dagies Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Let me set up the scene. Jones gathers the puck in the left corner behind the Sioux goal. He throws it up the left wall where Spirko tips it out to Zajac who is building speed from the face off dot. Zajac and Oshie explode out of the zone. Peltier is skating backwards and has plenty of room to stay in front of Zajac. Irmen is racing to stick with Oshie, and doing a pretty good job of it. Oshie is breaking down on Frazee's left, and Zajac on the right. Peltier kind of stays in the middle, not taking Zajac straight on. Maybe he thought Oshie would beat Irmen, and he appears to be protecting the pass, rather than taking the puck carrier. They cross the offensive zone blue line and Zajac lets go a ripper from just outside the dots. At this point Oshie and Irmen are both converging on the goal, Irmen between Oshie and Zajac. Irmen turns his back toward Oshie as Zajac shoots, and Oshie converges with Irmen. It was legal, as it was just body bumping and both players were positioning for a rebound. However, Oshie's momentum knocked Irmen forward and as you remember he went sprawling into Frazee and straight into the net. The snapshot pretty much tells the story from here. Special thanks to my friend jv for snapping this image out of his DVD recording of the game and to Sprig for making it possible to post it here. As for me, this is my desktop at work. Quote

tbridge84 Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 this is quite possibly the dumbest thread i have ever seen Quote
Diggler Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Glad you registered just to share that ever so important opinion. Quote
NorthDakotaHockey Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 'Tis a hilarious photo. An even better set-up Dagies. Just as I remembered it. I don't like Irmen, other than for the fact that he is just another of a growing number of Lucia's out-state recruits that have finally put that program - long mired in misery trying to win with all Minnesota boys - back on a winning track. And those alternate home deep yellow jerseys? What'a they thinking? Quote
WPoS Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 dagies, why the GOPHER stalking?!?!? Methinks you liek them a little! WPoS Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 this is quite possibly the dumbest thread i have ever seen Actually, the dumbest thing I have ever seen was at the WJC when your one move wonder thought he could use his one move on the Canadian D-men. Wound up on his butt each and every time which also made it quite hilarious and my favorite moment from the tournament. The photo was also great and PCM's modification was priceless. Quote

redwing77 Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Not related really. I have the video of the Spirko undressing but does anyone happen to have the Zajac-Oshie 2 on 1 that resulted in the game winner? Woog's call of it was classic. Quote
Diggler Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Welcome, Danny. Don't be mean to him, Danny rules. He told me he liked my cape and his sister had one just like it. Let's just say it didn't go well for Irmen after that and he didn't talk to me anymore. Quote
choyt3 Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Not related really. I have the video of the Spirko undressing ... Dude, time and place. Quote
PCM Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Don't be mean to him, Danny rules. He told me he liked my cape and his sister had one just like it. His sister wears a Fighting Sioux cape! Cool! Now we know who's responsible for Irmen's jersey-popping display. Quote

Diggler Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Dude, time and place. But that isn't good enough for him. Now he wants the video of Zajac and The Oshie doubleteaming Frazee. Just wrong. Quote
Runninwiththedogs Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Not related really. I have the video of the Spirko undressing... YOU HAVE VHAT??? I'm never speaking to you again. Quote
redwing77 Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Wow I feel like a celebrity! I say something and it gets blown out of context! Now, if only I could be rich enough to be in that wacko cult...... Seriously, anyone have the game winning goal on mpeg or wmv or whatever from the Saturday gopher game? Quote
buckysieve Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 And those alternate home deep yellow jerseys? What'a they thinking? Deep yellow? It's called gold and those uni's are sweet! Quote
sprig Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Deep yellow? It's called gold and those uni's are sweet! Good to know it was gold my lab peed on the floor a couple nights ago. Quote
