No offesnse but thats the dumbest excuse I've ever heard ever. Period.

Sioux got penalties for playing rough, WCHA hockey. BC was the better team tonight though, evidence is in the shots.

Found this in the USCHO forums, I LIKE IT!! LOL 1 Minnesota 2 Notre Dame 3 St. Cloud State 4 North Dakota 5 New Hampshire 6 Boston College 7 Clarkson 8 Michigan 9 Boston University 10 Wisconsin 11 Denver 12 Michigan State 13 Colorado College 14 Michigan Tech 15 AFA 16 UAH Grand Rapids Minnesota vs UAH Michigan vs. BU Rochester Notre Dame vs Michigan Tech Clarkson vs Wisconsin Denver St Cloud State vs Air Force BC vs Denver Manchester North Dakota vs CC UNH vs Michigan St

Is Brian Becker still playing at Air Force? Former Spud connection there (and we know how they play against the Gophers--GO LEE GO!!).

IMO, they should simply do something like this: West Regional: Air Force vs. Minnesota Michigan State vs. Boston University Midwest Regional: Alabama-Huntsville vs. Notre Dame North Dakota vs. Michigan East Regional: Maine vs. Clarkson Massachusetts vs. St. Cloud Northeast Regional: Miami vs. New Hampshire St. Lawrence vs. Boston College This would solve their attendance concerns in Grand Rapids and would also avoid having any major rivalry games in any brackets (I don't consider ND vs. Michigan a rivalry because the CCHA is terrible).

From what they have said in the USCHO articles they just try to avoid the first round matchups. Which actually results in UND being moved into the Gopher's bracket to replace Michigan state.

Best game of the year IMO. Could have gone to either team. Thought the Gophers finally took it to the Sioux and played physical hockey for once. Being on the smaller ice really helped the Goph's keep track of the DOT line. The fact that they didn't give up a 5-5 goal really makes me think (and hope) that they've got their act together in their own zone. The powerplay was scary bad, cudos to UND to be able to kill off all 8 power plays given to the Gophers, very impressive effort from the entire UND bench. Its a sham that UND and Minnesota will end up in the same regional. Road trip to Denver anyone? (From USCHO) West Regional: Air Force vs. Minnesota North Dakota vs. Michigan Midwest Regional: Alabama-Huntsville vs. Notre Dame Michigan State vs. Boston University East Regional: Maine vs. Clarkson Massachusetts vs. St. Cloud Northeast Regional: Miami vs. New Hampshire St. Lawrence vs. Boston College Bina is a goon, BTW.

I TOLD YOU BINA RIDES THE SHORT BUS BUT NOBODY LISTENED!!!!! :lol

Tough loss for the Sioux, I was certain they were going to come back after the shorty late in the third. LETS GO MAINE!!!

I've glad thats your opinion of a person you've never met and know nothing about. Personally, I couldn't care less about what you think.

I prefer the "you don't play hockey well" chant over the s##k chant, I think its more original. Also I'm personally not a WPoS fan either.

I said in my first post that it was clearly the wrong decision to bring it. EVERYONE uses bad judgement at one point in their life.

Turd because of what? Insensitive to one person who has fully recovered from their injury? How about insensitivity to the Sioux Nation? I'm sure there are a few people who are angry about your team's nick name. You guys are a bunch of hypocrites.

The disgraces are the corpie fans who sit on their hands the whole game. Its a rivalry folks. I'm sorry I hurt 18 people's feelings when they saw the sign and over-reacted. If you go to Gopher games then I'll be there, season ticket holder and all. I'll probably make my way up to the Ralph for a game or two before the year is over also. I think the only disgrace of the night was the UND hockey team.

To the question why, just trying to be clever. I wouldn't have even thought about doing anything like this had he been permenantly hurt. Like I said, I was under the understanding that he had made a full recovery. That and the marker fumes from the first sign didn't help any. I'm also not implying that Robbie is a wuss. Its sarcasm folks. The Souix players came and said, paraphrasing here, do you even know what happened to Robbie? Obiously I know. Not sure who they were, not a big deal though. LGS, if you would have come to get it I probably would have given it to you. I'm not out to start any fights. Heck, I would guess that more than half of the people who saw the sign had no idea what it was about.

Hearing about this thread I've decided to sign up and just say 'Hi.' So, everyone is wonder why anyone is so retarded to make a sign that reads "Bina rides the short bus" eh? Driving to the game from Fargo/Moorhead my friend and I were talking about players. I asked whats up with Bina lately, friend said he wasn't sure what he was up to but he knew he understood that Bina had been cleared to play for this season. I'm glad (from what I understand) he's made a full recovery from that time. Getting closer into Minneapolis I suggested we bring signs to the game. The first one, which no one has talked about, was the "Brian Lee hate club." A spin-off of the "Brian Lee fan club" posters at the Ralph durring the world juniors. Neither of us could think up a good second sign. 'Bina is a wuss' was suggested but just not good enough. Too direct, not creative. As we are talking about this we just happened to pass, believe it or not, a short school bus. 2+2=supid in this case. "Bina rides the short bus" is born. Again, this is under the impression that he is healthy and able to play this season, which I still believe to be true. We get to the game almost an hour before. Signs were rolled up when we went through the ticket/security place. Building was empty at that point (because most of the gopher student fans are there as a social visit and don't care about the game sadly). Players come out for warm-up. I KNOW Lee looked up and read the signs, looked like he laughed. Pointed them out to a couple of team mates. About 10 minutes after first showing the sign (and still more than 30 minutes before the game was to start) two Souix players came down and took the Bina one away. Obiously they were jerks about it but thats understandable. I should also say that two security guys were coming down at the same time, just from the other side. Did we get kicked out? No. Looking back do I think we crossed the line? Yes, wouldn't bring a sign like that again. Questions?
