I was back home in Ontario this weekned for a little moose hunting and some hockey....I watched 11 hockey games between thursday evening and Monday. This was all possible due to the fact that we own a DSS. We actually paid 1700$ for it and then the prices started to drop. They are a now about $400 and you get a free years programming---great deal...The 11 games consisted of college hockey, the IHL and the NHL...... I watched the North Dakoka / Minnesota series, until the 3rd period of the second game. My Mom informed me that Woog kissed Casey Hankinson's mask after his hat-trick----> I think I'm gonna Puke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In my opinion UND outplayed the gophers friday, but still lost.....and Saturday the Gophers played better and still won......but, UND is for real---> They are very good even though they got swept on the road....I was very impressed by the UND fore-check.....they used there speed to force steals and also made the gophers make a few bad passes whick led to turnovers....On the Other had--the gophers never impress me...They have a good program.....I just can't stomach them..........especially Woog!!!!! Nothing personal------>eh? ---Oh ya Jason Blake, I watched him play in the USHL---I think he played for Waterloo? Kraft played well for the gophers along with Crowely and Hankinson, but none of the highly touted gopher rookies impressed me. CCHA--- I watched Ferris state play Bowling Green.....I think it was Ferris State's first win ----They really impressed me holding off the Falcon pressure late in the game. I also watched the Leafs loose to Philly on SUnday night and seen Potvin and Hetall toss them.....I thought Potvin was going to getkilled....but it was a pretty even fight......I'm giving the victory to Potvin because he actually gave Hexy a big cut above his eye. Fox - Rocky Mountain sucks-----> DU/CCwent off the air after the first period in my veiwing area---maybe it was because of the storm......Too bad they don't show every DU friday home game like Prime did......leave to FOX to *uck up-hockey......first the glow puck, then proposing the NHL to play 4 quarters, now this........Maybe thats why Fox is at Best only 1/2 a network. NHL Providers...... Michigan Tech - Damian Rhodes, Tim Watters, Randy Mckay too name a few or maybe all of them...I 'm sure their is More....oh ya Jim Storm etc....I think maybe the Mickesh brothers father might have ---i know he played for Tech --not sure about the NHL.....oh ya ---one of the Esposito bros. did as well....I think it was Tony..... I think....although I'm not sure......the Peterbourough Petes boast the best for Quantity and Quality providing the NHL with players........I used to know a lot more but here's a few.....Mike RICCI, CHRIS PRONGER, I just forgot the other guys names ( I had 2 more).....oh we'll if anyone one can help me out----Oh ya Jamie Langenbrunner for Dallas ----and I think maybe Todd Harvey(not sure on the last one)..........and many more... ---after all the talk of lack of content on Hockey-L----I return home from a 4 day weekend with 193 message ( although I have info-l as well)... ---No I didn't get to shoot a Moose this weekend---i have a Calf tag. I actually seen a Cow moose....but looks like somebody already got her Calve's.... ****************************************************************************** JASON ROY * * CBC's UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA * * HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA [log in to unmask] * * "The Tradition Continues" GO 21 * GO TECH / GO CANADA * * Molson Canadian GO STARS * * GO BILL BERG *** *** The Tragically Hip ****************************************************************************** A loose puck doesn't know who's....BigGeR, StRoNger, or DrAfTed hIgheR.
