That the 00-01 Sioux made it back to the Frozen Four was a testament to those players' grit and determination. Panzer, Roche, Goehring, Bayda and Bryan Lundbohm practically carried that team on their backs. I'll always remember them as the team that wouldn't quit.
I agree completely...that team just wouldn't go away. They liked to play in OT quite a bit though
-
Agreed...very funny!
And BB fights don't start until they have someone in place to "hold me back!" :
No, they need at least two people to "hold them back" before they start taking wild "swings" which are about as real as the WWE
-
I think that was a goal. The flames should have won in 6.
They did do their job...replay was inconclusive. ABC showed an animation that showed how it was possible the puck was not in...
-
I didn't see the similarity until bigmrg mentioned it and I thought about it a little...that's f'in hilarious
-
Maybe its some sort of lottery, one lucky guy gets to go first, then everybody else lines up for the sloppy seconds.
So you all can get in line behind me
-
Thanks to everyone for your help. Hopefully if all goes well I'll be able to see the new Ralph come October. Or if all else fails I guess I could just watch the game at one of the many cool bars in Grand Forks.....which doesn't sound all bad either!
Two Words...El Roco...
Plus that's where everyone will be after the game(s)

Who is this Brad Volrath guy? what town is he from? where is he playin now?
Tried to walk-on this year...I met him at Hockeyfest this last year, pretty good guy.
-
BTW- Commy played a lot more in Game 3. He seemed to do good.
Shouldn't it be "seemed to do well.
Normally I wouldn't say anything...but aren't you an education major?
Tommiejo...yeah, Gilbert Brown is in much better shape than Vinny Lecavalier or Jarome Iginla
-
so my question: was the fight any good???
It was pretty good until the end...then Iginla kicked his a$$
Is there really any question that this series is going 7 games
BTW...ratings are up 10%
-
I thought Mario left the game because Luigi was making as much money as him.
No, it was that annoying little smarta$$ dog from Duck Hunt...he kept laughing and laughing, Mario had had enough. Luigi did recently sign a huge contract though...anyone remember how much that was for?
-
MNS... I'll try not to let it happen again.
Good
Basketball.Is that even a sport?No, read my sig...that and it's for alleged rapists and goons with 8 kids by 9 baby mamas.
Tampa came out to play tonight and took it to Calgary I thought...this is shaping up to be a great series...dare I say 7 games.
Ruffian...only the NBA fixes games so a team can win (see: Lakers)
-
Calgary outworked TB in this one...they deserved to win the way they did.
Iginla's shorty was a product of pure hustle and awareness, and Yelle's was a magnificent shot over Habby's shoulder...
I expect TB to play better in Game 2.
-
Sorry about the title, Sioux fans. Couldn't help but do it thinking about other teams' fans (guess who) seeing the title and getting that "oh s**t" feeling when seeing the post. (yep, dagies, did it on purpose )
Bison fans?
No really, who?
-
Jordan Leopold and Travis Roche...both first-team All-Americans, much different paths to signing a pro contract, much different NHL careers.
Chuck Kobasew...how's his NHL career going?
I don't remember Lucia complaining either. I'm sure he was disappointed, but who wouldn't be?You remember incorrectly. Lucia never complained....he was quoted as saying it's a shame that Paul would not have the opportunity to be on the All-American mural at Mariucci because he probably would have been the best d-man in the country.I don't remember anyone predicting Martin would have made the transition as well as he did. Most people thought Martin and Hale would see some time with the Devils along with some time in the minors.I'll agree here too. I thought for sure that Hale and Martin would be seeing a lot of time in Albany this year...not the case. Both had pretty good first years.
Let me get this straight...what did Sioux fans say about Vanek ALL season....he's Randy Moss, he plays when he wants to play, he's lazy. THEN Vanek's own head coach virtually agrees with all of you (in gentler terms)....and he gets ripped.We've also said he was lazy because he may have been bored with the college game. And we're not the only ones who have said he needs to work harder...your Gopher fans have said so too.

skates...most of the casual hockey fans I know watch hockey for the fighting. Some of them became huge fans of the game as it grew on them. Cheap play is not needed, the NHL needs to hand out consistant punishment and keep it under control, that's where I think they've gone wrong.
A fight once in a while is fine, but there are starting to be more than I'd like to see in a game. I may be going out on a limb, but the trap and recent clutch and grab goon crap may have something to do with it. Players are getting frustrated and as a result are taking it out on the nearest opponent. If the game opens up more, and players are allowed to showcase their talent...I think fighting will be down.
-
Avs must wait their turn at the Tee! MNS, who's up? Has Cujo teed off yet or are they having difficulty determining which goaltender would do so? Hasek isn't trying to vie for tee time ahead of Cujo again, is he?
That would be the Flyers, the Dives were ahead of the Wings
izzi...never let school get in the way of hockey.
I said Tampa would win from the beginning...no sense in changing that now.
Go Lightning!!!

One reason I think it's declining is there is almost no promotion of the sport. Look at the NBA, every other commercial I've seen lately on ESPN advertises the NBA playoffs. From what I've heard from some people is if you go to a game, you're hooked. It's a great sport (as we all know) and if people can get exposed to the more of the game other than the gooning (let's be honest...only time hockey will lead SC is if there's an "incident" or the Stanley Cup has been won), there's a better possiblity of it becoming more popular. I also think if you make it more like the college game (no red line) it will increase in popularity as well. And, as much as I'd like to keep it on NHL size ice...Olympic ice will open the game much more, adding more offense, or at the very least some great moves for the highlight reel

redwing,
It sounds as if you know very little about Keith Primeau. I suggest you watch him in person or throughout the course of a season. He is anything BUT a cheap player.
You want cheap? How about that bearded little crybaby midget, Mary SanLouis intentionally slashing at Alex Zhamnov's bare hand. If this happened to someone int he green/white you guys would be going nuts.
Actually...Primeau is a little cheap. Not as much as he used to be, but he still is.
Oh, and St. Louis takes one slash and all of a sudden is cheap (not to mention he was slashed just before that
)This is a great series...either team can take this, but I think in the end Tampa will come out on top. If they can shut Primeau down, it's on to the Stanley Cup Finals.
-
How are the Wild doing?
Quiet....Gaborik's about to putt out. Cujo can tee off in a little bit.
-
i hope philly wins it all. if tampa wins thats bad for hockey. hockey in florida wow
Actually it may not be as bad for hockey as you think. Remember Tampa plays a offesive style similar to the Sioux. If an offensive team wins the Cup, it'll prove to a lot of young coaches that you don't need to run the trap, or a variation thereof, to win the Cup, thus opening up the game and creating more scoring. Which in turn makes the game more exciting and more people will watch.
-
What facts? You bring ONE survey. ONE survey that interviews 351 Native Americans. Yeah that's a survey I would trust. Just like if I asked 351 KKK members if they thought Hitler was a good guy.
Get real. There are tons and tons of protests by Native American groups. But when you're a racist idiot like Ralphy and the rest of you idiots you just blow them off.
Yeah, those two situations are oh so similar. With the KKK you know you're getting a biased answer. This was a random sampling of native americans...they weren't hand-picked.
So, you see first hand what happens up here from California?

At least there was parking for the Wings players since the Wild had already finished the course long ago.
No, the Wild were starting their 3rd round...so Detroit had to park waaay in the back.
-
As one who loves the Flyers more than life itself I am happy to see that Minnesota North Star has picked TB.
BTW, who are the hockey Einsteins around here who picked the gay-ple-laffs to win the Cup in this thread?
The laffs and Belfour are our B*I*T*C*H*E*S.
Way to make a whole lot of sense there...I've had TB winning since the begining of the playoffs.
A Flames/Lightning Stanley Cup finals would be a great series to watch....no traps, just up and down offensive hockey. Wouldn't do much for the promotion of the sport in America, but I really think it'll be good for the sport in the long run...proving you don't have to run a trapping system to win a Stanley Cup.
