Goon

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.

Anything less that a sweep is unacceptable. There is no sugar coating it.

I would actually like to see us get a bigger goalie like elliot of Wisconsin. I just think being bigger they cover more of the net. I Think our goalies have been a little small and they tend to get run over with no reguard from the opposing teams.

One thing I have learned about the pro-name change crowd there is nothing that they will agree to except the name being changed period. End of discussion. In fact there is no discussion. So I really think Charles is doing a good job by meeting the tribes and keeping an on going dialog with them. I think this should have been done a long time ago but I give him credit for trying.

Try making the person buy beers who's team is ahead at the end of the periods. Its always a fun way to make bets, unfortunately I sat with a gopher fan on Fridays game at the REA in december and I never have a beer bought for me. Buying 6.00 beers can get expensive.

I can think of two Jr's from ND playing down at Minnesota that I wolud love to see signed after this season.

No kidding, I am thinking Frozen four if they give us that one too. Miami, Providence and UNO do not scare me. This thing is really screwy.

Nah there have been worse. I think the Admin just removed about 25 of them yesterday.

Ulmer, Defauw, Armbrust, Henderson the lunch box kids. Role players that added grit, thought in some timely scoring at the right time. I wish we had that grit on this years team. I remember watching Peter score in the championship game of the Final Five against the Gophers and Woog snapping the next week because he had to play the Michigan Wolverines the next week in the regional at Yost. Oh the humanity.

The Sioux came all the way back to win the games against the dirty Gophers. That season the Sioux dispointed me by going the NCAA playoffs only to lose in the NCAA playoffs to the Michigan Wolverines. Hard to swallow but never the less a good hockey team.

Won't matter, trust me, who wants to bet a few beers payable on Friday during the UMD games.
