Up next: The Golden Griffins

[PCM]

It's time to focus on UND's next series.

Brian Cavenaugh, coach of the Canisius Golden Griffins for 24 years, was fired last Friday. According to a story at USCHO:

It was rumored by numerous sources that the Canisius players were planning a revolt against the veteran coach and had told Dillon that if something wasn't done they wouldn't play tonight's game at Mercyhurst. There was no indication of what might have fueled this anarchistic attitude among the players.

Here's a story on Cavenaugh's firing from the Buffalo News.

Canisius beat Mercyhurst 4-3 Friday and tied 2-2 Saturday. The Griffs lead the Atlantic Hockey Conference with a 7-2-1 record.

I predict a split.

Stafford starts practicing with the WJ team on Thursday. Does this mean that he won't be playing for the Sioux this weekend. I know on Sunday he will definitely be playing for team USA, but does anyone know if he will be playing with the Sioux on Friday and Saturday or be watching from the stands with the rest of team USA?

[nodakvindy]

A loss to Canisius would be as shocking as the loss to US International over the holidays during the 86-87 season. Although if it resulted in the season ending the same way I would gladly take it.

[AZSIOUX]

it sounded like he will not play this weekend from the broadcasts last night. he will be with USA. i may be wrong so someone else can confirm this...

[Goon]

I predict a split.

According to someone that saw them play this year apparently they are so bad if UND loses to them we too suck.

I find it safe to say that, should ANY WCHA team lose to any AHA or CHA team, they suck.

It would be as bad as BC losing to Harvard.... oh wait. They did.

[Poncho & Lefty]

Don't count your eggs before they hatch fellaz, the players threatened for a revolt, they'll do anything to go and take points from a big time program like the guys in green.

We aren't going to lose the Golden Griffins.

Isn't the Golden Griffins the name of Harry Potter's house? Maybe Canisious is the American wizard school. That would explain Jon Durno, maybe he really is a Wookie? Or some sort of Ogre like the big guy that is friends with Harry Potter.

If we lose to Canisius i wont go to another game this year. Do they still have that guy with the long hair that was kicked out of the game a few years ago.

Derek Smalls? Yes, he's still on the team.

Griffindor, love the books

[PCM]

Yikes!

Still more problems for Canisius. Here's an article from INCH.

EDIT: "...exposing himself at Jim's Steak-Out"? If that's not an opportunity for a sign, I don't know what is!

Canisius: Defense Indecently Exposed and Left Dangling In the Wind

[dagies]

HAHAHA!

Reading the article PCM linked, I could hear my mother's voice in the background. This is what she'd say just about any time some kid would get into trouble.

"Makes you wonder if drugs or alcohol were involved"

[Diggler]

So this guy also punched a cop? Because of this, I think it is our job as students to protect the cop in the penalty box should Bognar the Exposure get a penalty. We need to bring mace and rubber bullets. We must protect Russ and Co.!!!

It's going to be easier than you think. Bognar was suspended

Actually the name of Harry Potter's house is Gryfindor (sp?). You were close though. That would be funny to see a sign that says Hey Jon Durno, why don't you go and try out for quidditch practices instead??

[SiouxMeNow]

Derek Smalls? Yes, he's still on the team.

Don't know where I saw this but Chewbacca CUT HIS HAIR and you wouldn't even recognize him now...too bad...he was a RIOT last year.

[petey23]

He is lucky that the Minneapolis police dog was not there.

Oops! Sorry -- the web site brings you Canisius' athletic home page. Look up #12 Jonathan Durno on the hockey roster page.

For those fans in Fargo who can't make it to the games, or like to tape them while at the games...I emailed CableOne and the FSSN is now on channel 44.
