I'll second that. But he still reminds me of Roe or Lasch from SCSU. And thats not a good thing.

Yeah thats getting annoying. Watching him celebrate after he scored the one where he interfered with the goalie (which didn't count) left me shaking my head.

Well we got the Merrimack win. Northeastern and UNH tied. Princeton lost to Yale. And AA was up on Alaska 2-0 before giving up 3 straight goals.

You won't get any complaints from me.

Central up 1-0 over Century in the 1st.

Could be a fun one tomorrow night.

After Bokal trips the UMD player. Someone better tell the Duluth student section to watch what they say...

Wow what a dumb penalty on Fairchild in the UM-UMD game. BTW who do we want to win between the Dogs and the Gophs? I would like 4th but most of all I want to make sure we play CC first round.

Yeah it is. And will be. The one side the water won't be going is north.

Same here. Lets hope its a good one tonight.

Originally from a small town around there.

Probably the reason they gave him 5 for boarding instead of a CFB.

I try to avoid her articles. You could go to any local elementary school and find many a kid that had more hockey knowledge than her.

I see your point but there is also a downside to not fighting. Everyone (including Shep and Hunt) knows this series could be a powder keg. They are going to be watching everything like hawks. If the Sioux try to play physical, I think they could end up taking a lot of penalties. Borderline high hit? Sit for elbowing. Hard hit in the corner? Boarding. They are not going to let this series get away from them. Best thing would be to drop them early and take care of it. Then everyone can play hockey and the refs might feel more inclined to swallow the whistles.

Well I have yet to see a nickname opponent come on here without attacking everyone from the local postman to Ralph himself to Ra, the egyptian sun god. So I think their bans are probably well deserved.

I would have to agree with you. Just take a look at the goalies from that era in the pregame video. Of course a ton of goals are going to be scored when the goalie just stands there and tries to catch the puck with his glove. The style of play in goalies is totally different from that era to now. Shooters had openings all over to shoot at. Now, you either have to be a sniper or have a darn good move to score.

At least in the East, it is a very weird season. Normally you have a top group of teams. Not so much this year. For example, even though Grafton beat Central and Red River, they also lost to most of the Fargo teams, including North. But then North went and lost to DL, who hasn't beat any of the top teams. I think it is going to be a heck of a regional tournament. I really think some teams just match up better with others and depending on who plays who, there could be some surprises sneaking in. I woud say everyone in the top 7 have a chance to make state. It all depends on their opponents over that 3 day stretch.

But babies, dolphins and pretty much the universe in general loves me. That's the difference.

Not if they are idiotic.

No. He's giving examples of stuff that has happened in the Summit. Basically clean up your own act before throwing stones at others.

Wow! I'm speechless. I could break this post down and comment on how its wrong on so many levels but I really don't have the time. So instead I will just leave you with Wow.

I have to think Dell will get a start. Sure he had a rough night when he started at home against St. Cloud but as mentioned, BE hasn't been sharp either. I think a rotation between the two might be what we need in net. Both just need to concentrate on being shutdown for one night per weekend.

Well said. Having 2 games on Thurs would make Thurs and Fri equally important. And Sat afternoon off would really be nice for people to go do other things. I think that a third place game would just be overkill.
