Then again, being a geek does have its perks...

Duly noted. PCM...hard-at-work with a phone interview of Blake Wheeler for USCHO.com...

UMass-Clarkson...the suspense is killing me!

I've looked all over Tiffany's cleavage area and I STILL can't find the bunny.

Good grief, there are bunnies hidden on the cover too?

PCM and Siouxdonyms... NEEEEERRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDSSSSS!

Hmnn, this is the first time I noticed there were words on the cover.

Uh...I got 'da Gophers winnin' by a score-a chirty-two ta zilch.

I agree totally. Just another reason why the NCAA has its head up its a**.

Wow, don't scare me like that, Siouxmama! For a second there, when I read that you had killed a "bunny" yesterday, my first reaction was that I hoped it wasn't THIS bunny...

Ignorant fans? The Wooger himself said that the "ONLY" team with "NO CHANCE" to win a game in last year's NCAA tournament was Holy Cross.

Now that incident I remember...I believe that was in 1998 or 1999.

Actually, not all tree huggers are so animal friendly... "The zoo must kill the bear."

Actually, it was Michael Schutte who scored Maine's first goal in the 2002 title game. Wasn't the "shhh" from Peter Metcalf, though?

I'm sayin' you love beer like the fat kid loves cake!

I've never scored 30+ touchdowns in a single season...but I did score four in one game for Polk High...does that count?

As opposed to the teenagers who sat (with their dad, no less) behind me on Saturday? Announcer: "No goal." 3 teenagers (and dad joining in): "F*** the Sioux (clap clap clap)...F*** the Sioux". I like the "cupcakes" version much better.

15 run rule? Remind me to tell you a story about a softball game about 10 years ago in Maplewood. Heck, PCM, YaneA, NorthDakotaHockey, and others need to hear this one as well. It'll trump anything they heard at Hoggsbreath last year. Hope you recover soon.

Stunningly enough...

Walking in a boot? What kind of sissy softball league is that anyways? A few years ago, I was playing 1B when the batter-turned-baserunner stepped on my ankle on his way thru the play at first. I sucked it up, moved to catcher, hobbled around on one leg, and in extra innings with two outs, when the team walked the batter in front of me to get to me, promptly smacked a game-winning single to right field. I hobbled all the way to 1st and beat out the throw just in time. THEN I went to the doctor's office and got my boot. Buncha cake-eaters down there in Arizona.

I watched that game on TV, happy, and you're painting a broad stroke onto Sioux fans here. As sick as I was watching Irmen showcase "me me me," I wanted to throw up when I saw Chorney do a retaliatory strike. At the time, Chorney's goal cut the Sioux deficit from 5-2 to 5-3, hardly a time for bringing attention to yourself.

Goon, are the games going to be on?

It's times like this when I understand why hockey is nothing more than a niche sport. No one has any idea who is showing the games, if anyone. It's like 1981 or 1982 when CBS would show tape-delayed broadcasts of the NBA finals at about 10 pm. In the meantime, I suppose I can enjoy watching bowling on FSN and the women's NIT basketball tournament on ESPN.

The same fans booing this year were the very same ones cheering wildly three years ago when Minny's Kellen Briggs got voted all-tournament. I wasn't the only one who felt the best goalie, far and away, at least on that particular weekend, was Alaska-Anchorage's Chris King. That guy stood on his head for the play-in game (AA defeated Colorado College 4-1) and again against North Dakota in the semi-final (Sioux 4-2 victors). King stopped 44 of 45 shots against the Tigers and 41 of 45 shots against the Sioux, a .931 save percentage. Contrast that with Mr. Briggs' effort of 27 out of 31 against UMD and 35 out of 38 against UND (a .899 performance).
