Have heard that from so many fanbases, mostly Gopher fans(who by the way had 2 of the oldest guys ever to play in the WCHA in Woog and Debus) but others as well, even heard it this weekend in St. Cloud. So is it true? Doesn't seem to add up? UND Freshman Forwards(ages are how old they are or will be by seasons end) avg. 19.8 Trupp 20 Frattin 20 Davidson 21 Malone 18 SCSU Freshman Forwards avg. 19.7 Mosey 19 Marvin 19 Roe 20 Barta 21 Osland 20 Volpei 19 UND Sophmore Forwards avg. 20.3 Zajac 21 Vandevelde 21 Forney 19 SCSU Sophmore Forwards avg. 21.3 Lasch 21 Nodl 21 Peckscamp 22 UND Junior Forwards avg. 21.7 Oshie 21 Martens 23 Kozek 21 Miller 22 Duncan 22 Watkins 21 SCSU Junior Forwards avg. 23 Borgen 23 Olson 23 UND Senior Forwards avg. 23 Kaip 24 Radke 22 SCSU Senior Forwards avg. 23.7 Mjelli 25 Hartmann 23 Dey 23 UND Freshman D avg. 20 Lapoint 19 Marto 21 SCSU has no freshman D UND Sophmore D avg. 21 Genoway 21 SCSU Sophmore D avg. 21.7 Ammerman 20 Raboin 23 Gaudet 22 UND Junior D 20.3 Finley 20 Chorney 20 Jones 21 SCSU Junior D avg. 22.5 Carlisle 23 Swanson 22 UND Senior D avg. 25 Bina 25* *had medical redshirt season SCSU Senior D avg. 23 Brocklehurst 22 Anderson 23 Stephenson 24 Doesn't add up? Next excuse? edited

I got an A in racquetball, but had to sweat it out a bit because he hates to lose. The rumor was if you beat him he would give you a lower grade, but truth was if you showed up and passed the written test you got what you deserved. We had a some pretty good players in that class, I think only 3 of the people were able to beat him though.

Planning on buying tickets at game. Probably just get standing room tix. Last 3 times in St. Cloud have went like this. Saw guy standing with a fan of tix, he wanted $10 each, was getting money out to buy a couple and another guy taps me on the shoulder and says how many you need and do you need for Saturday too? I tell him yes and he hands me 2 tix for each game....FREE Same process, guy hands me 2 free tix for Friday game. At Howies on Saturday, the guy running the pulltabs has 2 tix for sale sitting on the counter(we are just planning on buying standing rooms and as we are walking out he offers the tix for $5 total, we give him $10 and hop on the bus. Last year, bought standing rooms for $10 or $12 on Friday and then on Saturday I bought 2 tix for $10 each from a st. cloud fan at Howies.(bought him a few drinks after game) Net 6 games, 12 tix, $50. In short, shouldn't be a big deal to get tix this weekend. For the record, I prefer to stand and did for all six games so not even sure where my tickets were located.

As someone who gambles a little, I know that when making a wager you should look at trends. That said, seeing how these are away games, the sioux lose Friday, win Saturday. On another note, Petey23 will probably have a little(or maybe alot) of the Captain in his system both nights.

Off the top of my head, my preferences would be 1. Kyle Schweigert 2. Tim Tibesar 3. Roger Thomas 4. Craig Bohl 5. Tom Dosch 6. Chris Mussman 7. Randy Hedberg

Actually, Jefferson beat red River in a game in which their goaltender stole for them as Red River thoroughly carried the play and even according to the Jefferson coach was the better team.

On 2nd thought, maybe there is something to this development theory after all. 2004 NHL Entry Draft 5. Wheeler 13. Stafford 20. Zajac 24. Chucko Summary: While it is not true that Don Lucia is unable to develop players to move onto the NHL, it is probably true that Don and his staff really don't stack up compared to Dave Hakstol and his staff.

The Kelly Inn is where myself and a few others will be. Been down for this series the last few years and their are usually alot of Sioux fans there. I think the team stays their as well. They have a Green Mill in the Hotel as well. Also within walking distance of the downtown bars. I think there has been a UND gathering in the past, but I have not attended it. We usually go to Howies Bar(think of a bigger Hub bar with a larger menu). they will bus you to and from the game and give you a Cab Voucher at the end of the night. Pretty cool hangout and have met some very cool St. Cloud fans there over the years.

He was in the Oilers system until he was released in the summer of 2002, so I was right in saying he is not in the Edmonton system anymore, but at one time was. And not to nitpick , but it was the Jackson Bandits who he played with, he now plays for the Mannheim Eagles in Germany....but thanks for pointing out your vastly superior hockey knowledge.

I guess Adam "wie magst du mich jetzt?" Hauser is not in the Edmonton system anymore.

I think K.O. is a malcontent. Don't get me wrong, I think Lucia is a condescending, hypocritical, ego-maniac.....but in this case I think he was truely trying to take a little heat off of Kyle Okposo as he knew what kind of heat his decision would draw from Gopher Nation(the kid is from Minnesota and is now a pariah) and OK, maybe saying that the Islanders put KO in a tough situation makes the U of M look a little better too, but for the most part he was trying to look out for KO in this situation and made what I really consider a throw away comment about the Isles. KO did not want to be at Minnesota this year and I am sure as he had conversations with the Isles brass whined about it a bit, or alot. The Isles see that with his attitude their number one draft pick is basicly wasting his time this year in Minnesota so they decide to pull him out. Garth Snow should have just taken the high road and said we know it's a tough situation but after talking with our scouts and personnel decision makers and Kyle we just felt it was best for all involved to make the move now...and left it at that, rather than let his ego get in the way and try and talk himself into beleiving that this is a good precedent to set.

Feb. 9, 5:00 Isles at Wild

How bout if Garth just said something along the lines of we are happy to have Kyle in our system and it was a tough decision for him and us to make at this point in the season, but after talking with Kyle we just felt that this was the best decision to make at this time for all involved. NO Class, kind of like some of the players and teammates of Garth's on the Maine teams who never attended class at Maine..... Sorry, felt like taking a potshot their.

Looking at his Bio, it looks like his brother played for the Jacks.

Wow! All I can say is wow! This situation could get ugly, or in this case uglier. I can't believe that an NHL GM would blast a coach and program like that. I think everyone loses in this situation in the short term. Okposo is a puke for bailing on his teammates, but in the long run he will probably be alright. The Islanders show a lack of class for encouraging him to leave and a total lack of class for blasting a program that is one of the standard bearers in College Hockey and a coach who has had a pretty good track record over the years. The Gophers and coaching staff come out looking bad in this and it could certainly have a negative affect on recruiting as it is the nature of the business that a recruit will be asked by opposing coaches and recruiters if they are confident that going to Minnesota will be the best move for a kid who wants to play in the NHL. The whole thing stinks.

Sioux on faceoffs this season are winning around 51%, this needs to improve as puck possession has always been a staple in the Sioux success. Players who have taken the majority of the draws are as follows. The last 2 season we were at 52% and the year before was 53%. Oshie was much better last year, winning 59% and we had Toews winning 57% of his. Vandevelde 128-102 Kaip 119-138 Zajac 71-70 Oshie 54-51 Martens 29-24 Trupp 39-47 Kozek 19-10

I have set up a group if anyone wants to enter. Win the group and you win bragging rights on sportsrubes, win it all(against everyone) and win all kinds of prizes including up to $100,000(if you get them all right). Easy to set up. Enter now, first game is December 20. Picks are based on the pointspread site is www.bodoglife.com group name is sportsrubes pasword is rubes Good Luck!

I'll fill out the answer key in the next couple days!

I agree with Woog. Being physical isn't all about hitting. The Gophers were moving our guys around pretty good when we were trying to cycle in their zone...now whether that is them being stonger and more physical than us or playing with a little more desperation and desire is up for debate, but either way it wasn't good.

That's not true. I sit right there and when Trupp was getting mugged I saw Campion clearly take his whistle out of his mouth and hollar at the gopher player to knock it off...3 times.

Speaking of numbers, how about the App. State qb's numbers yesterday? 31 rushes 313 yards 4 td 14-16 passing for 182 yards and 3 td Not bad. And no, there were not 4 overtimes in this game.

Anyone who thinks this series will be lopsided is fooling themselves. It wasn't that long ago that UND went to mariucci arena a decided underdog given only a slim chance of not embarrssing themselves and no chance of winning, according to most gopher fans and even a few Sioux fans. Hopefully the Sioux can continue their strong home play on Friday nights and put themselves in position to right the ship and get a sweep on Saturday night.

Sioux Yeah Yeah!

My feed is awesome, once I got it.

Next Friday night, it's on. Bubble Hockey at the Ralph! Dean Blais vs. Doug Woog Who do you like? corrected. Had a few Vodka Red Bulls
