No trip for me. On-call today and then I have to teach the butler how to properly fold and put away my boxers . Addendum: OTH sprays it worse off the tee than my 2 year old peeing into the wind!

It is not the D.O.G. line , Hrk but I'll take it!!

BLASPHEMY !! Edit: For the record, I think Lapoint has looked ok for a frosh D-man in the WCHA.

Kozek then steps in with Zajac and Frattin?? That sets up for a solid 3rd line as well. Will be interseting to see if Davidson stays on the 4th line tonight. Hope he does as I like what he brought last Sat.

Love Trupp's tenacity and he'll click with Osh and Dunc. I say Trupp gets at least 2 goals this weekend playing with those 2. Sioux Sweep 5-0, 5-0

Didn't Miller have a hat trick at Mankato last year?? Maybe he gets another shot on the top line because of that, but I would like to see what Kozek could on that line as well (since Hak shot down the Genoway combo).

Was going to mention that earlier but didn't want to get burned at the stake. He should come back, dominate as UND's top forward next year and then see what happens after that.

1) Just a hunch, but PCM probably got sick of constant personal attacks that were being tossed all over the place. 2) Whenever Triouxper didn't feel your point of view was on par with his, he politely expressed that you were an idiot and you needed to "pull your head out of your a**" and then he really went to work... Apparently some got tired of it as did the moderators. Again just a hunch.

Moon Pies!! Eating one is like having a party in your mouth!?

Thanks for breaking it down for those who think we were promoting fighting for the sake of fighting ! Jutting's a tool!

Lapoint and Finley would work and leave Jones with Marto. But the issue I see is if a D-man gets hurt, you couldn't pull Genoway off the top line for D and put Miller back in there. Radke to D? Fun to think about but I don't see it happening

I know Hak really likes Genoway on the blueline, but putting him with Oshie and Duncan really intrigues me the more I think about it.

Agree and 2 Ws are the most important aspect to the weekend, but...

Have you seen the Mavs play over the past few years?? If we are fortunate to be up by 4-5 goals, it will get chippy and UND will not have started it, but this time I think UND will end it based off of last year's garbage. So would that be classless--your call? Revengeful--maybe? I don't advocate fighting for fighting, but if the Mavs try anything, I don't see our guys taking it this weekend.

I smell what the Hrk is cooking!

Was thinking the same thing. I think UND comes out flying, gets a comfortable lead 4 or 5 goal lead and then Hak unleshes the dogs as the game winds down! MSU the epitome of classlessness when it come to college hockey! And as a storied program, we don't take kindly to that!

My case in point...

Since Stafford is not here anymore to get us a shorty every other game, we need to try to stay out of the box alittle more.

You might not be a chef/cook, but if you go to out for dinner and the food is not good, you should have a right to comment on the food. If you are not a doctor, but you feel that your care was less than what you expected from your doctor, you have a right to voice your concern. If you have never played hockey before, but are a knowledgable fan and you feel a player is not playing up to his potential, you should have the right to comment on that.

This thread's initial post seems to suggest that if you are not in total support of all things Sioux sports, you are a "bad apple" and need to be voted off the island. To even suggest that is irrational at best. It seem though, as I previously mentioned, that this is the mentality by some that is causing the rift among some posters and unfortunately driving some posters away .

I was noticing the same thing. There seems to be an underlying current by some on this site that anything said not in total support of a player, coach or team is blasphemy . I'll try in the future to post only uplifting and inspirational topics...i.e. puppies, sunsets, fields of wild flowers...

That's what I was trying to get at. I know the story was not about positives and that why there are some who are upset. And again I can see their point as well.

Agree, our state is what it is on the issues you and NG mentioned, but those in "defense" seem to feel that more could have been said by NG on the positives of ND to which I can understand as well.
