Schmitzzz

I think this is out of the NC$$ jurisdiction. Ooopps... what am I saying? The NC$$'s jurisdiction has no bounds.

Baseball is a great game to watch alone, but it is even better watching it with someone else. The pace of the game allows for dialog... either to teach the finer points of the game to an 8 year old, or debate with your buddies if Grady should have pulled Pedro after the 7th inning. James Earl Jones speech in Field of Dreams about the enduring nature of baseball always chokes me up. Hockey and baseball are both wonderfull sports... they are just watched in completely different ways. The NBA is for hip-hop thugs... total trash.

Joe Finley won't kill you... he'll only make you wish he had.

That's Michigan State.

Anyone know the team hotel yet?

We're at the Hilton-Ballpark

And the "hit Bina again" that came out of my section at the X. Sioux fans aren't perfect either, but to come on here and offer up a complaint about Sioux fans disguised in a congrats just makes you look like a fool.

Great game by both teams to keep fighting all (most) of the way. In a game with many boneheaded moves (Hensick's 10 min major, Lammy mishandling the puck, Bina getting walked instead of taking the body, the list could go on...) I though one of the bigger blunders was made by Red when he pulled the goalie. I thought it was a bad move to pull the goalie before the face-off and before they had established possession. They were on the PP and only down by 2 goals.... not an insurmountable deficit (think UND coming back on BC in the 2001 title game down by two w/ about 4 min to play). You HAVE to establish possession first and then pull Sauer. And then not to keep him pulled after the Sioux scored the shorty is just a cue from the Coaches to the players that it's time to give up. Red's a great coach but I think he "Buckner-ed" this one big time.

Although I like the current size of the league at 10 teams, BSU is just such a good obvious fit in the WCHA. But, as has already been discussed elsewhere, pulling them from the CHA would spell death for that league.

nope

Those bastards!

Sounds like Christmas at my in-laws.

Excuse me, but I believe you meant to say "sudo-reporter", a title which I believe PCM has grown to accept. But just don't call him a pre-madona. Nice work, as usual, Pat.

Did they forget to pay the electric bill in Denver.... looks very dark.

Oh my.

I believe I will be heading to Roseville.

Nice post DS, and I agree. Let's act like we have been there before, and not like a bunch of SCCC fans. The boys played like they are capable of playing... nothing more than that happened this weekend.

Let's quit bitching about the refs... it really makes Sioux fans look like cry babies. There were maybe a few qestionable calls last night, but let it go. The Sioux won the game. Sioux have to play a more disiplined game tonight.

A cheap shot only stings if there is some truth to it... the Sioux have one of the youngest teams in the nation.

Anyone else see yesterday's Wall Street Journal about the growing number of penalties in youth hockey (obstruction type penalties)? In the article they mention Ryan Frendewey, an 18 year old from Lake Linden, MI playing for the Marquette Electricians. In the article he says he has dreamed about playing for UND or Colorado College since he was four. The concern of these players is that with much of the game being played by special teams, they have few opportunities to impress scouts with regula 5-on-5 play.

I'll be in Roseville... let's hope they have the game on.

PM'ed you.

I purchased mine through the Alumni office when they were first made available. They may not have any left, but they should be able to tell you how to get in touch with the artist. I received a letter a while back (year ago) from the artist saying that there were still some available... I would be surprised if they are all gone. It's a great painting and wish there were more Sioux Hockey themed ones like it.
