I think it's about timely saves now. It's key for both goalies. Sioux can't get down 3-0, and MN really doesn't want to give up a goal any time soon and let the Sioux get any momentum. Who is going to let in the untimely goal?

Benched goalie, yes. Like you said, this one is different.

I think I draw the line short of that, myself.

It was amazing, but that is exactly what happened. The guy stood on his head in the first period. The Sioux probably could have put 2-3 goals up. Then the gates opened.

Look, it's probably too late to save anything but I've got NO problem with this effort. My perspective, admittedly pretty naive about the law and legal process. It's been said that the State Board is independant and cannot be forced to do something by legislation. That may be, but if there is a law, could there not be pressure put upon the State Board to act in a way that is consistent with the law? (Whatever that may be) Could that not lead to more official pressure put to bear against the Standing Rock council to put the issue to a vote? Now, admittedly, I think the biggest obstacle is the agreement with the NCAA. No denying the NCAA got what it wanted and the deadline has passed. I can't imagine there's a very big chance anything will affect them, so this is probably going to be a real sticking point. But, there is new leadership at the NCAA, so maybe there's a chance if both tribes suddenly came forward with there consent, ND would show the state law backing the nickname, etc etc, that the NCAA might look harder at acquiescing even after the deadline has passed? As for concerns that this legislation is going to harm UND in the long run, I just don't know. I cannot imagine that if it came to that, that the same legislators would stick with this legislation and make UND suffer. I don't buy that. It would get dropped, or ignored. I'm not concerned about those ramifications. It's past time for the ND government to weigh in, IF they were ever going to, but for me I don't see a real downside at this time. As long as it's a serious effort and not just grandstanding. I'm happy to see it play out.

I was waiting for this. Who cares who thinks who is good and who is isn't. Don't demand respect. Earn it.

I think we'll see a different game tonight. The Sioux got a lot of bounces last night. If I recall on the TV broadcast the Sioux were getting outshot by quite a bit in the 2nd period last night but scored on their first 3 shots or something like that. I thought in large parts of the 2nd and most of the 3rd Robert Morris was playing a fairly good game. Good goaltending and good bounces for the Sioux made it a blowout. Do I think the Sioux were lucky? No. They had superior talent and they played well. But I don't think that was an 8-0 mismatch either.

This could spawn a whole list of Chuck Norrisism's. I'll start: Robert Morris is so good he assists on his own goals.

Actually, it makes things very clear...

Warriors of the North. A little long, but it's one of the best in terms of embodying the image we're (or at least I'm) looking for. I could live with this. It could be shortened to Northern Warriors and be almost as effective.

Luke says the Prodigal Son was the younger.

That's exactly the complaint of the brother of the Prodigal Son. Which, of course, does not mean the Prodigal Son should have won the Hobey. He had incredible linemates.

That's a great story about an incredible kid. The world needs more people like him and his family.

Sarcasm alert, mikejm. You need to read up a few posts.

I wonder if we'll find out that Genoway was one of the guys that was nicked up this past weekend. Hak mentioned some guys may not play because they were dinged, but other than the 2 we knew about, everyone appeared to play. Could be. I thought Genoway was gutty from what I saw on Friday night. He was perfect, but he saved at least one goal and made some other very good plays. I know he had a turnover yesterday as well, but if he's one of the guys dinged up I'll give him a pass. I don't disagree with you entirely. Chay hasn't always been perfect on D, but what he brings offensively from his position more than offsets the rest, IMO.

What station is that? I'm in Mpls and Comcast channel 13 has dancing nutcrackers on it. TPTLF I think.

My opinion I hate the spelling thing because if I hear it at a hockey game it means I'm already pissed off. As I had great times going to the Barn and watching Gopher BB back in the '90's when the Barn was rocking I will say in that context I enjoyed the thing. It's all about your perspective. IMO it's no different than the "all MN" thing with the hockey team. Of course, that no longer applies but going back to when it did....I totally get it. And if MN could win with all MN kids I think they should do it, and I think they should rub it in to everyone's face when they do. Just the way the we should, if it was possible for UND to win at hockey with all ND kids. Embrace it, and laud it. It's not possible, and that's ok too. But if it was, that would be my take.

Yeah, but we go the heck out of there!

Chuck, come on. There's always been room for one more recruit under Eaves...

If the Mankato goalie "cooks" up another 96-97 save % weekend it will be tough to sweep. Let see if he/they are in a groove or if that was a finely timed peak to his career.

Agreed, I still like "Thunder Gods"

Did I hear correctly 50 shots and only 1 goal? Yikes. Hope that's an anomaly.

It's the 2nd wave, just like when the websites and forums came along. Thanks Jim!

Absolutely agree. it makes no sense that if that team scores again that it negates the need to review the previous question. I would find this surprising. There's no accounting for the events that could have followed the original goal. There could be hurricanes in China as a result. Seems like they would have to turn the clock back...

You can't replace a guy like Gregoire, but as is the saying, if someone goes down it opens up an opportunity for someone else. There are some guys who aren't playing much, or aren't playing roles they hoped to be in, this gives some guys a Pipp chance. Or would that be a Gehrig?
