So you're saying you're anti-Mapletoft? I think it's time for a lynching

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.

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.

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.

I thought it went 5-hole too. There was just a tiny opening (puck sized) about knee high and it snuck in there.

Zach dove into the net to get the puck for Matt.

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.

Go to http://centralscouting.nhl.com click on the enter password link username = public access password = hockey 2004 Then click on the "Players to Watch" link on the left...then on the "'03 Players to Watch" link. It will open in microsoft word.

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.

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.

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

That right there is your problem

The Sioux are also at the bottom of the WCHA standings

Lucky me, I have a ticket connection too now I know a guy who's dad knows the guy who dresses up as the Marron Loon mascot, im so set.

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. And in other news... Yankees Payroll - $164 million Marlins Payroll - $63 million Watching an old man piss away $164 million - Priceless
