The Whistler

He's such a piece of work. Over on the USCHO forum a BADger fan said he ref (B Sheppard or T Anderson) said they didn't call contact to the head because he hit him in the face. Just when you think the WCHA officials can't get any more stupid.

Don't they have that guy with bleached hair dancing like a 'tard every other period break. Can you still say "'tard?"

Then the BBC crew would be bragging how English hockey players (both of them) are the best.

That's so unfair.

Toews will be playing won't he? Maybe Hak doesn't want to shake up that line?

I'd love to see Chay back next year, but who knows what his plans are? Whatever he decides to do is ok with me.

Didn't he take public money out of an account and put it into his personal account. If that's the case then stole is the word.

I agree, I go back to the old Barn in the 60's. (Mom and Dad were carrying me in. But I kept finding my way home.) The officiating makes me think that maybe there will be a time when I'll give up on college hockey. For the record I gave up the NFL for the most part for that reason. I did watch a couple games because my son wanted to watch this year. The only game I watched in full was the vike's last game, which made me remember why I no longer watched the NFL. (Not that I blame the officials for the loss, but they sucked anyway).

Didn't the article say that he was forced to pay it back.

I advanced my thoughts as a theory. I'm not saying you're wrong, but on the other hand is anyone happy with the way the league is being officiated. I don't credit the WCHA leadership one iota for the success of UND or the success of any other team. Even the teams that seem to get more calls going their way seem upset. Regarding the powers that be, don't you think that even if they have some admin or academic guy casting the votes for the school, they're going to listen to the coach on internal issues?

I don't think it's just this. Everyone knows they're doing a crappy job. Yes, ND has some beefs, but so do a lot of other schools that I don't really care about.

Not that I disagree with you, but I have to give Blood credit. He uses his size to block out the other guys and he manages to make plays with a body on him.

Good plan.

That was a pretty good period.

still a few juniors yet to score tonight. Trupp, Fratts, Malone, Then we move on to Sophomores.

Just tuning in, did I miss anything. Hey if I didn't hear it it didn't happen, right?

One thing we should have learned is to never count a Hakstol team out until the end of the season.

Well it doesn't do a lot of good to talk trash AFTER the series, whichever way it goes. Prediction, fight in the Friday night game. I think it'll be a good thing so that we can concentrate on hockey the rest of the weekend.

We should have a permanent outdoor stadium and play there when it's not so windy. Well the wind doesn't always blow. I think the games are GREAT for the NHL. They get a lot of interest in the game. I could see us being the visiting team in some venue or the other that would really bring them in. Not only would they have the gimmick of an outdoor game but the Sioux play pretty well. Maybe we should just take the room off of the Alerus.....

Grab a brew. Don't cost nothin'.

Seems like Mike is some kinda freakie good photoshopper.

I'm sure that people who don't like the way Doogie runs this board could just go start their own.
