forecheck Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Just to let you know, I've heard back from 8 people about the game. I've e-mailed a couple other who showed interest in playing, and I'm still waiting to hear back if the goalie can still make it. Here is the team so far: 747 Guy, Nathan, morely, Mory00, brianv, Brian's friend, Wantagh, and Wantagh's friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacardio Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 Forechech, I am in and good for the money, just tell me where I need to send it. I can be reached at bacardio@yahoo.com. I have been off the forum for a few days, so I apoligize for running behind on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forecheck Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 That's no problem, I actually just sent you an e-mail today. I plan on collecting the money at the rink that Sunday, I just wanted people's names as some sort of reassurance that I would get reimbursed. I'll add you to the list. 747 Guy, Nathan, morely, Mory00, brianv, Brian's friend, Wantagh, Wantagh's friend, and Bacardio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forecheck Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Just wondering. How many of the people who said they were going to be there to play on March 23 will be there whether or not the Sioux make it? Of course I know they Sioux will be there but just in case I want to make sure we'll have a team regardless. If someone doesn't plan on being there if the Sioux don't make it, please let me know ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mksioux Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 If the Sioux don't make it and someone bails on you, I can be a replacement. I live in the Twin Cities and have no plans that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacardio Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 I live in the cities, so I will be there no matter what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forecheck Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Does anyone know a goalie who would want to play? Hopper's friend that was originally going to play is going to be in a wedding, so that fell through. mksioux, thanks. Do you happen to have any goalie pads?

mksioux Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Sorry...no goalie pads. The only goalie I know down here is a Gopher fan...so that is not an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyeagle Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 One of the regular goalies in our POI games is a UND alum and he has expressed an interest in playing for the Sioux team a few times. Unfortunately, he apparently has equipment issues (needs a new lid) and may not be able to suit up in the near future. He is dbnets on POI and a very good goalie and a great guy.

dbnets1 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Greyeagle: Nice words, thanks. My wife disagrees, and says I can be a schmuck, but that's another thread, huh?? Good afternoon, UND sports fans. This is dbnets, I just registered and am hereby expressing interest in tending the nets for the Sioux team. I really like the POI crew, but man my alma mater is UND, and I'd be honored...... I attended UND from 1979-1983, during some awesome Gino Gasparini-led Sioux teams. Fond memories of Marc Chorney (really shows my age), Phil Sykes, Mark Taylor, Fast Eddie Belfour, Scottie Sandelin, James Patrick, Troy Murray, Jon Casey, Tony Hrkac, etc......I guess you get the picture. The equipment deal will be worked out, post-haste. I'll be there, just tell me when. If you've scored a Gumper, just let me know......no hard feelings. The POI crew has access to some REAL good goalies (especially be aware of Brickwall), and I'm only OK, but I think I wouldn't be too sievey - will keep it a game, etc., as long as UND has some scoring. Have played a lot with the POI crowd this winter/last. Let me know, Sioux fans. Drop the puck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbnets1 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Double post - just read through this entire thread, from start to finish, to get the flavor of it. My bad: if this game is locked and loaded for Sunday, March 23rd, I cannot play. I'll be on my way to a northern Minny ski trip with a huge group of neighbors, it's the start of our kid's spring break. Sorry - but keep me in mind if the game ends up getting moved to BEFORE or DURING the Final 5 tourney, for whatever reason. I could play Th, F, or Sa that weekend. Just not Sunday.

forecheck Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Thanks for the interest dbnets! Because of the delay in finding a goaltender for the Sioux team, I found out today from bertibm (the Gopher fan reserving the ice) that the ice he was looking at is no longer available. He said he would look around for some ice elsewhere, but I suppose that doesn't necessarily mean the game will be on Sunday either. Sorry, it's probably my fault that I didn't e-mail him soon enough, but I wanted to wait until I was sure we had a full team. So if anyone knows of a goaltender, let me know, and dbnets, I'll e-mail you if the game day changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbnets1 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Forecheck: Thanks a lot!!! I really do want to play, but all the fun stuff seems to happen at the same time. I see/chat with bertibm pretty often through POI ice and related posts, so will check with him, plus check here for updates. Let's see, if the Sioux sweep UW in Madtown, then open at home and beat Denver (?), then maybe face UMD in St. Paul, that Thursday night??? Man, that's a lot of ifs............fingers are crossed. Need the goaltending to hold up, to put it mildly.......and not get stonewalled with a hot goalie i.e. vs. UMD. Fond memories of Sioux road games on the big screen at Frenchie's Bar, think it's gone now............... dbnets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertibm Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Have you found a Goalie Yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forecheck Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 No, unless the game is played on a different day than Sunday, in which dbnets1 would be the goalie. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbnets1 Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 I'm lost...........why can't this epic battle be sometime that Saturday afternoon.......down to two WCHA teams by that time, and they would play that night for all the marbles. If Sioux fans would be here to play Sunday, wouldn't it follow that they would also be here on Saturday, wanting to work off Friday night's hangover with some fast-paced hockey action??? I don't get it. Please assist. bertibm: I could assist with securing some ice for Saturday. For instance, right now - just checked: BIG has ice available Sat. 3/22 at 3:45 pm. Scenario: play some hockey, drink some beers, go to Gopher puck in the eve./entertain these nice guys/girls from UND. dbnets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forecheck Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 I think this would definitely work, especially since you want to play the goalie position and we need someone for that spot. Would everyone else be willing to play Saturday afternoon instead of Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyeagle Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 FYI - There still is a third place game during the final five - follow this WCHA FF Link for details. I have respectfully refrained from making a joke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forecheck Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Thank you for your discretion Greyeagle. Bertibm, are you still looking for ice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbnets1 Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Forecheck: I just posted on the POI web page about this, and bertibm replied that Saturday will not work "due to the Gophers". Also, I forgot that there is a third place game in the aft. - I think our guys just want to leave Saturday day and night both free, just in case. Regarding ice, all's I know is that bertibm's original ice lapsed b/c he didn't have any $$ commitment from the UND side (I can understand that - it's typically a bill in the $200-225 range, I think). Regarding still searching for new ice, I think it's back to some kind of $$ commitment that it will be "game on, drop the puck". So, no, I don't think there's been recent activity looking for new ice. Bertibm's the man on this. I'll stay out of it, other than to say I'd love to tend nets, but simply cannot help on Sunday.

forecheck Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 dbnets1, thanks. I dropped Bertibm an e-mail last night. I need an address if I'm expected to pay someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertibm Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Well, i dont know If I can get Ice now. I am still looking? Find a Goalie Yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morley Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 starting to think it is a lost cause. Not that it wouldn't be fun, but that is exactly the point, spending to much time on this might be taking some of the fun out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forecheck Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Well, i dont know If I can get Ice now. I am still looking? Find a Goalie Yet? I e-mailed Wilbur on USCHO to see if he was interested and haven't heard back from him yet. I don't know anyone else who plays goalie, so unless this game is on a different day besides Sunday, in which dbnets1 would play, then we don't have one. If anyone else knows someone who would want to play, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
