You realize your asking me to go back like 7 or 8 years. How many non CHL players have played for Canada in the WJC? How many before Toews? I know Jayden Schwartz played recently. You don't think hockey Canada favors the CHL and tries to influence?

I'd have to do some digging. If I recall correctly, it wasn't like "let's not invite that 17 year old Toews kid to camp" I thought it was more like "Hey 16 year old Toews kid, you know how you've always wanted to play in the world juniors, well going to the states for college isn't going to help your chances, you'd be a lot better off playing in the dub"

Hockey Canada would NEVER condescend to having a US college coach. They almost blacklisted Toewser for playing college hockey instead of WHL. WJC is a week and a half super bowl up north.

Cary kept showing off his championship rings and Dave couldn't take it anymore?

I seem to remember circumstances where guys would be playing their teammates in the past...so I think you can do it, and the Mankato game reinforces that. On another note, hockey will never be to the US what it is to Canada. Hockey is to Canada what Football is to Texas and Hoops is to Indiana combined.

I'm always surprised by the anti-US venom our friends to the north spew in this tourney. It is so bad it is clearly a complex. They also always have the talent, it's just a matter of whether or not they can pull it together.

so, if he gets convicted of theft, this will do more than ruin his UND career. It will limit his opportunities for other employment. Cant go into financial services with a theft conviction (lots of irony here, I know)

I'm a Sioux hockey fan and a fan of the US constitution...innocent until proven guilty.

Dude- everyone knows its a phone booth not a delorean.

Everyone remember the pitchfork crowd when Osh got in trouble with the elevator? Then it turned out he was stuck in there..

Maybe he had to use the can really badly...he ran into VD to avoid urinating or pooping in the cab, then was in there for a long time due to a line or a biological issue...who knows. Hak suspends him for a legal run in. Fair enough. Once all details are cleared up and it is proven to be intentional or accidental or a misunderstanding, then Hak will determine his future on the team.

I'm not passionate either way, I just give people the benefit of the doubt. Especially college kids over something that seems too trivial to believe it is the whole story. Athlete or not, this seems odd.

There is a time traveling phone booth in Valley Dairy in GF

He might've thought someone already paid for the cab or some other issue. Maybe someone else got dropped off at his place. Maybe he was drunk and gave a bad credit card #. Who knows. It is just highly unlikely he would risk serious trouble over $4. It sounds to me like circumstances. Maybe he had a reason for not paying and got into a dispute, refusing to pay, where the cabbie then decided to go to the cops. At least he didn't beat the guy ala Patrick Kane. Maybe it had to do with correct change or something. Maybe the fare was $9 and he thinks he gave the cabbie a $10 and the cabbie insists it was a $5. $4 is not intentional theft. No way.

too much speculation for me to pass judgment. If it was a cab fare for $4, what were the circumstances? When did it occur? His other two incidents are non-issues for me...the team initiation party and SpringFest after the season was over...he's in college. He doesn't need an intervention. Hak HAS to suspend him pending final resolution however.

This seems right to me. I originally thought that there were coincidentals. Knowing that they weren't, it should have been a 4-3 UND pp for 2 and then a 5-4 WMU pp for 2 with Panz in the box for 4.

waiting for whistles to get out of the penalty box??? Also, you have to consider what I wrote- what about an ensuing penalty? All PIMs might equal out, but when applied to different players, you have to penalize each player according to his "sentence".

It should've been a 5-4 UND pp for 2 minutes, then a 5-4 WMU pp for 2 minutes with Panz in the box for all 4 minutes. IS there still a 3rd man in penalty? Or am I dating myself- timewise, not romantically

Shots attempted from high quality opportunities? Hard to discern from a shot chart...was a shot from the point a pseudo-dump by a forward going off on a line change or was it a well-screened one timer on the pp...shot chart doesn't show that

I sure hope there were 40 shots attempted and WMU just blocked a bunch or we missed the net. Otherwise 16 shots makes it seem like a pretty lucky win.

SOmebody must've been lobbying...you just can't do it the way they did it. What if there was another penalty? There is a huge difference between a 5-3 or a 4-3 PP and a normal 5-4 PP. It just illustrates that the refs were calling it to make it "even"

Haha

20 minutes vs 120 minutes to .500

And should they receive revenue as a middleman when the customer doesn't get what they paid for? If I sell you a bond that I am buying from someone else, and you and I expect it to yield 5 percent, but it actually yields 4 percent should I get to keep your money?
