    I think honestly we are pretty close to being there. I look around the NCAA right now and this is the most parity I have ever seen.

    The other night Jerry York and Jack Parker were on NESN between periods of the Bruins game and York and Parker were talking up the Hockey East and since that appearance BU is 0-2 and B.C. split. My point is this hockey season is wide open anyone can win and it won't probably be anyone we expect.

    Point well taken. I can only hope that this team can build from the early season struggles, however the skeptical side of me tells me it is going to be a very different result for the year for the Sioux compared to prior year runs.

    i know we are all pretty frustrated here, but flipping back and forth, and du and the goofs are in a completely different league than us and umd. we've got no shot against either team if we play like this.

    You are 100% correct. We are in a place we are not used to and that is the bottom half of the WCHA.

    Joe Finley

    in Men's Hockey

    I put up a post about this before but given the constant Finley debate I will say it again.

    I was at the Pepsi center for the meltdown and I re-watched the game three times since then. And here is the fact of the matter when it comes to who did and did not do what;

    (Sans Johnn Filllipy) Genoway pretty much single handedly lost that game for us.

    In all but one of the first five goals he made a horrible move or lack of a move that either allowed the shot or was the primary error that led to the shot. Please, before you contest this with me, I suggest you watch the game again. Just fast forwad to the goals (carefull, they come often). Further I can say that in three of the goals there was nothing Finley could have done to save the situation (please don't tell me he could have stopped the first goal, Genoway is out there figure skating and leaves the puck sitting there for an fast fast break. That was an very unexpected error and there would be no reason for finley to think Genoway would have melted that much.)

    ..I cannot remeber the fourth goal at the moment. I'll go watch it if anyone wants to make the bogus argument that Finley should have saved him. By the way, If I recall correctly on one of his goof-up goals Finley wasn't even on the ice with him. He had already changed- I think with Chorney...

    Now where is the coversation about Genoway and whether or not the forward convert has a complete enough skill set and defesive acumen to succeed at the D1 level? let's start that thread.

    Here is what I have to say about Genoway;

    Awesome skater. Often very aggresive offesive defensemen. Very good insincts and vision on the offesive side. Adequate on the defesive side but very green when it comes to defesive decision making and vision. Can be exposed by teams with offesive skill as seen against BC. This was not realized last year until the frozen four because the WCHA in its new defensive minded paradigm presented no team that had the offesive talent to expose the flaw.

    Don't get mr wrong, I like Genoway. I like his intesity and he is obviously a great competitor but he aint a defensive expert.

    My recollection of the game as well - Genoway, one of my favorite players, made several critical mistakes that directly lead to several of the BC goals.

    I don't own a gun....that is my choice.

    For those of you that do....good for you in excercising your right as an American citizen. Imaginge the ability to have a gun and use proper guidance, education, responsibility and accountability - what a novel concept. Kuddos to the Supreme Court!

    Charges against Oshie settled

    It wasn't just the media, check out the 30 plus pages of people overreacting on this very board. ;)

    So he lost his "C" for basically doing nothing....TJ deserved that "C" by his play on the ice and the way he conducted himself off the ice. We are so lucky that he didn't say screw this and Okposo us.

    Triouxper was dead-on on this one!

    Fargo Smoking Ban

    Well as a non-smoker, I am on the fence on this one. For selfish reasons, I will not miss smelling like smoke coming out of a bar or restaurant. On the flip side, I find it a slippery slope as to what will be the next thing that is banned and that scares me. Example noted below:

    I think as a member of this site and a proud fan of the FIGHTING SIOUX and what we as fans have had to endure over the last several years, I would think that we could all agree that once the "political b.s. crowd" gains some momentum and push their agenda for "correctness" as evidenced by the fact that we most likely have to change the nickname, common sense is all but gone.

    Burglary, fleeing, terrorizing, assualt, where's the 30 pages of outrage and dissapointment? Where's the story in USA Today? How about a mugshot on WDAZ every day for the next week, come on Cassie you're slippin' here. Other student athletes have "minor" scrapes with law enforcement and are scrutinized much more. What a joke. No response from sicatoka? Time to put your money where your mouth is. I guess maybe it's all ok, he's only a football player. :glare:

    Agreed - the stations do not report the news rather they do their best to "create" the news.
