Another Season...

Well we are 4 games into the 08-09 WCHA season. A sweep over JBSU and 3 out of 4 against the Red Menace. Have they been tested? YUP. Have they delivered. YUP. Will it continue?
With all the frosh's on the team, time will tell.

This weekend brings us to St.Paul and the "charity hockey showcase". It is so named by this rube because of the pissing and moaning by those who root for the landcows.

Do you understand this is a financial windfall for your JR college? What is the capacity of your arena? Do the math.

On to northdacanada. Hummmmm... when will the fire Hakstol posts start over at itsalltherefsfault.com show up? Seeing what BU did to Red's boy's, the 5-1 drubbing the SUE took may be a sign of HockeyLeasts resurgence.
UNH has me re-thinking that after watching them last Sunday.

MY WTF moment:

WTF happened to CSTV? Yeah I know what happened, but WHY? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Time for the "Big Ten" Hockey Conference!!!!
MSU, ND, tUMD and JBSU could round out the CHA nicely.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drop the PUCK!!!

And to think I passed up tickets to the games... What a guy won't do to get his garage finished off? Now you know why they make Polllac....Polock....ehhhh...you know what I mean.

Give the title to Suzie! They are Number 1

Just stuff

Man I though for sure I'd get an "R"!

In other exciting news, The MotoQ is a fantastic device. I don't need no stinking 600 dollar iPhoney!

I wonder if they sell iWipes to keep the touch sceen clean?

Kyle (4Head) from GPL has started himself a nice online shop. He mostly caters to Goof/MN hockey fans. This is the gent who organized the last jersey sale on GPL. GPL has since banned the jersey sale/promotions. So 4Head has started this site.


www.vintageminnesotahockey.com











Check it out. He has a nice selection of MN hockey jerseys. He even has a jersey from my high school!

Having bought jersey's from him I can say that they are of the finest quality and workmanship. They are worth every penny if you consider your self a "rube"

Good luck Kyle.

Oh yeah, LESS THEN 80 DAYS UNTIL...THE PUCK DROPS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DouchePost of the Year!

I do not usually react to blog posts with posts here. Usually. I must point this one out though. The author is a self proclaimed fan of "UAA hockey, SOCCER?, Chicks? and games!"

Argggg... this is to easy. I can't even write without laughing!

"You know how I know you're gay..."

I have come to find the most UAA fans are fairly knowledgeable when it comes to NC$$ hockey. He just blew it for them.

Just have a read. You're smart, you can form your own opinion.


Meanwhile in StPaul, in the State of the WCHA Final Five (Hockey), tElliott and the BADgers shut out Tech 4-zip. To bad the fans there still have to listen to the Tech band and their between whistle drone of a song. If you know the band you know the song. Listen for it on FSN tonight.

I only caught the first period of the game but sconi pretty much shut them down that period so most of the game must have been the same way!

0-1 on the picks. Who cares! Better DEAD then RED! Bring on bucky. It should be a helluva game. Becky has everything to play for. They need to win out to make it into the dance. The Goof's have to prove they can play with intensity for 60 minutes. One comment from a player in the FishWrapper West is as follows ""We can't lose the rest of the season; that's our motto right now" Nothing like stating the obvious! I think they are, considering last years meltdown and this years coasting into the Final Five. Yes coasting.

Better bring it boys because BECKY will be fired up for sure.

How's the weather up there in UAA land? I heard the off season for UAA players is a sure sign of spring. Early again this year I see. Maybe Punxsutawney Phil should be replaced with Anchorage Al?




WhatCha think? If he comes out of his igloo and sees his favorite SeaDog's still playing we get six more weeks of hockey?

Let's stick with Phil! We'd never get six more weeks with Al.

Off to Mighty Tigger's House

The two worst hairdo's in college hockey go "head to head" this weekend. The Goof's take a 4 point WCHA lead to the Rockies and hope to come home with that lead. Earlier in the year the Goof's steamrolled CC at Mecca. CC sits 4th in the conference and will be playing to stay there. The will also have a chip on their shoulders from way back in October.

A POI sweep would really hurt CC and push them closer to that thang we call the bubble. A CC sweep would help their Pairwise rank a LOT!

The U is 4-4 in their last 8. CC is 3-3-2. (excludes the U18 game) CC has faced fUMD, Tech, BADgers and StClown.

The U has faced BADgers, DU, Flickertails and Alaska St. Let's hope the week off gave them a rest from competition and that tDon worked their ASSES off in practice for this important series (actually next two series)

POI get a few injured players back and should be at full bench strength this weekend. The netminders need to play HUGE this weekend and steal one. Friday night will tell the tale of the next few weeks. Can they get back to their solid D play and scoring punch? Let's practice on CC this weekend. Bobby's boys are next and will be ready.

POI gets 3 of 4 this weekend.

I hate rooting for TNSoH but this weekend we need the BADgers to show up for once and play like the defending champion. I doubt it will happen. St.Clown just has the talent over Bucky. 2-2 Friday, 4-1 Saturday. St.Clown takes 3 of 4.

DU is off this weekend and finishes with NorthDakanada and CC. Speaking of ND. They host the bottom feeders we call fUMD. Suzie sweeps and their fans start to believe. NO 8, NO 8 NO 8!

RANT ON!
In other "tribal" news, the Red Lake band has pulled another "get off my land whitey". Not only have the tax payers of this state revived a lake that they OVER FISHED TO EXTINCTION. Began commercial fishing AGAIN. Now they decided that snowmobiler's can not use the trails that cut across their land and have closed nearly 10 miles of trails in and around Lake of the Woods and Red Lake. Take that! Meanwhile all you fools continue to pump money into their casinos and eat walleye fingers! When will the people of this state wake up and make a stand? When our hairless Gov and legislature decide to. They tried once, and the war party came a runnin!

Boycott the casino's, stop eating walleye in the restaurants and for god sakes avoid Red Lake!

How about we ban tribal members from using our "sovereign" highways and roads? Hey how about a "Nation" tax? If a nation wants to use our roads, let'em pay! Lord knows they have enough money that the blue hairs pump into the casino's every day. Make you own way like the rest of us. Quit playing the race card. What happened to your people happened a LOOOOONNNGGGGGGG time ago! WE DO NOT OWE YOU A THING!

RANT OFF!

I'm Back!!!!

Thank GOD that's over! The coldest frickin weekend of the year we move. Well, at least we missed the snow.

It was rather uneventful. The only snafu was my brother backing over my NEW neighbors mailbox post and snapping it off at the base. His wife was pissed but when I introduced myself to him and explain what happened all he said was, "yeah it looked a little lower".

We went out today and spent some money. King size bed, headboard and foot board, china cabinet, wine rack/server and chair for LB's playroom. Half way to 6K budget! Living room left to furnish and hopefully some left over for couch in the "manhole".

The weekend was without any hockey. No practice for LB, no Goof's for Daddy. BADgers hand the POI their first loss since their first game at the X. Goof's salvage a split and take the series 3-1 this year. Looking ahead. DU heads to Mecca for "Hockey Day In Minnesota" My alma mater is in BAHHHDET for a game on the bay. The Goof's host DU, then the Wild are in action. Not to mention a bunch of specials on in between.

Wood will burn, Windsor will flow and the new home will be enjoyed. I'll be here all week.

The REAL State of Hockey

INCH has an interesting breakdown by state of D1 college talent and where they hail from. You can see the state by state breakdown here and the WCHA breakdown here.

The paint thinner nation which claims to be the "new state of hockey" has supplied the NCAA with a whopping 27 players. SUZIE'S flatland has supplied 8. Shit, Texas has supplied more the NoDak at 10. Even Illinois has pumped 59 in.

Minny is at 214 (That's 21% of all playing D1) followed by Michigan with 150. One surprise to me is New York with 103!
That's 4 times as many as the red menace and TEN times more then the "butchers" of the national anthem.

You may adopt these players and call them your own, but in fact they are not. Only ONE team in the nation can do that. Little something called pride.

Pride on Ice!
