Boogieman

It's one thing to dislike the crest on the opposing team's sweater and whatever you think it might stand for. That's fine, but there's still a young man in that sweater, who none of us, for all intents and purposes, know on a personal level. None of us who have half a brain in our heads wanna see stuff like what happened to Robbie Bina, Tommy Pohl, and Jessie Martin. Inside the rules of the game, outside the rules of the game, doesn't matter. Kids getting helped or carted off the playing surface isn't cool by any stretch of the imagination. I would have hoped that someone called those pinheads out and told them to shut their mouths.

I was thinking last weekend after the series with UNO was over, that, looking at our remaining ten games, a 9-1 run (8-2 worst case scinario) was very realistic. I still believe that. I know we've got all bottom five teams remaining on the schedule, but you are going to lose some in this league. I absolutely love when we play UAA. In my opinion, they are the one team in this league that year in and year out can and will match us physically. And as a fan that aspect of the game, I get really jacked up for that series. And unlike the two "major metropolitan area" teams in the WCHA, you'll never hear, "Oh boo hoo. Big bad North Dakota plays to rough.' coming from the UAA camp. Dave Shyiak and his squad will always have my respect for that.

A lot of thing in play here with our goaltending situation. Does anyone know what the timetable is (might be) on Gothberg's arrival? If Dell can continue his level of play and with Gothberg on the horizon, I guess I'm wondering what that does to Eideness' mindset for coming back for his "senior" season considering that he graduates this spring as a junior? Like most of us, I figured that Eidesness would be the man this year and obviously enroll in graduate courses next year so he could continue to play.

Was Cichy hurt? He wasn't in the line-up this weekend.

One other thing of importance on Hextall's shorthander that is not to be overlooked: MacWilliam blocked four shots in about a 20-25 second span right before the shorty. Two of which he took in areas of the the body where it was puck on meat. And then to get an assist on the goal.............that's just top notch!

Got the Sioux on the radio and the Goofs on TV. Mariucci is half house at best.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo. Let's do a "Green-out".

I really like what they've done with those presentations. "In the Air Tonight" on Friday night, and "Where the Streets Have No Name" on Saturdays. I never get tired of watching those. It gets under my wife's skin a little that I always wanna be in our seats in time to see those. As far as the intro they play right before the starting line up, I'm not crazy about the symphonic ones. The one where they used the intro to "Wasted Years" by Iron Maiden was, musically, the best one by far.

Here's one that just happens to be my favorite: You can learn more about a person in an hour of play than in a lifetime of conversation. -Plato

I like University of North Dakota Northern Pike. State fish. One hell of a fresh water predator. There aren't a lot of colleges out there that go with the fish angle. Green, black, and white still work for team colors. And it has the same cadence as Fighting Sioux. I like it.

Central v Bismarck High in the state championship game. Also Cepis get credit for the game winner for the goofs. He just happened to be the last Gopher to touch the puck as the Duluth defender appears to knock the puck in his own net. Cepis (once again) acts like he's never scored before.

No question about it.

Too bad. Even though I'm American, I've always enjoyed CBC's coverage a little better that any of our own networks.

It just hit me. CBC has had zero coverage of the Olympics. What's the deal with that?

For my part, my black jersey just happens to be next in the rotation.................

In the game I watched, it was all Sioux until about the 15 minute mark of the second. After that, we got b eat all over the ice. Does any one else think that Blood is getting a little to big for his britches with his new found puck handling skills?

I know it was said that Frattin's situation could be re-evaluated at semester break, but Mario and Trupp wouldn't make comments like that without Hak's consent, would they?

The good news is that I'll save myself a couple hundred by NOT adding to my jersey collection.

I think they go out according to how much you give to the FSC. My wife and I are in the Century Club (the lowest one) and we've never gotten out tickets sooner than about two weeks before the hockey season. So I don't expect to see mine for a couple two three weeks yet.

Frattin is FAR better than a fourth liner. I'm thinking Frattin-Watkins-Trupp. You've got Watkins to muck it up, Frattin to set it up, and Trupp to finish it up. Malone needs to play a little smarter. I was really excited when I saw his size coming in as a freshman forward, because I like big forwards that play physical, but half the time he takes himself completely out of the play trying to paste a guy into the boards.

There is no reason why we can't host a holiday tourney at least every other year with some decent teams that a lot of us haven't seen.
