Good News, Bad News

The good news is the Goof's take the Ice-Breaker tourney with wins over RPI and Michigan. It should be MichAGAIN. Man, they have their number lately.

Friday's tilt pitted them against RPI. It was not a pretty two periods of hockey for the POI. RPI took it to them in every respect. They built a solid 3 goal lead through tough play and desire. Finally, the Goof's awoke from their slumber and at the end of the second period scored and the dominated the play until the horn.

Third period was ALL Minny. The one thing that really pissed me off was that 5 minute major handed out. They are back to calling these weak penalties if the guy turns at the last minute.

4-3 final and off to face MichAGAIN.

This was a much more entertaining game to watch. Back and forth trading blows. It ended on a goal at 5:27 by Grand Rapids star Patrick White.

Now the UGLY. 2 games into the season we lose Ryan Stoa to a knee injury. There are not a lot of specifics on the injury and I did not see it. Man I feel bad for him. He looked really strong and was set to be a leader.

Off to CC for conference opener. More on that later...

*****SIGH*****

Beat the traffic! Man, what a downer of a game. 5-3 JBSU sweeps the Goof's. Talk about losing your steam heading into the playoffs.

Did anybody else notice Goepfart's studdering? Two night in a row on the same statement. "Wewewewewewewewe......." (cluck to the head) "played well..." LOL!

Do you think his major is Communication? We know it's not engineering!

Huck The Fuskies. Times 2. DaUppers hit Murderapolis next week. Oh no, The DQ cup is slipping away. Their in, who cares!

On (to) Wisconsin!

NEXT!

Not what you call a typical win, but a win none the less! Not only a win, but a PREDICTED sweep of "whiners" Land Cows. Not typical because both teams looked tired and uninspired. I will say that the Jr. College carried most of the play. The were beating people to the puck and generally out working the POI. But in the end, talent (read:puck luck)was the cure. Enough about them.

Now for a real challenge. The BADgers in MadTown. I watched both games against DU. I was really impressed by DU but that is two weekends away. Back to TNSoH. They continue to under achieve in my opinion. Friday they were lazy and missed a few chances. Saturday they looked like last years team and Elliot(t) looked stellar. This will be the weekend the streak stops. I know,I know but hey the 94E boyz will be jacked up for this one. Rest is in order this week I guess for tDons troops. Light practice week to get their legs back.

The packaging of the house is about 85% done. Thursday is pre-signing and final walk through @ 2908. LB will be heading to Willmar for the weekend. He's out of our hair during the move. Friday is closing at 10 and 12 respectively. Get the truck and start hauling shit over. Boat, sleds and car Friday night. Along with emptying the storage locker and dropping it off. We met the NEW owners of our house last night. Very nice young couple that both work at Mystic. Their lil guy is cute as a bug! I hope they enjoy my house. Boy, hard to believe that after 40 years our family will not reside in that house. Not sure how I'm going to feel come Sunday when I walk out of there for the last time?

Great 8!

Talent overcomes all. With 8 forwards the Goof's CRUSH the Landcows. 28 pct. of the POI's offense is somewhere over the ocean on it's way home and they still manage to whoop ass. GRIT!

Is this squad for real? What effort by the Goof's. Or lack there of by Jutting's Rejects. They came out in the first 5 and started hitting and setting the tempo. Tempo means zip if the skill is not there.

What would Morin be doing if he donned the M? He'll never know! What a waste of talent.

5 Hole BABY!!!! Get the brooms out!

PWNED!

Well so much for a challenge. Michigan was pasted tonight. They were in the game for about 10 total minutes tonight. 8-2 final with 3 shorties and 52, yes 52 SHOTS on goal.
This follows a hard fought battle with Michigan St. The Goof's prevailed 5-4 on Friday night. They looked a little out of it. State was not noted for a lot of scoring.
It's great sweeping TNSoH but one savors a Michigan ASS WHOOPIN!

Next up for the Goof's, Minnesota's Jr. College. Da Mavs. The whiner Jutting brings his bottom feeders to Mecca and they head to....Ah Montiv...ahhhhh....Mason City....Nah Medford that's it.

In other news, The Flickertails split with a weak CC team and St.Clown sweeps fUMD. The WCHA take 3 of 4 from the CCHA.
