forecheck

UND 45 UMD 37 UW 36 UMN 35 SCSU 30 CC 25 Denver 24 AA 19 Mankato 16 MTech 13 I'm probably way off about MN, but I just didn't see them sweeping UND, Wisconsin, or Duluth.

I don't know, maybe. I was on the big screen towards the end of regulation when we were trying to get everyone to stand up and cheer.

Katie O'Keefe was telling me how funny the signs and costumes were between periods, and I told her I didn't know if the rumors were exactly true or not. She said they most definitely were, and from what she told me, I'm glad he isn't around with his piss poor attitude anymore.

I swear Greene needs a tighter helmet.

The author was a little misinformed. It wasn't an empty fry container hanging over the glass, it was a Big Mac. I can't believe he didn't mention the separated at birth sign. That was by far the funniest. Some of Fournier's teammates even got a laugh out of it when I pointed out just how similar Fournier and Grimace are during warm-ups.

I know. I'm just saying I still think it should count even though he had already scored his first goal in the second period.

Does it not count if those 3 goals are the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th goals of the game? In my head he still got a natural hat trick.

I bet they were free when you went to UND.

Sorry YaneA, I was on vacation!! Since I will be busy taunting Chris on the glass in my beautiful McDonald's costume, the only signs I really want are ones that have to do with Chris and getting fat. Maybe even one that says something like "Don't eat me!" I'll take the others though and pass them out. I hope to be down on the glass next to the visitor's penalty box. I like these: "Welome Back, Chris! Keep Your Chins Up!" "How I Spent My Christmas Vacation" idea. Golden Arches v. Gold Medal "want fries with that?" (Especially with the fry costume!) Chris, Even Richard Simmons can't help you Seperated at Birth?

You didn't even hear it!! Everyone's just going on hearsay from Redwing. I can't believe you people actually believed him. Him over me. If I wait to buy student tickets for the UAA series on Weds, I should still be ok right?

You make one freaking comment and no one can forget it... My mom was in Fargo today and brought the costumes to a friend's house, so I'm going to pick them up on my way back from Minneapolis. We'll do rock-paper-scissors for the Big Mac if I'm feeling nice.

I was surprised to hear he wasn't even dressed yesterday. Parise still makes me nervous. He always seems to give up 1-2 bad goals right away.

Who's in net? What do the lines look like tonight? I appreciate any updates guys, since I'm just checking in once in a while!

I appreciate the updates!

You can kiss those fries goodbye. Besides, I did talk to Morley and he's still up to wearing it. I can't wait. Which reminds me, we need good ideas for signs that will go with 2 people wearing a Big Mac costume and a McD's french fry costume at the Alaska series, directed of course at Mr. Chris Fournier. That's right, I still have connections at my Alma Matar and will be borrowing them, perhaps along with some other props. I was thinking a small to-go bag (normal size), medium bag (supersize), and the big bag with the handles (Fournier size). And Diggler, I don't think a jersey chaser would be able to jump in the shower at 2pm and be at the arena by 2:35pm once she realized the game started at 1pm. I still made it for the 3rd period and shootout!

I seem to remember that too. Concordia wants to invite the 4 best NCAA teams from the US to play 4 Canadian college teams. I wonder if the Sioux would still play a Canadian team at the beginning of the season then, like they usually do?

Because of things she's said. Of course I can take it Sic. But I've been known to give it better.

What the @#!?!!* is with you people? Great, now I'm more of a jersey chaser than ~SiouxHockeyLover~.

Hehe, no. They were for someone else, and not the ones I wanted. I can take a joke, but insinuating that Redwing is jealous? *shudder*

That's too bad. It was fun last year.

We were supposed to get home ice this year! Didn't happen obviously. Maybe if we can arrange it during the Final Five again, more Sioux players will show up. If the teams have even numbers, it would be like having a 5x3 though since the Sioux nearly won the game with 7 players vs. 10.

Oh brother! I can't even believe you brought that up. It was said in the heat of the moment, and I forgot about it till now. I guess I have to put things in context now. Short story even shorter, Nick Fuher made what looked like an amazing move and almost scored (I think. See, I can't even remember the specifics because this didn't seem like a big deal to me at the time.) and as I was excited about the scoring chance, I blurted out "Nick Fuher! You gorgeous hunk of meat." Or something like that. I obviously didn't take time to mull over my choices of words. My voice tends to carry, especially at hockey games, so people around me obviously overheard. I suppose a more appropriate response would have been "Damn, nice moves Fuher." But even that could be taken out of context. His looks had nothing to do with the comment. Besides, no one on the Sioux team could "catch my fancy." They're all too clean cut.

Beersong, that's too bad. Maybe if you had a chance to sit in the lower bowl your experience would have been different? I've been in the upper bowl before, and it seems like some fans up there are more interested in drinking than the hockey game, which doesn't always lead to the best judgment. I did meet one guy from your group on Friday night at Sugars. I think he was lost. I talked to him for a few minutes, but I didn't catch a name, or if I did I can't remember it due to all the drinks some old guy from Providence was buying me. Hope I wasn't too hard on him.

I don't know if students get assigned seats or not for the Christmas tourney, but I just got an email from REA saying that a 2-day pass for students is $15. So yes, you got ripped off 2 years in a row. I refuse to get ass-raped again this year.
