missed a lot of nuances in performance, but there were plenty of encouraging signs. It is early, though, and one has to consider the competition. BU will be a better indication of this team's talent.

You've got to move on.

^Yeah, those Wall Street jobs are looking pretty good about now, huh?

fixed your post for you.

These roster entries almost brought a tear to my eye... 4 Fienhage, Corey D 6-3 214 24 Blood, Ben D 6-4 212 I'm hoping these young men can throw some serious smack around

I am soooooo happy that The Ralph continues to improve my shopping experience...

^If the 15-pound thing is accurate, I wonder how Evan's speed will be affected. That seems like a lot of weight gained on a not-too-big frame. I'd hate to see his quickness negatively impacted in the name of adding strength. The Sioux need to ramp up their team speed, and I hoped that Trupp was the new prototype forward. I am tired of the cycling, grinding offense that Hak seems to favor. I want some speed merchants out there who will wear down the opposing defense and start lighting the lamp like the days of old.

Mine showed... finally!

Aside from the Badgers utilizing a trap or LW Lock, how is this different than UND's philosophy?

Here ya go!

I cast my vote for Kentucky. But only if they bring their poster girl!

^Somehow, the image of Goon sitting there watching a bunch of large white stallions high-step around an arena is unsettling. Troubling, even.

I was told he has a special appreciation for the Lippizzaner Stallions.

Wait. What?

I've been led to believe the waiting list for hockey season tickets is nonexistent.

Is UND's coverage via FSSN really all that impressive? Even though all home games are televised, just how many (non-fanatic) homes can that signal be seen in? Not including FTA satellite installations, I'm talking about. For UND's exposure to rival that of the UMTC, their games need to be available on something akin to a regional FoxSports channel. Short of that we're talking apples and oranges.

So build a "small fast" team and say to heck with the WCHA. We don't need no stinkin' McNaughton Cups! We don't need no stinkin' Broadmore Trophy. Just play good enough in the conference to be one of the top 16 PairWise at the end of the year and then go on a scoring rampage in the NCAAs when a wide-open game is rewarded. (And I'm only half joking...)

And the last player Gabby tried hard to get to the Wild really helped, huh? Maybe it is time for Marion Gaborik to put the team on his back and carry them to the promised land, instead of whining for one of his buddies to come and shoulder the load. (BTW, I feel terrible about contributing to the off-topic direction of this thread...)

These two sentences are amazing. They also point out just how disparate is the college hockey universe.

Allow to me help out here:

I'm going with Jay-son

I know two families who spell their surname this way. One pronounces it Greg-Wah; the other Greg-O-Re (The funny thing is, they are related!)
