Bob in Wisconsin

Thanks. The "forechecker" must be involved in this trap I take it. I hear alot on tv "the forecheck is on"...my guess is this forechecker forces the puckhandler left or right, where he is picked up by a second defenseman, checking him into the boards. Is there ever "man to man" defense, like in basketball, or is it pretty much zone?

Ok, what's a grinder, and where is the Red Pepper...I have to check it out after the UMD games.

And the usual basher bashing continues here on siouxsports.com Sorry...couldn't resist.

Damn that would be funny. Does CC have a message board? I'm sure we could get one of them to do it.

My bad. I was just trying to make light of the fact that the threadstarter just created his ID...perhaps insinuating it was Eli, which I'm sure wasn't the case.....GO ELI GO!!

Nice try Eli.

Thanks! Sorry, you gotta remember, I'm in Wisconsin. I was browsing through my Encyclopedia Britanica without success. To me, "Google" is something we wear underwater to look at the walleye.

...and the Vikings swallow..

Hi...what does "trap style" of hockey mean? Sorry. I've only been watching hockey about 4 years, so I'm learning new stuff all the time...most of it from this board. Thanks

Couldn't agree more, tired of the whole "class" arguement. This is hockey, not a Grey Poupon commercial.

I say next time, Hakstol shakes Eaves hand with one of those joy buzzers in his palm

Got a few requests from Badger fans to post the Connelly save, here it is if you'd like to take a look also. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH2yCVAyUDc

Think that was bad, earlier in the broadcast, 1st period, he said he was recruited by UND, but wanted a degree that "actually meant something"...would that ruffle a few feathers here?

Here's the goal by Oshie Saturday night, followed by a scuffle, on Wisconsin Public Television. The always unbiased Ron Vincent on the call. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBXSfLZJPtY

Watched Eaves news conference today. Nothing asked/said in regards to his Hakstol confrontation, or the Throwdown in Madtown, bunch of softball questions from the local press. He did say he wished he could play UND every other weekend, so his freshman could get more experience. He said for most of them, this was without question the biggest (most physical) game to date. He was also asked how he can protect Turis, and he replied, "He needs 10 or 15 more pounds". http://www.uwbadgers.com/video/Default.aspx?mid=1408

Eaves should have a news conference today, I'll watch for anything interesting.

I'm not buying the "unprovoked" story. From all the football games I've been to, part of Bucky's schtick is taunting the other side, mascots and players.

Yeah, I kinda figured that, but was wondering what it would take. Hypotheticly, if Connelly started tangling with Kaip, would Lammy come flying down the ice? I suppose if he did, Hak would be screaming "Nooooo!!" the whole way.

So, you think Forney is the 3rd goalie now? Was he a goalie in high school?

What has to happen for the goalies to get involved, generally speaking? I see they stayed out of it. Is it pretty much goalie on goalie, or will a goalie take on anyone? Do you think Lammy skated out to the blue line to see if Connely would get involved? Just kind of curious why they didn't get involved.

I found this completely different angle of the hit, showing Kaip just LEVELING Bucky, pretty awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SFt-jdgTOA

Here's part two of the Wisco version, or Amateur Hour, however you want to call it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KOO-WwBFz4

Yeah, I guess I don't remember either...

Last nights Badger post game new conferance. Eaves, Turris, Drewiske, and Connelly. They look like they should be on suicide watch. Worth a look. http://www.uwbadgers.com/video/Default.aspx?mid=1403
