Good penalty killing by the Sioux.

Sounds like MTU is ready to play tonight.

Me either.

I didn't criticize him. I made a suggestion. He doesn't have to do it, but I would appreciate it if he did.

By the way, does anyone know where Siouxrock was that night?

Sounds like being a mascot at SCSU is Hazzard-ous duty.

UMDDogz, please don't take my request personally. It's not that I don't appreciate your efforts or that I don't like knowing about what's going on in other WCHA games. But when I go to a thread to read about a Sioux game, I don't like having to scroll through a bunch of messages about a different game involving another team. Why not start a thread for the UMD game and post the updates there?

There's only one recap for all of the WCHA games, and that was for the one game that didn't matter. I wonder what's up with that? USCHO needs to buy me a wireless laptop and send me on the road with the Sioux.

No, it's because you haven't bought me enough beer.

Thanks! It was just like being there.

I had the same experience in Providence with Wisconsin fans. The ones I talked to were pulling for the Sioux. How can you dislike that? During the 2001 Final Five, I sat next to some SCSU fans. They were good guys and we had a great time at the tournment. Since then, I have a hard time saying anything bad about SCSU. I do find it easier to cheer against the Gophers than to cheer for them, but I'd always rather see a WCHA team beat a team from another conference, especially Hockey East.

With each other?

Why does this matter when Murray, Parise and Bochenski are no longer a line?

Not to be a jerk, but could I make a suggestion? If people are going to post scores from other games, could they start a new thread? It would be the polite thing to do.

I think Blais is looking ahead to Minnesota and he'd like to see him team doing some things better than they did tonight.

I had Bad Charlotte as my Windows wallpaper, but the wife didn't go for it.

Their stable sounds a lot like our stable.

Here's the link: http://gra.midco.net/nskavlem/ That'd be a good one to bookmark in your browser.

No. I e-mailed it to him because I thought it was funny. I didn't know that he'd use it in his column.

Self-promotion time. My feature article on Zach, Brady and Drew has been posted at US College Hockey Online. Here are some pictures from the article.

I knew that I shouldn't have bought my crystal ball at Sam's Club.

I'd like it to be fiction, but I guess we'll have to wait for the end of the season to find out. The North Dakota and Wisconsin series will give us a better idea of where the Gophers are in relation to the league's top teams.

Virg Foss quoted my mother about the officiating at Saturday's UND-UAA game. It's under the "Is there hope?" section of his column.

And don't make me uninvent it. Yours truly, Al
