  1. Fact...look at the shots on goal. Kangas faced a LOT of rubber last night...and he's already seen a bunch tonight. Not much defense from goldy, and that means not much offense either. The Sioux are running roughshod over the gophers both nights thus far.

    AND I LIKE IT! :angry:

    What Kangas and his roommate did after the game last night in their hotel room is their business.

  2. I'd like to get my finals over with, but my car isn't starting. Walking in these blizzardy conditions isn't my cup of tea. :lol:

    That is one reason I'm surprised UND hasn't decided to close up shop tomorrow. It would suck if you get up to go to a final and your car doesn't start but are too far to walk, what are you to do, finals have no exceptions.

  3. any chance UND will cancel finals tomorrow? LOL. my car's dead and i really don't want to walk to campus HAHA. It's not too pretty out there.

    UND close :lol::ohmy::) It won't happen as long as the director of finance (i.e. the person who is worried about making money) has that power in his or her hands.

  4. I'm pretty sure that they show all Blackhawks games in the Chicago area. This happened after the owner died last year.

    And the New Year's Day game is on NBC I believe.

    Every game is on TV this year with no blackouts.

    Also again if you want to watch Hawks games in good quality check out ATDHE.net they always have a feed and it is excellent quality.

  5. Heard about this a few weeks ago but this is the first text of the story I have seen.

    In the middle of a grueling six game road trip where a very

    young hockey team is away from home, the third game

    of the trip ends late on a cold Canadian Saturday night. This is the

    only break on the trip and the three

    days between games allow them the only break

    to get back home in their own

    beds for a couple of days before going

    back on the road. A scheduled commercial flight waits for them at

    Toronto's International Airport for the short flight home; they could be home by

    midnight. This plane departs on

    schedule, but without a single member of the hockey team.

    Back in the locker room a vote is taken after the game was complete,

    and a unanimous decision is made by this young team

    to skip this flight and stay one more day. They make arrangements to

    check back in the hotel and on a frozen Sunday morning charter two buses

    that have no heat and begin a journey two hours straight north into a

    sparsely inhabited Canada ,but where hockey is its passion. They arrive at

    their destination to the surprise of the team's general manager who is there

    attending his fathers wake.

    After a few emotional hours, this team boards

    the buses and head back for a two-hour trip back to Toronto . On the

    way they ask the drivers to stop in a

    tiny Canadian town because they are hungry. To the shock of the

    patrons and workers at this small hockey town McDonald's, a professional team

    walks out of two rickety buses and into the restaurant,

    which just happens to have pictures of two members of this team on

    its wall. The patrons know every single one of these players by sight

    being fanatic fans of hockey in these parts. One can only imagine their

    amazement of the locals seeing and entire professional hockey team

    sit down and have a meal in their tiny little town in the middle of a hockey season.

    After a while they board the buses and catch their same flight 24 hours later,

    giving one day to their general manager.

    This a true story of the Chicago Blackhawks last Saturday night and they decided to

    attend Dale Tallon's fathers funeral. Its amazing that such a good story

    can be found nowhere on the internet, and not even

    mentioned in the Chicago papers.

    Had one of the Blackhawks got into a fight and punched some drunk in a Toronto bar, or said something derogatory about some ex-girlfriend, it would be plastered all over papers and the television.

    This being said, its hard to imagine any professional football, basketball

    or baseball team doing this, but the members

    of the Blackhawks claim any "hockey" team would have done this.

    This is one reason I continue to be a huge hockey fan, and another reason I am

    excited about this Chicago team.

    I thought I would share as this story appears to have gone unnoticed.

    EDIT: ALSO IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED THE BLACKHAWKS GAME WILL BE STREAMED ON WWW.ATDHE.NET AT 730 LOCAL TIME

  6. Toews amazing goal last night made me think it would be cool to see some others. I think his was the goal of the year so far

    but I haven't seen all goals scored this year and I am biased.

    Here is my entry: Toews smokes Detroit!

    Next.......

    I'm biased also, and it looks like your a fellow Hawks fan, let's beat Phoenix tonight.

    But.....as Toews biased as I am, I think his fellow teammate has topped him so far this year. His name is VERSTEEG!!
