AHAHAHAHAHA! You are sadly mistaken my friend. If you thought Matt Greene was a big goon, just wait till you see my players!

Was there ever a doubt? Best series I've seen all year long!

Nice pictures, Pat. Althought I think Dubbie seems to be saying "I am a copper god," not "I am a golden god." Those pads were hideous.

Don't lose faith yet....we sure haven't.

Yeah, that was last year. Dean is smiling down on me from my shelf this minute. "How you doing?"

Why no love for the Wookie?? He'll always be recognized for his mullet in my heart.

Why are you guys wearing hats and gloves? Come back when there is more than half an inch of snow on the ground. Actually, I would be all for tailgating before games. It looks like you guys have a lot of fun. However, getting my seat in the lower bowl takes priority over pre-game festivities. Sprig, TFF.

Good, Scott can join me on the bench and we can both pretend to know what we're doing.

You gotta try harder than that to get into my home! LOL, I wouldn't know the first thing about coaching. Anyone think Blais and the team would want to spend one extra day in MN? He could be my assistant. Damn, I hope some Sioux fans are going to show up! We can't be outnumbered! EDIT: Is my team up for showing up at 12:30 to meet the Gopher fans? I'll be there.

That's exactly what I thought. Isn't that why there is a Meet the Sioux and Skate with the Sioux throughout the season? I'm surprised Blais agreed to this. WPoS, have you ever tried to tailgate in Grand Forks in the middle of January? It wouldn't be pleasant, I can assure you. The wind would blow your grilled weinie right out of your hands. The only people dumb enough to try that would probably be the students, but they're stuck waiting in line for the doors to open.

Chad was a redshirt from this year from Devil's Lake, but I can't remember off the top of my head where he played at before UND. He was practicing with the team earlier in the season, but from what I have gathered he has since stopped and is instead focusing on school. Blais has said some good things about him, and it sounds like he could play next year. He's in the team picture that was handed out at the Meet the Sioux back in October.

Just to add to this, also keep the front of the net clear. We don't need our goalies screened!

If the goalies don't mind splitting time, that would be cool. I don't like telling someone they can't play. I sent the money out yesterday, so you should be getting it soon.

One of my favorite things about Prpich is watching him get under other another player's skin. For some reason guys are always wanting to fight him, and Mike just laughs in his face like it would be a waste of his time. He's definitely a hard worker, and an excellent late addition to the team.

I can't imagine the team letting Zach fight. I would think one punch and Greene, Schneider, et al would be in there showing Winchester what's up.

Sounds good, stuckinfargo. Thanks! Greyeagle, apparently Scott didn't think you guys were enough of a challenge.

First no goalies, now we have an abundance of them! Wantagh, thanks for finding a goalie, and stuckinfargo, thanks for offering too! You should definitely still come and watch, and if for some reason Wantagh's friend can't make it, we'd be glad to have you play. So is there going to be any Sioux fans in the stands besides me?

I agree. I like the captions.

Bertibm, From what I understand, Wantagh is checking to see if his friend can play goalie, and if he can't, then mksioux has a friend that will play that position. So we shouldn't need you to find us one anymore. Thanks for trying to help though! EDIT: Wantagh, I'm trying to e-mail you, but the messages keep getting sent back to me for some reason. Let me know as soon as you can about the goalie. Thanks!

I actually emailed you already, but you're still in. Morley and his brother were already signed up to play, but they weren't sure last night if they were still coming. Now they're sure. It sounds like there are a few Sioux fans interested in going out after the game, so if one of you Gopher fans wants to make reservations, people will show up.

Bah! Such big talk from such little rodents! All I can say is BRING IT! I'll have my team whipped into shape and in the mood for an ass kicking! You're welcome.

So this is for sure after I talked to you tonight then? I won't look for another player if that's the case.

Still up for playing? Nathan can't make it anymore, so I sent you an e-mail too. Depending on what my travelling buddy wants to do, I'm up for going out after the game. Anyone else?
