Goon

The way its going its going to Be UMD and UND playing for the right to play in the play in game at the final five.

I am all for it.

Your right they have reverted to BACK to reffing the way things were last season. Muggings clutching and grabbing. C.C. does this quite well.

Redwing I don't think your getting the point. People are upset with Greene because of the lack of discipline he has displayed this season. Greene took a stupid penalty for the umpteenth time this season, it could have been seen as selfish play. Matt hurt the team again, its becoming the MO for the UND hockey team, they aren't playing as a team they are playing as groups of players, without any unity at all. They are just going through the motions. Last night actuallywas positive up until the point we got into penatly trouble. I think maybe the guys need a wake up call from Carey Eades or something. Actually at times I think maybe Eades is the one that should be the head coach the one leading this team. They have no heart. I think they need more players like Prpich out there giving their all and playing banged up. I miss the days of taking a stupid penatly you head to the locker room after. Miss a defensive play you sit. I am not sure why you believe that fans can't criticize the plays our players. They are not gods they are hockey players. Greene's un-timely penalty last night killed any chance that UND had of getting back in the game. Prpich's just salted it away even further, although I can forgive big Mike he is one of the few that play every play of every game. The guy played with a sore sholder. People should expect more from their so called team leaders like Greene. That is why he is wearing the "C" these kids shouldn't be immune from criticizism. The 2004-2005 version of the fighting Sioux have dissappointed this year. Right now they are flurting with not even making the tourney. It appears that guys are happy just to be on the team. With this team there is no reason they should finish in 5th place in the WCHA...

We are kidding ourselves if think that Matt will be here next season.

According to the owner of the Carolina Hurricanes he thinks the season will be lost and stated he could afford to bag another season if he has to, to get a labor agreement. It doesn't look well for the NHL.

Well said.

I actually wasn't sold on him when he was doing better earlier in the season. I know there are Gophers fans out there that feel the same way. I am sure that if Lucia has any confidence in J.J. he would be out on the ice.

Sweeny commented that they weren't breaking when WDAZ was either. Incidently, we missed one of the C.C. goals.

Wow, WPos I don't think rotating goalies is a sign of weakness. C.C. rotates goalies and I don't think they are weak, nor do I assume that you feel they are either. That being said I think its the fact that Lucia doesn't have any confidence in J.J. is the reason your team isn't rotating goalies.

Maybe he wants to serve his country? There are a few of us out there that feel this way. The service academies are awesome schools academically and I know Army has a great enginering degree program, once you get out of your obligation you can land a great job. I can't fault a kid for that.

And it was a horrible feed I might add.

The Real Briggs is back. My brother called me from the X-Cel and said that Briggs gave up 4 goals in 5 shots. Wow. I wonder if JJ will get a start soon. LoL

I believe your right, its time for Quinn to take a seat but I am sure many don't want us to go there because he is a ND kid, we have a few ND kids out there not doing much but taking up space. The kid has done nothing this season. I thought UND out played C.C. but lost on a bad break, untimely turn over or a defensive lasp. If C.C. is the best team in the nation UND is right behind them then.

If I am not mistaken I think I called that earlier this season. Hum, Briggs can't stop a beach ball all of a sudden. Funny...

Ha, ha, ha, ha... I was wondering if your were still around. How about MSU-M renting to X-Cel to make money for their athletic department. Might come back to haunt the Mavs. I can see 13,000 screaming gophers fans there and 4,000 mavs fan at best. The MSU-M athletic department just did the Gophers a favor.

I wouldn't count on Greene being back.

Oh I feel so bad for Michigan (not) for them not being able to have all of the Regional tourneys at Yost ice arena. I wonder how we get UofM to not keep getting the regional all of the time, like it wasn't a major advantage in 2002...

I hardly doubt that some player is going to give two rips what the fans say on a message board.

Hennessy's response was he is either going to Michigan or Minnesota.

I think your preaching to the choir here because most of us know that FSN is highly biased and has trouble seeing the perspective of anything but the maroon and gold. I think Masucko is one of the biggest clowns doing college hockey today. Woog I can forgive beause he was the coach of the Goofers and also a former player. I think that is why many of us watch the goofers play just to watch them lose and that there is no other hockey on right now as a result of the lock out. I know I personally take great pride in watching the Goofer loose in hockey. I enjoyed last weekend's series, however, the tigers play caugh my eye and think the Sioux are going into a hornets nest this weekend.

Actually I think Schneider played good last weekend as well as Jones and Prpich. If I remember right Greene didn't spend a lot of time in the box either as a result of stupid penalties. I don't understand where Fylling has been all season though. Quinn seems to have been relegated to 4th line duty.

I believe it would do the Sioux some good in the rankings. Can't hurt.
