Thomas Jefferson?

When are schedules usually completed and finalized?

We Win The GOLD! Parise is forward of the tournament... good job, Zach!

1:00 to go... USA, USA, USA...

3:30 to go...

A Bochenski type goal... bounce it off a defenseman!

Yeah... big forecheck by Drew and the rest of the USA team... I love that "par-E-ZAY" stuff...

End of 2... Canada leads it 3-1

USA putting on some pressure... ZP hits a pipe!

3-1 canada. s&!t. It was Stewart... he must feel good...

Nothing doing on the pp. At the end, an early whistle with a loose puck. Canada got lucky!

Killed 'em both 5 on 5 again!

Suter gets a penalty... 42 seconds of 5-3

Canada power play...

Oh Yeah! Thanks SDD!

big-time! maybe a little bit of traffic today?

Does anyone have a link for on-line audio?

Merry Christmas to all you gopher fans too. (yes, I mean it) I wish you a great post Christmas hockey season. (don't really mean it) Thanks to the board admin for a fun year talking Sioux Sports! I appreciate it! Merry Christmas everyone!

Yeah... that's almost as bad as "in the land of whoppers, burgers are king." Having your starting line-up sponsored by a fast food joint is (to quote slap-shot) "f***ing embarrassing." I cringe every time I hear it. Visiting fans must laugh their butts off... I know REA is a "marketing machine"... but please. We have a "paid for" 100M dollar arena, and they're pimping out the power play? I'll say it again... f***ing embarrassing.

Maybe I went overboard with my previous post, but a "suggestion to fans" versus a "scolding" would have been more appropriate on a broadcasted post game interview. I actually agree with Blais, and understand what he's saying. However, I don't think a comment either way was necessary, especially after a win. I just wasn't impressed.

My thoughts exactly, Sicatoka. Take Mussman, leave Bubba. For the love of God leave Bubba...

Who would have guessed that we'd see Wisconsin and Anchorage sweeping MSU & CC this past weekend? I would've lost serious money if I took that bet at the beginning of the season... And if you told me that MSU and UM would be hanging out with TECH in the standings at Christmas break, I would have fell out of my chair. The WCHA, without question, is one hell of a conference. (do we have to worry about UW & AA?)

When the #1 team in the country has one of the worst power play percentages, the fans will get anxious. Blais has been around long enough to know that. I thought it was in poor taste to "discipline the fans" on the radio. In fact, it kind of pissed me off. Hennesy was smart in changing the subject quickly, becuase it sounded like Blais was going to keep going with it. Don't get me wrong, I think Blais is the best coach in the league, (yes, I really do) but he should stick to what he can control. Get your PP percentage at 75%, and people will still yell "shoot", as we're not as diciplined and patient as the team is. You know why? WE'RE FANS, THAT'S WHY! Wasn't this a topic last year too? Let it f*cking go already. (for the record, as a season ticket holder, I was sitting on my hands not yelling or saying anything)

I suppose you're right on that one...

Sorry, I just don't think it was that big of a situation. The fan's timing might have been bad with the injury and all, and you shouldn't throw things on the ice. But... Goldy started messing with someone who obviously wasn't in the mood for his shenanigans, and caught it in the ass. I guess if the guy beat the hell out of Goldy, and threw him on the ice, I'd be more outraged and would have different feelings about the situation. But with his cardboard sieve finger? Not a big deal, IMO. And I seriously doubt he was aiming for the injured player... WPoS, is that the most terrible thing you've seen a fan do?
