Good grief, DaveK, it's like shooting fish in a barrel with your star boy....5 second mark of this short clip...

LOL...this bush-league mite move by Sid the Kid came at the end of an 8-4 playoff butt-whoopin' that the Flyers served up on the Saints Penguins. Had that been Zdeno Chara coyly pushing away Sidney's glove, DaveK would be crying for a 2:00 delay of game penalty.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cZ5Bd0x9bE Two can play this game, DaveK. 40 second mark of the video - your 'class act' #87...

Agreed. Back in the 1970's and 1980's, North Dakota was Minnesota Viking country. Enter Brett Favre, a Vikings Les-Steckel era, and a Packers Super Bowl title in the 1990's, and suddenly North Dakota is Packer territory.

Her father has been a Gopher men's season-ticket holder for about 20 years so if you want to continue calling me a liar, knock yourself out.

Siouxforce19 will just have to wait until the Hogg brunch next spring. So should I start the thread already? People need plenty of advance notice!

Are you and gfhockey related?

The arrogance was in contacting her and inviting her in for a look-see...and THEN telling her that they actually had no interest in having her play at Minnesota.

Right there, bro.

Posters like yourself who don't feel that UMD and St Cloud State should even be remotely able to compete with North Dakota on the ice.

LOL...for what, using capital letters in a sentence?

Parity doesn't matter, Goon. Some folks here still think the Dickinson Squirt C team would smoke North Dakota.

"WE"? I guess I didn't realize you weren't just a fan on a message board...but an actual player. You could always transfer...just a thought.

And yours are fresh doggie doo. I didn't say lack of recruiting, I said 'arrogance' of recruiting. The person I know...his daughter shows up to MN for a visit because THEY invited her. She was promptly handed a list of their top five recruits for next year and told she was number six on their board but she should consider other options because as the #1 team in the land, they weren't worried about losing any of the other five ahead of her. The 'recruiting visit' was a total turn-off...and I am guessing she wasn't the only recruit treated so poorly. Minnesota Women's Hockey...Scandinavia's Pride on Ice.

Obviously Sandelin. Now, if Scott was coaching UND and brought along the REST of his UMD record along with that one NCAA title to Grand Forks, would you be content with that or would you be here whining about the 6-7 seasons of no WCHA Final Five appearances and only 4 NCAA tournament appearances in the past 12 years?

I am quickly starting to think that the 'gf' in 'gfhockey' doesn't stand for 'Grand Forks' and instead stands for 'Gopher Fan'.

I believe on another thread quite some time ago, you and I both expressed frustration over failing to carry the puck into the zone in the Michigan semi-final game a few years ago. Then we got to watch UMD figure that out a day later in the title game. I do agree with your criticisms at times...especially when it seems to be 'if it doesn't work in the first or second period, we'll just try the same exact thing in the third.'

No, that's all YOU are doing...and that's fine. I bet 2/3 of gfhockey's post count contains the words 'fire Hak' or, in his case, since his cell phone apparently doesn't have an upper-case button, 'fire hak'.

But I thought UND voted with the 'big schools' in the WCHA?

No, I didn't prove your point, boy. Your point was that UND had a hundred million dollar arena and UMD doesn't. While not on the scale of REA (I didn't realize that granite was such a powerful recruiting tool), Amsoil Arena is no crap-hole. If facilities are the sole reason behind championships, why did Boston win the title in 100+ year old Fenway Park over places like Comerica Park and PNC Park?

Fenway Park, when compared with new parks, is a dump. That was my point.

Amsoil Arena isn't exactly the Bloomington Ice Garden when compared to REA. And if best facility equates to champions, why did the Red Sox win the World Series and not the Twins?

My bad. I thought gfhockey was referring to UMD coach Scott Sandelin. I admittedly don't know where this Sandeling guy coaches, but he must be good.

Didn't you just say that ALL opinions are still welcome in a chat room right before this post? I also didn't see any Penn State players snapping each other with towels or dancing on the sidelines during the Ohio State debacle. Just sayin'...
