Nope, it was a tripping penalty. I was trying to push the ball up along the boards and ran into a guy. He completely "LeBronned" a belly-flop onto the ice and the referee bought it hook, line, and sinker. The linesman was laughing as I was crawling into the penalty box.

5-2 winners. 1 assist, 1 goal, and 1 penalty. Not a bad night's work.

The neonpelican has been located! We're down to one straggler payment. Wreckincrew...where are you? Shopping for watches with smokey the cat or workin' on the rig with gfhockey?

Broomball tonight: 8:30 pm game - against the team that won the title last year. Time for some revenge.

I am also aware that on certain smart phones (like my iPhone 4), finding PM's isn't as easy as looking at your PC screen. That was also another reason to put a post on this thread regarding outstanding payments. It certainly wasn't done to embarrass or 'call out' anyone. Frozen4Sioux, I haven't mailed your hat yet...I will PM you with the totals and you can debate whether you want me to mail it or have my folks drop it off in Dickinson in March-April.

The Philadelphia Flyers are absolutely en fuego!

I didn't do this to play Santa Claus, smokey. I did it because I thought it would be a neat idea, especially considering the demise of the Sioux nickname and the likely upcoming name change to SiouxSports.com. Corny? Yea. A lot of time and hassle? Probably. But it's a pretty cool conversation piece. I'm glad you're so willing to be so generous with my money. Since you didn't buy one and don't owe me any money yourself, perhaps you can take a break from posting on this thread and go out and buy yourself a nice new watch.

This isn't about "shaming" anybody into payment...

I'm trying to cut folks a little slack given the holidays and the fact that I did tell everyone to be patient until the bill arrived in my mailbox from Coaches Choice and I had a few days to calculate everyone's total including the S&H breakdown...could be a simple case of much bigger things going on at the moment...hopefully will be resolved in a few days. Hopefully...

Any truth to the rumor that Al's bus is stopping at Aphten's Attic for pre-game festivities?

Sioux-per hockey fan...present and accounted for. 2 down, 2 to go.

9 weeks away from the Hoggsbreath brunch... Wilbur...are you and your dad planning on making the trip to Sacred Canada, er, Little Heart, no, wait, Little Canada in March? Will Oxbow6 be shopping at the Mall of America or make an appearance at the Hogger? NorthDakotaHockey says he wants more meat this year, whatever that means. Can Goon google-map his way to Highway 36 and Rice Street or is the move from St Paul to Minneapolis simply too much to handle for him this year? Will there be a Daddy WarPipes sighting? Will yours truly re-tell the story of the greatest Sioux fan-fail in the history of college hockey? We'll find out soon...

Patriots over Broncos. Seahawks over 49ers. my iPhone is my watch. I haven't worn one since about 2000.

I'll try to help out with this, jim. I'll start by moving the "best watch" conversation over to my own personal thread.

siouxczech29, thank you for the quick response. 1 down, 3 straggler payments to go.

Thank you.

Ok, so you're saying A-Rod beats the rap or are you predicting a warm January-March in Grand Forks?

My CHN app clearly said BTN.

CHN had it listed as being on the Big 10 Network tonite.

How were those TV ratings tonite, Mariucci?

OK, five things I predict for 2014: Alex Rodriguez not playing a single baseball game. Either the Patriots or Broncos making the Super Bowl. Al Pearson putting together a Sioux hockey bus trip. Grand Forks seeing below zero temps. gfhockey getting bombed and posting about it on SiouxSports.com. Mark this thread for next December and we'll see if my "predictions" make me look as smart as you. I personally like my chances.

Called it!

Oh, so it had nothing to do with benefitting local Gopher fans who could work all day Thursday and Friday and then hit the X for a 7:00 pm game...and everything to do with allowing them time to get home and watch the game on TV from the comforts of their couch?

Maybe instead of donating some money to the football department, you should hire an English tutor. Just a thought...
