DAR

Wish I could be there, cheer loud give the boys that added boost.

Good for him, I expect he will have a big impact next year. He will probably be the second line center replacing Lundbohm if (LET's HOPE) everyone is back. He is big, strong, good skater, and can put the puck in the net. Pretty good combination.

If not the Sioux anyone but the Goofers, cannot take another year of their fans.

This is a team the Sioux should thoroughly dominate. Just roll the 4 lines and the 3 d-pairs and we will be able to rest the top guys at the end of the game for Sat.

I was in the club level in row 7, right in front of the standing room crowd. A guy behind me was yapping quite a bit we exchanged unpleasantries a few times but then we found out we went to the same high school and he did not direct his comments at me anymore. That is the only bad experience I had with the Goofer fans. The club level is more sane as it is easier to monitor problems. Skarperud was in the bathroom between periods of the Fri night game and some Goofer fans were really giving him s&!t. He did not back down though and the other couple of Sioux fans in there kind of joined in, lots of back and forth. That was the most disappointing part of the loss, to see those A#@hole fans gloat. I sure HOPE we get the last laugh!!!

I was not trying to imply that Greene is not NHL material. Only the most talented players leave college after 2 years and I would not put Greene in the class of the MOST talented players in the college game. Greene needs another year of seasoning and Blais will tell him that if he seeks his advice. Besides isn't there something to be said for trying to hang a banner before you bolt for the NHL, that is the bad part about college sports. I hate to admit it but I do say in that respect the Gopher players seem to have more loyalty to the program.

Yeah Fuher and Smaby were great. If Jones and Greene had played their normal game, it would have been a different story. Bina did not cover the front of the net on Potulny's goal and Schneider could not dig the puck out. That pairing was average at best as well. Taylor is the biggest goon of all the Goofers, I cannot stand him. Vanek is just plain lazy, even the Goofer fans sitting by me were constantly yellin at Vankek to move his feet. Parise is the better player and you won't find many arguments even from Goofer fans after this weekend.

I agree that Greene has made good strides since last season but he will be in the AHL if he leaves after this year. It is a much bigger transition to the NHL than even these players realize. Edmonton is a financially strapped team so they will not be throwing out big bonuses.

Fuher and Smaby were the best pair on the ice Sat. Greene is not ready for the NHL. He will be here one more year. The way he turned the puck over Sat. He did not even look like he should have been on the ice. If he thinks he can play in the NHL after two years of college he is a fool. Look at Mike Commodore. He was more polished than Greene and he left after his junior year and he cannot stay in the show. Greene will be in the AHL for a long time if he jumps ship before he should

UMD Dogz, Do you have any report on the status of the injured players Lessard, Hambly, Brosz ? I want to see Duluth play with all hands on deck. Any updates would be greatly appreciated. If you get by State I like your chances against the Goofies on neutal ice.

Thank You for showing Sioux hockey. I am there many weekends and have spent a good amount of $ watching the Sioux throughout the season.

yeah like Frankie Rickard! ha ha j/k

Frankie, wouldn't dare show his face. He is one of those cybergeeks who hides behind his computer.

I will be in section 112 row 14, but may also be moving around depending on empty seats. I think I am behind at least part of the netting and I hate those darn things.

Anyone heard if he is going to officially play? It said in Virg's column that he is questionable (groin injury). We do not want to be shorthanded at this time of the year.

I took a look at the USHL stats for the 3 Sioux recruits playing in the USHL. Looks like Beaverson is a -8, tied for worst on the team. He also leads the team in penalty minutes which is not so good if you are a -8. He looks like he will be a project, I wonder if he will play another year at Green Bay as he will not see ice time here next year with everyone back plus Radke, which leaves Bina as the extra d-man.

Yeah, Frankie Rickard- yeah as the fans (especially students) say when a basketball player fouls out or a hockey player goes to the box......WWHHHHHHHOOOOOOAAAAA SSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE YYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

Nice pic Iceburg!

Ok, all the ranting is over let's just not respond to this a-hole anymore and he will go away. Hey Frankie, class is starting, get off the computer and get to class it is obvious you are behind in school.

Frank you are a fool and fans of both teams know it. You are probably some 15 year old kid. Get off the computer before you get grounded. Gopher fans do not appreciate this on POI and neither do we. Now do your homework, by your spelling you must be behind in school.

By the way Frank Rickard section 207 is not the club level so I doubt you are even going to be at the X. Green with envy aren't you Frank?

Frank Rickard you are complete trash, get the hell off our board you loser. GO to POI, posters like you are not welcome. TROLL!!!

Duluth will not be playing with a full squad. For that reason I have to givr thr Fri. night edge to the Goofies. I will be rooting for UMD though. My prediction 1. UND 2. UMN 3. UMD 4. CC 5. UAA

While you are in the minority because most Goofer fans would not cheer for UND under any circumstance either.

The defense has certainly helped but both have bailed the team out on a number of occasions this year. Both have had good years and a good d in front of you helps but you still have to make the key saves, and for the most part the goalies have done that this year.
