I totally see where you are coming from, doesn't matter if you are a Sioux fan or not. Usually these teams with great offenses can be a little vulnerable too, maybe giving us a chance to score more than a goal or two for once. About Kangas, I don't think any of us would be surprised if he "continued the roll" that he's been on. The fact that he's been on a roll this long is starting to show me that its not a "roll", its who he is going to be for the next 3 years, one of the top goaltenders in the country (WOO!! ). BC has been hot lately but they too were anemic earlier on offense, it all depends which team shows up for them. If they can't get their top lines scoring, I think they are a team ripe to give up goals for sure. Agreed on hitting 3 vs us, more than not it'll pick you up a win. I think if we can get our powerplay kicking like it was near the end of the regular season we will be just fine and won't have a real challenge until the Sioux in the F4 (Gophers Sioux CC Michigan ). The problem with BC for us with the team we have this year could be speed, they have so many smaller guys who can just fly, like Gerbe. I think if we can play physical with them (us, physical?), it'll play to our advantage. I'm pretty sure that we are playing on an NHL rink, which is something that I'd assume would be to our advantage so hopefully we can wear them out and get an early lead, who knows. With Miami/AF in the 2nd round if we do happen to advance, I like both of those matchups much more than BC. It's no secret that AF has played us tough, tying us earlier in the season (probably one of the many low points of our season). Miami has played such a cupcake schedule I'm really not worried about them, I think they are a middle of the pack WCHA team if they are playing here and I think we would match up favorably to them.

Well I think its definitely worth a listen then if you have 5-10 minutes to kill, sad to see his career end like it did, wouldn't wish this upon any player of any team. Good to see he's improving and may be able to live his normal life again but tough to hear him talk about what a life-threatening deal it was, especially for one of our own.

I agree with you, that doesn't seem farfetched to me at all. I still think the BC/MN winner is going to Denver.

The refs will be from a conference other than the ones of the two teams playing, that's all that is known.

Don't know if any of you particularly care but he had an interview on KFAN with Hartman yesterday, sounded great. Its currently the 2nd one down on that page, listed obviously under Tom Pohl

Okay yeah I think I know where you're talking about, over in the area quite often on weekends Only place you might know that we could be living in is the White House right there on frat row. Guess its more like one half block behind frat row but you'd maybe be familiar with that, we may live there junior year since we know the guys there now and they will be seniors next year.

Haha too late now, I couldn't check SS after I posted that because my computer died and my phone wasn't getting very good reception down there. I would have though, probably would've been pretty funny

Chill out AI I prefer, especially for this time of year...

Aww thanks

Ah so up north of Dinkytown in that area? Only apartments I know up there are Marcy Park, have a few friends living there next year. I'm living at University Commons next year just off the Huron Blvd exit of I94, don't know if you're familiar with either of those places or if they came after you were here.

good to know you aren't one of those kids living in the dorms sophmore year superblock speaking of sioux fans from the U, kid sitting next to me here at panda express has his sioux hat on punching away at his computer. probably one of you if it is, kid next to you with a gopher sweatshirt on on his phone typing this is me haha

Lived in the superblock did ya? Territorial is where its at, top 5 party dorm by playboy for a reason

Ryan Jones?

Actually its a dorm, Territorial Hall Yet to see the guy from Miami, looks like its time for me to find this mystical haircut. I'll do it after I'm out of this class, my battery has 3 minutes left here on the laptop.

And for once I didn't take the bait What really got on my nerves from you 19 was calling out the Kangas Khan FRO! EDIT: But no 'do competes with the May Mullet that we got to see against DU

How can you not love a white guy with a fro?

Just defended Wheeler, as you just did. What was bad was what followed, if any Sioux fan posts that video, if its me, its not a joke and its the biggest thing ever. Agreed about Wheeler being just fine, I hope he figures things out, even if only for, say, 4 more games Regardless I think both Oshie and Wheeler are gone after this year. I'll give Oshie a 1% chance of coming back, Blake, how about 20%. Anyway, just saw it on Sportscenter, cool

Best one yet.

Yes, I agree. I apologize to everyone I angered and for bringing this thread off topic (although it's a 2 way street) and I think we can all agree on some good hockey conversation here, regardless of what team we cheer for. Anyway...I don't so much mind Brian Lee, I can cheer for him being that we share a hometown.

Bob....back to Brian Lee. Once again, its not just me so don't play it that way just because we cheer for a different team.

While you ma y be right about Wheeler and Oshie, don't generalize about the Gopher program or other first round picks. Plenty of successful first round draft picks coming out of both our programs.

Haha that's a good one Oh it counts, but that's one person this year, not "everyone" as was posted earlier. I'll give you credit though, pretty funny.

Good to see someone isn't so offended I make sure not to make the mistake anymore haha

Haha it was a joke, chill out. It was only fitting since I "misspelled" it once, to do it agian. How about, back to Brian Lee...
