Goon

If I am not mistake old wise one, I believe I was agreeing with you. But since you are the all knowing on this web page we will let it go at that. Second Panzer is like third on the all time list so I believe he is close to a Hrkac in what he meant to this team. For someone to accomplish those numbers you would have to average 62 points a year for 4 years.

That is the point, Jeff Panzer would score in any way shape or form to win the game, he was a leader a crowd pleaser. I think having players like him made us spoiled. The point is that Jeff Panzer was a play maker, and was beloved by all of the fans. Drew Stafford is a wing with talent that appears to be going half speed most of the time, that every once in a while makes plays have you shaking his head, you want to see it more. Jeff Panzer did it all the time. Panzer was the Kirby Pucket of UND, come on guys lets go get the win and he took the team on his back and got it done. This years version of UND hockey appears to be used to losing or playing to compete and look good. UND is a team that is no longer feared. I don't know what it is maybe its the new arena. We got a bunch of pretty boys, but we need to the rough and tough blue chippers. We need players like Adam Calder and Matt Hendersons. I believe Zach and Bo were also those types of players. I am saying Drew is a good player, however, he is half as good as Jeff. I honestly don't know what the NHL is seeing in him that makes him a number one. If I was a GM I would rather have a guy like Colby Genoway or Lee Goren someone who leaves it on the ice, not someone who complains about being tired during a Weekend series.

I say we sign him, he sounds like a Prpich clone. We need a few players like him. I think we have too many pretty boys on the team we need a few to go into the corners and hit.

I was at the game where BSU got beat 6-2 by Niagra, there is no reason UND should ever lose to BSU, and a loss to them would be unexceptable and rule the Sioux not playoff worthy in my opinion.

Jeff Panzer had 228 points for his career. I don't think Stafford is half the player Jeffie was.

I would give Hak a B/B- rating for the season so far. For the poll I answered B-, but that could change if the Sioux get into the NCAA tourney and make some noise. I guess there is nothing wrong with a B rating, but there is room for improvement. I would give goaltening and defense a A-/B+ and scoring/offense a B/B-. These are higher ratings than I gave Vikings coach Mike Tice. I have him a C- for his efforts this season. I did expect more from the current UND hockey team since there is still a good group of players that returned from last season.

And they can probably drink more beer than you and I put togther.

Sweet. Ducks on the pond. Oops that baseball.

They might want to attend SCSU.

I figured you were being sarcastic as was I. I am sick and tired of people threating the Sioux players and coaches with Kids Gloves, the coddeling must stop. Call it what it is, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck (I know a duck reference) it is a duck. Recruits are not going to change their mind because of what Goon, Sprig, Scott_M, Forecheck or Dagies think or write on a fan web page, PCM maybe, buts thats a different story he is a media guru/beat writer.

And now we have the clowned prince of the Gophers/WCHA in the booth for for the FOX SPORTS NET (formally Minnesota Gophers Sports Network).

No offense to the pollsters but I don't think Minny, Wisco and Michigan are that far above UND. Besides Wisconsin has 6/10 on the road. This weekend should be a wake up call for UND. The ball is in their court.

Dags, you have to be kidding? We talking about young men not a bunch of 15 year old girls with low self esteem.

Actually I lived out in the Boston area for a couple of years and used to take in Bruins and Sox games, up to this year I followed the Bruins on the NHL hockey package, up until the lock out this season. I am happy as heck that the BoSox beat the dirty Yankees. I think nothing is more obnoxious than Yankees fans. Gopher fans are tame compared to them. I love Fenway park the place rocks, its a throw back stadium, to bad we are tearing all of these stadiums down. However, I more of a Bruins fan than a Sox fan. People in North Dakota I don't really know how rabbid the sports fans in the Boston area are. I remember when I moved to the the Boston area in 1988 after being stationed in Germany, the Boston area was still smarting/mad as hell about losing the world serieds. I can remember how bitter Sox Fans were with Bob Stanley (AKA the Steamer) they blamed him for losing the series, these fas were even so mad that some of them destroyed his kids toys that has been left in his yard. People dispised Bill Buckner for missing the easy play at I belive first base that cost the Red Sox the series. Some still think he was on the take.

I was wondering if anyone knows how he got out of this Army committment?

Actually it was between periods last night during the period break. Tim H has interviewed him on tape and played it between periods.

You are having problems with your reading comprehension skills no one that I remember said Greene sucks. They said he is taking stupid penalties at the wrong time was hurting the team and selfish and maybe he should go to the NHL.

You have to be a 13 year old. Players do not care what is written on a message board frequented by fans. We fans not coaches. Get a grip. If you go to Montreal or Boston the papers are harsh on players that play poor as well as the fans. Ask Bob Stanley in Boston after he gave up the winning hit that won the game for the Mets and lost it for the Sox. I am pretty sure these kids can take a little criticizism. If you listened to Greene in his interview with Tim H. He took no ownership for the penalty he took at the end of the game, Matt was blaming the ref. What a leader.

I forget.

I suppose UofM has a goaltending controversy now with JJ winning tonight.

Actually I am going to go up stairs because my dog Dakota is tearing the basement appart. I going to watch football. I was looking forward to the updates so I can check them out later. Can't find internet broad cast for the C.C. game anywheres.
