Goon

The Punkovich hit on Bina last season was one of the cheapest, dirtiest hits I have ever seen period, I was right across from it and it was bad. I am not sure to this day how he only got a two minute penatly. I saw the Atherton check and it wasn't any where as bad as the Punkovich hit.

In my Humble opinion I think that both the CCHA and the EZAC are so over rated. The team I think is the most over rated is Cornell. I can't wait till their goalie has to wear the smaller equipment next season he is screwed. I also say anytime Cornell wants to come into the Ralph and play UND I say bring it on.

If that happens I hope our skilled players aren't on the ice getting run at the end of the game. I'd rather have big Mike out there in stead of Oshie and Toews getting run. I would actually bet that nothing happens this weekend, unless the play gets really chippy and the players start yapping at each other. UND can't really afford to have a bunch of guys sitting out games with suspensions.

The reason I posted this article is that it was such a heated thing its worthy of another topic head line. I will be posting something on it later in the week to on my blog. Actually I like many other hold Punkovich in the lowest regards I wouldn't have even cheered for him had he scored a goal during the WJC.

I was wondering what everyone thought about this weekend's games, I wonder with so much on the line if they will get out of hand and someone will finally challenge Mr. Punkovich? It could get interesting if either game gets one side in either direction. I just hope if they are going to do it the Fighting Sioux players use their head and don't end up being the one that ends up getting suspended for two games ala, Finely and Radke.

On Mico net if you get the extended sports package you will probably see one or both College hockey games from Denver. I heard the second on was tape delayed. But I watched Denver both games the weekend before against MSU-M.

Also, I don't know if anyone notices the D-men were trying to get some shots on net. None of course went in but they were trying.

I don't agree the games with Minnesota and UND were close with the edge going to Minnesota, however, don't forget we lost a couple of games on questionable goals so like someone said earlier they could have went either way. I am not scared of the fact that UND could face the Gophers again in the NCAA playoffs. All I keep thinking about is that defense and Briggs in net and anything is possible.

If UND is a fourth seed it won't happen. I can see UND getting in on a 4th seed.

A lot of us have been saying that forever.

I think Lee looked shaky all weekend. I noticed this on Friday as well, just not with it, not making the right pass at the right time. I think its because he is still young and barely out of High School. I think he will improve in the next year after a summer of weight training and skating.

Tim Thomas has been the man in Boston since they lost their top goaltender, Raycroft has faultered and Tim has taken the load as the number one goaltender. Also, Tim was the top goaltender in the Finnish elite league last season.

Bus is leaving the station on the Jordy Bandwagon. I am definately on it. I was also on it last season too so I have reserved a seat on it again.

I doubt it, I bet Hak rides JPar the rest of the way. Jordy has proven to be a top line goalie and I have little confidence in Phil right now.

I would bet that Oshie will be here three years. I am crossing my fingers.

Stafford had two nice goals tonight. I am very happey about his play tonight. I just hope he can keep it going tomorrow night.

Boo

3. Thank God Ziggy is gone. Ziggy is not very good goalie and I am surprise he started the series opener. 4. Derek Shepard called a good game, I am surprise.

They need to score dirty goals and crash the net. Get physical and pound the UMD Bulldogs.

I think they look like Pajamas.

Also add to it that Zabba is also hurt with a bad knee. http://cc.gazette.com/fullstory.php?id=6276

Have faith that we don't have to worry about doing that.

That is a cool name. I am sure he isn't known as a communicable disease in his home country.

http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2006...ccdismisses.php Aaron Slattengren, a forward the past four seasons for Colorado College, was dismissed from the school Monday for a violation of the institution's academic policy. Slattengren had 10 goals and 18 points in 26 games this season. He missed time at the beginning of the season while recovering from a torn knee ligament.

Denver is going to be a dog fight I watched them play last weekend on FCS channel 316 ( I wounder if the UND and DU games are on that channel next weekend) and they looked pretty good solid on Defense, especially Matt Carle. I think UND can get a few past Fisher on Friday night then I think they can at least get a split. MSU-M played without Backus on Saturday night and didn't give DU much of a fight but I think UND can play them tougher than Mankato did. I hopeful for at least a split next weekend, that being said the Sioux need to go into Denver on the heels of a good weekend of play prior to that series hopefully with a sweep of the Bull Daugs.
