It's been some time now since gfhockey has put up a decent post--just the same old simplistic whining you might expect from a UAB fan. We Sioux fans are expected to perform at level befitting our great tradition. Time to ban him.

We will know a hell of a lot more next Sunday morning.
-
UND is currently sitting at 14th in the PWR Rankings and the Goal was sweet.
I'm sure Red got a few "Take the body!" moments out of that footage.

I remember that like it was yesterday...leer was in an establishment afterwords blacked out drunk
goodtime s by all
The Sioux had a JV team in those days, and some of the JV guys did not like Gino at all. I think Rube was pretty mellow at that point, and Gino had some edge, and I suspect he was in charge of the JV squad.
Sounds like a lot of you guys remember the old barn. No heat so sneaking in booze and win in those big air force parkas was so easy it was hardly hidden. Wire mesh in the end zone, where the cymbals guy would crash opposing players when they got their head up against the wire.

Jim Cahoon. I helped move broadcast equipment into the arena just before it opened, with a friend who was in broadcasting.
Did not remember Gino being an assistant to Bjorkman. Guess it's not always a bad idea to replace a coach with an assistant.
Did you get to know Greg Cameron?
-
Yes and was at the first game in the old Ralph. Also returned to campus for other degrees over the years.
I saw that first game as well (Jeff Sauer and CC, I believe) after watching a year of games at the old barn and returned in '89.
-
I hate to keep picking, but if you go back and listen to the highlights from Friday's 4-1 win you will hear D.H. say "...third power play of the inning."
Really.
That's not picking, that's mining for gold.

Jason,
How does one get the Sioux roster for the years 1972-73, 1973-74, 1974-75, 1975-76?
Were you a student in those days, W Sioux?
-
Finally, Matt Henderson iced the game with an empty netter. It happened just as DeBus came off the ice. 5-3 Sioux FINAL. Series Sweep. Stick Salute. And some very sore eardrums!
Great memories.
I think you meant circle of sticks.

For those doubting my elephant-like memory when it comes to hockey, I recall Moscow Dynamo rolling into town in 88-89 and Justin Duberman recording a hat trick in what was a very entertaining 5-7 loss for the Sioux. Commie b*stards!
Lot of chances to hear "Justin Doooooooooooooooooooobermannnnn"
-
Pat Sweeney would know!
If you call him, and I hope you do, ask him what he remembers about the circle of sticks.

No. Anything even over a week old they want money for. GF Public Library is the one location for Oct. 1990 GF Heralds.
fiche or are they scanned in?
-
10/15/88 shows a home 5-4 win over Northern Michigan.
I'm going to sit down tonight and examine all tie games UND was involved in from 1988 to 1992. Not sure where I'd ever begin to find a boxscore.
Are the old Herald articles electronically searchable?
-
Greg Johson - 18 goals and 61 assists that season.
Dixon Ward - 34 goals, 35 assists.
Russ Romaniuk - 40 goals, 28 assists.
Jeff McLean - 19 goals, 26 assists.
Jason Herter 11 goals, 26 assists.
Justin Duberman 19 goals, 18 assists.
Dane Jackson 17 goals, 9 assists.
24-17-2 record - disappointing finish to what looked like a great team going into the season. Brent Bobyck, Garry Valk, Russ Parent, and Lee Davidson were all gone from the prior year though.
We talk about the explosive firepower we had with DOT, but that team could really put the puck in the net.
-
Assuming this was the Greg Johnson-Dixon Ward led offense, I can sure see that happening. I was a student then as well and did not miss games without a reason, but I don't remember that one. Sober then and senile now, so . . .

2 sweeps in a row. GIVE HAK A 15 YEAR EXTENSION!!!!!
Hell, grant him tenure. He'll be even better when he's 75.
-
I always thought getting hammered involved drinking too much alcohol. Now I understand that is not true--you can get Hammered simply by watching Sioux hockey.

Cleared but not out...
I'm sorry but if the puck is cleared isn't it out of the zone?
Tim H uses "cleared but not out" a lot too.
-
I'm warm to Hammy now. He may be a rube but he is bending over backwards to be "our" rube. I appreciate that. I think he is mountains better than last as well.
That's how I feel. At first, I was offended by his lack of hockey knowledge, and I missed the old crew. But he is enthusiastic, and those gaffs are so oddly boneheaded they are kind of endearing. And I have a feeling they will keep on coming.

Yet I still don't think he understands that the disallowed goal was because of the guy in the crease, rather than just the normal penalized goalie interference rule. It's the blue paint, Hammer.
Yeah, he wanted to focus on the "judgment" aspect of the referee, rather than the crease violation.

Not only does 1 have to have extremely limited hockey knowledge to be able to stand listening to this guy but to actually accept It says a lot of oneself.
mediocrity, sub par performance, just An apathy for the unacceptable, has never been associated with the tradition of excellence the University of North Dakota hockey has always stood for.
the acceptance of " well I guess its all we have " is truly pathetic .....and just sad.
especially given the fact that there were other more to Talented and experienced options who also applied for the job......that is what is so offensive to those of us who love the Fighting Sioux hockey tradition of excellence
That's so contrived. Puffing about your own lofty standards for what other people do or should do, when what you seek is vicarious pleasure and pride through the accomplishment of others. Given the way you express yourself, I will guess that the standards you set for your own life and work are not quite so lofty.
It's a game. We love that game, just as we do our alma mater, but it's a friggin game.

My new favorite was from last night's game:
"Oh...the things that happen in the crease."
He said that?
Better save that one for Bemidji
-
Good topic, especially after we were blessed with the traditional circle of sticks last night. Hammer so goofy, I'm starting to like the guy. Not Dewey Berquist, but a little of that off-the-wall oddness.
When this thread is complete, somebody does need to make a T-shirt.
-
I'm usually pretty lenient on Hammer...I don't give him a pass on everything, but it's challenging to be witty, insightful, and describe a fast-paced play on the fly.
But, dang, "Circle of Sticks" is just absurdly funny and ridiculously embarrassing.
You're right, Hammer has done fairly well on the play-by-play, even cut back on the "one-timers." And the funny, idiotic things he says could make the guy a bit of a cult figure if he can last.

Don't be intimidated so easily, gfhockey. Grow a pair. Stand up and insist you want another championship.
