Goon

Thinking of hockey tonight I was watching the Thrasher - Oilers game tonight. At the end of the third period a hugh melee broke out. Even the goalies ened up facing off at center ice, there were fights breaking out all over the place on the ice, Andy Sutton was whopping up Eric Brewer, and one of the Atlanta players ended up throwing an oiler player into the Atlanta box, at this time the Atlanta player proceded to kick the Oiler player that was on the opposing bench A$$. Now the catch to all this was Atlanta's goalie Byron Dafoe had pulled his groin earlier in the game and had to leave the game/ice during the second period, leaving Atlanta with one goalie so when Ty Conklin dropped the gloves with Atlanta's goalie (I can't spell is name or remember it) at center ice both of the goalies got thrown out of the game after the fight. This caused Atlanta to finish playing the game with-out a goalie to play the rest of the game. Interesting. So I would have to say that I like NHL hockey the most, followed by College hockey.

Actually it might be because Bruckler is a big goalie (Mass and Size wise) too, of all the games I have seen him play: Bruckler is either really on or really not very good. It sounded like Bruckler has been in the zone all year. Either that or our shooters hit a cold spot...

Who is this TROLL?

One thing I have notice is that the band has stopped playing over the "Who's he, he sucks..."

I think it is going to be hard to just say ok no more profanity. How do you find out who is using profanity, you just can't throw out the whole student section, nor would I want them to do that. I think the Students help make the arena loud and get the fans going so the place doesn't sound like a morgue.

I am sure that the clowed prince of the WCHA Doug Woug will bring it up at every chance that he gets. Also look for Wooger to work over the officating and bring up every penatly that isn't called. You might want to turn down the sound and listen to your own announcers. That way you don't have to listen to the pro-Minnesota bias.

Here is the link: http://pub182.ezboard.com/fcctigerhockeyfrm1 There isn't too much going on there right now, I am not sure if it has something to do with how the Tigers have faired this year or not, there was a lot of stuff going on last year at this time.

Ah, you can make it, study before the movie and stay up all night after the movie studying.

I remember those games in 2000, the last one was really exciting unforunately UND still lost, UND refocused after the series and concentrated on winning the Final Five and the NCAA tourney. Last weekend should serve as a wake up call...

If You live in Madtown you should know historically UND has not done good in Madison. Last time UND was swept in Wisconsin they won the NCAA title. I don't take a lot from this weekend's sweep. I actually thought that when UND was up 3-1 they would have held on to win. They let one slip away.

Hey guys (girls too) gut check time. How much faith do you have in your Fighting Sioux hockey team? I still have a lot even after the goalie melt down last weekend in Madtown. The UND Fighting Sioux can win it all even if we get just average goaltending. UofM proved you could win with mediocre goaltending two years in a row. Like I said earlier, I am confident that the University of Minnesota will not win a third. You heard me say it again. This is UND year. I believe that SFIP also said this. come on folks lets have some confidence in the boys.

I read this post over on the C.C. tigers fan message board and I found this post to be interesting. I think this puts UND's season in perspective. I have noticed a lot of negativity around the message boards this past week. So what we lost a game UND is not going to go 5-7 the last 12 games. Enjoy the season, enjoy the season. Goon

Its like who fricken cares. UND is in good position no matter what happens this weekend. I am sure coach will have them focused to play good hockey. Maybe coach will have them doing some herbies. I know if I was the coach, I would skate their asses off (run them into the ground) for this past weekend's effort , you know make them pay for their mistakes. Then I would move on.

Inch is wrong UND hold the season edge in head to head 3 out of 4 games I can see UND getting BSU before Minnesoda does.

I am thinking also that there might be some shooting drills too.

I am not sure since UND has beaten UMD three times already too. Who cares UMD will be looking up at UND by the end of the season. Jim's page clears it up more. UND 29 4 1st-T7th Can clinch 6th with 1 point this weekend Can clinch T-5th with 3 points this weekend UMD 29 4 1st-T7th Can clinch 6th with 2 points this weekend Can clinch 5th with 4 points this weekend

Actually I think its funny since one is a forward and another is a defenseman. I think it should probably say something like which takes dumber penatlies. I have to say that Matt Greene is more valuable since he contributes more than just penalties. I thought Canady was playing well until he took a dumb penalty at Minnesota and I don't think he has touched the ice since.

Doesn't sound like it bothers you all that much You could always write on Microsoft Word/Works or some other word processing feature on your computer & then copy & paste it onto your posts here--would take you just a couple seconds longer.

Some have said that you have to bid for it to get it out of Michigan. Apparently the Michigan Schools have a lot of clout to keep it in Michigan. I am hoping that eventually UND will get it a lot more with the new arena.

Ok Troll, there will be no second half slide.

A couple of wins by the Sioux this weekend could be what the doctor ordered for the Sioux. It would make things a lot better. I would love to be able to watch the team practices this week. I am sure they will probably be all business. Lots of skating drills and defensive work.

The thought makes my skin crawl. But I can get over it for one weekend.

I wouldn't doubt that Phil will get his time in net but I would be willing to bet that both Brandt and probably more so JPar will split time with Lammy. I wouldn't write off Jordan yet, he has had some great moments in net this season. If you look at the stats both goaltenders have played the same number of games. Looking back to last season both goaltenders played about the same number of games too.

I would be willing to bet that JPar will get some time in the pipes too. Should make for some great competition in training camp next season.

I went to the movie down in the cities this past weekend and it was a great movie. I have to say that it was a really inspiring movie. A great tribute to Herbie Brooks as well as the 1980 Olympic team. I am going to buy it as soon as it comes out on DVD...
