It depends on when you went to school there. When I was at SDSU, every football game between the two schools was a fiercely contested battle.
Did they have football back in the 1600s?

Lundbohm is playing for HC Sierre. I believe it is a German league, I haven't been able to figure out how he is doing, because none of the sites I visit are in english. I was able to kinda translate one post by a fan that said Lundbohm was a huge addition to the team and that some other guy was not as good as Brian.

Since nobody can agree on what should be done...how about we all just imagine what it would be like with 1/3 of the lower bowl all students who are standing. How much amazing fun would that be? This would become the hardest place to play in college hockey...and you would still have the entire arena sold out, because there is still a pretty good demand for tickets.

Don't be. Minnesota, undoubtedly watched videos of our previous games and noticed how BC had success drawing penalties by diving. Grant dove because it is easy to make a check look cheap from Greene and Schmitt doesn't like Greene (though not nearly to the extent Shep and Anderson do). Trying to take advantage of this?
I hope it was because they watched some video of BC and not because that is how they normally play. The only thing that impressed me this weekend about Potulny, was that he should have gone to UND...not for hockey, but for diving. Perhaps the crappie sign was appropriate, as Grant was flopping around like one all weekend.

Fleming who scored the goal said it went five-hole, but from what I saw I don't know how that is possible.
I thought it went 5-hole too. There was just a tiny opening (puck sized) about knee high and it snuck in there.

No it couldn't. Scoring against the Gophers to get the Sioux back in the game, absolutely great. And the smile he had when being interviewed by Hennan in the post game show was great too. Did anyone pick the puck up for Matt? I was too busy jumping around that he actually scored a goal.
Zach dove into the net to get the puck for Matt.

You will probably never see a line this talented for a long time. Lets hope we see it again next year!
Just the thought of that makes me giddy with joy
100 goals, 200 points this year, 150/250 next? I don't think I could handle that much excitement.

I think a lot of you are looking at it the wrong way. I think many people have the same mentality as they did last year, so they think that Blais doesn't trust Brandt, but I don't think that is the case at all. Obviously, Blais sees something very special in JPar as well as Brandt.
Personally, I would prefer a two-goalie system (ala MN Wild) so that way if one doesn't play well, we have the other guy right there, who has a lot of exp in net this year. If Brandt has a bad game, I don't want Blais to have to rely on a goalie who has only played a couple NC games early on. Brandt has played outstanding, JPar has the ability to be as good as Brandt is now and Blais sees that. Just because you don't agree with Brandt not starting every game, doesn't mean that Blais is making a wrong decision.

Central Scouting released its 2003-2004 players to watch list...
Zajac is one of only 3 players to make the A list from the BCHL.

Only problem with padding their stats for those games is that Parise will be gone for the Xmas tourney games and the early Jan SCSU series because of the World Jr's, so that might hurt the line's numbers a little bit.
There also is the possibility of Murray being gone for those games with either Canada or the USA.
-
Porter was very impressive Friday night and if he keeps it up, he will be the biggest surprise. Considering Murray and Stafford are on 1st and 2nd lines respectively they are almost expected to perform well, however if Porter gets some ice time, he will impress very much.
-
If the Gophers somehow manage to quit taking stupid penalties and making unbelievable turnovers, they will gain a split.
If they play like they have so far this year, Gophs are lucky to get a point.
May i suggest that the Gophers focus on not making the turnovers. Getting stupid penalties against UND hasn't hurt anybody yet. So far all it does is tire out the PK unit for the other team, leading to some pretty good 5v5 action by the Sioux.

It's nice to see UMD doing so well. I have no problem with them winning every game for the rest of the season...except they are obviously going to lose to UND.
-
So they're pretty much going to have to average 3 goals for a game for the entire line. That's going to be very tough to do, however I think games like Yale/Brown/Wayne St./UAA are going to be necessary to help them "pad their stats." I think if they can at least average 2+ gpg then they are going to be in very good position to reach 100. Considering Bucks was able to pick up 3 vs a very good BC team, there is a lot of possibilities for this line.
Only problem is...we have to think of a new name for them as "line of fire" is copyrighted by Panzer/Lundbohm/Bayda.
I don't think I ever head blais set a certain amount of points for the line...however 200 would be a very nice goal to reach. So far after 5 games...the line has amassed 24 points (10 goals, 14 assists) and are the 1, 2 and 3 scoring leaders for the Sioux.
-
While shutouts do matter to a goalie...they aren't extremely important. Especially not against a team like Yale. That's like saying you swept UAA...not the hardest thing in the world to do.
I think Jake knows that having 2+ good goaltenders with great confidence is better for the team than just having 1 with a bunch of shutouts. Blaiser knows whats going on...I trust him and considering he has done that whole 2 Nat. Champs thing...I guess I can let him run the best team in the nation.

I was at the game for the 1st 2 periods (had to leave because someone else needed the camera) and Parise was not looking very good. Either of them. Zach looked about a step slow and you could tell he was still favoring his leg a little bit. The 2nd Yale goal made Adam Houser's five hole look tiny. It was a right side backhander that caught the inside of Jordan's right pad and slid between his legs. On the 1st one, it just slipped right underneath him, howeer it was a pretty hard shot from about 10 feet out.
Genoway was a pimp like whoa tonight. His goal was amazing, he was being hauled down by two guys and just flipped it up and in as he went down. Quite the goal. Stafford's goal was also pretty clutch, he's going to be pretty good. Porter was all over the ice tonight, and he has been a very nice suprise. Give him 30 points possibly this season.
Good offense, horrible goaltending, ok defense by the Sioux tonight. I give them a B- for their overall performance. No way you should give up 4 goals to any team, yet alone Yale with as few shots as they had.

The Devils activated RW Turner Stevenson off the injured list and placed rookie D David Hale on it with a groin injury

Its a chant the students have done for at least a couple years (although its died down lately due to stricter rules)
"Anderson needs a goat, Anderson needs a goat, Anderson needs a goat, so he won't f**k us!"
However, often it has been changed to a sheep for shepherd

My favorite NHL team is Pittsburgh
That right there is your problem

The Sioux are also at the bottom of the WCHA standings

Could tonight really get any better?
Great job Duluth, it was a good idea of us to let you borrow our coach for a little while.

Posted on ESPN.com:
MINNEAPOLIS -- Left wing Pascal Dupuis signed a three-year contract with the Minnesota Wild, his agent said Saturday. The team wouldn't confirm there was a deal.
Agent Allan Walsh said the deal was completed Friday night, but he wouldn't release any financial terms.
"He signed a contract that was fair for both sides," Walsh said.
Dupuis had 20 goals and 28 assists, and led the club with a plus-17 rating last season.
A team spokesman said the team wouldn't publicly announce the signing until Sunday because it would have to reassign a player to make room for Dupuis on the 23-man roster.
Dupuis arrived Saturday morning in Tampa, Fla., although not in time to practice with his teammates before the Wild's match against the Lightning. The 20-goal scorer skated for 45 minutes with assistant coach Mario Tremblay, but he won't immediately return to the lineup.
"All I can say is I'm happy to be here and I'm happy to see the guys," Dupuis told the St. Paul Pioneer Press at the team hotel Saturday afternoon.
Walsh rejected the team's first two offers to Dupuis. Earlier this month, Walsh said Dupuis was considering offers to play in Europe this year if the Wild didn't make a better offer.
Star right wing Marian Gaborik is still without a contract. He scored 30 goals and became the Wild's first All-Star last season.
Without the two holdouts, the Wild have struggled on offense this season. The team is 2-5-1 and in last place in the Northwest Division with only five points.
Both players are represented by the Beverly Hills Sports Council. Walsh's partner, David Schatia, has been handling most of Gaborik's negotiations lately, but Walsh said Saturday that both agents are co-representing him.

Let's hope they can get Gabby signed and put all of this behind them.
Fighting Sioux name and logo
in UND Nickname

Thanks for your comments. A majority of Native Americans (specifically Sioux) actually enjoy the logo and feel it honors them, however there are a few (mainly caucasian) who feel that it is disrespectful. I only know one Native American who doesn't believe the Sioux logo/name is appropriate and I know 5 who think it is.
