        Hey Nathan How can you call Vig a dirty player, what did he do to
deserve the vicious hit he took in the corner, I watch the tape and
reviewed the hit it is a cowards play, if you can't win by being legal,
that player is a coward. Check the Sioux the last few years they are one
of the least penalized teams in the WCHA, I fail to see the cheapness.

        Yeah I remember Brad Goulet the player that hasn't barely touched
the ice this year, the player that a week later laided a vicious boarding
hit on someone else. Cheap, the same guy that skated past our bench and
laughed. That is Busch league in my book. Sure I would have sent them
over the boards too. Hockey is a game of honor and has no room for cowards.
