Not too bad

What do you men not too bad? Are you chearing the injury of a Sioxu player bob?
Mar 4 2008, 2:20 pm by Walski fan, GF ND

Yep, if you can't beat on the ice, then intentionally injure them...Gergen is such a loser...
Mar 4 2008, 3:04 pm by Rex, Fargo

Neither injury was intetional!! This is what happens in hockey. UND has the man power to fill the vacant slots. Marto and LaPoint will have to grow up pretty fast and start skating like sophmores and Juniors. We will have defensive problems more than offensive.

I wouldn't say that either Genoway or Trupp were on the receiving end of an "intent to injure" play, but wasn't Trupp's broken bone the result of a slash, and Genoway's injury the result of a "checking from behind?" If this had been two players players that were injured like this from the hands of a Sioux player, there'd be all sorts of whiney ass posters complaining that the Sioux are a bunch of goons coached by a classless Neanderthal.
Mar 4 2008, 10:00 pm by Jeff, Fargo

This is too bad. In my opinion Genoway was a leader for the Sioux. Genoway was a huge part of the power play and worked as hard as anybody on the team, he brought his A game every night and was one of the best defensemen in the nation. Trupp was an exelent young player who seemed to be getting better and better every game.

I wasn't able to see the slash that hit Trupp too well, so I don't know how malicious it may/may not have been. However, Genoway was injured on a check from behind, and while I too don't think there was "intent to injure," it just goes to show that this infraction is very serious and absolutely must be dealt with accordingly. People get hurt in college hockey, but plays like a check from behind are needlessly dangerous. I applaud the referees for ejecting Gergen from the game, just as I did when Duncan was ejected a number of weeks ago (he really had no reason for the check he laid on that Gopher).
Mar 5 2008, 12:02 am by Chris Haake, Grand Forks ND

This is to bad for UND. I saw the hit on Genoway and I thought that it was a good call on the ref to toss Gergen out. I don't know what happened to him but all I saw was that he was slow to get up and then I realized that he wasn't in the game after that. He is one of the best defensemen in the league and I hope he recovers really soon. Does anybody know what his injuries are? The hot on Trupp I didn't see either but I heard that he has a fracture in his leg. Is this true? I am a Gopher fan, I know what it is like to loose a guy to a injury. Also Chris from Grand Forks, I think that you are a Great Sioux fan for the comment you made about Duncan getting tossed for that hit from behind when they played Minnesota. Thank You

Thanks, Mike. As to their specific injuries, the coaching staff isn't saying because it's still possible these guys will be back this season.
Mar 5 2008, 9:33 am by Chris Haake, Grand Forks ND

Not saying the hit was intentional, but when you (North Dakota) play in-your-face, try-to-intimidate your opponent...and...you are the biggest trash talking team in college hockey....well..."What goes around, comes around!".
Mar 5 2008, 11:13 am by Joe, Minneapolis

biggest trash talking team in college hockey? I didnt know they had statistics out for that sort of thing.
Mar 5 2008, 1:39 pm by siouxcrioux1

North Dakota is the deepest team in the country and I think these injuries, though unfortunate for the sioux, will help in the development of some of their less prominant players. I've seen very little in terms of production this year from F Brad Miller who last year was in double digits in both goals and assists.Trupps injury may have him elevate his game and get back to the production output he had last season. In terms of defense, chay was a solid two way defenseman and will be missed, but with the likes of Lapointe and Marto, I think the sioux should be able to fill the void. Both were splitting time, playing one game a series (pairing with Jones) and so they have the experience. It will be interesting to see how the loss of these players affects the Sioux down the stretch, although I fully expect to see them at the Frozen Four along with CC, UNH and MSU...(yep no overrated wolverines)

"biggest trash talking team in college hockey? I didnt know they had statistics out for that sort of thing. Mar 5 2008, 1:39 pm by siouxcrioux1" You're right, I guess I just extrapolated this from the number of bench clearing brawls they have started this year.
Mar 5 2008, 2:04 pm by Joe, Minneapolis

You know, Joe, we were having an adult conversation until you peeped up. If you actually have something to contribute, then be my guest; otherwise, please let the grown-ups talk.
Mar 5 2008, 3:28 pm by Chris Haake, Grand Forks ND

Joe sounds like an angry gopher fan....it is too bad the sioux seem to get the better of the golden gophers the last few years... and just as an fyi, trash talking is a part of hockey...
Mar 5 2008, 3:36 pm by chris porter, st louis

Joe in Minneapolis-How proud the other thousands of gopher fans must be that they can claim you as one of their own. What comes around goes around???????? Nobody likes to see any athlete get hurt. What's wrong with you?
Mar 5 2008, 8:44 pm by Jeff, Fargo

"Joe from Minneapolis" FOR HOBEY!!!
Mar 5 2008, 10:44 pm by Dan, Parker

Chris Porter, St. Louis? Is this by chance the same Chris Porter who won me 20 bucks from a rodent-fan friend? If so, how have you been? Are you playing down in in st.lou? Anyway, I owe you a drink or quite a few if you are ever back around the cities. And joe... How many bench clearing brawls did you extrapolate? I have plenty of gopher friends that wish that the gophers played with the intensity that the sioux are at right now... I feel for ya man, it isn't like the boys for the gophers can't play hockey, they just aren't. Joe for hobey vote 2
Mar 6 2008, 4:38 am by Tim, GFK/msp

Well...All you Sioux fans...You'd better hope Hakstol puts in a lot of penalty kill practice time before the playoffs...you will need it, especially without Genoway in the line-up.
Mar 6 2008, 8:05 am by Joe, Minneapolis

Is that the smartest thing you have to say, Joe? Well, it was off the mark: of late, the Sioux have taken fewer penalties than their opponants in almost every game.
Mar 6 2008, 9:19 am by Chris Haake, Grand Forks ND

Joe from Mpls and Donald Dunlap from Alaska would make such a cute couple. ;)

Mar 6 2008, 10:45 am by Chris Haake, Grand Forks ND

Joe sounds more like a troll from somewhere other than Mpls. How clever is that to pop off like he does and then identify himself from Mpls. Anyway, losing Genoway will be a big blow for the Sioux. I agree that the Sioux have a darn good team but they are a bit of a Jekyl-Hyde team. Even though they have gone unbeaten for awhile they haven't exactly dominated during that stretch. I see them as kind of vulnerable right now. Not real deep in the scoring department. If the Duncan-Oshie line is stopped they have trouble getting scoring on a consistent basis from their other lines. Added to that the loss of Genoway and Trupp and that means trouble in the play-offs for the Sioux. I saw a replay of the hit on Genoway and it seemed kind of borderline CFB. It looked as though Genoway was kind of turned sideways when the contact was made. Nevertheless it is too bad. Losing him will have a similar effect as when Goligoski got injured in the Final 5 a couple of years ago.
Mar 6 2008, 11:16 am by Eddie, Maple Grove

No, I think Chris Haake and I would make a good couple (I could help him with his spelling). Geez you Sioux fans are easy to rile, kind of like dangling a fat night crawler in front of a big-mouthed bass. But then again, I suppose if you didn't have Sioux hockey up there in Grand Forks, you wouldn't have anything.
Mar 6 2008, 11:47 am by Joe, Minneapolis

I'd be willing to bet that the Sioux average a lot less PIM in the playoffs than they do in the regular season. They can play disciplined hockey when/if needed. Thankfully the referees in the playoffs (not the F5 of course) will be calling for a cleaner game, and the boys won't be getting so frustrated with all the hooking and other blatant impediments that are seldom called in the WCHA. I love how when posters are called on their BS, they can only back it up by saying that they were only fishing. I'm calling Shenanigan's on you Joe.
Mar 6 2008, 2:27 pm by Jeff, Fargo

SHENANIGANS!!!
Mar 6 2008, 4:42 pm by Tim, GFK/msp

Not Fishing. Meant every word of all of my posts. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. The facts are that UND is the most penalized team in the WCHA by a whopping 162 minutes over the average WCHA team (about 31% more). They have also started at least 3 multi-player brawls I am aware of. That's a pattern, in my book. And I for one, hope this poses a problem for them in the postseason.
Mar 6 2008, 5:16 pm by Joe, Minneapolis

Joe you wound like an absolute moron with out any hockey knowledge. UND has had three fighting Majors period. Scrums do not equate to Brawls, you might want to get some new material. It also takes two to tango. For the People that thinks UND is a cheap team they have not had a major penalty since the DU series. SCSU and UND haves more 5 minute majors than UND the past 4 games. Just a point that you have over looked. Way to use that Minnesota education to the fullest.
Mar 6 2008, 8:32 pm by Walski fan, GF ND

Joe I'm not going to call you a moron, but could you site the three games that you are aware of that UND "started" the multi-player brawls. Then would you also please site the facts to what started these "multi-player" brawls. Looking back on the last two years of post season play the Fighting Sioux had 43 penalties called against them for a total of 97 PIM. Their opponents (I hope BC's bus gets lost on the way to the tourney this year) were called 46 times for 100 minutes. Pretty even. So like I mentioned earlier, the Sioux can play disciplined hockey when they need to.
Mar 6 2008, 9:35 pm by Jeff, Fargo

Jeff let me state it for your Joe is a Moron.
Mar 6 2008, 10:15 pm by V, GF ND

Jeff let me state it for your Joe is a Moron. Mar 6 2008, 10:15 pm by V, GF ND "Great repartee! How do you guys from North Dakota think them up so quick? Must be that Grand Forks education. When you lose an argument, you start with the ad hominem remarks. Oh, sorry, let me put that in layman's terms....you start name calling."
Mar 7 2008, 10:13 am by Joe, Minneapolis

Yes, Joe, it was immature, I'll agree. But at least he can count, I'll bet.
Mar 7 2008, 10:49 am by Chris Haake, Grand Forks ND

When I have seen the Sioux play this season I have seen a team that plays the game much the way they always have over the years. I do find some of the comments by Jeff-Fargo kind of funny though. The Sioux hook, hold,slash,elbow,cross check, impede and intefere just as much if not more than any of their opponents. Yet Jeff-Fargo complains that their star players are being held back because their opponents engage in the very same tactics that his team employs against their opponents. Sorry Jeff-Fargo, you can't have it both ways.
Mar 7 2008, 11:32 am by Eddie, Maple Grove

Quit whinning Sioux fans that's just hockey......
Mar 7 2008, 12:06 pm by Brian Fargo not a sioux fan

Brian, when you're defending inaccurate/stupid comments, it's not whining. Perhaps you need reading lessons.
Mar 7 2008, 12:14 pm by Chris Haake, Grand Forks ND

Eddie, I wasn't whining about all of the hooking, etc. that's going on, I was complaining the refs in the conference allow so much of it to go on. Of course the Sioux are going to try to get away with much of the same thing whenever they can, it would be stupid if they didn't.
Mar 7 2008, 6:20 pm by Jeff, Fargo

Jeff-Fargo, Wasn't really accusing you of whining per se. More like a lack of consistency in your argument. I'd just like to see the refs be consistent in the way they call the games. I have noticed however a fair amount of Sioux fans making the complaint about how Oshie and Duncan are victims of the very sort of things their team does on a routine basis. Really, what team in their right mind is going to let either one of those guys waltz around the rink unchallenged. It is the WCHA after all, not no check girls hockey.
Mar 8 2008, 11:44 am by Eddie, Maple Grove

Nice weekend Sioux...you totally dominated in achieving those two ties. See...there! I can count. Two ties. Two ties. Two ties equals two points and second place in the WCHA. Thought you guys were the best team in college hockey. What happened?
Mar 9 2008, 2:32 pm by Joe, Minneapolis

GO SIOUX we are going all the way this year baby... WOOOOOOOOOOOOO......... Sioux ya ya... ya Sioux Sioux!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mar 9 2008, 5:59 pm by Lauren, Winnipeg Canada

Meanwhile, back in Mpls, Ben Gordon and Co. continue their goalie-running antics -- then turtle during subsequent well-deserved beat downs. Nice touch coming BACK around a scrum to cheap shot a goaltender - again (Stalock, Fisher last season, Mannino this year, et al.)! If I am not mistaken, the scrums over the past few weeks have NOT ONCE involved the Fighting Sioux. Perhaps they have evolved into the Disciplined Playoff Sioux -- look at the calendar, JOE! SCSU, UofW, UMD, UMtc, MSU and MTU have each had scrums with fists flying (few or no major penalty calls, except checking from behind, but again, that calendar factor rears its ugly head). For the record, Gergen's hit on Genoway was prototypical CFB from my "limited" view a whopping 15 feet away!
Mar 10 2008, 12:29 am by Sioux_Me, Grand Forks

By the way, Mr. "I IS More Educated Than Thou" Joe in Mpls., while your Latin is okay (ad hominem, though not italicized, was spelled correctly), you might want to bone up on your French, eh? Oh, and buy a copy of "Hockey for Dummies," you've missed some of the finer points. BTW, the USHL would have beaten out of players that "lead with your hands held high" checking style and face wash/mask grabbing tendency exhibited by so many of your precious little Gophers. The REAL world of hockey will have some brutish reality for those lads -- if they survive this level.
Mar 10 2008, 12:35 am by Sioux_Me, Grand Forks

Does anyone know what happened to Oshie during Saturday's game against SCSU? I was listening to the game on the radio and the announcer said that OShie has not been on the ice for and while and that he was not even on the bench. Does anyone know?
Mar 10 2008, 6:05 am by

Dial it back girls. Unless pigs begin to fly or the earth spins in a different direction........the sioux will meet the tigers for the Broadmoor. Should be a great game but without Genoway it does make it interesting. The tigers can put some pucks in net and the sioux will have to play very physical yet disciplined defense to shake 'em up. I've been attending the Final Five for some years now and it's the best in college hockey. No other tourney comes close. Good luck to all.
Mar 10 2008, 1:12 pm by Joe, Mpls., MN

joe from mpls is not a true minnesotian NO one from mn would ever say "big mouth bass" the correct saying joe is LARGE MOUTH BASS looks like you dont know anything about fishing either you must be a spy from the cheese eaters state
Mar 11 2008, 2:27 pm by SARGE, MN

Joe, "Dial it back girls." Hmmm....methinks the kettle is resorting to racial slurs about the pot once his limited reasoning ability wanes. Ad hominem, Joe. Thou art hoist by your own pitard. Nice work, Sioux_me. And Sarge, you are right. No native Minnesotan refers to a largemouth bass as "Bigmouth". Joe must have been self-absorbed in that moment.
