squirtcoach Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 A guy I used to cheer against, former Gopher Gary Shopek is battling late stage esophageal cancer. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. Today I am cheering for this Golden Gopher. Win this one Gary! http://www.startribune.com/sports/gophers/252231581.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MafiaMan Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 God be with you Shopek family. Sioux are on your team on this one. Sad article...erased my comments twice because I didn't know how to say what I wanted to say. You summed it up perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This hits home especially hard for me this weekend and I hope the Shopek family can enjoy their time with Gary, no matter how long it may be.

Frozen4sioux Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 May God shed his grace and peace over This man and his Family. "Stick tap" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
808287 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I remember this name...and I didn't take him for a walk-on. Not for a minute. It was a name I didn't want to see on the ice...like MIcheletti. Like all Sioux fans, I appreciate the competitive spirit of a man who would play league hockey into his late forties. Another stick tap. Raise 'em high.

farce poobah Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I could never say how I feel as well as the Psalmist. 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
