I don't understand this. I don't recall this coming out in the media or from coaches mouths much this year.

I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night but I totally agree with you here. We need Marto right where he is. The guy I feel for is Davidson. I think the guy could play at D for the Sioux, and who knows how that will shake out next year.

Great season and like gasboy told me even before the game today, for those at the Final Five we witnessed quite a treat. This team started strong, lost one of the top few players in college hockey, sagged, rebounded and finished very strong, ended MN's season and won some hardware. It was a disappointing finish today but they had a good season for a fairly young team. I for one appreciate the season and the job these coaches did.

Saw that coming at about 6:30 tonite...

I love how Reusse likes to take digs at the gophers but whether or not Lucia really caused this is, IMO, questionable. It could be Reusse putting 2 and 2 together to get 5.

I read in the paper that the NHL is going to crack down on headshots. Blindside hits where the head is targeted, or those hits on an unsuspecting player where the head takes the brunt of the hit. Well, Wehrs saw it coming. Frattin left his feet and still deserved a major for that, but less and less do I think that was worthy of a suspension. The head was definitely not targeted.

You are exactly right. The Tribes don't owe us anything. For whatever they are invested in seeing UND keep using the name is the only reason they need to act. We supporters of using the nickname need them a whole lot more than they need us. They owe us nothing. We should be grateful for anything they do that supports the continued use of the nickname.

Have watched games at the Sensers in Bloomington and in Plymouth and IMO Bloomington is the one to go to.

You are correct, Keys is fantastic.

I don't think I've heard it the old way but I think I would like that.

Well, your posts are classics, and always optimistic! And who can be down when they see the hat? After you, my friend.

Perhaps all of Rick's examples weren't the best, because there is a difference between not being optimistic and actually calling for the coach to go. I would bet even Rick would agree with that. I think Rick's larger point is spot on. For those who participated in thrashing Hak and beginning the speculation of who a better coach would be, they're probably feeling pretty foolish right now. They're certainly looking it. For those who lacked optimism, well, the late season has certainly provided reason for optimism. I, for one, lacked optimism but never gave up hope. I certainly didn't think the season was a sign that it was time for a new coach. In fact, one reason I had hope was because of our coaching staff.

That's encouraging. Hopefully the names check out.

We provided advice on how to play the game. Actually, just wanted to watch from a different vantage point.

I, for one, am relieved.

Same here, always root for UMD.

Thanks for trying again. It was nice to meet you.

already wrong!!!

The guy with the white t shirt and green jacket was hilarious. That was pretty close to us. (We're in photo 16, I'm standing with the green geometric logo jersey, gasboy with the white jersey and our other buddy in the black sitting to my right).

YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP!

Last year was really not the most enjoyable tournament. The only less enjoyable was 2002? when the Sioux completely missed it.

The boony hat?

let's not have "up" follow "throw" this year, ok? We're not bringing umbrellas.
