Goon

This is what I said about the hit in question.

I don't remember "a lot of people defending" it. It was a matter of what the league was going to give him as far as a penalty goes.

I saw it from my seat... I love how Gopher fans think it didn't happen.

I love how Gopher fans think that Trupp wasn't speared in the Sioux vs Gophers game that took place in January of 2009. Jones wasn't trying to ask Lucia about their plans after the game.

The only way you can shoot at the time the game is on is with a spot light.

Hakstol felt Dell was seeing the puck well on Saturday night.

As a blogger I miss Hill because I could write posts all week based on his antics. They say he is a really nice guy but he didn't have a filter.

And for those that have DirecTV, you will be sitting in a bar, hovered on the internet or listening to the game on the radio. I will probably be in the Webster Bar or on my deck at the hunting shack listening to the game.

I think that once Grimaldi gets on a line and develops some chemistry with someone I think you will see his points total pick up. Rau could tail off a bit as well. Teams watch film and I wouldn't be surprised to see him get a lot of attention this weekend the rest of the way out from here. I don't know if anyone noticed but Vermont played "Sioux hockey" the second game of the series against the Gophers and took it to them. I see UND doing that as well against the Gophers.

I almost hate to write this but a split this weekend is a must.

36 x $2000.00 is what 72,000.00 I think UND can scrape together that much money.

I honestly can't believe that someone hasn't started this thread yet. The Series that many fans mark on their calender... The Fighting Sioux are (3-4-1, 1-3 WCHA). The Gophers (7-1-0, 4-0-0 WCHA) are brimming with confidence after dispatching the UAA Seawolves 5-0 and 3-1 to sweep UAA. I have read where some fans seem to think that UND has no chance to win a game in this series and that the Sioux will be run out of the building by the mighty Gophers. I did some something simular to that on the Chat the other night. Some fans seem to "believe" that the Fighting Sioux don't stand a snowballs chance in hell against the mighty Golden Gophers. You can through records out the door during this series. I think it's time for the Fighting Sioux to slap that Gopher ass around... Crosses Fingers.

I agree I don't see any reason why the NCHC wouldn't allow them to play the additional 2,000.00...

I think that article did seem to be a bit of a pot stirring piece.

I am confused I thought Ben Brien was Chipewa?

I think his assumption is 90% false.

So what you're saying isn't opinionated? Two polar opposites that aren't going to agree on this point. Fine, such is life. I can tell you that when it happened, I was told buy someone that had a kid that was on the team that Wheeler said something to Finley in the hand shake line and that's why Joe pulled him out of line. If that was true and I believe that person than Wheeler would be at fault as well. You sound like you've been drinking the Gorg Kool Aid... I have heard many of the same rumbling about him. Look, I am not an apologist for Joe Finley...

They didn't sell out for Sioux vs Badgers last weekend either.

I would say yes, typical slow start, missing 270 points from last years team? Imagine if Hexy, Gregs were still on this team? Yikes...

That's a top ten post right there. It's early and I think it might be a bit early to run Hak out of town on a rail.

LOL!!!

This is the second time that he has been doubtful ends up playing... Crosses fingers.

At the press conference Hakstol said first he didn't know, then he said doubtful... Last time he said Roco was doubtful he actually played against B.C. so I suppose there is a chance and I crossing my fingers .

First I have no idea about this Brandt incident that you talk about, second I have heard that Blake Wheeler was running his mouth in the hand shake line and that why Finely pulled him out. Hakstol has been beaten to death... Lastly, Tony Lucia had it coming, he butt ended Evan Trupp in front of the Sioux bench earlier in the game and I believe; didn't Lucia agree to fight Jones and then ran and hid behind the ref at the last moment? Maybe someone else can help me out here.
