nah, I just have a wonderful wife.

I just got one of these a couple of weeks ago for father's day. the picture is amazing.

got ya. I'll just leave it at he probably needs to get his eyes checked then.

I must have missed this somewhere but how could you not like HD-you get a much clearer picture than non HD tv? HD is the only way to go.

wasn't sure where to put this but hossa just signed a 12 year deal with the hawks.

I thought that we had until Oct 1 to make a 30 year deal with the tribes and if we don't we start to phase it out on Oct 1.

bahcman turned pro.

he let in a lot of soft goals last season that I kept hearing "he'd like that one back" his numbers weren't eye popping like bachman's were so if he does have a sophomore slump let's hope Dell can step in. there was never a game I went into thinking he'd pull one out for us. it always seemed like he gave up at least 2 bad goals. what happened in nh was a whole team effort not just him.

I think we'll be able to roll the 3.5 lines, the goalie part I'm not sold on yet.

yep and how many titles did toews,oshie,stafford, lee and parise win? the big fat goose egg.

we also didn't win in 2004 with what many consider to be the best team in the last 7-8 years. preseason labels of championship worthy mean nothing-look at cc and bc last year. I expect this team to challenge for a top 3 spot int he wcha,make the final 5 and make the big dance. and once you make the big dance anything can happen. I firmly believe this years team will be better than last years-does it mean they'll win the wcha-no. but I believe once the freshman find their legs in the second half we will be playing longer than we did last year.

hey now. I'm a cubs fan and know that no year will ever be the year. this was supposed to be the year and they are a team full of lunatics who couldn't get a clutch hit if they were hitting off a tee, have an overpaid ace of the staff who should be in a psychiatric ward and a pair of "closers" who can't throw a strike and have walked in more runs that they have saves.

don't forget this year's hobey baker winner was an undrafted free agent as well.

yes it was. thanks.

maybe with the 12 team scheduling there won't be any "rivals". from my understanding if they adopted the cluster format used by the ccha everything rotates so there there aren't any "rivals" if I'm wrong please correct me.

it will also mean less visits from the bottom feeders like tech and uaa. the bigger point here is that a program was saved. because if bsu and uah were allowed to cut their programs the number of teams allowed in the ncaa tourney almost for surely would drop from 16 back to say 12. this move is great for college hockey. I've never been to a und/du game in denver nor a game at cc, but I have been to several und/bsu games in bemidji and those were some of the funnest games I've ever been to.

how will the "natural" rival pairings go? these three I think are givens: umn-uw umd-tech cc-du the next three could be paired anyway: msum-scsu und-bemidji omaha-uaa or und-scsu bemidji-uaa msum-omaha

$$$ I'm not sure if it would make sense as the X holds 3000 more people and if you consider a 5 game package runs about $150 that's $450,000 the WCHA would be giving up in certain years.

mankato state doesn't exist anymore. you can stop living in the 80's.

while we're at this. some people think we should go after uaf-how about we send tech back to the ccha and bring in uaf then you have: und-bsu uaa-uaf uno-msum cc-du um-uw scsu-umd.

would they change on a yearly basis or no? also would they maybe change our natural rival to say bsu instead of st cloud?

if this has been addressed I apologize- I keep seeing in refernce to scheduling and the ccha they refer to a four team cluster, does anyone know what this is and how does it work? would the teams you are grouped with in a certain year be the teams you play 4 times?
