I think we are getting closer to a EA Sports College Hockey game in itself. With MVP NCAA Baseball coming out I think in the next couple year they will have NCAA hockey. You can't tell me that NCAA baseball has more fans than NCAA hockey. I can't wait.

May I ask why you are doing this research. Are you that big of a hockey fan? I have no idea where you could find something like that. If the UND Sports Info Director won't help you then it could be searching for a needle in a hay stack.

A lot of the blame has to fall on Hakstol. This is ridiculous. I haven't been in the locker room when he is talking, but it doesn't seem like the Sioux have changed their play anywhere in this game. Hakstol needs to convince his team that cheap shots are not the way to get even.

Thank you very much AZSIOUX. That was a big help.

Does anyone know where I can find the overall record between the Sioux vs. the Gophers? A link would be helpful.

Great thread.

I can't tell you how much I am pumped for the game tonight. There are a bunch of Gopher fans coming over because those are the only kinds of fans down here. I have my "We Are The Champions" ringtone ready to go though. It's going to be an intense weekend. I don't think you can say the Sioux will easily sweep this weekend just because they are a better team. Records and statistics have to be thrown away when these teams meet. I just hope the Sioux can play 6 hard periods and put the puck in the net. I'm not worried about Parise; he's solid.

You wouldn't see a player in any other of the major sports doing something like that. Hockey players are down to Earth people.

I really wish there was a video of the report. I would love to see it. If the report was about what everyone says it was about it's unreal. It makes no difference what Ralph did in his own spare time. If he wants to throw a Hitler party that's his business. If you don't like it then don't go to it. It's a free country. If Ralph told ABC that they could have $110 million of his money do you really think they would say no. I seriously doubt it. I didn't hear anything about Jeremy Schaap coming to Grand Forks to even look at the Engelstad Arena. He probably stayed in his cubicle and searched on google for "Ralph Engelstad." Bobby Knight was absolutely correct when he said to Schaap, "You got a long way to go to be as good as your dad, you better keep that in mind." He is a terrible reporter.

I searched ABC News and their was a story last night (Dec. 5th) called SIGN OF THE TIMES ON THIN ICE. Is that it? I couldn't find a video of it though. What did it talk about?

Does anyone have a link for the piece? I would like to see it.

Phil Kessel is the Michael Vick of the WCHA. He is so overrated it's not funny.

I'm sorry. I would like to take back my statement that I made earlier about Stafford not stepping up this year. I haven't paid close enough attention I guess. I have been too lazy to look at stats. Drew is averaging 1.12 points per game this season along with 3 shorties and 3 power play goals. Obviously, I am a moron for saying what I said.

It's about time Stafford steps up and makes something happen. It seems like he was kind of slow in getting on a roll this season. He should be the scoring machine on this team. If Stafford starts playing consistently the way he played against Michigan Tech this Sioux team will be very tough to beat. The scoring is there and so is the goaltending. If the defense can play solid the Sioux will be able to compete with Wisconsin.

I understand what you mean now. It sounded like you were ripping the show. My bad. I apologize.

PA is the man. He is an awesome announcer and without him the P.A. & Dubay show would be nothing.

Can someone stop watching the video so I can watch it? I was all pumped for it too.

Do you listen to PA & Dubay? It's a very entertaining show. One of the best on the radio. You don't have to agree with everything they say, but just because they're Gopher fans don't rip their show.

I have two Siberian Huskies and last night when I came back from the Sioux game I noticed they were acting funny in their kennel. I brought them inside the house and noticed they had blood all over their mouth and legs. I went back out to their kennel and flipped the light on and saw a dead gopher laying on the floor. The dogs and caught the gopher and were sucking on it. Huskies beat the Gophers twice last night! Go Sioux!!!

You can't let a guy like Pauk go unpunished for that crap that he did to Bina. I don't care about suspensions he must get his butt whooped. It's how it goes. Don't tell me you don't want to see violence either. Everyone wants to see violence. I elect Smaby to clean his dirty clock.

Will a Sioux player ever again win the Hobey Baker? yes, because the Sioux recruit the top players in the country. However, UND needs to keep these elite players, like the Zach Parises, around for more than 2 years. It's hard to see a freshman winning the award unless they are from Minnesota or out east. If a player does have a great freshman year the odds of him duplicating that season are small so UND must find a way to keep these players.

This is absolute crazy talk at this point in the season. Parise has shut outs against Miami (OH) and Northeastern. Two teams that I would not consider with solid offense. Lets just relax and enjoy the beat downs we are putting on some crappy teams.

I've been praying the whole tournament that the Sioux and Denver would meet in the finals. Praise the Lord, my prayers have been answered! Paukovich deserves to be punished for the hit he put on Robbie Bina. I hope the Sioux can give what is coming to him early in the game, and then get on with playing the game. I don't wish any serious injury on Paukovich but he definitely deserves a thundering hit by a Sioux player. Win it ALL for Robbie! Go Sioux!

Eddie Belfour can't be Doug Flutie because he didn't do two things that Flutie did. First, Belfour didn't make the greatest play in college hockey--Flutie's hail mary. Secondly, Belfour didn't win the Hobey--Flutie won the Heisman.

GoldieBodie, your cockiness will come back and bite you in the butt. Believe me, it has happened to me.
