The Whistler

Is the town above water still?

Usually someone around here provides us with the lines. When he gets around to that we'll know. Oh yeah, that SOMEONE is you. Why aren't you doing your job?

ONE? Hardly worth tightening your skates for "one."

Go ahead and laugh. You're just giving Big Ben all the more motivation to show his scoring side.

The creepy floating Tigger Head still isn't worth the price.

I'm feeling that Blood's going to get his first hattrick as a Sioux. 3 to 0 Sioux.

You have to look for certain things then it's pretty clear. As Knight approaches him you can see his hands down low. As the bodies separate after the hit again you can see his hands and they are low. In the 30 frame per seconds world there's no way for his hands to come up and be back down. Also when you think about it the white jersey of Knight would be very obvious against a Duluth uniform or helmet. And yes, I blame someone for repeating something that is obviously a lie when anyone can look at the video and see that it was NOT an elbow to the head.

I disagree. The video is clear. Knights hands are clearly down before the hit and after it. He's wearing white which would show up if his arms were up. The Duluth players didn't react to the hit as if it was a dirty hit at the time.

The voters voted for that in 1980. It's called the permanent oil tax trust fund. Unfortunately we couldn't trust the politicians and they have been raiding it every chance they can. The voters had a chance to make it harder to do in 2008 but unfortunately that didn't pass. How are we going to pay for our expanded government when the oil runs out (whenever that is?) I disagree with your idea to pay for a commuter bus. People in Thompson don't hardly carpool. People from Finley aren't going to commute for an hour. Of course there are some exceptions.

I like how Clutterbuck plays. Hard but clean.

Suppose you're at the Ralph and want to sit on the end where the Sioux attack twice. Figure how high you want to be and go to that row. If you move to your left (in this case) at some point you wont' be able to see the ice in front of the penalty boxes. It's my opinion the best seats allow you to watch the puck (and action along the boards) all the way up and down the boards. The only blind spot for the puck will be on the end right in front of you. Those are the seats I prefer when I can get them.

I know a guy who took his seats in the exact middle of a run of seats so nobody would be walking in front of him. If you don't get up much that's not a bad idea. I'd take a corner anywhere as long as you are inside the near board. That is you can see the ice surface up to the boards on both long runs of the ice surface. IF you get the parking deal you might want to consider how close your seats are to the parking area. If you can beat the majority of the fans to your car you can avoid the long waits in the parking lot. So if the other guys in the parking lot are behind the players bench and you're on the end next to the parking lot you can watch the end and be out of the parking lot as they get to their car.

Perfect for UND85.

A shot of beer everytime the scary tigger head is on the screen? I know you are always looking for an excuse to drink. I'd join you but I don't drink at home.

How much just to see the scary floating Tigger head?

Blood.

They're screwing around. I wonder if these parents ever sent their kids to Karate class. Wonder what they do there?

All the better to crush them in the first round of the wcha playoffs.

Good point. I wonder how we'd match up on the tie breakers if we split the season? Total Goals? It's a cliche, but if we play our game we'll be alright wherever we turn up going into the playoffs.

I would think that the olympics could be used to build up the number of people interested in Hockey. Of course it doesn't help that NBC could care less about that so they aren't talking about the player NHL teams.

That was fun.

Parise is a plus 2 I think and Toews a plus one.

Well they have one decent player.

US vs Canada on MSNBC at 6?: Hopefully the canucks were out hitting the Molsen's all night.

The guy said that Eaves said that in the post game radio interview. Eaves responded to it by reminding him the face was part of the head.
