Goon

I just thought you were a little hard on your defense. I watched them for two games last weekend and I wouldn't blame them for the goals. Like someone said at the Bantam game at Purpur yesterday, its a team game. The think that frustrated me is the number of people that get the slightest bit offended when someone questions St. Phil, honestly if I had to compare him to any of our goalies I would put him behind Brandt. I am also not sure how he got to be a saint either. I am little worried after Saturday's game.

That sounds like reverse psychology, my wife uses it on me all the time.

If only some of the area's sports reporters could take a key. Looking towards Fargo pointing at the Forum. Thats beautiful. Actually, Pylon has been a word I used to descirbe Goli and Hagemo a few years back. Goli has gotten better but I don't think Lee is even in the same zip code as Goli.

There were a couple of week goals where Phil was sitting too far back in the paint, first one that comes to mind is Saturday night goal number one. Again people relax, face it not everyone is a Phil fan nor do we have to be to be a Sioux fan (there are a lot of people out there that are not fans of him) nor will I ever be, way too emotional for a goaltender, as far as I am concerned. I will give Phil this he is better than Sievebieda.

I think we are splitting hairs here, defense is bad but goalie isn't, however, goalies are only saving at a .881 clip (Stalock) and a 885 Johnson. Sounds like a combination of bad goaltending and not so good defense. Either way I like our chances against the UMD bull dogs.

hence there should be no punishment until the trial is over. Of course McFeely is the judge jury and the executioner.

The only teams I will cheer for is Maine when they play offensive teams like UMN or Wisconsin and BSU. If the Sioux aren't playing them.

Add soft that won't go into the corner and I am 100% behind your statement. I am hoping Lapoint has a mean streak and is offensive.

Your right, they aren't going to give up their UND tickets to watch second rate hockey of the USHL. Don't see it happening because if someone from Fargo leaves their ticket will be bought by someone else. Not to say on another weekend where there isn't any Sioux hockey they wouldn't go see a game in Fargo.

I agree but his play has slipped this past weekend and I think a wake up call was issued on Saturday.

A guy could have the cold and they would say upper boby injury.

This is a message board and we are discussing sioux play. Some get a little to sensative when their favorite players short coming get pointed out. Talk is healthy.

Any insight what his injury is? Let me Guess lower body injury?

Don't forget KO.

That is the way I see it too.

I am thinking the same thing. UMD has not done well in the Net this year. I think maybe a game for Mr. Grieco as well this weekend.

That schedule can change by the minute. Time for Sweeny and Channel 8 to step up and stop making excuses.

I think people are looking to far into this Fargo isn't going Division one in hockey. I doubt the arena will cut into UND fighting Sioux hockey either.

I don't think anyone is suggesting Radke be drafted, I wonder if he will be able to crack the line up next season. If Radke can tone it down he can add something to this years team.

I think he does alright at defense he given a chance. Taking 4 penalties during a game and one leading to a power play goal was ill advised.

Maybe you should relax. Just throwing it out there as an idea. This is a message board where ideas are discussed. If you don't like the ideas don't read the message board. Lee offensive skill is unbelievable, defensively he is a liability.

My buddy mentioned something to me, Lee doesn't like to go into the corner and get the puck he will look to his defensive partner like you go get it. Sure enough after this was brought up I noticed the same thing. That is not a good quality to have if your a defensive player. Sure he has offense but I rather see Bina out there than Lee. I say but Radke back on the point and stick Lee up on the forward positon. The criticisim of Lee this season is warranted, sure he is an OK player but its not unreasonable for the fans to expect more out of a kid that is supposed to be a 1st round draft choice and is playing more like a confused undrafted rookie. I am still crossing my fingers the Sens will want him to sign after the season.

Vermont losing last night really helped. I think some of the teams that were ranked so high early in the season are tanking. A few more wins and I believe UND will have played them selves into the NCAA tourney.
