[More Nickname Insanity]

All I can say is...

Wow.

I'm more offended by the name "IronPigs" than I am by "Pork Chop." I once broke a tooth while eating a pork chop made from an iron pig.

[Fire on Ice]

Are you suppose to use water on a fuel (gasoline/propane) fire??

I use vodka, but that's just me.

[Bubble Hockey Clash]

I remember when table hockey was played with no bubble and a puck that featured a heavy ball bearing. That baby could knock out a tooth when it left the rink!

[Sioux vs. Gophers]

That sounds like something John Madden would say!

Everyone knows he stole it from me!

[Sioux vs. Gophers]

When 2 good teams play, only 1 can win.

The team that scores the most goals will win.

[Sioux vs. Gophers]

We better come to play.

This will be a battle.

[Bubble Hockey Clash]

Hopefully he fires out a jersey pop or two.

Won't matter. Blaiser will have the glove flash going. Woog will be too distracted.

[Nicknam]

That's good!

A little scary, but good.

[Facilities Master Plan]

You guys just don't get it. MplsBison is obviously is close personal friends of Ron His Horse Is Thunder and Myles Brand. He knows what they're thinking even before they say it. Therefore, I see no reason to believe that he can't also read the minds of every potential major UND donor. He's that good.

[New nickname or none?]

Or as 'PCM' calls it, "when my career started".

We didn't consider the Mandan News a competitor.

[Vikings SUCK!]

Fire Chilly!

[goaltending]

Lamoureux isn't the problem. Defense isn't the problem. Lack of scoring has been the problem.

[Bubble Hockey Clash]

If Campion is reffing, I gotta go with the Wooger. No way can Blais kill off 20 powerplays.

[sioux at denver sat night]

That right there was a low blow!!!

The truth hurts!

[sioux at denver sat night]

I'm glad WCHA officiating has returned to normal.

[sioux at denver sat night]

The marbles have returned.

[sioux at denver sat night]

One more goal and Hak can start the trap.

[sioux at denver sat night]

When I think fertilizer spreader, I think Gwoz.

You're bad!

[sioux at denver sat night]

Is Gwoz wearing gardening gloves?

I'm not sure, but I'll bet he has the fertilizer spreader loaded with sand waiting just out of sight in the tunnel.

[sioux at denver sat night]

This ice has sucked all weekend. Puck bouncing everywhere. Either that or they don't know how to freeze pucks.

Maybe since Gwoz figured he couldn't get away with throwing sand on the ice, he did the next best thing.

[sioux at denver sat night]

I'm sorry, but I don't understand this officiating. Last night, the Sioux were a bunch of hacks who couldn't stay out of the box. Tonight, the Pioneers are a bunch of hacks who can't stay out of the box.

Did it get too difficult to keep track of the marbles in the pocket?

[For Your Consideration]

It is good for a sports team though because it is about domination. The NCAA can't criticize us for a name they can relate too. If they did we would have to ask why since they are the imperials of college sports rules and regulations.

I'm not worried about what the NCAA thinks of the name. I'm more worried about linking "Imperials" with the Engelstad name, given his past problems.

On the plus side, we'd be called the Imps and we could use Calvin the comic character for our logo.

[For Your Consideration]

Imperialism does carry something of a negative connotation.

[Sioux vs Denver]

I'll give you 2 period BC game in the fog, but if we are having to STEAL a game from Northeastern...Ouch!! Although I do recall JPL making 30+ saves in the shutout of NE. Was hunting that weekend so I'll accept your opinion.

Don't look now, but Northeastern is currently at the top of Hockey East. There's a chance that UND's win at Northeastern will prove significant in the pairwise rankings.

I watched the webcast of the UND-Northeatern game. Trust me. Without Lamoureux's play, the Sioux could have been down 3-0 before they ever scored a goal. And we know how well this team plays from behind.

[Sioux vs Denver]

When has UND stole one this year more less won a game they shouldn't have lost i.e. last Sat vs. UMD.

I would classify UND's 3-0 win at Northeastern as a game Phil stole. He also played exceptionally well in the fog game against BC. Otherwise, that could easily have gone down as a loss.

You can keep squandering opportunities and not expect it to bite you in the onions at some point.

What bothers me the most is that Hak's teams are 0-23 when trailing after two periods. They haven't come back to win a game since mid-February of 2006 at UAA. That's no coincidence. It's a very troubling trend and goes staight to Sicatoka's point about the lack urgency.
