FS1 is right: thanks for bringing it up. I was talking to someone the other day and he was all doom and gloom and the sky was falling because the number of players leaving. I told him we are better than the bottom 5 teams in the WCHA even with the loses we have had this past season. Look at it this way We are better than UAA, MSU-M, SCSU, MTU and probably UMD as it stands. All UND has to do is play with some consistancey and they are a top four team. If Toews stays I bet UND wins the league title next season. It's not like the recruits we have coming in are hacks either, we have a shut down defense and have some faith in the guys we have right now, I would feel under appreciated if I was a Sioux hockey player right now. Kozek and Watkins could be break out players, Duncan no slouch. I honestly think he could score 25-30 goals and 50 points next season. Miller might be a stud we hardly saw him play last season and he was hurt the year before, that kid can fly. Look at the Sabres, they win with Roll players and having everyone chip in by doing their part. UND almost won the title in 2001 with one line according to the Pundits. I think UND has more talent than the 2001 team as we speak. All this negativity sucks.

I would almost count on Elliot to be gone by the end of the Summer, Badger fans are in denial if they think otherwise. The pros are short of goalies and need help now. I believe Parise is gone too, I have heard it from people who have talked to credible sources. The ECHL, AHL are not lesser level of competition, they are better than college hockey. Dude, I was skeptical at first when I heard the rumors but, there are just too many people saying these things, coming from people that have talked to people in the Fighting Sioux camp.

That is beautiful.

Dude is that your blog, cool. Degroat is right. TSN is the one that reported. it TSN linkk

Its that they don't want to upset a major voting block of theirs. They are trying to have it both ways.

That was kind of the feeling that I was having right now. I don't know if I was a GM I think I would be looking at Stal instead of Toews. Not impressive to say the least. Funny thing is he will probably still be drafted ahead of Kessel.

Hum, sounds like Mr. Toews needs to work out a little harder.

You know in Goofer land they really have a superiourity complex. No matter how good the Sioux are the Gophers are better due to entitlement.

Yikes. I not so sure I'd like to see that.

Cheering for big Mike to win the cup. I think it would be a nice story...

What an awesome series. To hell with the pundents that don't like this series because they are small market teams. We are in for an awesome final. Both teams fly and play good defense. I am hoping Carolina chews up and spits out Edmonton.

Game tied. Lets go Canes...

Parise is gone. We must except that. I am having a hard time excepting it but Denial is the first step to recovery.

On a side note yesterday Nate Miller on P.A. and Dubay refered to Mike Commodore as a side show. Yep, the same Nate Miller from the Movie Miracle. The same Miller that never made the NHL. I suppose he didn't mean anything hateful by it but, Commodore is one of Carolina's Top Defenseman. Thats a hell of show big Mike, big goal. Lets Go Canes lets bet the Dirty Sabres...

I totally agree with that statement Sioux-Cia. These fallen hero's families deserve to have their funerals not interupted by hatefull wack jobs. Here is a clip that honor our fallen soldiers on Memorial Day. Memorial Day. The next clip will make some of you want to snap, she is a complete and utter moron. I love the fact that both guys Alan and Sean tore this moron a new one. Lastly the Patriot Guard Riders are going to be at the funeral to protect the funeral. Crazy Woman from Westboro Baptists

Westboro Baptist to Protest Hermanson's Funeral Apparently, So fringe Rightwing Religious group is going to protest our Fallen Hero's funeral. However, some Patriot Guard Riders are going to protect the Funeral of SPC Hermanson's. It really burns my butt that there are people out there that would do such a thing at a soldiers funeral. Patriot Guard Riders

I think Petr Klima played one shift and scored the game winner in over time, yikes that brings back bad memories.

If I remember right they were lucky to get into the playoffs they barely made the 8th seed. I wouldn't call defeating the Red Wings that big of a deal. Anyone could see that one coming. So luckily their goaltender Roloson saved their bacon, I know they have been out shot in a few of the games they have played. I personally hate the Oilers, goes back to the days when they were good in the late 1980's and early 1990's and they beat my Boston Bruins in the stanley Cup. It goes back to the when they had the great one and there were winning it every year. I personally think their luck has run out. I still think either Carolina or Buffalo will handle them in 6 games.

Nope, Dakota still has to go through hunter safety courses.

You are probably right, I suppose, we would hear how much of a hack Jordan Parise is and how they can't believe that UND would do this type of a thing?

Billy Smith was one tough sob, no one came near his crease, well not more than once, the man was nuts and everyone knew it same with Ron Hextall. However, I don't recall them whinning to the refs a lot like Rolli has done. Billy would even skate of the ice with his stick out. I saw him play one time in Boston Garden against the Bruins and you could see the players from the B's wanted nothing to do with him. Here is a key if they players is standing in your crease give him a light tap to see if he is wearing a cup. I would have loved seeing Parise do that Stoa, I am pretty sure Stoa would have though twice about going into the blue paint.

Goalies shouldn't get too emotional, kind of like pitchers shouldn't, the players are trying to get them rattled. I suppose it would be tough not to get mad if someone is trying to run you over. One stick to the cup area would probably keep most players out of the net.

Thanks for the nice plug. I would like to forget today's golf experience. Not pretty.

I think the Oilers got lucky as a team, nothing wrong with being lucky. They got all of the breaks and that happens sometimes in sports, the Oilers had the flu and they survived. The Ducks are a good team that can fly. That being said if Commies team gets to the final hopefully one of the D-man will bring the cup back to grand forks, at least I hope. On to Rolli I am kind of glad that the Wild traded him to the Oilers, Rolli is a big baby who acts like he has been shot everytime someone bumps into him. If anyone had complaints this past season it was the Sioux goaltenders. Rolli goes balistic everytime someone come near him. Whatever team that makes it from the east is going to be in Rolli's crease the whole game. I know I would if I was the coach of either team. Anytime you can rattle a goalie it can work to your favor. Last night's game was very exciting to watch as a fan.

Greene is off to the stanley cup finals.
