Score update?

I figured I'd move this out of the Olympics thread...maybe the problem with lack of recent league championships is the corny team name - Liberty Bail Bonds obviously for their cash contribution and IceHoggs as a sort of spin-off of the Hoggsbreath. I'm thinking of doing a total re-brand like the New Orleans Hornets to New Orleans Pelicans...only way more sinister...I just need to come up with a logo that will work...and some cash for some new uniforms... How about RED ARMY?

I don't expect Mandan to get it done. 2 out of 4 would be nice though.

Weren't you watching Starman and Holden last week? According to Holden, the Penrose Cup that he so gleefully showed off with his white gloves last Friday night, is the NCHC tournament trophy. It will be handed out at Target Center in a few weeks. Nice work, CBSSN...and thanks for the reply to my e-mail.

OK, moving on...I'm going to start my own broomball thread so that critique can continue elsewhere and we can get back to discussing Olympic hockey here... predictions for tonight's games? Western sweep!

Dang. I've been gone from ND a long time. Last time I recall hearing anything about West Fargo, Bart Inniger was still playing bouncey ball for the Packers.

WWDD?

Isn't this their SECOND hockey medal then? I think they won their first one this morning.

Steve Yzerman never got tossed from a game...neither has this #19.

Century against Grand Forks Sacred Heart in the next game, right?

Go Demons go!

08, 10, and 12...the evil empire.

I'm the women's Team USA of co-rec broomball in Roseville.

Lower level scrubby D league broomball? You can't be serious! Pompous prick. Let's compare W-2's...wait...let's not.

I agree, Wilbur, and am definitely catching heat from the fans. I don't play broomball for the regular season champion t-shirts - I play for the playoff trophies stacked away in a box in my garage somewhere. No excuse this season - 6-0-1 record in the regular season, then 1-1 in the playoffs. Maybe I won't tell MafiaBoy and will just let him think his dad is the same great player he was about seven years ago when he scored a league-record 8 goals in one game. The great ones always know when it's time to hang 'em up...perhaps I'm just the Minnesota version of Willie Mays trying to play outfield for the New York Mets...

It gets easu to cath after a whyle.

gfhockey fever...it's catchy!

That's two years in a row my team has been upset - last year as the #2 seed losing the semi-final to the #3 seed and this year as the #1 seed losing the championship game to the #3 seed. How long will I tolerate mediocrity? It's obvious my system doesn't work. Most talented team in the league...some former state indoor and outdoor champions on this team. How come I can't motivate them? It's time...to fire myself.

I haven't felt this crappy about a loss since...well...since last night when my broomball team blew the championship game of the playoffs.

Where is the puking emoticon when I need it?

I agree that it was a bs call...but, again, you KNOW the officials are going to try to even things up. Why even put yourself into the situation? And just before that breakaway...how about you hit the waiting left-handed shooter with a pass ON HER STICK as opposed to the opposite-hand side? Pass gets fumbled, picked off, and skated down the other way...while USA player #3 is skating off on a line change? Good grief...FIRE HAKSTOL!

Good point. Although I think in terms of (un)popularity here on the board, gfhockey is the equivalent of Lyndon B Johnson...and that makes us Barry Goldwaters.

You DIDN'T want a penalty called on the Canuck for using her stick to slam the US player onto the back of her head?
