Parise is better than Briggs
Here is an interesting post that I found on Rube Chat Post and it its a gem.

Here are Parise's and Briggs' numbers last year. If Praise is a suckhole the give me an honest opinion on Briggs. He was not in the top 20 goalies in the nation I know that. Remember that goal against HC where he stood there looking up while the puck was at his feet? That is your goaltender for next year. If he can't get it together it could be the same happy ending again.

Commodore a Side Show
Yesterday on PA and Dubay, Former Golden Gopher 3rd Liner and Miracle Star Nate Miller reffered to Former Sioux Mike Commodore as a Side show. It was also added by Jeff Dubay that he was a clown's nose away from being Bozo.

  1. I think it's better to be a side show in the NHL finals than a no-show like all the Gophers in the NHL.

    No Charges Against Mankato Hockey Players
    (AP) Mankato, Minn. No charges will be filed against several college hockey players who were part of an investigation into an alleged sexual assault, Mankato police said Wednesday.

    Police Cmdr. Jeremy Clifton said investigators were closing the case and would not be presenting evidence to prosecutors.

    "The allegation of sexual assault cannot be substantiated at this time," he said in a prepared statement. "Without further information, this investigation will become an inactive case file."

    The allegations of an assault in February lead Minnesota State, Mankato, to hold the four players out of the final games of the season.

    According to a search warrant affidavit filed in Blue Earth County, a woman said a hockey player took her and another woman to the player's house Feb. 21. After smoking marijuana and a pipe filled with a white substance, the woman said she began to drift out of consciousness when she felt an object being used to sexually assault her.

    The investigation came amid a widely publicized case at Duke University involving the lacrosse team. An exotic dancer who had been hired to perform at a March 13 team party told police she was raped by three team members at an off-campus house.

    Following the dancer's allegations, grand juries indicted three Duke players on charges of rape, kidnapping and sexual assault. Defense attorneys and the players have strongly proclaimed the players' innocence.

    In Mankato, the case involving the hockey players generated less media attention, but was on the minds of many students.

    University spokesman Michael Cooper said, "We are pleased that police have done their investigation and have come to a conclusion."

    Two of the suspended players were seniors. Cooper didn't know when, or if, the two players with remaining eligibility would be allowed play with the team again.
