You are a kind, generous person. I'll bet the glass is never half-empty in your world. I can think a several adjectives to describe the Sioux power play, and disorganized isn't in the top fifteen or twenty.

On the other hand, you will be "blessed" with Mike Eaves' presence in your barn from time to time, something I can't imagine too many people would be happy with.

You have just attained hero status in my pantheon.

Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

Somebody's got to help me with these posts.

IIRC every player entering the NHL after (date?) must wear a half-shield. It is the same way helmets were made mandatory; they grand-fathered in old geezers. Back to the OT: I'm sort of surprised this kind of thing doesn't happen more often; I've watched hockey since the early 70s and seen only the Trotter tendon and this. Thank God for little miracles.

Getting?? They were already limited. Now it is worse. I'll be pilloried for this, but I'm starting to feel sorry for the Gophers. They were thin with early departures, their incoming freshmen haven't panned out as well as they were predicted to (but man, you cna't expect too much from most freshmen in the WCHA), and now the injury bug has set in big time.

That is mean. Funny. But mean.

No, that honor is awarded in perpetuity to the University of Michigan. UND will have to settle for second.

There are in all likelihood a number of Purpurs reading this message board!!!!

TMI Oxbow.

Who are three people who've never been in my kitchen?

I need you to swing by my office and clean my computer screen. We need to develop an acronym for posts which "May Cause Soda Spewing" but MCSS doesn't really cut it.

So this is like Jeopardy? Um, who are two Gopher hockey players and my eighth-grade math teacher's daughter?

^To be fair, one should point out there are eleven other 2004 first round picks who've yet to score a point in the NHL. And, again in fairness, it should be noted that three of those scoreless picks are goaltenders. Finally

1. You're welcome; and 2. I'm only in charge of the "traitor/trader" misuse; everybody around here has been assigned different tasks.

Traitors The word is "traitors". Traders are people who are involved in the exchange of something for something else; usually of value. [/rant]

Peltier said he would like to see North Dakota again in the playoffs.

I like INCH's take a whole lot better. Although it does note that UND gets the quto-bid by winning the Final 5. I hope we don't have to accomplish that to get a #1 seed. And CC and DU both in the Springs regional seems like a blatant attempt to build attendance.

^ cut by a skate blade. It happened right in front of me. It was one of the scariest things I've ever seen occur on the ice.

A bracket with Mankato and Duluth but no Gophers!?!?!?!? When's the last time you've seen that? They'll be installing tall railings around every window sill more than two stories above the street in Minneapolis if this comes to pass.

Holy Cow....

Hakstol expects to monitor the game thread here at SiouxSports and send text messages to Eades to correct errors as he "sees" them.

By definition, they are not losers. It was a little tiring though, to listen to Mercury talk about living in "Perfectville" or whatevertheheck he called it. I'd much rather listen to Don Shula, Tsonka et al talk about having a perfect season than Belichek and Randy Moss. Those are real tools.

I'm afraid it is far too late for that to be an issue. Ask any of my fans.
