I believe his name is pronounced "Tool."

Heck, even Frank and Doug sounded embarrassed by it.

I like the part where Woog said that Wheeler's jersey popping was just as classless as Lamoureux's glove flashing. Okay, I just made that up. Oh, and nice moment of silence there, Gopher fans.

Sappyseive knows the real story. I'm sure he won't tell it, but he knows it.

I'm convinced that this is the post-game incident that will not die.

Lou Lamoriello lost interest after I blew out my knee painting the house in May.

It was Monday or Tuesday when Hak said that. I suppose it could change by game time.

Hak said on the radio earlier this week that they had Zajac centering the fourth line. He commented on how strong that made the team down the middle.

I will be there with 33% 50% more fans than usual.

I'm friends with the NCAA.

Happy birthday, Goon, you premadonna sudo-blogger. I'll leave the birthday spanking to Fetch.

I want my money back!

Shhhhh!!! Don't say anything or HockeyMom's gonna yell at us.

The issue isn't whether your opinion is in alignment with mine. You're certain that you know exactly what should have been done. And yet, even with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, there's no way you can guarantee that the situation would have turned out any differently had your advice been followed.

Of course, you can guarantee that something like that would never have happened had everyone followed your simple advice.

Nothing is complicated on an Internet message board.

I think you're probably right.

So you'd prefer that Hakstol still not have a new contract?

For now, definitely yes. The nickname should stay.

And were there legitimate reasons for the delay? Funding issues? Budget issues? Facilities issues? My understanding is that there were. You are leaving out some important context. Buning didn't start his job reporting to a VP. He was at UND for two years before that happened. The measure was implemented last July at the request of others in the athletic department after it became apparent there were issues with the AD. So which way do you want it? If Kupchella hadn't cared, he could have simply let the situation continue as it was. Instead, he took action that resulted in Buning being removed. He does nothing and you complain. He does something and you complain. What do you want? You can't have it both ways. Criticize the man all you want, but at least be consistent about it and don't leave out important facts.

If they had a skating treadmill, then I'd be very concerned.

They're offended by hydrology?

And assorted loose change!

Don't force me to play hardball, dammit!
