I know deflections used to count. I'm just not sure I like the change to trying to score by deflecting one in with your skate. I think it could be tough to tell if a deliberate "kicking" motion is used, or whether the player was just getting their foot in position to deflect the puck. For instance, with one of the example videos used I still think it's open to interpretation if the puck was simply redirected or kicked in. I guess maybe I need to see an example of what they would view "kicked in". Maybe that would end up being SO obvious as to render my concern moot.

I still don't know if I like the skate rule. I would think it will be tough at times to know if the puck was redirected off a skate or if it was kicked in. It's one thing if it was a lucky bounce, but I just don't know about allowing the intentional redirection with the foot.

Faxing my app back this afternoon!!!

I'm very much hoping to at least on Friday night. I'd say a good chance but will decide tomorrow.

Greg Johnson fell in my Sioux hockey dark ages. I moved from GF and without the internet it was difficult to stay up on what was going on. I did get to a couple of games where he played, but without knowing much about who was who, really didn't realize what I was watching. I feel like I missed out.

We can take a shot your way any time we want on our board. If your university wants to be hypocritically holier than thou, be prepared to get some back. It happens to be a sensitive time around here.

That's beautiful reading.

That's one thing I love about hunting ND, a chance at some sharptails. I love eating them.

Who's going to shoot 'em for me? Yes, I'm from MN. Our cost/hunting hour is lower here.

Thanks for the info. I have the standard cable package. When I called I found I would need to upgrade to the digital cable package first, which would add about $15/mo, then the Sports Pack for another $5/mo. I'm bummed, but that's the way it goes. Fortunately I have Senser's to fall back on. Thought I'd post this for anyone else who had the same curiousity I did.

Agree. I'm a game time decision. It's pheasant opener.

I, for one, would rather know something good happened. I can manage waiting until the news breaks, especially when we are told it's going to be "soon".

Really? I only saw Friday night's game on an admittedly fair-at-best computer monitor but they didn't give me too much hope.

I know we've read that Oshie might stay 3 years but it's hard to imagine/count on that. Would seem you need a contingency for that for '07 too.

I don't find it objectionable at all. First off, until Malone, it's a pretty small class, with a mix of pedigree. With Malone it's not a big class either: Marto - I think you're looking at potential there, vs a star. Trupp - definitely a top flight recruit LaPoint - a very good recruit Hamilton - transfer from AA. Malone - definitely a top flight recruit I think Malone definitely raises the curve on the class. If the Sioux are after/can get one more top flight forward it should be an excellent class.

I like "The Colbert Line".

I would think MafiaMan would have chimed with with the "Lamplighter" Line as his favorite name by now....Anyone familiar with a certain St. Paul area establishment would get that one.

Right Now = horrible hockey song = my opinion

Looks like Hakstol is still struggling to land high profile recruits.

I second that.

That is correct. He hung up the skates about a year ago. He works with Ryan Hale.

With 5 brothers I want to know where the other 3 are?

That's a great article on Matt Jones. He sounds like a quality guy. I thought this was interesting. Here he's from Chicago, plays hockey down south, and where does he buy a place? Grand Forks. I would assume his wife might be from the area, but still, it would seem a lot of people would live down south, all things considered.

I kind of dig "The Prairie Fire".
