Sioux Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 this really doesnt fit anywhere else, and i feel it is a topic that should be started. according to WCHA blog, 4 CC players were suspended for 2 weeks on some bogus charges imo.

AZSIOUX Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I'm just curious to see how you guys spin this to blame it on the Gophers and WCHA refs! well you brought it up so congrats, you are one yourself then you and many other gopher fans seem to have a nice interest in what a select group of sioux fans think complex?? pretty much every thread in GPL a gopher fan brings up this about all sioux fans, interesting. obsession anyone with select sioux fans thoughts? hmmm maybe.... funny s$t nice pic in your gpl sig, your new favorite goalie, she looks familiar. ill tell her you said hi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Whistler Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I'm just curious to see how you guys spin this to blame it on the Gophers and WCHA refs! LOL Well since you ask I'm not blaming it on the refs, but for all we know this is common practice for Gophers but the Minneapolis Media Monopoly (except channel 9 of course) and the WCHA league office covered it up. (Just kidding, I only said that for fun and FHG challenged us) But yes it is bogus political correctness gone wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redneksioux Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 sorry IMUS is a tool Surprised Rev. Al Sharpton isn't involved with this one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Surprised Rev. Al Sharpton isn't involved with this one yet. I am sure he will be before it is all said and done. I am thinking the Coaching staff took care by suspending his players before it spun out of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZSIOUX Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 http://www.gazette.com/articles/players_28...le_student.html The players were not allowed to practice or participate in any team activities for two weeks, including an exhibition against University of Calgary. They returned to practice Oct. 8, played in an exhibition against the U.S. under-18 team Oct. 12, and are expected to be in the lineup during this weekend's series against Minnesota.

redwing77 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 The "neat" thing about that punishment is that it isn't punishment at all. Ok, maybe missing practice might be punishment. But seriously, how much of a deterrent is not being allowed to play in an exhibition game? Stats don't count...game doesn't count. Therefore, I argue the suspension doesn't count. They just got a two week vacation that's all. Whoopdedoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiSioux Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Not exactly sure where to put this, so I guess this thread is as good as any WCHA team by team preview NORTH DAKOTA On the marquee: W Ryan Duncan is the reigning Hobey Baker Award winner and C T.J. Oshie, Duncan's linemate, is dynamic enough to win the Hobey this season. Strengths: A deep, veteran offense and defense in front of senior G Philippe Lamoureux. Concerns: The psychological barrier of getting over the hump. North Dakota has come home from the last three NCAA Frozen Four empty-handed. Bottom line: The Fighting Sioux are prohibitive favorites to win the national title. Wisconsin connection: Freshman D Derrick LaPoint is from Eau Claire.

siouxnami Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 NORTH DAKOTA Concerns: The psychological barrier of getting over the hump. North Dakota has come home from the last three NCAA Frozen Four empty-handed. This is the first time that I have seen this, but I have to agree this is the concern. They played very well in 2005, and not so well in 2006, and 2007 at the frozen four. A little less bad luck and 2005 could have been a win as they most certainly outplayed DU. Goaltending just didn't get it done in 2006. And 2007, could have been a different outcome minus 1 very poor call, (but give BC credit, they did play well enough to win). But given all of that, the playoffs are one and done so can they put it together for four straight games? I think the Sioux are the best team in college hockey, BUT will they be the best team in those 4 straight games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwing77 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I'm not worrying about the Frozen Four until we make the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
