Dave all respect Leg checks are not part of hockey and NOT just part of the game. There are others that have said the hit Chorney took was dirty or at least very quesitonable. It should have been a 5 minute penalty and even the ESPN announcers thought it should have been a penalty. Sure I question hits when I see them. Voros this past season Hit a player from behind and it was dirty. Voros hits Staal from behind. This past season Kozek hit a SCSU player with a leg check that I thought was questionable.

My pecking order would probably be. 1) NCAA Title 2) Frozen Four berth 3) McNaughton Cup 4) Broadmoor Trophy 5) NCAA Tournament berth

I think you meant Brian Elliot but you were on a roll so I didn't interupt.

NO, I am still a slap shot fan.

You are probably right.

One could make the argument that the Gophers, Sioux and Badgers have a number of blue chippers on their roster. Definiton of a Blue Chip athlete:

I am disgusted as well what happened to this student. After looking at the I believe picture it looked like a kite as well. This act of stupidity has nothing to do with the logo. These people would have done this racist act no matter what the sports team logo was.

Ok, I will bite why isn't he a blue chipper? If not he is pretty close.

Not to rain on your parade but he is one of the top players in the WCHA.

It looks like the Pens and dead things. I am hoping the pens win it all. Listening to XM this past week and weekend I have heard some of the so called pundits and hockey experts not giving the pens that much of chance of winning. I think it could be an exciting series.

the D.O.T. line was Unbelievable

After looking at the picture; that is a swastica? I am also not sure how they can tie that in to the UND nick name?

Dave in all respect the hit in Chorney was dirty and cheap and if it had been a regular season game there probably would have been some retaliation for the hit.

You might be right!

Orpick took out Cole in 2006 as well with a check from behind. The Pens trounce the Flyers 6-0. Fluery with the shutout and I thought he was the weak link but it proved to not be the case...

I guess my question would be; are people selling Brad E short?

Oppoistion goalie will look like swiss cheese.

What is ironic is that it was a Oprik that cheaped Chorney with his leg check during the Frozen Four.

One could make the argument that Woogs recruits were staples of the 2002 team since Leopold won the Hobey Baker Memorial and both players were major contributors on the score sheets as well.

Cardinal please tell what part of the statement isn't true? The first 2002 title contained a lot of Woogs recruits that is a true statement.

5-0 Pens

What I am saying is that I don't understand the logic that Walski played one game all season is all of a sudden to going to be good enough to play? This is something that makes no sense to me what so ever. I don't have a problem with a team going with one goalie but there needs to be options. What happens if Walski and Eidsness don't pan out?

Question then there must be help coming as in the form of an older goalie? Isn't B.E. going to be 20 this season? I can't imagine a scenario where Walski is the starter. If he wasn't good enough to play last season how is he all of a sudden good enough to play this season? It does seem the coaching staff has short sighted the goal tending position IF Eidsness isn't the starter this year. I still have to think it is going to be Brad E and look B.C. won a title with a freshman goalie.

I am hoping/thinking that Eidsness is that guy, I think he has said all the right things and not taking everything for granted. Seems like he has the right frame of mind.
