My friends in the TC's all drank the Kool-Aid when those two signed with the team. Didn't help when Barry Melrose anointed the Wild a Stanley Cup favorite the very next day on ESPN. Despite the Red Wings moving to the east and the Winnipeg Jets moving to the west this season, they're STILL only a borderline playoff team.

Good heavens! If that's the next 11 champions, I'll join the call for Hakstol's head on a platter.

Could not agree more, Hayduke. As for the earlier comment from another poster, yes, I'd say I saw a HUGE difference between 2010 Parise and 2014 Parise.
-
Can we move the Parise/Suter contract talk over to the NHL thread?
-
I'm going to post my Suter/Parise reply to DaveK here instead of the Olympic thread... How do you propose to rein-in this collusion between players who are free agents? Rank them in the off-season and have rules in place where the same team can't sign them? I'm no Wild fan, but kudos to their owner for opening up the wallet instead of living on the memory of that 2003 team's run to the Western Conference finals with a bunch of low-paid nobodies on the roster.

Really? Kristallnacht in Duluth as Sioux sweep Bulldogs? UND Blowtorch Battalion Invades Duluth? Mein Kampf, Says Sandelin, After Sioux Sweep? Nothing says great sportswriting like throwing in some Nazi references, right? Or was that a thinly-veiled shot at Ralph Engelstad? Either way, find a better way to express yourself.

If Phil Kessel wore the "C" and made the comment "Finland played like they had somethin' to win," this place would be demanding that his letter be stripped off his jersey before the team got back to the locker room.

He's been AWOL for a while now...

Interesting...so which room will the Denver fan be staying in?
-
What a coincidence! Daddy WarPipes is having his two-year SiouxSports.com anniversary today. D WP...you're being called out...the Hoggsbreath is waitin' for ya!
-
So Canada clears it with Toews before naming Crosby the captain...but Parise has no influence on the American team?
-

Anyone...anyone...Bueller...anyone?

Not at a bar, but I did have that happen at a gas station/convenience store once. Had to stop there in the middle of the night when the car my friends and I were driving was dialed in on "E" on the gas gauge...in Gary, Indiana.

I wasn't so much looking forward as I was backwards - regardless of who wins the cup, I think it should be awarded to the team when they clinch, regardless of WHERE they clinch. The cup will get paraded in front of the home fans at some point anyways.

Regardless of what some folks here think, those conference championship banners are a nice addition to REA and I like seeing them hanging from the rafters. The trend lately (at least with the WCHA) has been to present the MacNaughton Cup to the victor at home. I thought it was a shame that when SCSU clinched their first title last year, that they were not handed the trophy on the road at Wisconsin. In fact, he trophy actually STAYED with Minnesota, who brought it with them to Bemidji, and was proudly displayed in the locker room after the Gophers clinched a share of the title. The trophy was then shipped to St Cloud, where it was presented to the team after their first-round WCHA playoff series. Kind of a**-backwards, if you ask me...

The first rule of talking to Wilbur's dad is: we do not talk about the Rube years. The second rule of talking to Wilbur's dad is: WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE RUBE YEARS!

99% of the fun last year was introductions and Sioux story-time... Which reminds me, did I ever tell you guys about the '98 regional?
-
Sheesh, Goon, I thought something funny was up, but, REALLY?
-
Dang...the girls making you take them to the Justin Bieber karaoke event at the MOA on Saturday morning?
-
Yea, gfhockey, and if I didn't throw Goon out, you'll probably be alright too, LOL.

None of the afore-mentioned names could carry Rube Bjorkman's jock strap. Just ask his biggest fan, Wilbur's dad, about the glory days of yore.
