Indeed it is. I am impressed with the Czech team.

Czech's third goal off the face-off by Tomacek was a beauty!

Plutnar (Czech) plows over an official trying to get a piece of McDavid (Canada) for shooting the puck after the whistle...what the heck was he thinking on that move?

It's being replayed now on NHL Network.

Oh Canada! Our home and native land...

My four years of Sioux futility...groan...

Much like last year's anti-Sioux Phil Housley conspiracy theory thrown out by passit_offthegoalie, I'm not buying the anti-college commit angle.

Wreckincrew...your hats are on their way. AZSIOUZ...where are you?

Michigan Tech vs Western Michigan in the GLI championship game. The dream match-up that the fans in Detroit wanted!

Being a bubble selection wasn't the issue raised by yzerman19...the claim was that Canada's top talent was almost blackballed by its hockey elite because he was a college recruit. I wanted some evidence to back that up.

Pretty funny...but Chris Mussman would probably give his right arm to be playing in that stadium this weekend. And so would plenty of Sioux fans.

I am still waiting on S&H charges for some hats...but you can expect to see some PM's coming your way within the next week or so... letsSIOUXum, southpaw, Oxbow6, Wilbur, and Fedorov..your totals are calculated and ready.

Does that make sense now?

Good grief, homer, I was paraphrasing what NDSU's opinion was. Did you not notice the ' marks?

Yea, just look at this board! UND posters are incensed that NDSU won't play UND...and NDSU's response seems to be 'meh...we'll keep busy with the playoffs and attempt to win our 3rd national championship...you guys just keep whining about why we won't play you and how we're scared to do so.' Kinda like the Gophers and UND hockey...which program is more 'on the map' this year after the WCHA conference shake-up? If I didn't know any better, thanks to the lack of NCHC coverage in the TC media (as expected), I would think UND dropped hockey altogether as opposed to changed conferences. My thought is the same with NDSU not caring about having UND on the football schedule...out of sight, out of mind.

Do you have back-up for that first statement? You're telling me that the scoring leader for Canada West at the 2005 U-17 Hockey Challenge was going to be blacklisted from the 2006 and 2007 World Junior teams because he was attending North Dakota? Canada West obviously didn't have a problem with Toews playing at Shattuck in 2003-04 and 2004-05.

You're missing the obvious: "Canada and Grand Forks ND Agree: Fire Hak!"

That's unbelievable! How on earth did those numbers and letters get there?

Are you talking Hakstol or Hull?

Seems to me that UND cares a lot more about getting NDSU back on the schedule rather than vice versa. Why is that?

Why on earth would you be 4 miles from your car in the Colorado mountains?

I don't think it would look any worse than Brett Hull skating for Team USA. Don Cherry wouldn't care...but he'd call for his firing if Canada won anything less than gold.

I watched team USA's January 2013 semi-final dismantling of Canada last night. Let the good times roll!

It must have been SIOUXMN. Location was 494/94 in Woodbury.

So no wailing and gnashing of teeth today in Canada, eh?
