Apparently it's not too early!

I think Detroit wins tonight...Boston takes game two.

Nice meltdown, Flyers.

Actually, I believe you mean THIS year was fun...

Tentative? You've got a year to make it happen. No excuses this time.

Typical SiouxSports.com negativity. Book it, brianvf.

Duly noted.

Might be a little early...I'm not sure folks are making travel plans yet.

Did you see Tampa Bay's goaltending last night? Anders Lindback is no Ben Scrivens!

I still have a couple of Hoggsbreath shirts left from this event. If you're interested in owning one, let me know.

Disagree totally on Wilcox. Totally NHL-ready. He's accomplished all he needs to at the 'U.' Time to take the next step!

Anders Lindback might not be the guy Tampa Bay needs in order to go far in the playoffs...not that his defense was a lot of help last night, but sheesh...

Hey, that reminds me...I can't wait to hear "Beyond the Pond" this weekend. Hopefully by then, Rau and Wilcox will both have signed pro contracts.

Reminds me of a great 2001 Final Five story...Gopher fans in front of me debating who to cheer for in the championship game (North Dakota vs St Cloud State). They chatted for a few seconds and finally one guy says this: "Gotta go with the Minnesota boys" and proceeds to fist-bump the other guy. "Yea, cheer for the Minnesota kids, not the Canadians," was the reply. I tapped one of the two guys on the shoulder as I handed him my tournament program. Told him to count the number of Minnesotans on St Cloud's roster and then count the number of them on North Dakota's roster and get back to me. You see, at the time, UND had more Minnesota kids than St Cloud did on the team. The one guy checks over the program and realizes that I'm right. He tosses the game program over his shoulder (literally, without warning) and mumbles "f*** you...I'm still cheering for St Cloud."

Whoa, whoa, whoa, NDH...step back from the ledge! Of course there's a lot more to life than GPL and SiouxSports.com...the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs are on TV!

Watch the replay of the game-winning goal...it happened so fast, it was hard to catch. I don't blame the officials on that one at all.

What was it in regards to? What's your call-sign over there? Sure doesn't sound like Jupiter...

No doubt, SiouxScore! This Tampa Bay vs Montreal game is fun to watch.

I honestly haven't had that problem...where have you seen/heard that?

He can't. That thread is now closed over on GPL.

I like the Tampa Bay Maple Leafs over the Canadiens in 6...

I'd agree with you on that. One team chose to rush up the ice and try to score. Mission accomplished.

If Rocco doesn't turn his head the wrong way after Holl's stick smacks him in the cage, these two teams might still be playing right now...

1975...Michigan Tech 1988...LSSU 1991...Northern Michigan 1992...LSSU 1994...LSSU I know the gap from 1976-1988 is kind of long, but that's 5 NCAA championships for 'da UP in a span of 20 seasons. It sure would be nice to see those three schools catch lightning in a bottle again.
