It seems to me that it wasn't long ago that Hakstol said he would leave the Spirko-Zajac-Stafford line together because they were playing well and had developed some chemistry. He apparently changed his mind when Brady returned, but it's not as if those three haven't played well together before. I'm not worried about that line. McMahon and Genoway play well together. It's been a while since Chris Porter has scored, so I hope that playing with those two will get him going. Fabian, Canady and Massen will continue to do what they've done well the past several games.

The atmosphere in my living room sucks! My wife won't let me stand for the whole game and she gets angry when I swear at the TV! I'm the only member of my family who cheers! Midcontinent charges too much for cable! How come I don't get a cupholder on my recliner? Why won't Scott Hennen come to my house to do the PA duties?

He and Matt Greene always are 1 and 2 in the team shootout competitions.

So that was you in those "I am the NCAA" commercials?

What planet are you on? Oh. Never mind.

WDAZ changes the Web cast every day. If you couldn't find it, it's probably no longer there.

Hey, I think you plagiarized this from some dude over on the USCHO board! Just kidding! Great job again. The information from an informed source is much appreciated.

Yes it is. You can't fool me. I know a verbatim transcript when I see one! Great job, farce poobah. It was almost like being there.

That's what I suspected, although I had no inside knowledge on Murray's status. It would be nice to get Prpich back.

I understand that the team is leaving for Worchester Wednesday morning. I'm guessing that means no Fighting Sioux Coaches Show, although I've heard nothing official.

I'd take it right past the league and get the NCAA to adopt it.

I'm sure the Sicatoka's idea doesn't sound stupid to Robbie Bina's family and teammates. However, I don't think it's a practical approach. What I think is practical would be if the NCAA treated boarding just as it treats fighting. Let's face it: Few players are ever seriously injured in fights. But every time boarding occurs, there's a potential life-threatening or career-ending outcome. That's why I think that if one player boards another player, the ref should have no discretion in assessing a major or a minor penalty. It should automatically be a major penalty. And as with fighting, every time a player engages in boarding, he should get an extra game added to his suspension time. I'd go so far as to say that if a player received three boarding penalties in a season, he's done for the season. And if he did it two seasons in a row, his college hockey career would be over. I see no value whatsoever in keeping chronic boarders in college hockey.

Don't listen to Canuck. He's always moving his stick.

Good idea. And then he can let us know if it's perm season yet.

It was during the game while Bina was still down on the ice. I don't know that Skarperud chewed out McLeod, but he did have words with him. As Tim Hennessy reported during the game, Skarperud also pounded once on the door of the broadcast booth that Greg Shepherd was in. For that, the WCHA suspended him for the UND-Minnesota game.

Didn't Joe Montana play football again after having similar surgery?

Does it have to be legal?

It's not as if the team is being forced to practice on the yellow-tinged ice at University Park.

USCHO just posted this story about Robbie Bina. The information on his surgery is from the UND news release, but there are also some quotes from Matt Greene regarding what happened during the DU-UND game.

So what are you waiting for? JUMP!!!

Maybe he's trying to diversify.

At this point, nobody knows for sure.
