Good grief do I look awful in those colors...

ADAM: TWO MINUTES ON HIRSCH FOR CHECKING THE GOAL. PENALTY BOX: YOU MEAN GOALIE? ADAM: NO, I MEAN GOAL.

I've always liked "SORRY STATE OF HOCKEY" myself. How about "BRING BACK THE WOOGER!. At least then, you were all Minnesota Kids."

How about the Hockey East and CCHA logos with the red circle w/a slash thru it?

LOL...OUTSTANDING!

A Gopher fan at Mariucci last weekend asked me about my hatred for Gopher hockey. I told him that if they reunited the Soviet 1980 Olympic team and had them play Minnesota, I'd be there wearing my CCCP jersey and waving my star and sickle flag!

Any word on whether this bus is stopping in Mpls/St Paul?

Minnesota's Pride on Ice...now with a Canadian and a couple of NoDaks...

"WHERE'S YOUR BEANPOT?"

But if Minnesota beats UND and then loses to CC or DU, I wouldn't get to razz Gopher fans. You're correct, that was me in my Sioux jersey and sky blue Maine hat. Great game! I got my picture taken with Brutus Buckeye in the 2nd game.

How about the maroon M and "North Dakota's Pride on Ice" when Irmen and Potulny take the ice?

I wish. They're not exactly the sports geek that I am.

I realize this would be hard to get on camera, but how about a milk carton with "MISSING" and then the Hockey East and CCHA logos?

Her parents (my sister and brother-in-law) went to NDSU.

No...but I'm not showing up in my Sioux jersey and #1 foam hand to the church.

PCM, If that's your fantasy, you need to get out more!

I need to be back in Minneapolis by 12 noon Sunday for my niece's baptism (well, technically, then, I need to be back here by about 9-10 am to give me time to get ready), so I'm hoping I can find another 1-2 people willing to carpool in/my buddy's Dodge Durango and drive back immediately after Saturday's championship game ends. Anyone interested, drop me a line. Thanks!

I don't disagree with anything that's being said here, but, really, everyone's moaning and groaning about DU...what about the NCAA? Do you really think Michigan would suspend its star football receiver for 5 additional games if the NCAA handed down a 1 game suspension as punishment? Or would Illinois or North Carolina suspend a player for the entire Final Four if the NCAA handed down a suspension for their first round game ONLY?

He said he didn't mean it...cmon, do you think he INTENDED to break Bina's neck? Again, I'm not sticking up for the clown, I just think anything he would have done wouldn't have been enough in the eyes of some here. That being said, Gwoz suspended a kid for a much LESSER offense in the national championship last season. I believe it was a curfew violation if memory serves me correct. More than a one-game suspension should have been considered in this instance. But, then again, does the fault lie with DU or with the NCAA?

I'm not a lawyer, but I know how they operate. In his defense, Paukovich opens his mouth and "apologizes" and perhaps he's now personally liable (yes, you can make a case that he should be anyways), but my point is that I'm sure the guy was advised by attorneys (whether personal or university) to keep his mouth shut.

Cmon, Fedorov, you know the legal system today. Nobody can say a word without being sued for millions of dollars. Look at Colorado football for crying out loud.

I agree that he lined him up, Fedorov. I think the guy is a classless goon and he'll get his soon. The point of the post was Denver's "tribute." These are two separate issues here: DU's and what the general perception of Paukovich.

I don't buy that argument, Fedorov. How many times have you seen a touch-up icing call where you know it's gonna be icing, yet you watch the rushing player get crunched anyways the moment he touches the puck? Or how about a team knowing they are getting a penalty and rather than touch the puck, the guy sends a slap shot down the ice?
