Was this late but still expected? If not, ouch.

All those ideas sound neat to me, but it would be REALLY cool if they could work knife throwing in there somehow.

That's true, but then there are guys like ZPar, who was small, not the fastest skater, and with a good not not great shot. But he knew the game inside and out and had an on-ice intelligence that was outstanding. A lot of that no doubt came from his living hockey from birth and getting the best coaching along the way. And passion.

I agree. Most of those guys are very kind in talking about their days in GF. But they came from home communities that deserve to celebrate the cup with the players and their families.

Maybe it will put a bit of a chip on his shoulder--something to prove. It does that with some players.

My cousin, Huck Seed, who won it sometime in the 90s, has grandparent roots in Bottineau and Minot, but I'm not sure Huck ever set foot in GF.

It's all in fun at a boring time of year, hockey-wise. I post mistakes all the time.

Imaginary Chicago

Where is Chicago University?

And they need to play a full 60 minutes.

Having one or two players with elite puck possession skills can make such a difference--one that creates opportunities for everyone on the ice, including the four-year guys.

I think Tim was at his absolute best when there were two Tims at the mike.

What I find surprising is that our coaches, with all their experience, haven't been trying to get plenty of players who can handle the puck, pass accurately, and score.

And another reason to dump Berry. Just sayin.

So, will Osh bring the cup to GF?

My old hockey coach had a big arse, and he would say you can't drive a spike with a tack hammer. Teachers and coaches would not say such things today.

Lots of compensating going on here--must be tiny.

Irish, if you didn't drink so much, maybe you wouldn't be seeing all those open nets in the first place.

If his playing style is anything like Rocco's, I just hope he is paired with guys who can see his passes coming.

My fault, guys, for not using a smiley, but does anybody really think a person could make such a cliche and overbroad statement as I did above and be doing anything but making fun of us all. 60 full minutes and crisp passes???

I should have used a smiley.

Chicken wire. The old barn. Fog on the ice.

You guys act all giddy like blue chippers are all that matter. I say they need players who will play a full 60 minutes and use crisp short passes.

Lumberdome in mid January hosting BC. They can stay in Rugby.
