And not playing Zach in no way shows that it isn't. The day Parise signed with the Devils, Blais noted that the coaches determine who plays and who doesn't. Within days of Parise's signing, Devils coach Pat Bruns was quoted as saying that he didn't want Parise in the lineup because it could interfere with team chemistry. This is a coaching decision. I doesn't mean that NJ's organization isn't among the best in the NHL or that their ability to judge and develop talent has suddenly disappeared.

Not to me, and I've worked at UND for 12 years. I'm certainly no accountant, but I do know that battles over seemigly trivial expenses and penny pinching are a way of life at the university. No department can spend money it doesn't have. Apparently some have forgotten what happened several years ago during a previous adminstration when deficits in some departments were covered by shifting funds from other departments. It wasn't pretty.

Politically motivated or not, Roger's explanation makes sense.

This information appears to be very old.

I know how disappointed you must be, UMDDogz, but Bulldogs had a great run. Denver's a much better team than anyone knew and I wouldn't be surprised if they won it all.

I watched the last period of UMD-DU on TV when I went home for lunch. The ESPN2 play-by-play guy sounded like he needed a nap and would fall asleep any minute. That was quite a shock after listening to the Duluth radio guys babbling like schoolgirls on meth.

I posted here that I thought the team that won the WCHA Final 5 championship would win the national title. Where do I go for my hot and tasty serving of crow?

The Hobey voting was done last week.

The Hobey was decided last week.

UMD scores on the power play. They lead 3-1. 3:38 left in the second period.

If I remember correctly, DU is 17-0-2 when Luke Fulghum gets a point.

UMD's still leading 2-0 with more than half the second period gone. DU had some great opportunities, but Reichmuth made big saves. Edit: Never mind. UMD 2, DU 1

Duluth radio announcer says DU is dominating the second period. Dora rings a shot off the post. Pioneers go on the power play.

5-0. But it still hurts.

The Bulldogs had a good first period, but I wouldn't be too quick to write off Denver. One goal by the Pioneers and it's a different game.

I don't blame them a bit for being excited. Heck, I would be, too. It's just tough to figure out what's going on at times.

First period ends with UM-Duluth on the power play. It's still Bulldogs 2, Pioneers 0.

Man, I'm getting tired of the Duluth radio announcers talking over each other and interupting each other. They're too excited. They need to settle down.

I can't help but wonder how much different the UND-DU game would have been if Ryan Hale had scored seconds into the game.

Denver and Berkhoel have played up and down all season. The Sioux got them when they were up. Sounds like the Bulldogs are getting the Pioneers when they're down.

Lessard scores on a power play. UMD 1, DU 0.

No.

You're still not getting it, Basil. You know absolutely nothing about Canady, what type of classes he's taking, what he's majoring in or how well he's doing in school. You're simply assuming that you know, and you don't. You are rapidly becoming the poster child for what happens to those who ass-U-me too much.

You should have quit before you dug the hole deeper. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and only make a bigger fool out of yourself every time you post.
