The reason the WCHA doesn't want to call the games that way is the disparity in talent teams like UMN and UND would run away and hide with the league title every season and other teams. (This isn't my whole theory, I got this from talking to a buddy) I think this is the reason they don't call the games as tight. UND's power play is like 5th in the nation right now if they got 13-14 power plays a game the dot line would burry people oh, yeah they are. That's my point. After my conversation with Sheppard at the airport back in 2005 he basically said the league coaches would complain if they called the NHL, sounded at the time the coaches dictate how the game is called. Last night in Denver the refs called a lot of penalties almost 20 per game. It almost reminded me of what happens if you trip obstruct and call the game the way its supposed to be called. I am sure sheppard will slap this guy back into line this week after reviewing the tape of the game.

Its hard to score goals when your getting hack, held and slashed up and down the ice.

I think the guys better focus on MSU-M before we go any further. I still think they need to go 6-2 or 5-3 the last 8. Wisconsin losing two was huge, I just would love UND to get MTU for the playoffs and a rematch. That would be sweat. Wisconsin is starting to stumble and If they come to Englestad for the playoffs I see us running them out of the building. Elliot has been human this season. I think the Fighting Sioux needs to take 3-4 points from UMD and MSU-M (anything less agaist MSU-M and UMD is unacceptable) The Sioux also need to split with DU and SCSU, both very possible and is needed. DU like I said before is 3-3 in their last 6 games. They are not world beaters and if DU starts Fisher one night against the Sioux he will get lit up. I think UND will turn the tide against the Pios because they owe them. Watching Punkobitch running his mouth last night was laughable. As ussual standing in the safety of the refs he was yapping away, of course he is s guttless wonder and will never drop the gloves. I hope that kid gets it handed to him some day, he has it coming for his guttless style of play. Then I am going to have bask in the moment of him finally getting his.

That is fine with me so we can get them to stay longer than two seasons.

Is Nash a potential first round draft choice?

Scoring more goals than the team your playing. Actually I watched Maine, New Hampshire, Michigan, Michigan State and DU play this weekend. None of these teams impressed me all that much. I think UND is just as good as any of these teams. Denver does not scare me one bit. Denver is a decent team but they are not world beater, they are relying on Freshmen just like UMN, and I believe they have had a soft schedule just like UMN.

Its Bochenskis Skating, he isn't the best of skater, however, that being said if Johnny Pohl can play a regular shift in the NHL there is no reason Bochenski can't either.

One less team to worry about.

DU looks very beatable if UMD can hang on the Pio's will have gone 3-3 in their last 6 games.

As they say in Chicago come early and vote often.

I have been waching a few games Bruins and Canes, Big Mike Growing the Mop again. Michigan and WMU, booring game and UNO and MSU, bad announcers in that game.

Well we will find out soon as Boston plays Carolina tonight.

Yeah that's what I am thinking; me thinks he is full of it up to his eyeballs. Actually if you think about it, they are not that hard to get, if you drink and drive enough. I had this same conversation with my father one time a whileback and he said he didn't know anyone with a DWI, I am not sure one can live in the north country with out knowing someone with a DUI? I know lots of people have gotten them. However, that doesn't mean I am going to go out and get one because I would lose my chushy Government job if I got one today. I was young and stupid so I would never make that statement. I am lucky that I never got one, there used to be a day when I used to be dumb and stupid, oh say about 24-26 years. Not proud of it but I have moved on. Still drink beer, just make sure to not take chances.

Actually being a Bruins fan I am pretty happy about this. I just hope the Bruins can use his body in he line up. They suck right now anyways so we will have to see.

Would driving over neighbors garbage can and landing in their yard count as aggravating factors?

Thanks I didn't see them when I read the news paper, and when I went back and re-read today's hearld I still don't see them in the paper or on line. Is it possible they removed the names from the article? I guess I shoud wake up. Thanks I made my correction also. Heraldo article

I would get club seats they are awesome, there is less line for the bathroom and shorter lines for the beer. My buddies and myself have sat in section 22 since the Final Five has been at the Xcel energy center.

Driving Under the Influence =DUI Driving Will Intoxicated=DWI Out east they have OUI= which means operating under the influence. You would have to ask one of our many lawyers what it actually means. All I know is its not good for your insurance and you will be riding a bike to work.

And the media has spent a week reporting it like they were acting like NFL and NBA players. I think back to PCM point, why isn't the story of three guys getting lead away in hand cuffs more important? Why aren't the other 4 kids cited names not available?

I think that is a joke this is the same team that lost to Robert Morris and MSU-M. If that is the case I like UND's chances of winning a National Championship.

You know what really chaps my ass is the fact that there are 4 other kids that got busted at Judy's how come their names aren't being released? That is b.s. in my opinion.

I am not sure, Its tied right now 1-1 after on period.

So that would be all too nice to see. Notice how quite it has been here this week after the Marriucci meltdown.

Contrary to public belief the WCHA is a junior and senior dominated league for the most part. Maybe its too much to expect some of these freshman to score 50 goals a season. VV has shown glimsps of greatness. The bad part is he ussually follows it up with taking a penatly. I think he will be a nice four year player that will start pumping in goals starting right now.

VV is a strong skater and I like the way that he hits. I suspect he could still score some goals he has been close a few times. Zajac's goal against Frazee was awesome, so the grind line could start cashing in.
