Hey aleah, you definately have a better resume than I do. I'm a has been never was. Glad you want to play in net. It should be fun since POI has had a gal in the nets too. do we have the link to the POI thread? been a long year, i wonder where the trophy is.

i'll even wear pink socks if you want to swap

Thanks. I think i'll skate up next year if we can find a goalie. I wanted to break the puck out and skate it up today.

I should be in. I'm rusty and gained a few pounds. No promises folks.

and just to stir the pot (not sure if someone mentioned this) Gophers got the top and center photo on the poster.

Hey BFoSH, when are you heading up there. ill probably just drive by myself but might as well entertain a party ride. how much $$?

nah bacardio you can join us in the pain. im still sore today.

Very fun game. I was worried that they were going to tie it up. I could feel the pressure. Thanks for putting it together. I would suggest 60 minutes. It is fairly tough finding a good central rink to play at that isn't high buck. I used to play at St. Louis Park a lot and that is a pretty good central location with good ice. But really whatever you can find, we know it's difficult lining things up. Please say thank you again to the ref. He did a good job. Great job kateskate. I think the pink socks were a nice touch. Good luck with the tryouts. I plan on making a couple modifications maybe to the trophy.

As a big bison fan who attended the final 5, I thought it was funny but completely outrageous at the same time. Many people there had to point the poster out to me since I seemed to be the only guy at the bars/X to be wearing the green and gold. How could the poster maker mess that one. NDSU has had a problem with recognition. If you remember back to the Bison win over the Badgers in BB the ESPN announcers mixed us up for you guys. "NDSU fighting bison...We knew that NDSU had a good hockey team but we didn't know they had a good basketball team.." Then I heard a badger fan behind me this weekend ask "Is UND from Fargo?" So I agree, most people don't have much of a clue on what goes on in ND. For the most part they really don't care. I also wonder...maybe it was a gopher fan that sabatoged the poster. But that would take someone of sports intelligence to know about the rivalry. I wonder if we might see: "University of Minnesota Crookston" for next weekend's programs.

well im glad i checked then. i just grabbed something from a previous post. yer probably right. ill edit my previous post.

We don't care what GPL has or doesn't have. It's our year this year. 3 full lines is perfect for 1.5 hours. I agree with the max of 15. Just a reminder it is from 11pm to 12:30pm at VMIA in N. Minneapolis on Sunday. Here is the mapquest map to VMIA: http://cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~brycjohn/vmia_dirs.gif

yeah mksioux said something about another goalie being there. that is OK. i will be bringing both sets of gear. im a decent forward too so if we have a second goalie i can play up. that might actually be good since i had a slight groin pull on a penalty shot a week ago.

ive got a sioux fan coming from fargo who is pretty good. i told him to bring his gear. he has heard about the game in the past and would be happy to play.

so we have 9 players for 90 minutes? hopefully we can get to 13; for sure 10

That's some serious confidence AZ . POI leads the all-time series 2-0-1 1.) 4-4 2.) 7-3, 8-4?? Can't remember(or don't want to) that one since I didn't have a great game. 3.) 7-5

I'm ok with it. It's a win win situation for us. I'd like to see her score a few on the POI.

60 please.

I'm here. I have to get on a serious workout program if I want to play in this game again. I think I lost 20 pounds last year, but definately worth it. I do suggest as I read earlier on this thread to keep the team to 15 or under players to get some flow. Though, I certainly never have to worry about ice time or touching the puck. Yeah I think I should be available. I'm traveling from Fargo so if you can get an early afternoon time is key. Enough time to wake up and cure a solid hang over, but not too late to head back home. As always, if you can get Jake Brandt, I can step out of the way. I can play forward too if you need. Thanks for lining this up.

well us beating the badgers should always give the gophers the warm fuzzies. of course, i wouldn't mind going to their message board but they use ezboard which absolutely sucks.

Just wanted to thank all the sioux fans on their praise. I went to the hockey series against mankato st. and I heard the same thing. This win also helps UND (D1 transition pressure) and a great win for North Dakota. Just a fun and exciting story of david vs. goliath. I'm sure the gopher fans are happy for us too.

Parise is the obvious #1. However I agree that you want to keep him not only sharp but healthy. He can probably handle a 90% or more load but why risk that early in the season. Parise has improved greatly in the past couple years and I commend him on what he has done. Once a flopper with questionable position is now a stalwart in goal with great position. Nobody in the WCHA is lighting things up early on and the sioux will have to be prepared for the gopher's push later in the season. With no other team really pressuring anyone else to get wins this early there is no pressure to start Parise for every game. Starting sooner or later I would just use Lamareux splitting time for the mankato/SCCC/michTech type of series and play parise both nights for the big series against W or M.

sorry we had to leave right away. i needed to drive back to fargo as soon as i could. i had a mountain of homework waiting for me. damn gradschool. thanks for the praise. that would have been awesome to win that one given the odds. at the end of the game i had about 3 inches of snow covering most of the crease area. that part of the ice definately got used. we started out really good in the first minutes of the game. with the full bench i thought we would do fine. then things kind of turned south a bit. still, you guys battled back to make it 5-4 at one point. i messed up on the 6th and 7th goal a little bit with controlling the rebound. i wouldnt mind having those back, but overall im glad it was a close game. see you all next year hopefully.

guys i hate to do this but is it possible to find another goalie? im about 30% now that my group's final5 plans fell through and that i might be out of the country. if i did end up going i could easily skate up.

I will be making the trip from Fargo to the final5 no matter if the sioux make it or not. If you want my services in net let me know. I didn't play up to expectations last year and I can understand if you want to go with someone else. Michigan Tech is going to win it all. I'm making that call right now.

Are refreshments allowed at the rink?
