Reff: Your guy was barely bodied and threw himself into the wall to draw a major penalty. Sandy: Then why didn't you call it a dive? Reff: Because Bruce Ciskie would've had a stroke in the radio booth, and we'd have to hold up the game. You're welcome for not calling the dive. 6 Quote

Reff: Because Bruce Ciskie would've had a stroke in the radio booth, and we'd have to hold up the game. You're welcome for not calling the dive. The Verhoeff hit occurs with 7:28 left in the 3rd. Bibby skates to the corner, stops, looks over his shoulder, sees Verhoeff, feels contact and jumps into the boards. Verhoeff immediately puts his hand up like “Are you kidding me?” Announcers comments BEYOND rediculous. Implying same hit as Strathman received. And “Even worse” ?? Guys, he was closer to the boards which is better. I’m pleasantly surprised the stripes got it right. Maybe they’re on to the Duluth diving team. 1 Quote

Ciskie was being an unreasonable baby as per usual, but the standards for radio guys and writers are very different. You won’t see Matt Wellens whining on social media like Ciskie. Although very few media folk whine as much as Ciskie lol You're right, I didn't include the full context. They use(d) this justification to incessantly harass about being a homer while Ciskie.... exists. Their lines of attack were smooth-brained: referring to UMD as Duluth means UND should be referred to as Grand Forks, Brad let the administration off easy for cutting the women's team, etc. 1 Quote

Basically he is a little banged up and unfortunately plays through a lot of pain even on a good day. He probably could have played, but they want to do their best to have him available and feeling as good as possible for the stretch run. Quote

That world does not exist as he is a professional and the darn good one The fact that Bruce isn't on X and only on I am a victim social tells me all I need to know. Quote

One of my media friends who used to do the PxP for a certain CCHA team was sitting with me in the press box during the Final Five, and he was perusing Ciskie's Twitter feed, and he asked me, " Does he tweet during all of the games. He couldn't believe it. It came off as fanboyish behavior. Quote

Your takes also can't blindly contradict what 99% of people saw with their eyes as well. At some point you'd think the Sports Information Director for UMD athletics would tell him to get away from keyboard warrior moments during games. 1 Quote
lawkota Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago Congrats to Minnesota-Duluth for failing to win a regular season conference title for the 33rd consecutive season! Yeah, I dusted off a post from 5 years ago. I'm not very original. 1 Quote
