Goon

I am going to say that I agree with you. That was pretty impressive taking a team built from scratch adn going to the league championship. Impressive in my book.

I don't have a problem with that explaination about 50% of the blogsphere has said that. What will happen is, some day the shoe is going to be on the other foot for Alex and he is going to have it happen to him. Hockey has a funny way of evening things out. When it happens it will be interesting to see if anything happens to the person that committed the hit.

I wonder if he isn't recovering from Injury, I thought he had a high ankle strain last season.

How ironic one of your teams players is hit with a dirty leg check and you call it legal. If you surf the net you will see there are many people upset about Ovie hit on gonchar. In my opinion kneeing is a dirty bush league play no matter who does it. Of course there are two sets of rules one for star players/prima donna's and another set for goon's and mid level talent. I have watched the tape a few times and it didn't look very clean or legal. Of course the NHL league office will do nothing because Crosby and Ovechkin can pretty much do what ever they want and the league doesn't want to bite the hand that feeds them.

The Best American goalie is probably Tim Thomas right now and he is still playing in the Stanley Cup. The other top American goalies are probably Islanders goalie Rick Dieptro (sp) and he is hurt right now and Ryan Miller from Buffalo. Robert Esche is past his prime and he wasn't that good to start with.

I agree with Zajac he doesn't get enough credit for his defensive prowess. Also, I don't think UND has lost a game when he was scored a goal.

Oh goody he is taking Ed Schultzes old spot on AM 790. More reason I listen to XM Radio.

Come on now I said that it was a combination of things. There were a lot of turn overs in the past two games. If any thing Thomas has out played the Canes goalie Ward. IF you give a team like a lot of grade "A" opportunites your are going to get burried. Also, I forgot to mention the Carolina Ice Girls.

You haven't watched the Boston Series then, the last two games were won because Carolina played a high pressure game and campitalized on Boston's turn overs. Staal has outplayed Savard. That is why Boston is losing the series.

Hey bud have you watched the games. Your team is winning tonight and looks ok doing it. I almost wonder if my team is done the bruins only have looked good against the canes inone game.

This has the makings of a 7 game series.

I thought that as well but Osgood is a veteran goaltender and know what it takes to win. Hillar has been sick though.

Yeah I have a few disk I have aquired from others on this board. Sioux fans are pretty helpful to the fellow fan base.

Watching Canes and Bruins and hell of a good game.

I was under that impression as well as Quinn Fylinng (sp) had four years even though he went back to JR's.

damn work server.

I don't think the Yotes are gone yet. The league has to approve the sale and Betteman is standing pat from what I have read.

Sounds like from what I have read that Betteman won't let this go through and Jerry Risebrough is also interested in the Yotes as well.

The Refs blew it on that call.

I also love cake and beer too.

Yet someone referred to him as what over rated?

You personally attacked Sioux_Hab-it.

I heard on XM204 that David Backes was suspended for a hit in the World Championships.

Nah! But I have to admit that his first impression wasn't all that good. I found the WCHA officials to be more approachable than Meyers.
