gopherz Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Only a few more hours!! I'm sure I'll be seeing plenty of you there, and probably eating at Big 10 before the game. Wearing the maroon jersey and hat Quote
cujo2 Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Yep Bickel is a hack. ohhhh the irony. I really need to dedicate more of my time reading here. It is just pure comedy. Quote
FIRE HELMET GUY #26 Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Yep Bickel is a hack. You say hack, I say enforcer.....and every team needs an enforcer. We just have not had one in a while, probably not since DeMarchi. Quote
Shawn-O Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Yep Bickel is a hack. Disagree. Bickel plays hard-nosed, physical hockey. He looks like a prototypical Sioux blueliner, with an ugly sweater. Quote

Sioux-cia Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 The biggest whinning in the WCHA. isn't the Sioux complaining about the refing, it's the Goofs crying about the Sioux's physicality. "Oh the Sioux are soooo cheap. Blah, blah, blah, boo, hoo, hoo." What Bickel does does is being 'physical' and what the Sioux do is being 'cheap'. Therein lies the joke!! You're right cujo, this is pure comedy. The Goof's should be required to have a note from mommy giving them permission to play hockey where, guess what, players get checked, get pushed around, get shoved around, etc. If the Sioux are too physical for the mommy's boys, then, gosh darn it, don't play hockey. Join the band, the dance squad, the chess club, etc. There are lot's of non-contact school activities they can join. Poor babies.... Quote
bertibm Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Don adam is the ref ars are cj berline and brad shepherd Quote
Goon Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 ohhhh the irony. I really need to dedicate more of my time reading here. It is just pure comedy. Please do expand on that comment. Let me guess your going to call Kaip or Finley a hack? Quote
Goon Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Don adam is the ref ars are cj berline and brad shepherd I just make $#!t as I go. We want sheppard... Clap, clap, clap, clap... Quote
dagies Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Then you have not been watching the right guy. Let me know what you think after this weekend, and the Green and White glasses are off. (ok, maybe after next weekend) Should be fun tonight. Hope to see some of you there, although I hope you are not right behind me.... Yeah, the butt end he put into the back of Miller's head in December falls within the rules. Link to the scrum here. Quote
cujo2 Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Please do expand on that comment. Let me guess your going to call Kaip or Finley a hack? The irony lies in the fact that sioux fans label the style of game Stu Bickel plays as a "hack" but label the exact style of game Joe Finley plays (or any other sioux defenseman) as a "physical". Basically Bickel plays identical to the norm of und defenseman but he is labeled a "hack" instead of "physical". You could call that ironic, hypocritical, or downright homerism. I simply choose the word irony. Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 I don't remember seeing this posted anywhere, but it was written by our very own PCM, who is still MIA: USCHO - Lammy What is up with that anyway? Obviously I must of missed something. Quote

I simply choose the word irony. gimme a break, i think everybody knows what u were saying. the irony is that a sioux fan would call another person a hack, right? the implication being that we all cheer for a bunch of hacks every weekend. dont start backpedaling now Quote

I simply choose the word irony. How about every time I watch the gophers this season and there is a questionable cheap act for the Goofs Ala the butt end (which is a minute major) ironically Bickle is right in the middle of it, but hey the Goofs have had their share of these type of players, Jeff "after the whislte"Taffe, Matt "Cross check" Demarchi just to name a few.

Boy Named Sioux Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Don adam is the ref ars are cj berline and brad shepherd Sweet - I loved that guy in Get Smart. Wonder if he'll call upstairs for video review on a "skate-phone". note - if you are under 30-35 years old - you probably won't 'get' this one (which is just fine cuz its not very funny anyway).

If he really does as like Maxwell Smart, he would take his skate off and end up cutting his face. (By the way, I'm only 25, and I get the reference). Quote

Until the Goofs have a let's drop the gloves and settle this like a man type player in their lineup don't waste your time debating this subject with the kings of slappy fighting and matching perms.

Prpich, Greene, Blake, just to name a few. Every team over the years has these types of players. By the way why didn't you mention Westrum? He's the first Gopher that comes to my mind when it comes to cheapness. Quote
Fetch Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 note - if you are under 30-35 years old - you probably won't 'get' this one wasn't that like the cone of silence ? - I think this was the portable unit) here it is Quote

GOLDIESGIRL Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 I don't think that they can play any worst than saturday against UAA so hopefully they got a bad game out of there system "WORST"? what the hell, you must be a UND grad. Quote
Boy Named Sioux Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 I want a shoe phone... Other reasons Don makes a good ref: -After a disallowed goal he always says "missed it by that much". -Experienced at keeping KAOS under control (which there is sure to be plenty of). -Anyone jaw-jacking him for missed/bad calls get the "Cone of Silence dropped on their azzes. -When asked by coaches why he made/didn't make calls on a play he always starts out his explaination "would you believe..." -Video Replay official for tonight is Agent 99 (she's hot) Quote
Goon Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 "WORST"? what the hell, you must be a UND grad. I remember those when I was in Germany, the are like a brautworst Quote
