Big A HG

Toews just had a rocket wrister to tie the game against Columbus. Beat the goalie high glove side...never had a chance. Sweet goal.

Find out what Turris' mom's name is and figure out her phone number, then put it on a sign. That should be distracting enough.

Oh, they look real good. I like them a lot. I have both a home and away. Also I got my 87 retros done too (Hrkac/Belfour).

Whoops...my bad... And which jersey are you talking about? I've got a few different retros? I'm taking pix soon.

Uhhh, don't remember Holy Cross?

Great post, so true.

Fire Hak...

Badgers sweep, then Sioux get back on track straight through the regular season.

14 actually

Yeah, I'm such a baller...

Nice pics! The only problem is you took the picture while I was too busy yelling stuff, otherwise I would have smiled for the camera! At least I have my game-worn swift on.

A couple of the guys from this team came to the mall while I was working. I talked to them a bit. They are a junior team out of Canada just down to watch. I asked what their names were and didn't recognize either (nor remember what they were).

I think Lapoint is one of our top 4 defensemen right now. He hasn't had any costly mistakes, he puts himself in some of the best positions out of anyone on the team, and he never tries to force anything with the puck that could lead to stupid turnovers. Also, when in transition to defense, he plays the body of the opponent really well and usually never lets anyone past. Along with that, he's been more physical than I thought he would be. He isn't going to be a bone crusher (yet), but I think he's been doing exactly what he should. Opposed from that, I thought last night was probably his worst game he played this year. He was a hard skater at times, but he was out of position a lot as well. Just my $.02. Now all the GF locals are gonna stone me.

Nope, wasn't kidding...I didn't make it up.

I think it will be the same lines as what we saw Saturday at MTU. The VV-Osh-Duncs line combined for 4 out of the 6 goals, so to say that Duncs hasn't contributed I'd say is wrong, he just hasn't put it in the net as often. Teams are pressuring Duncan more than ever, which will just leave more oppurtunities for Chris and TJ. I'm not saying a line change won't happen, I just don't think it's likely. I'd still like to see a Oshie-Kozek-Duncan line, even though the sticks wouldn't match up right. Those guys would fly and they are all snipers.

The replicas aren't...they are the same material as the regular replicas, except they have some venting areas, like the real jerseys.

Saw it on the WCHA site today: Click here

As Sioux-cia said, they aren't, but there might be a movement to them in the next year or two. However, that may not be the case either depending on how/when Nike leaves the hockey market since they are planning on doing that. We shall see. If we went Reebok, they could potentially have their RBK Edge jerseys (similar to Nike Swift), however, as mentioned already, they've had problems with those in the NHL.

The one guy looks hostile and abusive.

I think they'll fit snugger slightly, but they are the same materials as the other replicas. Nothing like the authentics.

I've never heard of autograph signing, but if you hang out near the visitor bench about an hour before the game, he might be around or ask a coach or something, I'm sure they will hook you up if you are nice about it.

A swift jersey is nothing like the regular black jerseys except the obvious...they are both black. The swift jersey is a new style of jersey by Nike first introduced to college hockey last year (is used in international play as well). They are form fitting (a snug fit, not a loose fit), the materials are way different, and the striping on the jersey is different as well. Fonts and number styles are different as well for names/numbers. The reason they are popular is because the Sioux used it as an alternate away jersey last year and it was used in some of the most important games down the stretch, including the entire post-season (Frozen Four appearance). The black jersey you have won't be used ever again (according to sources). Hope this helps

I was there a few days ago and they didn't have them...they haven't had the authentics for a long time as far as I can remember. Game worns are nice....definitely WAAAAAAAY different than the replicas. The K1 version at Scheel's is way closer to my game-worn compared to the Nike one. The only thing that makes the Nike one closer is the swoosh on it...big deal. Also the K1 version is 40 bux cheaper.

Ralph dying is a significant occurance. A once-in-a-dynasty happening. I don't see them wearing blacks just for fun this year, or ever.

K1 version is better IMO.
