I agree. Travis Zajac should have been rated higher than No. 1 last year and Brady Murray should have been ranked higher than No. 1 in 2003. When will North Dakota's hockey program get the respect it deserves?

Ring...ring..."Hey Bob, it's Don. I saw this guy's name in the paper....I think it's Phil something. Do you think we should recruit him? You do? Ok. What? Blake Wheeler? Never heard of him. If you say so. By the way, good call on recruiting Goligoski, Hagemo and Peltier. I was way off. I don't know how I won three titles and reached the Frozen Four at CC without you or even how I got Potulny, Riddle, Koalska, Martin and Waibel to sign with us when John Hill was here."

If only they had that promotion when Zach was playing...

A) Mentally ill - Tyler's parents wanted him to play in the NCAA Regional. Lucia and his staff said no way. B) Control the Media - I've read this a few places that the U was intimidating people about the video. I haven't seen one shred of evidence related to this. Shed some light?

Make all the signs you want. I was referring to your ridiculous claim that Hirsch is an embarrassment to his program and school. Is Greene an embarrassment to his program and his school? Is Brandt? Was Bochenski?

Woah, woah, woah!! Are you saying the Sioux had a team captain arrested for drunk driving? I don't remember Sioux_Hab-it calling him an embarrassment to his team or his school. If I remember correctly he said the following "Understand that the guy is human and that he made a mistake".

Would Hirsch be an embarrassment to his program and school if he was a team captain and arrested for drunk driving? Or arrested for theft? Or pleading guilty to a felony?

I'm sure the Zamboni driver is still traumatized.

Pretty classy.

Is that similar to Engelstad this past Friday when the building was 83 percent full for a home playoff game against a rival?

Kinda like some of the Sioux fans bad-mouthing him now? Do you think their tune would change if he gave UND a verbal? The Gopher board will no doubt be minimizing his talent in a similiar fashion if he opts for Wisconsin.

Kessel is not holding a press conference. He is holding a conference call. Isn't that better than getting a phone call from the Star Tribune, then taking a call from the Pioneer Press, then the Minnesota Daily, then KFAN, then the Cap Times in Madison and the Wisconsin State Journal, then the Badger Herald, then the Daily Cardinal, then USCHO, then Inside College Hockey, then etc., etc.? And for the record, the elite high school football and basketball players routinely hold press conferences to announce where they are signing.

"To be lazy requires years of proof.

I apologize for bringing up facts.

Team A 2001-02: Perms (NCAA Title) 2002-03: Beards (NCAA Title) 2003-04: Perms (Second straight Broadmoor, Regional Final) 2004-05: Shaved (On pace for No. 1 or 2 seed) Team B 2001-02: Nothing (one of the worst seasons in recent memory) 2002-03: Nothing (pathetic, uninspired loss to Ferris) 2003-04: Nothing (Consensus No. 1 team in the nation; Regional Final) 2004-05: Nothing (sub .500 in the WCHA)

Kinda like the cockiness UMD played UAA with all season (0-3-1)? Cockiness = 115 shots on goal in two games? Imagine if Minnesota took UAA serious.

The 2003 Gopher team lost 255 points and a four-year starter in net from 2002.....Hobey Baker Award winner, two first-team All-Americans, WCHA winningest goaltender, nation's leading scorer, nation's second leading goal scorer

Minnesota G. Potulny T. Riddle K. Ballard T. Vanek M. Koalska J Waibel J Taylor J Martin B. MacKinnon 228 points; 725 career points; 1st-team AA; 2nd-team AA; three captains; two Frozen Four MVPs; three to the NHL early; six guys playing in the pros

It's weird how that average Gopher team is a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament as of now and took three of four against Wisconsin.

It's like annual thing here....ripping on Dubay when he speculates about UND. I remember the outrage here when midway through the '03 season he said Minnesota would finish higher than UND by the end of the season. UND was rolling along at 9-1-3 in the conference (Gophers 6-4-3), but Dubay continued to say UND was a fraud. Turned out he was right. What prediction has he made about UND that didn't come true?
