Goon

BINGO!!!!! Bucky nailed it.

how did you make that Scoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo go off of the page like that.

Every time I heard that song I almost throw up.

You've heard of the Gordy Howe Hat Trick right?

Gordy Howe would have punched Ovie for his celebrations.

Like I said, I like Thompson's fire, I think he will be a decent hockey player. Notice he wasn't hiding behind a ref and punching an opponent like the hack wearing number 4 does.

Wow, if you want to talk about Goofers goals there is a love feast fan page for them... You mentioned Ovie, yep, while he is the best player in the NHL or one of them his celebrations will entertaining are way over the top, some have likened them to Soccer players. The Gophers are notoriously famous for their over the top and over celebrations, Brian Bonin was one of the worst of all time. It's called sportsmanship and also about acting like you have been there before. The Reason Rau has been pounded might be because of his celebrations on the ice. I can't wait till Rau gets rocked by a Sioux hockey player in a couple of weeks and then we are going to have to listen to how the Sioux are dirty and targeting Rau... Blah, Blah, Blah... I think other teams will study the tape of Friday's game and probably play the Gophers the same way. Take body hard on them get bodies in front of the net and get under the Gopher players skin. Seth Helgeson lost it yesterday as well.

Here is a perfect illustration watch Oshie as he talks to Danny Kristo about celebrations at the 2:34 mark. I know it's humor but there is a good message, it's about sportsmanship act like you've been there before. Not every goal needs to have this huge celebration.

I think to blame him solely for the loss is a bit much since hockey is a team game and Seth Helgeson took a moronic penalty that led to a power play as well. I personally liked Thompson's fire and the kid is going to learn.

From what I have read Seminoles didn't ride horses.

or Fighting Irish? I think Fighting Goon's would be a great new moniker.

There is a difference between being happy and celebrating and the over the top and in your face celebrations that a program to the south is famous for.

That's funny but I wonder what some would have said during the chat on Saturday night?

I am not sure anyone knows, as most of us know Dave Hakstol is basically a close to the vest kind of guy and the only way we will find out if he has signed a new deal is when the University or the Grand Forks Herald announces that Hak has signed an extension. I mean the newspaper guys can't even get him to tell them who his goaltender is going to be from week to week.

I think it's funny how Gopher fans all want to throw Thompson under the bus but what about Seth Helgeson, he acted like a douche nozzle as well and cost his team by taking a penalty at a horrible time. Yet they want to call the freshman out.

I don't think that anyone has any idea if he is getting an extension or not? I would imagine the coach is due a nice raise or extension.

Another thing that I wanted to bring up is there aren't as many people pumping the Gophers tires after they gave up a lead to the Vermont Catamounts. It's obvious that the Minnesota Gophers are better this season, Rau is good but he was hammered every chance that Vermont got. Also, your going to get hammered if you celebrate every goal like you wont the Stanley Cup. If I was a coach in the WCHA I would have that game on DVR. That was a text book win by Vermont today. The Catamounts got in the Gophers grill and they started taking a bunch of penalties.

Dude, you must really not have much of a life, to want to troll a UND Message board? I know it's boring in Grand Forks but... Come on!!! Really? You don't see most of us trolling GPL.

Kristo Friday Knight Saturday...

That is a really good point. Too many times tonight defenseman were standing around watching or at least they were on two goals. I think both times it was Forbort.

I think some of the reason for the bad play is that UND is giving up way too many opportunities in the slot. Also, last night Brad Eidsness was God awful, on the turnover at the blue line that was scored by Lee Eids didn't even look like he was awake. Also, it appeared that Eids was on his knees before the opposition had even shot the puck. There were also way too many turnovers last night, you can not keep turning the puck over like the Sioux have this season so far and expect to win. I know Defense is supposed to be a strong point this season but Forbort has to pick it up, he has been brutal questionable all season long... I am sure that these issues will be addressed and I expect them to get better as the season goes on. Also, I saw some great things last night as well. Mark MacMillan's goal was a thing of beauty. Mattson seems like he is a taller version of Genoway with a really good shot.

In case anyone is tired of not being able to watch the game on Direct TV 669 the game is also on 685 as well.

Is that on Direct TV?

I would assume BWW will have the game on this weekend?

The game is not on TV on Saturday night... You have to watch the game on UWBadgers.edu or tape delayed on Wisconsin Public TV>
