PCM Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Commodore did score the first goal of the 2000 national championship game against BC. It was a rebound off Brian Lundbohm's shot. Ulmer scored the game- winner in a simlar manner on a rebound off Goren's shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulmer scored the game- winner in a simlar manner on a rebound off Goren's shot. Isn't it amazing what happens when, in a close game, you actually shoot the puck on net and not try to get really fine around the edges (and end up shooting wide)?

dagies Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I misread Mad Man's post. I thought he was saying that was Commie's first goal. In fact he was saying Commie scored the first goal of the nc game. Big difference. Sorry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact he was saying Commie scored the first goal of the nc game. Big difference. Sorry about that. That was his fifth goal of the season. He ended that season 5-7-12, a real scoring machine. A third of his scoring came in the post season (2 goals, 2 assists) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Mike Commodore mixing it up at the end of the period when one of Vancovers thugs cheaps a Flame along the benches. Classic Mike sticking his nose in there and getting it dirty. Mike has the classic Commodore hair due sticking out of his helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprig Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Also odd he didn't get an assist on the GWG, as it was his shot that deflected and went in: The Flames caught a break on Iginla's goal that snapped a 1-1 tie. A shot by defenseman Mike Commodore ricocheted in off Iginla and the skate of Canucks defender Mattias Ohlund, who was tied up in the crease with Flames forward Martin Gelinas.

CoteauRinkRat Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Its great to watch Commie play in the playoffs. With his performance last night, it shows that he is an offensive machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert but if it went in off a Canuck maybe they give the goal to the last Calgary player who touched the puck but don't give any assists. Maybe Woog was the scorer that night.

Goon Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 http://www.calgaryflames.com/cgi-bin/news/..._num=0000000180 Commie had a piece written about him on the Calgary Web Site... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwade Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 FYI, Hale is FINALLY playing. I guess watching Giroux get pushed several feet across the ice by Primeau multiple times was finally too much for Burns to take. Now, if he'd just replace Albelin with DeMarchi, I'd feel much better. The game is on ABC (you can check Center Ice if you don't get this game); the time for tomorrow's game won't be announced til after this one :-). -Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffian Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Despite the outcome for the Islanders Blake did have a good a series. It surprised me he came back so quickly from his high ankle sprain and was still effective. Parrish was out much longer with his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanleycheats Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 i would just like to say that one of the fighting sioux's greatest alums tony hrkac has been playing in the ahl, its sad to see one of the college's greatest all-time players on his way at playing teams called the ice cats, lock monsters, or everyones favorite team the always popular Bridgeport Sound Tigers. I'm fine seeing Travis Roche, Lee Goren, and Ryan Bayda try and build their careers through minor league hockey, but to see Hrkac end his career playing against people half his age if very saddening. On a good note it was nice to see Murray Baron playing playoff hockey for the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night, and Brad Bombadir of Nashville.

On a good note it was nice to see Murray Baron playing playoff hockey for the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night, and Brad Bombadir of Nashville. Hrkac, whether you want to admit it or not, is getting up there in age. For someone with his age, he's lucky to be still in professional hockey at all. And, mind you, he may be in the AHL, but I thought his rights were owned by an NHL team, therefore allowing him to be called up if need be. With the lockout looming, it would not be surprising to see Hrkac retire. A note about that link listed earlier in the thread, it is out of date. But I'm surprised, as I perused the Hockey Database site, that most of those players listed are still playing hockey in some form professionally. Also, did you know that UND had a player drafted #8 overall way back when play for the Sioux? Josh Herper was his name. Didn't know that. Evidentally, he was also a bust as he never made it to the NHL. I think he played with UND in the early 90s and only for a season or two.

If you watch CBC, you will hear the guys talking about this on the hot stove. This maybe the end of Chelios, Hull, Shannahan, Federov, Forsberg, Insert your favorite multi millionare _________ that has been in the NHL for a long time and made a lot of money. Also there are a lot of guys like Hrkac hanging on for one more chance in the NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 On a good note it was nice to see Murray Baron playing playoff hockey for the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night, and Brad Bombadir of Nashville. Ryan Johnson also plays for the Blues, while his brother Greg plays for Nashville. We have Belfour in Toronto, Blake for NY, Commie in Calgary, and Hale in NJ. I'm sure I missed some other playoff roster former Sioux. Any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 During intermission break of Toronto and Ottawa, ESPN showed a clip of Calgary coming out of the tunnel. Ferraro had to make a comment on Commie's fro. Facts are, he looks like Ogie Oglethorpe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickgraham Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Perhaps UND's best defensemen, James Patrick, is still strapping them on for the Buffalo Sabers. DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
