Mad Man

Robby Earl, he's much too ugly! There is only one man, err I mean one Wookie for Forecheck.

Watched Warroad beat Thief River Falls 4-1 at the little Ralph tonight. It was a great experience, haven't been to a high school hockey game since the early 90's. The atmosphere was awsome, both schools were well represented with loud cheering fans and each schools band took turns from opposite corners of the arena energizing their fans. It obviously makes a big difference having the band and students right down by the ice. Warroad was clearly the better team and should do well representing Section 8 at the state tourny. I was very impressed with the play of Oshie and look forward to seeing him in a Sioux uniform. Noticed in warmups that he has a nice hard low slap shot, but unfotunitely didn't get an oppurtuninty to show it off in the game. He had 1 goal and at least 1 maybe 2 assists (both the goal he scored and 1 he assisted on were scored with him planted in front of the goalie). I was impressed with his puck skills, the way the crashed the net, and how strong on his skates he was. He should do well as a star player for UND, he already has experience with having guys hang on him, crosscheck him in the back of the head, trip him and take cheap slashes at him away from the play, all without any calls. I'm not possitive but I could have swore I saw Hak and Berry up in the pressbox maybe getting a look at some more possible recruits.

After reading this post, it seems to me you may have a few too many in you already. Parise won't be playing Friday afternoon (he isn't in high school) maybe Saturday though. Good luck shooting the Moon with your three lady friends though.

I won't be complaining next year when hopefully all UND has to do is limp into the tournament as a #16 seed and have home ice advantage.

No you got it all wrong, Minnesota already won the league back in November. CC has 38 points with a possible 4 more with two games left with Denver. UW has 33 points with a possible 8 more with four games left with UND & UMD. With the five point lead if CC sweeps Denver they would be outright champs no matter what happens to Wisconsin. Denver has the better chance with 36 points and two games in hand. Two in Mankato and a home and home with CC.

This looks like a sign from the hockey Gods..... I'm playing the lottery this weekend.

Backchecking forwards???

Ryan Hale will be Coach??

Don't know if it is a league thing or not. If it is DU should be getting in trouble. On UMD's fifth goal tonight it looked like Peluso tipped it in with a high stick. Mason reviewed the goal and let it stand. The anouncers said the crowd started to boo when they got another look on the big screen. If they show replays of questionable calls in Denver they should show them at the Ralph.

If I remember correctly Brad Defaw was going to join the football team as a kicker but Blais didn't let him due to injury concerns. Not to mention the overlapping of seasons.

Just thought the Management at the Ralph figured out a new way to make more money. They just trade the winning cap in to coke for more product and they more then double their profit. I was wrong though. I bought a pop at the last game and asked if the cap was a winner. It was, the concession lady gave it to me and told me to just keep it in my pocket.

Thanks for bringing that up. I didn't even look at the times of the games, just assumed they were Friday and Saturday nights.

About as long as it takes to get Lammy's sisters on campus.

Sounds like all three of them, Sal, Billy and Poncho, are one in the same.

I was staring right at Rory when he speared the Beaver player. Not sure who he was but Rory was definitely bothered by him. I can't exactly remember what he did to Rory but the spear was in retaliation. It was obvious and it helped that the Beaver player sold it well by dropping to the ice as soon as it happened. They had him on the big screen right after the whistle, he got up and went to the bench with a big grin on his face (he did a good job selling the penalty and he knew it). Don't think Campion had a choice but to call the penalty. He couldn't call it a rough, slash, or anything like that, it was an obvious spear.

Please pass my condolences on to Betsy, June and any one else close to Poncho. BTW: What hospital preformed his surgery?

Oh I thought maybe she was planting spring flowers in University Park.

Great, So what you're saying is BSU is almost 3 times more likely to sweep the Sioux than Tech sweeping Goldy. I think it will be close but the Sioux should sweep.
