Siouxdonyms Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Edmonton just skating all around Carolina right now, but the game still remains 1-0. Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Brind'Amour ties the game at 1. Let's go for OT. Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Matt Greene getting some more air time from the commentators. They mentioned how Matt can bench nearly 500 pounds. I'm waiting for the "accident" story to surface. Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Edmonton takes the 2-1 lead with just over 2 minutes remaining in the 3rd period. Quote
SiouxPride0303 Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Yessssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2-1 Oilers!!! Quote
Sioux-cia Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 WOW! The crowd sounds like Sioux fans after the Holy Cross OT goal against the Gophers!! Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Edmonton wins, 2-1. Series 2-1 Carolina. EDIT: Just in case someone didn't know that. Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Did anybody just see the singing of the 2 National Anthems? A Canadian opera singer sang the American Natinal Anthem first. They showed the crowd and there were people in Oiler jerseys singing along. He sang O Canada second and held the mic up after singing just a few sentences andthe crown took over. They sang LOUD and with PASSION. Too bad that doesnt happen at the Ralph. I'd rather see the crowd singing than somebody with a mic. WOW! Oilers scored at 2:31 of the 1st. Did you also hear how loudly they cheered for the US Anthem as well. Recall that back during the World Juniors I told you that the jerk fans in Vancouver were nothing but a bunch of bunny-kissing tree-huggers. On the CBC feed North Dakota got a plug for producing Matt Greene and he got honorable mention from Ron MacLean for his play this evening. Quote

On the CBC feed North Dakota got a plug for producing Matt Greene and he got honorable mention from Ron MacLean for his play this evening. I did notice the cheering for the US Anthem, and the singing along. The booing incident also happened not very long ago in San Jose, too, but with the US booing the O Canada. Pretty pathetic, no matter what side of the border you are on. Greene and Commie both got mentions from the announcers. It's great to hear, and as great to see that they are both playing good, and that others recognize that as well. Quote
Siouxman Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 With Greene and Commodore playing, I really don't care who wins. I had really soured on NHL hockey over the years, with how boring it had become. Too many people who couldn't skate playing clutch and grab hockey. With the rule changes made after the lockout, NHL hockey has changed to become an interesting and exciting game. I certainly hope that the WCHA management and refs are taking note. Yes, there was a blown call on the Oilers (a play near the net called by the center ice official), but overall I have been impressed with the new NHL product and the officiating. Still a very physical game, but also entertaining and without the clutch and grab. The officials have made note of both Commodore and Greene as Fighting Sioux products, but not together in the same breath. It would be great if they did that. Might help with recruiting defensemen in the future. Quote

I know it's just my own arrogance that thinks this but I think the young defensemen waiting in the wings are very aware that one of UND's 'pride on ice' is on each of the Stanley Cup championship teams. But I do love it being said on 'international television'. Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Game 4 about to begin. National Anthems coming up next. Should be cool to watch again, as it was Saturday. Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 I love that janitor/stickboy (something like that), who has Down's Syndrome, when he sings "Oh Canada." Sings with full emotion. Have to love it! Edit: The guys name is Joey Moss. I love that guy! Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Edmonton takes a 1-0 lead at the 8:40 mark of the 1st period. Quote

Edit: The guys name is Joey Moss. I love that guy! From the bit they did one him after the 1st period on Sat night, he is really loved by the entire team. Each year, to show the rookies how important of a guy he is to the team, they hold a game and call it the "Joey Moss Cup". When Gretzy's number was retired, he had Joey as part of the ceremony. It was a very touching and emotional clip. I'd like to talk to Matt Greene to see how it is in the locker room with him. Quote
Sioux-cia Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Here's a nice article about Joey who is the Locker Room Attendant. (Had it wrong the first time.) http://www.cp.org/premium/ONLINE/member/Sp...8/s012825A.html Found the following on another forum http://chat.mapleleafs.com/forums/lofivers...php/t24902.html Joey Moss is the brother of Vicki Moss, who was Wayne Gretzky's gf in Edmonton from about 1980-87 (approx). Joey is mentally handicapped (or whatever the politically correct word is - I think it's downs syndrome, but not 100% sure) - he started working in the Oilers dressing room in the early 80's - he's one of the longest standing members of the "team" He's quite the inspiration to the Oilers. He's probably one of the best known Edmontonians in Edmonton, although people in Edmonton probably wouldn't name him if they had to make a list of well known Edmontonians. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted June 13, 2006 Author Posted June 13, 2006 HOLY SH$#, NOW THIS IS SOME BAD AZZ HOCKEY!! Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Here's a nice article about Joey who is the Equipment manager. http://www.cp.org/premium/ONLINE/member/Sp...8/s012825A.html Found the following on another forum http://chat.mapleleafs.com/forums/lofivers...php/t24902.html Great articles. Thanks for posting them. I work with 3 boys with Down's Syndrome during the school year, and they are just wonderful kids to work with. Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 HOLY SH$#, NOW THIS IS SOME BAD AZZ HOCKEY!! And it's only the end of the 1st period! Have to love this game! Quote

Sioux-cia Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Holy Friggin' Cross!!! The speed, the passing, the goalies!!!! Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Don Cherry interviewed five Prospects tonight on Coaches Corner and in order they were Staal, Toews, Brassard, the one move wonder and Johnson. Once again Toews gave a great interview while one move seemed to struggle to push out words. I was waiting for him to conclude by saying "That's all folks". Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Have to love the praise that Commodore and Greene are getting in the finals. About time the rest of the world is let in on what we already knew. Quote
