WPoS Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 Would you "hot doggit" (what the hell is that?) against nasty Gopher fans, or try to whip them like the redheaded step-children that they are? I think we all know the answer to that question. With all the happy, "let's hold hands" attitudes floating around here, I can see that I'm going to have to drop the timid, nice guy coaching style and adopt a hard ass, in your face style. what ,you are not going to hand out kittens again this year prior to the game?!?! WPoS Quote
redwing77 Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 what ,you are not going to hand out kittens again this year prior to the game?!?! WPoS I heard POI fans eat kittens just kidding Quote
bertibm Posted February 3, 2004 Author Posted February 3, 2004 Ok so Far POI has 6 people. I will get 10 for sure. I am going to try for the same rink in Minnetonka, or try Plymouth, or Brooklyn Park. Something on the northwest side. I will keep everyone updated. Quote
Bacardio Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 I agree with Greyeagle, last year did actually get a little to competitive as in a lot if extra stickwork. As much as for both teams trying, the POI team diffinitly was trying to win, but towards the end of the game I think the Sioux players were just trying to catch their breath and avoid a heart attack. Then again, maybe that was just me. Quote
redwing77 Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 I am hoping (against hope?) that PCM can make it to this so we could have a USCHO-style game recap posted here. Post game reactions, a box score, the works. That would be really really cool. When all the information is together, please post it all here or PM me with it so I can pass it to my friend who can serve as a player if not an alternate. I'll handle the costs involved. Thanks.

bertibm Posted February 18, 2004 Author Posted February 18, 2004 Ok, so what is the Plan. Forecheck do you have a team? Quote
forecheck Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 So far this is the roster: jk mksioux 747guy Fire Chartreuse Musky Killer and friend bacardio Kirk MinnesotaNorthStar Goalie: stuckinfargo I emailed the two guys who said they weren't sure if they could play or not. If anyone knows someone who would like to play for the good guys on the Sunday after the Final Five, let me know. Redwing, let me know if your friend can play. We need to get the ice reserved, so the sooner the better. After paying my bills today, I'm just hoping I'll have enough money to cover the Sioux team temporarily. Quote
MinnesotaNorthStar Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 I'll check with a friend of mine who may or may not be in town. Quote
bertibm Posted February 19, 2004 Author Posted February 19, 2004 Forecheck, If we are looking at getting 1 1/2 hours of ice, it will be a little more spendy this year if we want a rink in the NW burbs. Right now the best I can find would be around $130 a team. So $10 more than last year if that is ok with you Quote

Right now the best I can find would be around $130 a team. So $10 more than last year if that is ok with you I'm intending on getting fully reimbursed, so that's up to everyone else. Although I don't think it should be a problem since that will only be $1 more per person. Quote
747Guy Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 A nice rink that is somewhat centrally located that is also close to Joe Senser's (for after game pops) is the Bloomington Ice Garden. Weekdays 3 -9:45 p.m. Weekends 6 a.m. - 9:45 p.m. The rate for 1.5 hours would be $217 + tax = $231.64 or $115.82 / team. Just thought I would throw that out there for ya! Quote
bertibm Posted February 24, 2004 Author Posted February 24, 2004 Forecheck I have not made the ice yet since I do not have a 10% gaurentee that you have a team. When will you know. Please email me asap Jerred.Kline@prodigy.net Once you have a for sure team I will get the ice and wait for a check from you Quote
diggin42 Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 Forecheck, I might be able to help y'all out. I'm 41 yrs old and not very good, but I play in a lower-level non-checking league in the Twin Cities and you're game sounds like fun. I suspect everyone plays at a higher level than me, but if your bench is short, I can at least give the first line (or two) a breather. If you need an extra player, you can email me at dlveer@yahoo.com. Quote
forecheck Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 diggin, we could most definitely use you. That would make 10 skaters. I'll send you an email with more details, but for now I'll count on you as being there. After deliberations and player cuts the final roster is: jk mksioux 747guy Fire Chartreuse Musky Killer and friend bacardio Kirk MinnesotaNorthStar diggin42 SiouxTupa Goalie: stuckinfargo Bertibm, I'll also send you an email, but we have a full team. I would check into the place 747Guy mentioned. An after-game drink at Sensors sounds like fun! When the time, place, and $$ are settled I'll send everyone on the team an email. Quote
Fedorov Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 After...player cuts the final roster is: Ouch, tough coach. Why not roll four lines? Quote
MinnesotaNorthStar Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 Bertibm, I'll also send you an email, but we have a full team. I would check into the place 747Guy mentioned. An after-game drink at Sensors sounds like fun! When the time, place, and $$ are settled I'll send everyone on the team an email. Bloomington Ice Gardens is a pretty nice rink. I played there a few times in my youth hockey days. I would not be adverse to an arena around an establishment for a post-game beverage or two (probably not more since I have to drive back to Grand Forks afterwards). Quote
mksioux Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 I'll shamelessly plug for somewhere in the north metro (where I live). It's also closer to Grand Forks. Columbia Arena in Fridley on University Avenue a couple miles north of 694 might be a good location. I'm fine with wherever. I think we'll be able to find post-game pops no matter where we play.

WPoS Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 forecheck, what should the "coaches" wager be this year? WPoS Quote
forecheck Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 forecheck, what should the "coaches" wager be this year? WPoS I'm damn near broke, so it should be cheap but interesting. You up for a run down a busy road in nothing but a pink thong after the Sioux win? Quote
redwing77 Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 I'm damn near broke, so it should be cheap but interesting. You up for a run down a busy road in nothing but a pink thong after the Sioux win? Oh my GOD! We want to get the best of him, not put the lot of both teams in therapy! Quote
WPoS Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 Oh my GOD! We want to get the best of him, not put the lot of both teams in therapy! teams in therapy!??! HECK, you'd have to go on suicide watch! WPoS Quote

Not to be a prick, but I know how to make ice and know where I should. I did this last year. The ice will be in the West or Northwest Metro. Rinks I am looking into are, Maple Grove, Brooklyn Park, Plymouth, Minnetonka. Quote
bertibm Posted February 25, 2004 Author Posted February 25, 2004 Right now the best I can do is Plymouth and that is for 1hour and 15 minutes. Should I get that? It would be around $100 per team. Let me know asap. Quote
bertibm Posted February 25, 2004 Author Posted February 25, 2004 Ok, Here are the choices I will let the SS team choose since some of them have to drive back to ND. I need to know by Friday, if I dont see anything I will make the ice where I want Plymouth Ice arena 1hr 15min 11:30 to 12:45 Price would be in the range of $110 per team Brooklyn Park: 1 hr 30min 10:15 to 11:45 Price would be around $110 per team Maple Grove Waiting on them Columbia Arena Fridley. 1hr 30 min 2:15 to 3:45 $100 per team. Please let me know asap Quote
