As Rick Generette says OVVVER TIIIMME
Is Generette calling the Devils game??? I suppose they bounced him for the VS team for the Sabres game tonight. I'm watching the Devil's broadcasters - Doc and Reche

The 357 is a great choice. It's nice to have the versatilty to shoot both 38 and 357. Depending on what you plan on using the gun for, be it home defense or concealed carried, i would look at the Smith & Wesson 340 or 360. They are a little more pricey, but very light and a very reliable gun.
I have a Kimber 1911 .45 ACP and a CWC permit in ND (and Utah)...
Best home defense weapon? Two hands on a semi-auto 12 gauge with the plug out and five round in the mag, one in the chamber...next best is a Rem SP 10 gauge (very loud, run-for-your-life sound when you close the action)...pistols are best for concealed carry
A .357 is an excellent choice if you want to be sued and support your "victim" (you know, the guy that attempted to use deadly force against you and lost) for the rest of your natural life. The safest gun is unloaded and stored in your safe (that's where I keep mine). The next safest gun is a cocked and locked 1911. The problem with a single action revolver is that the hammer can slip when cocking it. In addition, they are terrible for self defense because they are generally heavy, nearly impossible to conceal and you have to cock them in the heat of the action.
When I went to my CWC classes, there were people there that had no business carrying a gun because they will never be able to use it. One guy attempted to load the clip by placing the cartriges in backward. Another, a woman, could not cock and chamber a round. I suggested to the guy next to me that she'd be better off with track shoes. That is true of most people that don't have experience. Bottom line, if you buy a gun, learn how to use it or don't bother drawing it at the moment of truth - when a real criminal is moving in, any sign of weakness or indecision on your part will only embolden him or her...
Lastly, I really enjoyed the irony on the front page of the Fargo Forum this morning...the lead story was Buchanan getting off for murder and then the next front page story headline was "Are guns the problem?" Do they really need to ask? Letting that thug off is what is wrong with our system...

We didn't make it there.....I dunno what happened. We were gonna try to get over there between the semifinal games, and it just didn't happen. After the game we were so dejected, we just went to the hotel and drowned our sorrows in a case of a beverage made somewhere in St Louis.
If you missed the post-party, you didn't miss much. The food was absolutely TERRIBLE and it took longer to get a beer there than at Suite 49. I enjoyed the pre-party though. The after-the-game crowd was very thin and music (hip hop) was so loud you couldn't hear yourself think. However, the girls dancing on the tables was a nice touch...

This memorable season is finished. Bring on next season...looking forward to the Duncan - Miller - Vande Velde line - the DMV line drives the net...

When Radke checked Johnson from behind, I went nuts. I couldn't believe he could be so stupid. It certainly could have cost UND the Frozen Four. I don't care if I ever see Radke on the ice for the Sioux again. How many times has Radke taken stupid penalties at key moments in the game...

If you don't care about being downtown and want to save some money on the hotel room, try out by the airport I got rooms for $45-$55 a night. You'll have to spend some time on the light rail system, but the way I look at it, it's more beer $.We're downtown, with walking distance of the rink. I like being in the action and partying with the Sioux fans from all over the US and Canada...I'm so ready to go now that the Sioux are in...

I am definitely there! Working on hockey tickets...I ran into someone after the game last night that said he works for the St. Louis Blues organization. He gave me his number and said he could get me lower bowl tickets or a suite. Gonna call a little later and find out if it's legit.Hey Ms. Forecheck... My experience has been that when the Goofs are out, tickets are easy to get on the street from the scalpers at or near face value. The exception was last year when another team with a varmint for a mascot was playing in its home rink (well pretty near it home rink)...that was a tough ticket. This year will be more like Columbus where there are no college teams, etc. I'd just get them when you arrive. I'm sure they will be available...

Having been to the Frozen Four the last 2 years as a college student, I would guess-timate that it will cost you approximately:
$150-200 for tickets
$100-150 for hotel/person(more people, the better)
$100-$200 for alcohol(should you drink)
$100 for extras(low-balling that)
Grand Total: $500 or so for a Frozen Four experience
Are you walking to STL?
Airline tickets should be better now than when I booked on NWA a few months back...The Goofer fans had all the seats taken. Should be able to get a roundtripper out of Fargo for around $500...I paid over $600....I guess that will cut into my beer budget...NOT.

Congrats to Carman (forgive me if I misspelled that name) for the huge celebration and jersey pop with 57 minutes to go...really helped the Sioux team gather their focus...
Seriously though, what a great game for college hockey fans. I'm so glad the Sioux won because I've had my airline tickets and hotel for months now. I would not have cheered for the Gophers in any event because of the above mentioned conduct, conduct that seems so universal on that team. Please compare Carman's goal celebration to Bina's. Who knows the game is sixty minutes (at least) and who doesn't?

Whats the 23 in your name for, tonights score?
23 - Ralph Engelstad's number...Congrats on that sensible choice rodent boy...
-
How about "the road to St. Louis Starts Here" ? Or "This Way to St. Louis" "Lets Go SIOUX"
How about "St. Louis declared Rodent Free"

Here's hoping the yellow-headed jersey poppers play exactly the same way tomorrow night...

Updates???
I'm still so P.O.ed about Goofers playing 10 minutes of a 60 minute game and coming out on top...It just makes me sick. I'm sure their proud and arrogant fans are popping their jerseys in downtown Denver as I write this post, little do they realize just how badly MN played. I'm not sure I could watch them go to St. Louis and put up with their fans at the bars, etc. The trip is all booked so hopefully the Sioux will come thru. Either way, I'm hoping Goofers play like they did today because, in that case, either Michigan or North Dakota will blow them off the ice...
-
I'm pretty sure he was joking.
Well, thank God...
I'm pretty sure that if the Sioux would have won anymore games, they would have eliminated themselves from the regions altogether.

Notre Dame is the number one team in the country and Ryan Duncan is out in the hotel parking lot dunking basketballs...Good luck to Notre Dame tomorrow night...
-
bu/st game cant start til the notre dame game is over, double ot
But, will we see any "Robbie the Dive" crawling-off-the-ice moves in the 2nd OT... Wow, where is he now???
-
I'm loving these commercial-free overtimes...

How true... Ooops. GTG. Bonus coverage as a result of Jan Brady State not giving Maine anything to worry about...
I take back the "hanging around" comment. Notre Dame is outshooting Alabama 46 to 17...
-
The funny thing is, if Alabama-Huntsville does upset Notre Dame, it won't make it as a headline in any Alabama paper outside of Huntsville!
How true... Ooops. GTG. Bonus coverage as a result of Jan Brady State not giving Maine anything to worry about...

Irish/Ala.-Huntsville going to OT
That's right. Like the announcer said " I can't believe that the Irish are allowing Alabama to hang around after the Irish were ranked the #1 team all year"....BAHWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH....
Closer to the truth is that Alabama is playing as well as the Irish and there's no letting them "hang around"...Go Alabama... -
Red River High School (a very respectable high school program) has done this every year at the ND state tournament for quite a few years now. Didn't Potulny and Irmen bring this "tradition" to Minnesota?
Grant Potulny did it...Ryan and (V)irmen were freshmen..

I did not say anything about the game. I honestly think that UND did not play great hockey last night and the Goofs played well enough to win. But I did say they have the most inmature fans in college hockey. That includes the 60 year old man behind me that did not think the goofs should ever get a penalty and was swearing at me up and down when we scored our first goal.
What about the Goofer Jerk-XFF fan that was doing the "woowoowoowoowoo" that could be plainly heard over the TV broadcast last night. There is no way that was a Fighting Sioux fan doing that...very very very very disrespectful and classless.

A proper use of "jersey popping" happend last year when Irmen scored a goal right out of the penalty box against the sioux. He received a nasty tongue lashing from sioux fans (as every visiting offender does and should receive) mainly about choosing to play at Minnesota, and then scored a goal by embarrasing Parise. Holding up the M on his jersey in front of the fans in this case is acceptable, but Saturday night was a little surprising. Maybe Wheeler got nervous about scoring an important goal and went for the jersey on a knee jerk reaction.
Irmen should have stayed a gopher...he fit right in there, the filthy jersey-popping grandstanding gopher that he is.
As I recall, UND didn't miss him as during his time as a gopher. Because of his highly-elevated opinion of himself (that others obviously don't share), Irmen gets to rot away on a wild farm team instead of trying to redeem himself for the most embarrassing loss in the history of college hockey...
Here's hoping the UND and UM meet in Denver next Saturday night. If they do, I'm going to try to fly out there...

I agree. The Devils looked like a different team at first, then they let down a bit in the second and then came back strong. Parise has made more hits this series than he has all year...Six Goals, eight or nine hits...
