No...I don't think that's it. My guess is that it is the Big Brother thingie.

Sioux Yeah Yeah!!!

I wonder how many NCAA's the WCHA has to win before national news types begin to remember, "Oh yeah, the best teams ARE in the West almost every year."

Yes...keep up the pressure on the boys but leave the girls alone.

I like how at the bottom of that article it shows that Brandt is leading the WCHA in both GGA and Save%, with Parise not far below him. Even if they don't quite get the respect they might deserve, it's still nice to see UND netminders sitting atop the league.

WOW...I can SEE my house from here.

I call them hockey players... My point was merely that there are few minorities playing hockey because of what seems to be a general disinterest in hockey by minority athletes. Most seem to be more interested in basketball and football than in hockey. Obviously there are exceptions to that general disinterest (such as Peter Worrell in Colorado and Anson Carter in Washington...among others), but I can imagine if you were to poll a good cross section of minority athletes in this country, Canada and probably the rest of the world, hockey would come up pretty low on the list of preferred sports to play. That was the reason I found Wilbur's quote from Bisonville.com so ironic. I find it terribly irresponsible to cry racisim in a sport with few minorities when minority interest in that sport is so low. But I'm not really sure why you've decided to take exception to my statement. It seems like a pretty astute and thoroughly unracist observation if I do say so myself, Goon.

My favorite part of that statement is that "Hockey is the sport where minorities are excluded." Hockey is the sport in which minorities predominately do not participate, but that in no way makes hockey a racist sport. You can't make minorities play hockey if they are not interested in that sport.

Boy, that game sounded ridiculous. I'm almost glad I could only hear it on the Internet and not actually see it. I may have hurt myself, or at least thrown something heavy through my television screen. 6 goals tomorrow night and all will be well with the 5 goal average.

SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that Minnesota seems to have righted their ship, the next series with the Gophers could very well be some of the best and hardest fought hockey we'll see all year. I'll have to curl up to my computer with some beer and popcorn and listen to the carnage.

Aaawwww...that's cute.

I'd say it's about time for a Road House to win the Hobey.

I don't think I've even been to Bismarck in nearly 10 years. Granted, I've lived in California for the past 3 of those 10, but in the 7 years prior to that...and I've maybe been there 2 times in the past 15 years. When I did go to Bismarck, it usually wasn't to go to any sporting events. I suppose that it is probably the center of Western State sports, but since that comprises maybe 30 percent of the population, I still find it hard to believe that they wouldn't have named GF or Fargo.

What are the chances that Stafford and Zajac are drafted by the Devils? It makes it soooooooo hard to dislike one of my least favorite NHL teams when it is populated (or formally populated, see Commadore) with so many former Sioux players. (not only former Sioux players, but just so many college players in general)

I think you were right to know that it was coming.

"He's on his way to a career year and possibly the Hobey Baker Memorial Award as the nation's best player. With 27 points in his last 14 games, Bochenski leads the nation in points with 33."--Virg Foss Oh damn...and then he went and said it.

Hey! A.B.T.G. You stole my avatar! How Dare You!!!! It's ok...it's just so hard to get mad at fellow Avs fans.

Hey, Jim, where's the "Ridiculously overpaid and soon to crap out like they always do line" option?

I got to see Hale play in Anaheim on Tuesday night. He didn't make much of an impact, but he did get some good licks in. Unfortunately, as the game was close, Burns shortened up his benches fairly early in the second and Hale made it on the ice sparingly the second half of the game.

Did everyone else see this? http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaah/news?slug=ap...ov=ap&type=lgnsYahoo Sports!

Not sure if anyone else saw this on Yahoo Sports or not: SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) -- The Florida Panthers re-signed left wing Darcy Hordichuk and right wing Denis Shvidki and signed free agent right wing Lee Goren on Thursday. Terms of the one-year deals were not disclosed. Hordichuk split 28 games between Florida and Phoenix last season, totaling 97 penalty minutes. Shvidki, the Panthers' first round pick in 1999, had four goals, two assists and 12 penalty minutes in 23 games with the Panthers last season. Goren had two goals and one assist in 14 games with the Boston Bruins last season.
