Groan...wasn't Backes on the Maverick team that swept the Sioux in Mankato? I think I remember that particular road trip...the only GOOD part about it was the visit to Mettler's after the Saturday game!

Yea, lighten up. Let's please stick with acceptable forms of name-calling on this board. Using the word 'idiot' is just uncalled for!

LOL! Giggity!

No way...Red's team is D-O-N-E done.

That I'm a 'friggin' retard'? No wonder folks like PCM left this place behind...

Really? You want to back up a guy who threw around the word 'retard'? If you both are that offended by something I said, I apologize. But I take offense to being called that word.

Their ONLY shot is winning the CCHA tournament.

LOL...no one will want to post anything here because of ME? That's rich.

Still carrying a grudge against Phil Housley, I see. Time to get over it. It would appear Rocco has.

I coach youth traveling baseball at the 11 year old division...doesn't mean I feel qualified enough to be the skipper for the MLB Phillies. I simply get tired of people saying player x 'sucks' and should ride the pine or reading dumb-a$$ comments like those about Herb Brooks being a 'one big win' coach. You disagree? That's ok. I won't lose sleep over it.

Michigan in 10th in the CCHA and Michigan State in dead last. Wow...just wow.

I'm just pointing out a few folks who fly off the handle while sitting behind a moniker on a message board who wouldn't have the balls to say such things should they walk by a player at Wilkerson or saw Hakstol at the library.

Whoa whoa whoa, Goon, let's not let reason, common sense, and facts get in the way of spontaneous reactions to last night's tie. Obviously UND needs to fire Hakstol tomorrow morning, replace two of their three goalies, and re-join the WCHA because the team simply cannot compete with Miami, Denver, and CC.

It's not really a 'new' league... MacNaughton was from the UP and owned a mining company. He was an avid supporter of amateur hockey. Read up on it...it's pretty interesting stuff.

Yep, for truly honest up-front non-homer opinions on the Sioux, head over to GopherpuckLive. LOL!

Yep, for completely non-homer reporting on the Packers, siouxvikes heads over to www.vikings.com and for unbiased opinions on the Republican Party, he reads thedailykos.

James MacNaughton purchased the cup in 1913 for $2G's and awarded it to the champion of the AHA. It's 100 years old and I bet LSSU, Bowling Green, Ferris State or any other former-CCHA team would be PROUD to hoist it next season as the WCHA champion.

I'm not sure YOU get it. UND can mope around for a week about 'woulda coulda shoulda' or the Sioux can prepare for St Cloud State. They blew a two-goal lead with ten minutes left in the game. I'll double-check my college hockey history, but I don't think that's a first.

The entire point of my earlier tongue-in-cheek post was that Sioux fans were screaming bloody murder about how poor their team is and predicting doom and gloom the rest of the season. By that token, a tie on Saturday should have been perceived to be a good thing. Instead, those same fans were upset over the tie. The fact is, it's awfully tough to win at Mariucci.

So for complete unbiased reporting, should I go login over at GopherPukeLive? Just an FYI, too...use of the 'R' word went out with the Carter administration.

And my rebuttal was that it was immediately used as the CCHA championship trophy for three seasons. Do you have any idea how old that cup is or the history behind it?

Yea, I got that much but you lost me with the 'CCHA went huh' comment.

The 'old' Broadmoor is pretty sad...my kid has a mites baseball championship trophy from Bloomington Athletic Association bigger than that thing!

WHHHAAAAATTTT?

Yea, nothing says 'moving forward' like trashing your past. Keep the Broadmoor!
