Goon

Last season we weren't sitting 7-10-1

I would highly recommend getting NHL Center Ice then? Its only 149.00 for the year. They let you break it up in to three payments. Last night I got to watch Zach's goal and two assits as well as Hale's fight.

By playing hurt he is not helping the team, you can't heal if your not resting the injuried ankle. I know that from my football field. The old saying goes if your hurt get off the field.

David Hale was in a nice fight as well.

If I am not mistaken did MTU even get a penalty on the play? I don't remember anyone going to the box.

LOL, now that might be the post of the year.

I am not so sure I would want to eat there just yet though.

Your weren't the only one that did, there were more than 3,500 people booing has Brad suggested. I thought it was a piss poor thing to do your goalie is playing good a positive and he is yanked after a ringer goal is scored on him. That deserves a booing. I was thinking Why does Grieco get a chance to go the distance, does this mean Phil get yanked after another sub par night?

How do we say this the NCAA can go pound sand as far as I am concerned.

I think Grieco should be given a chance to see what he can do since he is young and I think he has shown good promise. The Sioux need two good goalies anyways. Jordan Parise first year turned out to be his elevation to the starting job. I do blieve the Sioux coaches need to recruit another goalie for next season, if not for the future, maybe someone to split time with Grieco or Phil next season. Phil's done after next season and it doesn't hurt to plan for the future.

I heard that too. I hope Grieco stays he has a lot of potential and I like having a bigger goalie too to cover more net.

That would hurt us for recruiting for the future if we did that. Look what we got, Sievebieda. In the offseason would be good, but not half way again. Maybe others will disagree.

Said something like only 2 weeks and he will be skating again. The B's need him they haven't played well the last 5 games. That doesn't sound all that long. Good to see him coming back soon.

I think it would be funny, their fans have been woofing away and all but giving themselves the national title already. Of course I hate to remind Goofer fans remember the name Briggs, the goalie that is an all-american during the regular season only to fall like a prom dress on prom night during the playoffs. What are goofer fans going to do when they get to the playoffs and Briggs discovers, hey I am the goalie that has sucked in the playoffs for the past 3 1/2 years all you will hear is the sound thud. Thud!!! I would hate to see another repeat of last season. Actually, seeing something like that would actually minimize the sting of this season. 2005-2006 Lets review 0-3 last season in the playoffs. (final Five doesn't matter) 2004-2005 2-3 record in the playoffs losing to UND in the Frozen Four (final Five doesn't matter. 2003-2004 3-1 that year not too bad, biggest joke was giving him an award for letting in 4 goals during the WCHA Final Five. So that is a 5-7 record in the playoffs. Hum, if I was the gopher fans I wouldn't be sizing up any title rings yet.

Great post and I agree with you.

MTU is better this season than they were last season but the Sioux shouldn't have lost to this team, or at least not twice. I used to remember when losing to MTU was a disgrace, getting swept by UAA in Anchorage was also a disgrace. So this team is setting some bench marks. One thing I noticed is that MTU is pretty big, a lot bigger than the Sioux. UND is getting out muscled and out hustled this season. I figured at most we can only lose maybe 6 more games before we will be sitting home for the NCAA's and probably not even hosting a WCHA home series.

Sheppard blew this weekend, he missed some really key calls. The high stick on a goal on Friday night was also big too.

Yep and its not a sin to bring this up, there is this status quo that is convinced not matter what some players do they are entitled to play and play for all four years. BS... Right now the goaltending situation this school is unacceptable, its like FSU not having a stud line backer it's UNACCEPTABLE, this isnt' an also ran program in the WCHA, this the 7 time national champion. If you can't see the obvious thats your problem. Don't lecture people who are seeing the obvious though. Your probabaly either a buddy of that said player/person or too biased to know the difference. On the bright note, there were a few this weekend. Oshie got three points this weekend and lets hope he plays like this against Dartmouth. Miller and Duncan were great too.

That should have been two penalty shots. It was blatant kicking the net off twice by MTU in the last period, the touching/grabbing of the puck in the crease is supposed to be an automatic penalty shot, irrelevant if the puck was touch by another player, if you touch the puck with your hand and your not the goalie in the blue paint its penalty and I don't think it matters if another player touched it first. Its apparent that Sheppard doesn't want to make a call that affects the outcome of a game. Not doing your job the way its supposed to is the same thing.

Bigger momentum killer is when you starting goaltender is pulled after playing well only to have your replacement booed by the home crowd.

Can say its not going to happen but it should, we are stuck with the same goalie next season.

It was even more hilarious watching Sheppard tell Hak that the MTU player didn't put his hand on the puck that he only like waved at it. This is what we got from reading lips and hand guesters.

The post mortem show on the radio last night was a replay to the nights before, same thing different game, the Sioux didn't get any breaks (Oshie scored twice, hardly a mention), the Sioux hit 3 posts in _____insert period and on and on. I am not convinced this team is very talented at all. There hasn't been much evidence of it. The recruits coming in seem to have more press than this years freshmen. The Sioux have Toews and Oshie and Duncan up front great first line, only line that is really scoring. The second line hasn

Neither was Phil.
