Goon

Game 4 channel 374 on NHL center ice.

No, No, thats considered normal for the WCHA, god forbid they actually call the game the way it is supposed to be called.

They ussually say that as they are having he cuffs slapped on them.

If it works for Dirty thats good enough for me.

At 630 tonight.

I was looking at the stats too and noticed that Brunteau and Malone are not scoring at all really. I just hope they pick it up. Since we need scoring this year as well. Lapoints and Hextall seem to be the ones that are scoring on a regular basis.

I am not so sure I would call him a goon. Intense might be a better word for it. These guys are under a lot of pressure and from the way I see most of the officials don't call the game the way is should be. I remember TH the other night calling Hunt one of the worst in the league. Just a thought.

I had the same problem myself.

I watched the game and I didn't think the Mavs got hose by the refs any worse than any other game I have seen over the years but it did seem odd that Minnesota got all of the power plays. Actually in Champion's defense we could have called a MSU-M player for a CFB and didn't. This isn't a way to get the calls to go your way. I imagine it going to be costly for the Mavs coaches. I am sure the League is going to stick up for its refs. I would imagine a suspension is coming after this one.

Black is one of my favorite colors but Gold/Yellow I dunno.

I saw this posted over on USCHO.COM, my only question is did he change in the bathroom of the Ralph? God, MTU's colors are kind of hard on the eyes! Yikes

Nope I have thought the same thing myself, Lee plays offense and has been caught up ice a few times over the course of the seaosn and I believe he could be used up as a forward. Lee like you said isn't affraid to go into the corner and get the puck. I would think why not play him as a forward?

I would also like to see a mean streak and some nastyness. Hopefully we will see that without a parade to the penatly box.

I was surprised too after all of the loses we took in the first half, the playoffs are still within reach but long losing streaks would put an end to it fast. The next few weeks are parmount to getting in the playoffs, BSU is sitting really high two wins against them would be key.

Sioux Habit I am disapointed in Kozek and Watkins they have done nothing this season or since they have been here, how the heck did these two finish so high in the BCHL in scoring their last year of Juniors? They have huge roles and have not scored. I looked at the nuber last night Kozek has 20 points in two seasons Watkins has less, isn't the BCHL known for creating scorers. These guys were top players in the league. Where the heck did all their talent go? Duncan is still doing it? I guess I can see where some are frustrated too I am frustrated also. Zajac while he skates up and down the ice making plays he is scoring either, he was another high end player in the BCHL. I thought he was supposed to be a relentless player that was almost as good as his brother. Genoway is on the only Freshman that has impressed me this season on a regular basis, Forney and VV should have stayed in Jr's another season.

I don't remember a lot of people making excuses about UND not having those three players especially since C.C. was missing a big part of their team, with sweat. I remember at the last game people sarcastically commenting on when Lee was going to be going to the WJC. Its all a mute point now, UND won 3/4 of the games and have the ball in their court on what they are going to do in the second half of the season.

If you ever watch Nate Lawson play goal against the Sioux he has this stupid grin on his face, a few years back he was taunting the croud and I can't stand the kid. Every time he play UND he plays out of his head. I want UND to lite him up and both games. There is no excuse for this kid to be smiling at the end of the weekend series. Apparently the Sioux snubbed this kid. I heard he wanted to come here and the Sioux coaches weren't interested.

Seriously though, you still can't be giving up 3 and 4 goals every night either though and some of those goals that were let earlier in the year were of the really in weak variety. Now right now UND is playing good defensively and I hope it wasn't just a fluke. I also want to see how the Fighting Sioux match up against some good teams like Minnesota, Denver and SCSU, unforunatley we haven't beat the crappy teams this season so UND needs to get going this weekend work hard and slap UAA around losing any game to UAA is unacceptable I want the Sioux to wipe the Silly Smirk off of Nate Lawson's face. I want to see UND lite him up. The DOT lines needs to be flying. My last question is if Phil was hurt he shouldn't have been playing?

I don't know, I just think its ironic that UND goes on the road and plays better hockey. Its almost like we should bulldoze the Ralph and play in a parking lot. I believe we are 6-4 on the road, they counted the one game against SLU as a neutral ice surface but to me it was on the road. Thats good since we have more games away from home in the second half. Our home games are against UAA, 1 against BSU, MSU-M and UMD. we should by all rights go 7-0 against those teams but who knows. Statisically that isn't a tough schedule. The Sioux has to split with DU, SCSU, Minnesota. I think Minnesota is going to be prime for the picking, they are not going to win out for the season and I see the bubble bursting in the second half. I am not saying they aren't good but they have had a light schedule to date.

Now we have to start the Lee must be signed thread. I still think its interesting that no one has brought up the fact that the Sioux are 3-1 with Lee out of the line up and 4-1 with Foyt in the line up. Seems there is an issue that might have to be addressed this week.

Let them practice at the Gambuchi, or the Olympic ice, even better make them practice at 0500 in the morning but I wouldn't want getting used to practicing every day on the Ralph ice surface. I would imagine that Hakstol will use some gamemanship.

I think your talking about ear marks and how they are going to be a thing of the past. If your concerned write Dorganoff and Conrad and Earl.

UND tied with the BADgers in 5th place. UND needs a sweep next weekend against the Seawolves who are actually coming to UND after the game at SCSU, I guess they aren't going home after the game.

I don't understand that one even the BADgers can score on an empty net. George must be thinking he is going for the WCHA title. Why not call a time out and tell your players to get moving.

TH was talking about DU apparently the game is not 3-2. Thats ok, TH was wrong on the BSU score last night too. He must not have the internet.
