Goon

If listened to the broadcast, the WJC players were the ones making the plays and causing things to happen. I am not so sure why you are so set on resting kids from playing. The NHL plays every other night in a lot of occassions due to the olympics and them having almost 2 weeks off. On another note; the players from Minnesota called Coach Lucia and basically said we want to play. Can you put us in coach? From the sounds of the UND players they were happy to be back and at the games.

I don't agree, both TH and Hak said it wasn't penalty, so I am willing to bet that Hak sends a tape to the league office and will definately be giving the league office a earful. If its not a penalty and the ref makes a mistake why should the player suffer? Beside we all saw the penalty Drew got for checking from behind in the duluth game and it was very obvious that it wasn't even a penalty. If we go by this mentality, we should give Drew the night off the next night because of a horribly blown call. I would hope not. Oshie, Stafford, Watkins have all suffered game misconducts. Hak sounded very upset with the call, apparently TJ Oshie got creamed from behind during the game and the checking from behind penalty wasn't called.

I think our goalies have set a record of being run over in games by the opposition.

Hey does anyone know if he is hurt, the USA hockey site said he went to the hospital but his test came back negative. Was that just a precaution? The article didn't say much past that.

Thats ok, I feel nothing but confidence. I think we might be selling the team short, they have done about what I thought they could do this season so far. I think we are going to do well this weekend and in the second half of the season. I actually think we are sitting better than last season. Besides we don't have to play the dirty Badgers again this season, we are due against C.C. and DU is over rated in my opinion, I know we will give them a better fight than Princeton and Ferris State.

Actually it could be more, apparently Eric Johnson has committed to play for the Dirty Goofers next year, but the TSN guys said they wouldn't be surprise to see Johnson in the NHL, I am hopoing. Also, could you imagine how good the Goofers might have been if Mueller had not gone to MJs and gone the college route (sp)? Scarey.

I am not saying that they don't get tired, but they won't have played a game in a day in a half and they had a day off in between, I am saying that they can talk about how tired they are next week and I am sure they will be give time off in practice to get back to life. They need to play this weekned. Toews is going to be less tired than the other three. I am predicting that they will probably make a decent contribution this weekend towards the win. If Oshie is hurt I doubt he will play, nor should he.

7-1 on the road is really good. I don't care one what anyone says.

I think your right how many times did kessel go up the ice shoot and then the puck is coming back down the ice to the defensive zone. It happened a lot against Russia. USA didn't cycle the puck and having Bourque and Kessel on the same line didn't help.

According to the Grand Forks Fish Wrapper this morning UND is 8-1 against unranked opponents. I like our odds and most of the games against unranked opponents are on the road where UND is 7-1-1.

The good part about this is Minnesota has 3 or 4 key players that were in the JR's too and I think it will even things out. I hope Kessel is really tired after all of the first line play that he got.

That was the point I think a few of us have been trying to make. Anyone suggesting these kids sit out a game or both because them might be a little tired is assanine. Their first loyalty is playing for their UND Fighting Sioux hockey team. I also doubt the players would want to sit out. Their kids that are in awesome condition if anything playing this weekend makes them better.

Are you kidding me, there is no way I wear one of them offensive red uniforms.

I hear you there, I might have escorted out of the arena myself after taking a bath in beer and helped into a BC jail probably sporting a shiner.

Actually I thought Lee and Chorney played well the games that I watch, Toews looked good and played one less game. Oshie is tough and showed it during the World Juniors.

I think the game they have scheduled at 1000 is the USA and Finland game?

Honestly I can give an flying F--- if Canada wins nor am I going to cheer for them @$$es. They so over played the Jack Johnson thing to stupidity, it was one play big hairy deal. As far as Canadian hockey fans go they are a bunch of pompus jerks, that think they are entitled to winning the Gold every year and that its their sport, blah, blah, blah, I am so sick and tired of listening to that Bu11 $#!t. Do I hate Canada as a country, no, I hate their soicalist ruling eliets that are lecturing the American about the War in Iraq. I care less what they think of us or Bush. This is where some of this crap is coming from.

Any way we could get you to release the information to the rest of us. I really do like the way you explain stuff.

I agree and it would be nice to see happen. It would be good for the Canucks to get it handed to them.

Must be after the wolves or Wild game?

Personally I don't think it is going to be broad cast tonight. I just checked myself and it is not on at all. Not even on NHL center ice. Also not on the FCS channels either.

He played both nights and wasn't all that impressive or would he probably even make UND team. Tyler doesn't stand out and he was just a number on a Harvard team that isn't all that impressive in my opinion.

No but the wild fans do.

Do you have the link for that board?

So does that mean FCS will probably carry these games then I assume.
