Moron of the week.

Here is my candidate for moron of the week, I have to say that it was unanimous as well. I have read a lot of stupid stuff posted on line this week but this one is just too good and has to passed along. If you suffering from a bad day this one will pick you up. This beauty was found in the comments section of the Puck Daddy article that covered the Frattin hit. Stick slap to Sean Leahy for using my video that I posted on line at YouTube. Last time I checked my up loaded video had gotten 8,000+ views.

Well What ever spewed - Tue Mar 16, 2010 5:42 pm EDT: I watched this series and I am familiar with the history these two clubs have. Frattin is no-talent little punk which explains why he is in such great company playing at North Dakota. Everything else aside, this was, at the very least, a blatantly obvious attempt to injure an opponent!! A one game suspension is a joke and a waste of time. This useless tool should be gone for the rest of the year, but instead he is allowed to continue his "training" toward becoming yet another hockey problem child. There is absolutely nothing wrong with playing your heart out for your team but when it becomes the "violent episode" that Frattin is, it is time for major suspensions and psycho-therapy and this cheap f-ck is in need of both.

What is really puzzling is that ND is a team that would just need to "skate their game" and they could easily beat Minnesota...this year, anyway. But instead they resort to these barbaric tactics...why?? I thinking that Hakstol told certain players between periods to do "some damage" and not worry about the "cost" because he felt it was the only way for this seemingly apparent group of underachievers to beat the sub-.500 Gophers. Newsflash Dave....you're at home at Ralph Engelstad Arenea in front of your own unruly, barbaric, and largely simplistic fans and this season, the Fighting Sioux are a better team than the Gophers! Yet...you STILL felt it necessary to provide one more lousy example to hockey youth all over the country. Apparently the Fighting Sioux are NOT the great team THEY think they are or they would have simply let their skating ability do the speaking for them. Well, I can only wish UMD success in beating the hell out of those snot-nosed little punks from Grand Forks, It's a damn shame that Frattin will be able to use his suspension to avoid the beatdown he so righteously deserves.

Kudos to Coach Lucia for keeping his team's composure and not buying into the "Sioux sorry sportsmanship", but I must confess that I was angry the seniors were not "turned loose" on any and all Sioux players that talk a great game but are just as easily beat down as any other talentless group of cheapshots.

To the deadbeat who posted that ND running over Gopher goaltender Alex Kangas was simply a case of the Fighting Sioux "charging the net" listen up little one: Whenever you skate around a defenseman, leave him sprawling on the ice behind you, drive hard to the net, put your shoulder down, and plant it squarely on the chin of the goaltender, you have just provided a textbook example of "running over the goaltender" which is still a penalty in most arenas but apparently not "the Ralph". You would have to be a Fighting Sioux fan to make the observation you did about that play and that makes you equally as pathetic as that punk Frattin, that "soul-selling" coach Hakstol, and those steaming dogpile officials on the ice at the time.

A brief message to Frattin: You have now earned a name for yourself, son. On the ice, from this day forward, I would skate with your head up and on a swivel at all times. You may also want to stay out of the corners and away from the goalie's crease.

I hope this week's play-in game has on-ice officials who are not afraid to call penalties...both ways...and that they remember that their responsibility rests in "officiating the game"...not deciding it. That "crew" at the UM-UND game was about as useless as tits on a boar hog! I certainly hope that they are done putting on stripes for the year...or, for good for that matter.

Good luck to UMD...go Bulldogs! [Puck Daddy Comments]
