The Sicatoka Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 It's amazing that the USA still outshot the Russians despite getting 10 less PP chances. That, and both Russian goals were ... on the power play. Quote
siouxhockeyfan11 Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 That, and both Russian goals were ... on the power play. Busch league communists! Quote
sagard Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Maybe the US boys were just simply the more aggressive team, kinda like that series down at Mariucci last year. Than penalty shot our goalie saved is a head scratcher. Quote
Runninwiththedogs Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 My god... some people here will defend ANYTHING. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 My god... some people here will defend ANYTHING. not sure if this is that serious of a thread overall who the hell knows what really happened Quote
HaksHomey Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Who is the douchiest mascot of all time? Personally, I think it is a toss up between Bucky, Goldy, and Thunder Quote
Goon Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Pass it along to the WCHA? What the heck are they going to do? Maybe instead of Bucky Badger, his name should be Baby Badger. Hey Brian let them pass it along nothing is going to happen... Quote
Goon Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Besides calling Watkins, "Max", he stated the the Wisco player has his head down and facing the boards. From the camera angle that I saw it from, it looks like he has his right side to the boards, not facing it at all. The more I watch that Video, the more I think it was the wrong call... Kaip was coasting before he took his 1 1/2 to 2 strides. Call me a homer but I have watched the tape 20 times, if anything the BADgers were looking for an excuse to goon it up. Quote

Call me a homer but I have watched the tape 20 times, if anything the BADgers were looking for an excuse to goon it up. EXACTLY Hit from the side (not the back) and he didn't fall into the boards. His head was down (if his head was up like it should be he could have braced himself) Kaip was gliding and took 2 strides before contact (which is within the rules) The FSN announcers on the #23 feed locally in GF made NO mention of it being a cheap/dirty hit Bucky is nothing more than a hostile and abusive mascot for picking on our litttle joe Quote
Diggler Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 My god... some people here will defend ANYTHING. I wouldn't defend you if that makes you feel any better. Quote
PCM Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 The FSN announcers on the #23 feed locally in GF made NO mention of it being a cheap/dirty hit The steps Kaip took are within the rules. But as I pointed out in a previous post, the distance travelled by the player delivering the check is also part of the charging rule. Quote
tp033 Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 I have to admit I don't know too much about where the situation happened, but why is the stupid mascot walking around where the Sioux players are after the game. You play with fire, your gonna get burned. You walk around the opposing team with hockey sticks after taunting them all weekend, you gonna get smacked. I'm not defending what he did but come on; survival of the fittest I say. Quote
Diggler Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Finley will be sending an apology letter to the kid who's legs he tried to break. The Badger fans really don't seem to like Big Joe. I'd hate to see what would happen if Joe beat the snot out of one of their Beloved Badgers. Quote
SiouxMeNow Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 i was going to reply to this thread but the doorbell just rang...hang on... DINGDONG! Quote

I'd hate to see what would happen if Joe beat the snot out of one of their Beloved Badgers. you don't suppose Bucky was trying to get under the UND players skin in the hallway do you? i've never seen a mascot taunt the opposing team. Gillooly, i mean, er, Joe should need to write out his apology 500 times on the blackboard! i will not slash an opponents mascot in the shins ever again i will not slash an opponents mascot in the shins ever again i will not slash an opponents mascot in the shins ever again i will not slash an opponents mascot in the shins ever again i will not slash an opponents mascot in the shins ever again i will not slash an opponents mascot in the shins ever again i will not slash an opponents mascot in the shins ever again i will not slash an opponents mascot in the shins ever again i will not slash an opponents mascot in the shins ever again i will not slash an opponents mascot in the shins ever again " " " " " " " " Quote
petey23 Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Maybe Eaves should look to see if the Badger can skate a regular shift. I mean he must be a tough guy to be able to perform the rest of the night with what sounds like must have been a broken leg or at the very least a deep bruise. That type of grit and determination is something that maybe the rest of the pansies from Wisconsin could feed off. Hell maybe they should slap the C on Bucky's chest. Quote
Goon Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 I think this one of those, how old are we, write an apology, jesus. How about no one was hurt and lets move on, I am sure the Mascot wasn't innocent in this one. What are they going to make the two coaches hug as well? Eaves is silly if he thinks that his team is innocent in this one. Quote
Bob in Wisconsin Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 I say next time, Hakstol shakes Eaves hand with one of those joy buzzers in his palm Quote
Bob in Wisconsin Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 No, its pretty funny. Just imagine how many people have wanted to smash that awkward mascot. There is nothing more stupid then the "classless" arguments in sports. The battle over who has class and who does not is annoying, and played out. Class speaks for itself and does not need to be defined by rubes on message boards. He hit a clown with a stick, and I am yet to see or hear about a medical report... Goldy, you're next you rat bastard Couldn't agree more, tired of the whole "class" arguement. This is hockey, not a Grey Poupon commercial. Quote
Goon Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 You can't make this stuff up... Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan. Those are where the goons come from. It should be no surprise that North Dakota has more players from these three provinces ( than any other team in college hockey. Hell, even North Dakota's goon coach is from Alberta. The game they teach up there is not consistent with the rules and principles of college hockey and college athletics in general. Books, you mean I have to read books in order to play hockey? Wait, you mean I can't butt-end their best player in the jaw? Wait, you mean I can't slash their mascot on the unprotected shin? That's not how they teach hockey up in Saskatoon. Rick Zaparniuk, Brad Cox, Howard Walker, Kevin Maxwell, Doug Smail, Dean Dachyshyn, Jim Archibald, Dave Donnelly, Ed Belfour, Lee Davidson, Garry Valk, Jason Herter, Russ Romaniuk, Dixon Ward, Teeder Wynne, Curtis Murphy, and Jason Ulmer are all past examples of players who had a lot of skill, but who also couldn't escape their goon tendencies. Over the past decade, UND has moved to more American-based players which has resulted in a lot of national success. This year, however, their roster is again chocked full of the kind of thugs that would make Gino Gasparini blush. Just for the Record isn't Finley from Mpls? Quote

stickboy1956 Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 You can't make this stuff up... Just for the Record isn't Finley from Mpls? He's a cake-eater from Edina!! Quote
ScottM Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Reading the comments in the paper and USCHO, it seems Wisco fans are turning into real pu$$ies. They used to be so much more fun. Quote
