The Whistler

Anyone figure out Oshie's injury? I thought it was a leg injury on Saturday.

It's a conspiracy man!

Not playing every night is going to delay his transition time to D1 hockeyball.

Another way of looking at it. Kozek's play really improved when he moved up on the top line with two dynamic players. Martens is getting it done playing with Freshman.

What about them?

Great news, thanks a bunch. Considering that you have to really respect the team for the effort this week.

I hope you taught her the appropriate use of "Anderson [the referee] sucks!" and "kill the ref!" And kids are so cute when they do a "Hakstol."

I hope you're right, but he definitely was holding a leg up the last shift he played. Maybe that was to help him take his mind off of his stomach.

He threw a monster check in his first shift down in the offensive zone corner. I didn't notice any trouble getting up or getting off the ice. When he didn't come back for his next shift I thought it might be an upper body injury for that reason. However the one shift he played in the 2nd it sure looked like a lower body thing.

He came onto the ice a couple times in the first period. He started the second but couldn't really push off. At the whistle he really favored the one leg (right) as he went into the box. The good news is that it wasn't so bad he didn't want to give it a try. I've seen guys come back quickly with this kind of behavior. Let's hope he does. Is it surprising that the Sioux were lacking something without three of their most dynamic players, Oshie, Trupp and Gennoway. Question, the check at the end of OT on Watkins looked like a clip to me. Anyone else think so?

By the rule book the net being tipped up like that is the same thing as the net being off it's pegs.

I thought JPL missed the goal because Bina's stick got tangled up with him. By the time he got free the puck was coming. Two strange goals. Give St. Cloud a ton of credit, it was a great playoff style game by both teams.

We try to simplify the game as much as possible for some people.

If a week off helps him get 100% (or even 90%) faster then I hope he doesn't play this weekend.

#3 the Kaip line has to grind down the Roe, Lasch and Noodle line.

No opinion.

Are they thinking that the Gophers only recruited scrubs with this batch so none of them will leave early?

I'd heard that she took half of it, hence "50/50".

There was a game that Marto and Lapoint were paired together.

I'm pretty worried about this weekend. We need to bring signs to the games this weekend to the effect of "The Playoffs Start Today!" St. Clown will fold like a cheap shirt.

Last time I was there it smelled like a smoke factory.

We've missed Colby ever since he graduated but managed to return to the Frozen Four the two years since he's been gone.

I don't think that this was all that different from Ryan Duncan's CFB in Minnesota. The players were going a bit faster but aside from that it was pretty close to the same thing.
