  1. I said that Spirko has been more consistent offensively while Zajac has been the better two-way player. Zajac probably got the honor because of greater name recognition.

    I don't think that is fair to Zajac when you say that. Spirko had a really good year and had to have fallen just short of making the team, but Zajac had just as good of year and his play in all areas of the game are what really impressed me. Obviously his name recognition didn't hurt him, but saying that is why he was on the team and not Sparky is not fair to Zajac.

  2. Michigan Tech places 3 players on the All-WCHA teams. Obviously Murphy had a great year and you can make a case for Ellsworth, but putting 3 players on these teams when you finish in the bottom of the standings once again is a joke.

  3. Point well taken.  I completly agree but I couldn't believe that I had heard people at the arena saying they thought Brandt would get a nod.

    Who did you hear? A couple men standing around the beer stand?

  4. Of course not. That's my job. (Except for CRR)

    Thank you, :lol::D

    I'm just glad Purpur got his application in for the job, I was getting tired of listening to Sweeney every night during the sports, talk about how Purpur "plans on applying for the position".

  5. Plus, don't you think if they closed up the gap between game-times on Friday and Saturday, that if the Gophers played in the afternoon, most of those fans would stick around for the night game, thereby INCREASING attendance overall?

    great point

  6. Is the Game on Thursday on TV ? (any real TV)

    How about Friday & Sat. ?

    Are thre any good deals on flights to the games Friday or just sat. ? - Airlines ? Charter ? - Private ? (Grand Forks or Fargo ?) for 4

  7. He had one hell of a shot from the point too. I think if he was taller he probably would have made the NHL by now.

    He was so much fun to watch. His offensive skills, combined with his solid defensive play made him one of the better all around dmen this school has ever had.

  8. Congrats to the team on another very good season. I know everyone is disappointed in the outcome, but another successful season for Roebuck and the women's team. The upcoming years look like they are going to be very good as well, with the unbelieveable recruits the Sioux have been landing.

  9. I don't know why people get so up in arms about some fans leaving a little early.  It isn't a mass exodus like at gopher games.  Some of the same people getting so upset live in Minneapolis and could very well be here themselves.  I have a friend that drives down for just about every series, but I don't cast stones at those who don't do the same and say they are any less fans.  Everyone knows there was plenty of tickets, so you can't use that as an excuse.  Let's put it this way, at least they came to an important playoff series, and many of them are from a distance away as well.  Maybe they didn't want to get home really late.  Just remember, they have reasons for leaving early just like you have reasons for not being here.  By the way, I don't leave games until the final buzzer, but I am just saying that jumping on people not knowing their reasons can go both ways.

    Great post!! I'm not sure why people on here get all worried about people leaving early either. I have friends who come from the cities for every weekend series, and they usually leave saturday games early, when the scores permits them to, to make a jump on heading back. At least these people are attending the games.

  10. True that Diggler.  Maybe the Ice Cream thing is because of some promotional deal that they have perhaps?  Like if the Bulldogs win or score a certain number of goals, they get free Ice Cream perhaps.  :lol:

    Huh?

    What?

  11. As long as the Sioux get to play a game on Friday, I could give a rat's ass if it's in the afternoon or evening. Makes no difference to me at all, but I can understand where it is in the best interest of the league to have the local team playing in prime time.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    I understand that it is also, in the best interest of raising the most money, however when that rule can give that team an advantage, than I don't believe it is a fair rule.
