Goon

I want to see race horse hockey return also.

That could be a nice logo to put on the front of a UNI.

There is a post on line the other day that said Gabby is going to ask for 10 million, I don't know how true it is but I could see it happening.

You bring up good point, at what point are the PC ZEALOTS satisfied, whey do they stop with their demands,? Who far to they go?

Like Sicatoka said, it was the sarcasm of the article that I was talking about. Think hard; your liberal college professor(s) from the more enlightened East (a lot of them present themselves this way), I know I had a few of them at UND and some of them acted pompus and like they were better than everyone. My first Master thesis advisor matched that discription to a "T" so NO it is not SELF DEFEATING.

You are very right, time for Gabby to be a leader.

I heard Lou Nanne say that on Dan B's show and it blew me away, just think one team is managing the cap well while the Wild are not. I know I have read where the new owner wants to spend money to win a cup, I don't know if it has gotten down to the GM or not. Russo said that Gabby was trying hard to get Hossa to come to the Wild. Even with Hossa I am not sure it would be enough to get them over the top. The Wild have a lot of issues and their major problem is they have too many Euros and perimeter players that don't like to get their jerseys creased. PMB has to be one of the most irritating players who goes out of his way not to get to the dirty areas to score goals.

As a righty I Like Bill Maher, I watch his show on HBO weekly, during the season. I wasn't real confortable with his anti-Catholic rant though I thought it that was a little over the top. Ironically he dated Ann Coulter.

I think that in the end Risebrough has got to go, the team has gotten stagnate under his leadership.

The way both teams are playing it is very possible.

Bison Dan that was well stated! The key is gun saftey and teaching family members how to respect, shoot and defend themselves safely.

If I am not mistaken I think the vikes were picked to win the super bowl according to Paul Allen.

So are they going to start hauling people off to jail that use transfat?

There are many stories where someone was in their house minding their own business when some moron with a gun came into their house and tried to rob or rape them only to have a legal gun owner repel them. In some instances the gun owner legally shoot the criminal invader. I do not have a hard on for guns nor do I own a hand gun, I am passonate about the second ammendment and I know that it is under attack every day. I have a number of guns that I use for hunting, I do not own a hand gun but I support the right for someone to own one if they are not a felon. I know more about guns than you can begin to know. I took my gun saftey in junior hight and I read about the issue and inform myself because of like minded uninformed people like you that advocate gun confiscation and and scorn people who own them. Lastly, your making an false assumptions about this issue and you have failed to answer the questions people have posed to you. I will not waste anymore breath on you because I am getting tired of this circular issue. So this is the last time that I will engage you on this issue, in this thread, you are not informed nor do you want to listen to others who have laid out the argument step by step. Finally I will not again engage you on this issue. So go ahead get the last word. Legal gun owners are a very informed bunch of people who are constatly under attack the politicians and people that are ignorant about the second ammendment. They are not this foam at the mouth bunch of people you think we are, gun owners are left, right, conservative, libertarian (sp), Liberal. We are also not a bunch of dumb red necks or hill billys.

Apparently Bruno was Rolston's replacement.

Don't get me going on the Wild right now, I am not very happy with Doug Risebrough now. Apparently he seems to think he is a great hockey mind by letting Brian Rolston go. I think that both the coach and the GM needs to go in St Paul before the Wild can move forward. Last season the Wild wanted to get tougher so they picked up the Fridge, Voros and Simon, now they apparently don't think they need to be tough so they let all three go. Wow, that was a stroke of brilliance, all the while the Wings win the cup and pick up Marian Hossa. The wild floundering towards mediocrity.

Yeah no doubt. I could have something to do with UAA being a horrible team and finishing dead last for three years in a row. Because Anchorage is a pretty big sized city.

Prpich didn't go around butt ending people with his stick like Bickel. I would rather have PrPich than a Bickel as well. Just my HMO.

the Boogey man is a one demensional players he is a tough guy that barely can skate, at least Bickel can skate a little.

That is what they are going to say to the south.

Wrong, gong... They provide a safety that you don't even realize. Like I said before stick to something you know. You are dead wrong on gun right and are uninformed when it comes to the issues surrounding the guns and gun ownership.

I don't fine it that hard to believe out east in the lesser hockey conferences like the AHA and the EZAC they don't draw like the WCHA or the CCHA. Notice how most of the teams on the list are in the WCHA. Hum... I guess the Eastern teams play in neutral sites during their home games as well... Also, I think the size of the arenas in the WCHA give our team a great advantage over the other leagues.

The proper term is enforcer/policeman.

Ah the crux of the issue is your self serving opinion. You don't like gun so you think everyone shouldn't own one, and you think the Nanny State should take guns away from legal gun owners but believe it or not you're already enjoying the protection and cover of people that are carry a concealed weapon on their person daily. Funny thing is you don't even realize it you're enjoying the benifits of this. You can't believe how many people are concealed to carry a fire arm on their person. I await your next researched, well thought out and informed reply to this.

Being Bickel is in the Duck's organization I think you're going to see him become a tough guy/police man. If you go to Hockey fights you will see that Bickel isn't afraid to mixi it up.
