The Whistler

Jason's brother on crutches said that 8 or so bystanders "corralled him" on the Mac Talk show Monday. I guess that doesn't mean the guy tried real hard to flee or anything like that.

Doesn't your cell phone have a torch app? I'll make it clear the thug deserves his day in court. There are plenty of witnesses and we've only heard from parties related to the victim. Apparently there were plenty of witnesses. The crutches brother said that a group of 8 or so bystanders kept the thug from leaving. Presumably they saw the incident. So yes, we wait for the trial, but I don't see any obligation to NOT discuss the incident with the facts that we do have.

It's significant that he wasn't part of the confrontation between the crutch pusher and Jason's brother. He had no reason to think that he was in danger. He just took a cheap shot from behind. Yep, this was pretty close to a second degree murder case.

Should be banned.

Why did he fall again?

Did anyone say that the thug didn't go to UND? Is the first near-murder free? I agree that we've only heard one side, but there were apparently plenty of witnesses so we should get a straight story.

Don't worry, everyone's rude to Goon.

So they're time has been done for a few years......

That wasn't really Herb Brooks. It was just a kid who plays him on Youtube.

As a guy who's getting middle aged I try to engage opposing fans in conversation a bit. Figure it can't hurt as long as I keep a little difference to give the germs room to disperse.

wide stance.

I'm ashamed when someone tries to pick a fight with the other teams coach at a PeeWee game.

Is there going to be a fan bus? Only 2,894 miles according to Google Maps. What, it'd have to leave yesterday?

By that one could conclude that it was NOT a fight.

I think he's in the running for Nailee of the year.

I have no knowledge of that and anyone saying anything different is lying.

Yeah the game was so close there wasn't a lot of opportunity to engage in the chippy stuff.

Did you notice in the scrum when Toni Lucia had Gleason from behind that Malone dragged sucakaletti (or something like that #13) across the ice to grab Toni? It was like he wasn't there.

Without it he would have got the hattie.

It drives me nuts. Gopher checks Ben Blood at the Whistle. Rather than penalize the instigator they throw both. Crosscheck after the Whistle in the first period. No retaliation, no penalty. And they wonder why there are fights.

-derick sheptard -Marco Hunt Hunt was the chief moron last night.

I think we decline the forfeit and run up our stats a bit. Sioux 532--Gophers 1 That's with me in the net BTW

Did you pack an extra blowcomb for the team, you know just in case?

Looks like a busy hotel weekend, a lot more than the Britney weekend which only sold out Saturday night. http://www.visitgrandforks.com/main.php/hotelvacancies
