You better hope someone else does because UND has won very few games when the other lines haven't contributed.

The key to beating UND is not just containing the DOT Line. The key to to keep the other Sioux lines off the scoreboard.

Neither Wisconsin, UAA nor Michigan Tech are still playing. The two WCHA teams that finished ahead of UND in the league standings and made it into the NCAA playoffs were 1-5-2 against the Sioux.

As I recall, 2000 in Providence was the same way.

True, but it's not as if he has no playoff experience. He does. If the Sioux play their game, Lamoureux won't have to be great, just good.

Chay Genoway had to add color to his playoff beard so it would be visible.

Do you think you can get a Nike rep to come to Grand Forks for that?

A reliable source tells me that Nike wants to know if the Sioux will be wearing the black Swift jerseys on Thursday so the company can make a big deal about them on ESPN. The way I see it, if that happens, I'm off the hook.

Should I hire a lawyer?

Also known as the "Money for Nothing Line."

Thanks. This is what Nike's news release says:

The real Money Line. Accept no substitutes. According to the article about T.J. Oshie written by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Oshie, Toews and Duncan played on the same line as freshman. There's another future myth to quash.

That's not yellow. It's Vegas Gold.

The story has been posted at USCHO. I used the poll results from here, but no quotes. It was just getting too long.

Caught! Right after I hacked the starting lineups at collegehockeystats.net, I fired up Photoshop to create a fictitious magazine cover. I guess I really do have too much time on my hands.

I covered every single home game the one season that Stafford, Bochenski and Parise all played for UND. Did Mr. Snow? I know for a fact that those three very rarely played together as a line. The link I provided to collegehockeystats.net, which is the official record, backs me up on this. I have recordings of the 2004 WCHA Final Five. Who's on UND's first line for both games? Murray, Parise and Bochenski. I also have recordings of the 2004 West Regionals in Colorado Springs. Who's on UND's first line for both those games? Murray, Parise and Bochenski. I'm not saying that Stafford, Bochenski and Parise never played together because Blais made a practice of juggling lines throughout games. It's certainly possible that they played more than the one game they started together as a line. It's possible that they were on the ice at the same time on the power play. If you still don't believe me, how do you explain this?

We have a wide selection from which to choose.

I have no idea.

It has nothing to do with being offended. I simply don't want anyone to think that I clear my USCHO articles through UND because it doesn't happen. You'd be amazed at how many people think it does.

Me too.

As previously stated, I thought the comment was a joke, but I know from experience that people sometimes take such things seriously. Even if it wasn't serious to you, it was to me.

I've never written an article about Cory Schneider and he's given up 11 goals the last two times the Sioux have played against him. Why would you want to mess with that?

You know that Sappy and I will do all we can to keep it going.

Nope.
