Not in DaveK's world...here's a great example of a player caught totally off-guard by this seldomly-heard hockey term... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4X2kPrFhwoY

1999-00 Colorado College 18-18-3 .500 2000-01 Colorado College 27-13-1 .671 2001-02 Colorado College 27-13-3 .663 2002-03 Colorado College 30-7-5 .774 2003-04 Colorado College 20-16-3 .551 2004-05 Colorado College 31-9-3 .756 2005-06 Colorado College 24-16-2 .595 2006-07 Colorado College 18-17-4 .513 2007-08 Colorado College 28-12-1 .695 2008-09 Colorado College 16-12-10 .553 2009-10 Colorado College 19-17-3 .526 2010-11 Colorado College 23-19-3 .544 2011-12 Colorado College 18-16-2 .528 2012-13 Colorado College 18-19-5 .488 Totals (14 seasons) 317-204-48 .599 I think that's a pretty good track record, don't you?

Just like I know you smile seeing Sidney flopping around like a soccer player while drawing a penalty on Mike Richards...all part of the game in your eyes.

Which BU team shows up this weekend? The one that beat Providence 4-3 a few weeks ago or the one that got dismantled by Maine last Friday night 7-0?

Scotty Owens signed a contract extension in 2011...he isn't going anywhere.

You watch enough NHL on TV...surely you can spend a few seconds watching the videos I put up, can't you?

Really? It seems most NHL coaches and office people would disagree with you...for continually bringing up your years of experience in watching hockey and the wealth of knowledge you have about the game...it's apparently not enough... http://www.nhl.com/i...s.htm?id=640294 http://sportsillustr...toronto-agenda/ http://nhl.si.com/20...iving-campaign/

Well, that's interesting, DaveK...I don't see 'diving' on the list of penalties either. I guess that's an 'obscure term' that really is a minor problem in today's NHL...or is it? I especially love this one...Sidney felled by a sniper bullet tapped by Kirk Maltby...

The proper expression is 'couldn't care less' but I don't want you getting bogged down in semantics too.

THOUSANDS of games since the 1970's, Dave, and you've NEVER heard the term "slew-foot"? Gee...here's your beloved Penguins being victimized by such a penalty...at the hands of those despicable Bruins too...priceless! I can't wait to hear your take on this one...between the guys at the home station and the announcers at the rink, the term is used several times in this video alone AND IT'S AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FREAKIN' SCREEN FOR YOU TO SEE. Maybe the volume and picture on your 1985 Magnavox need to get checked out...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l9iUP_YQ-4 Too bad for Filppula...I've never heard of slew footing. Wait, that's PK Subban slew footing Chris Kunitz? No penalty? OUTRAGEOUS!

In case the video explanation by your own Penguins folks was over your head... http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=26344 52.1 Slew-footing - Slew-footing is the act of a player or goalkeeper using his leg or foot to knock or kick an opponent’s feet from under him, or pushes an opponent’s upper body backward with an arm or elbow, and at the same time with a forward motion of his leg, knocks or kicks the opponent’s feet from under him, causing him to fall violently to the ice. 52.2 Match Penalty - Any player who is guilty of slew-footing shall be assessed a match penalty. 52.3 Fines and Suspensions - There are no specified fines or suspensions for slew-footing, however, supplementary discipline can be applied by the Commissioner at his discretion (refer to Rule 28).

Apparently you need to brush up on your NHL rulebook... Here's a nice little video I found...on your favorite team's own website... http://video.penguins.nhl.com/videocenter/console?id=140508

Ya think? When Wisconsin basketball is on TV...the usual result is me changing the channel. All Wisconsin basketball needs on most days is a peach basket and short shorts.

Watching the game from the comforts of my couch...even better.

Who's the front-runner for the #1 pick next year? I still say Jacksonville.

Is this one on TV anywhere locally in the TC's? Joe Sensor's?

LOL! You'll sooner see Brady Hoke or Nick Saban patrolling the UND sidelines!

PROMOTING it? Gopher fans LOVE that stereotype!

Anyone else impressed with Lake Superior State's start to the season?

Hey, Goon, have you sent a check yet for your IceHogg hat? My credit card bill is due in about two weeks. I realize I could have texted you the above question but this way I can up my post count.

Or Don Majkowski or Lynn Dickie... I like Boston.

I went to a sports bar in River Falls on Sunday around 2:00 pm thinking "wait a second, it's game-day, this is a big mistake - it'll be PACKED (pun intended)." I walked in and could practically hear crickets chirping.

Anybody else?

Oxbow6, shouldn't you be busy studying the Packers playbook for this weekend's game? I thought you were named starting QB?
