After listening and watching Radke play the last couple of weeks - does anyone think he will see any playing time once the 3 WJ guys return? Especially with Foyt becoming a goal scoring pheeenom?

This would be a great time for our newest offensive defenseman, Bina, to snap another goal in to continue his onslaught!!

I just caught part of the break interviews, The Rug couldn't stop with the, "we're down FIVE GUYS" excuses. Boostrum said something about being down to 8 forwards. Did someone get hurt in the first? I am finishing work and had the game muted. It's almost as if they are already starting excuses for their second half slump. Wouldn't that be nice!!

AMEN!! I knew you of all people would be with me on the TV rant. The other thing that chaps me is when you check the grid, the listing says "game to be announced". A guy gets a little pucker thinking maaaaaybe it will The Fighting Sioux....NOPE! It's Woogie and THE Rug bad mouthing whoever the goofs are playing tonight. Just drives me nuts!! You would think from a pure marketing aspect they are going to get a lot more viewers if they have another, different hockey game on in MN & NoDak instead of soccer or women's pumpkin pushin'. But what do I know, I'm sitting in my basement watching hockey, listening to hockey and typing about hockey while drinking beer. I swear, I REALLY am married, to a woman.

And for those of us in the belly of the beast(s) - we have to put up with all the wall to wall goofer puck coverage. And now that they have fired ALL of the other major sports coaches, they are lovin' the goofer skaters even more. Not sure if anyone else has the Fox College Sports package of channels, but they really suck too. I don't know how many weekends I have gone looking, hoping, for a Sioux hockey game only to see in the guide a women's pumpkin ball game or a HIGH SCHOOL soccer game. WTF??? It's good for coverage of 2 series, the goofs (already get it with regular Fox channel) and Wisco. There is some value in seeing some of the East Coast schools play, and tonight it will be nice to watch the Wisco Menver (one of my single buddies moved out there & said it's a complete sausage fest, 5 guys for every chick, hence the new name) later on tonight. But man, they waste a LOT of good hockey when they don't cover games like our's tonight. Just a rant while we wait.

I agree with the "traditionalists", the hockey sweater is not meant to be messed with like some goofy basketball tanktop. There is one aspect to sports that keeps all of us coming back time and again - nostalgia. Look around competitive sports, any level, any sport. Which are the teams with the most loyal fan bases

Or maybe this: http://www.tradershockey.com/ She should be on the front page with a big deer.

I think this is the link you were looking for: http://www.ajhl.ab.ca/leagues/rosters_prof...59919&pos=G It would be difficult to focus on the puck when you skate in looking at that.

You got me all excited Goon, not good. I just checked the listings for the Fox College Sports channels, you won't believe this. WOMENS basketball, some bowl preview and a breakdown of the BCS. What a waste of good hockey. You can catch the Denver Mercyhurst game at 8:30, but with so much quality hockey wasted, it just doesn't seem exciting. Those listings were for Maple Grove digital service, maybe the good folks in NoDak have more sense and pick up the hockey instead, but down here we get chick pumpkin pushin'. Looks like the internet will the only way I see a game this weekend.

GREAT call Siouxdonyms!! Clear as a bell! Thanks for the great tip!!

What the hell kind of fan are YOU?!?! "Demise of the program"? You're one hell of a hockey authority. Not that many of the rest of this on this board are "experts" (Dags, PCM, a couple more are the exceptions) waiting for our NHL scouting job to come along, but we sure as hell don't throw the boys overboard with this kind of pansy ass wimpiness. We haven't "held the basement" for the past 3 years and we won't the next 3. WE ARE YOUNG!!! It takes time, they will come together, like they did the last 2 years. We also play in the best conference in the country, and that's a good thing, it will make our guys mature faster. If you're going to jump, then jump and leave the rest of us that are willing to stick by our team alone. Lucky guys like you weren't on the Lewis & Clark expedition, they would have never left the cabin.

Is there any talk about the 2 point leaders from Shattuck, Derrik Stepan and Brock Montpetit? I'm too lazy to go back through 103 pages and we've re-hashed the history of past Sioux goalies enough. Let's get back to the prospects. Reason I ask about Stepan/Montpetit, a co-worker is a coach here in the St. Louis Park public system and said he over heard at a tournament this past weekend that the Sioux had landed ANOTHER Shattuck scoring machine. Naturally I puckered at the thought it was little Toews, but he said it wasn't him but it was Shattuck's current leading scorer. Looking at the stat sheet as of 12/4 on the official Shattuck site and those two are tied at 36 points, but clearly Montpetit is the leading scorer with 23 G to Stepan's 16 G. He might be confused, but this guy is a Goof season ticket holder and has sent kids to D I so I'm thinking there's probably a grain of truth to this rumor. Any thoughts or insights from our "inside sources"?? If they are both signed and I missed it, forgive me, I have small kids and don't get to read here as much as I should.

Next weekend will be the first time in over a year that I get to use my season tickets, a PERFECT weekend for a come back sweep at home. Get Oshie and Toews a couple of goals a each, maybe a hatty, get Lammy back between the posts and lots of freshman scoring! Plus, it will be my 2 yr old's first game, she already knows to say, "GO SIOUX!!" every time she sees the logo and will be wearing her brand new jersey. I think the timing and the intensity will be perfect for the boys. Like it has been said before, it's only November. I would rather struggle and learn now and peak at the right time. How many times have we watched WCHA teams lose 1 or 2 games in all of November and December, and then slide miserably in Feb. & March? And I think we need to remember we are still a pretty young team and we are replacing a lot of scoring and locker room leadership. Let them get comfortable on their lines, take the lumps and start coming together in the middle of January for big finish on their way to St. Louis.

Here, let us help. We didn't have enough shots on goal, but we made up for it by not playing defense or hustling until the last 1:24.

For the love of god!! This guy is standing on his head!!

Here we go!! Bang! Bang!

I thought so too. Let's see if he can get Shep next!!

Sheppard gets the assist.

Good advice, should have known better! I'm going to do the same.

my feed just froze up and she is left in a rather, well, compromising facial position. anyone else lose the feed?

And just like that, the typical Goofer dip$&it shows his true colors. You are a waste of time and flesh. I would hope that the admin would ban you for that kind of unbelievable comment.

Hey, how's Tyler Hirsch these days?

Goofs game is over and here come the trolls. Just so typical.

I'm going to take back what I said about the announcer. How about the call, "tick, tack, toe and duncan has a goal!!" I don't care who are, that's funny!!

finley gave him the damn feed!!
