Goon

I was thinking maybe even Honkers or Slough Rats.

I honestly don't know its the ones that we paid for with our tickets, I think they are the ones that are $55.00, wether I can go in a bar or not is irrelevant to me. I sit in the upper deck and I watch the game, and I have no problem consuming beer in my seat. Personally I think its actually a waste to have the bars in the arena because they distract from the games... Just my humble opinion. I think its funny that we have people that complain about everything, who cares if you can't go in the bar go down to the beer vender and get some beer, its all about the hockey on the ice... I actually wouldn't be surprised if the policy changes by the end of the season anyways.

Honestly I could care less. I like the fact that my seat is a good seat and that I will be drinking beer and watching hockey. I have no problem with REA wanting to make money. This isn't the old Ralph this is a nice hockey arena.

Well it looks like the NHL is going out on work stoppage. The owners and players are far appart. A word to the wise, don't order your NHL center ice till there is a season. NHL=No hockey Leage

Good, nice to see us recruit a goalie over 5'8" I can't wait to see it now. UND goalies floating in the read river. Really not a bad idea. Jordan will be a Jr, and Phil will be a soph. You need three goalies. Things also change in college from year to year...

I would question wether they will still be open by that time. Valley Golf is another good selection in East Grand Forks. They will ussually stay open till the ground is covered with snow.

I am not sure what they could be whinning about since it was pretty much a drubbing by UND.

They will be playing in the AHL.

Any Idea to who your neighbor might be? Just wondering.

Oh Darn...

Phil is still going to have to beat out Jordan then Brandt...

Her voice can shattter glass...

Was it in Sid's column today? I haven't seen it as of yet. Lawton is his agent eh? I am surprised he didn't pick Neil Sheehy.

I asked the scout from Columbus when he was in town for the World Junior Prelims if Karl G had a chance of playing with Columbus this season. He said the chanes were slim and none. Then he said something to the effect of them signing Artus Irbe as the back up. I told the guy that Irbe was too old and was washed up. I guess that is why they pay these guys the big bucks and we sit in the stands.

So Is Bochenski ever going to sign or what???

What are you guys seeing with UofWisconsin. I am not seeing that great of a team. I see a team that is really young with a decent goalie that gets hot. I think UofM an UND are more talented...

Ok I better get this going. Where do you think UND finishes. I see too much gloom and doom. Here are my picks. 1. UND 2. UMD 3. Minnesota 4. C.C. 5. Wisconsin 6. DU 7. SCSU 8. MSU-M 9. MTU 10. UAA UND is still a good team without Bucks and Zack.

This also good since the UND hockey schedule this fall only has one weekend of hockey during prime time Ducktober. Much better than the last couple of seasons where there was hockey every weekend and you had to leave the field early to get back into town to see hockey.

It was in the Heraldo this week. I am sure you can order it on line or from the Ralph Pro Shop. I am hoping they give it out like they did the first year.

There is going to be another fight on Sioux book too.

Pretty Boy Vanek is gone. Wow, what are we going to talk about next? I suppose we could talk about who is goalies are better UND or UofM? I am going out on a limb and saying the October 23rd and 24th Series at the Ralph is going to be exciting.

Thats just it. You have team like MSU-M, SCSU, Wisconsin, MTU, UAA and Denver to a certain degree that can't skate with teams like UND, UofM, CC so they resort to the hooking, slashing, holding... Horrible hockey to watch.

Too bad the refs separated them so early. Blake is tough as nails. I think he might actually be 5'8"
