Might not have a rink to play in, but yeah, he's got a job........

Yeah, I thought it was a done deal.

Jeeze man, step back from the ledge..........

I know I'll get killed for this, but... I watched Sat's game on the tube, so my view might be completely skewed, but I think both JPL and Marto laid eggs with their performances. And when is the last time anyone recalls a team getting so many 3-on-1s against a Fighting Sioux squad? Lots of breakdowns on defense. Finally, CC plugged up the middle and didn't allow the Sioux any passing room. Get used to that.

Wait 'til Perp finds out about this!

Brian Lee is Binghamton's second-leading scorer through the team's first eight games: 1g 8a 9 pts +3 0PIM Kid must be getting some playing time, he's also second in shots attempted, at 21.

Alas. A whimper. Not a bang.

Sioux-cia will be happy to her herself referred to as "hot".

redwing? please?

Frattin looking off the reigning Hobey Baker award winner and rifling a shot of his own says everything necessary about the kid. He's got a set.

^ Jeeze Triouxper... why d'ya have to go all good sportsman on us?

NM (originally an obscure Nathaniel Hawthorne reference)

While I don't dispute the main points in your post, this statement is patently false. I have attended sporting events as Chapman's guest. I can assure you he is a big sports fan. All sports. He is also, among other things, a very cheerful, jovial man who has become a friendly public face for NDSU. That might be the most important criteria UND should seek in its hiring process.

Wow.

Two someone elses: Harmeson and Martinsen. That's messy.

Cary Eades spoke at the Fargo Sioux Boosters luncheon today and said (probably violating all sorts of HIPPA rules) that Michael Forney is way behind where the team wants him in terms of development because of the shoulder injury and surgery. He said Forney is working very hard in practice, but might be a little gun shy as to re-injuring the shoulder. Other interesting tidbits from the luncheon: Eades also called Brent Davidson a "walk-on project". He said the other five freshmen will all get significant playing time. He noted Aaron Walski has worked himself into a position where he is challenging Grieco for the #2 goalie position. Grieco, Eades said, was brought in a year ahead of when the coaches projected him, and they recognize he is still very young. I don't know if it was because he was in Fargo or not, but Eades was highly complimentary of Walski's work ethic and the strides he has made in his craft.

State has but six freshmen on its roster, so youth isn't a factor. One has to remember that this team last year barely made the NCAA tourney after finishing 4th in their own league and getting trounced in the CCHA playoffs at Joe Louis. State's championship is as clear an example of a good team riding a really hot goaltenders through a single-elimination tournament. As long as Lerg is between the pipes for State, the Sioux will have to be sharp to beat them. If he has an off night, the Sioux should walk over the Spartans.

I hope you meant "doze". Otherwise, I'd hate to think of how to clean up 11,000 used hypodermic needles after the game!

My pick(s) for play of the game:

My surprise was at Niskanen's sticking with the big club. Although there are four or five regulars on the IR list, so his stay in the NHL might be short.

^ That's a surprise to me.

I need to correct that... I took last Wednesday off.

No, I don't think any pizza parlors would buy anything from me

Let's put this on a level you might understand: You buy your pizza dough from Larry, the salesman for Acme Pizza Dough Co. You really like the dough; it makes a good pie and your customers like the crust a lot. You think Larry is a decent guy, but he's not the reason you buy your dough from Acme. You'd buy Acme dough even if Larry was fired. But you hear from the Allied Pizza Sauce salesman, Phil, that Larry is going to get fired. So the next time you see Larry, you mention what you've heard, so he can get his ducks in a row, or whatever he decides to do with this "information". Does the fact that you told Larry that you heard he was going to be canned in any way compromise
