http://ndgoon.blogspot.com/ - Dedicated to Fighting Sioux Hockey, The WCHA, College Hockey and NHL hockey.

Maybe WCHA commissioner Bruce McLeod and Greg Shepherd could learn a thing or two about the NHL disciplinary procedures. This is what happens when you take a player out you pay for it with a suspension. Like I said in an earlier post I thought the NHL should suspend Georges Laraque for this ...

Christmas comes early Pouliot traded to the Habs.
ndgoon.blogspot.com — RWD game me a heads up on this trade. I am excited about this trade because I have never been impressed with Benoit Pouliot, the kid was a waste of a uniform who put up little if any effort and I wondered why the Wild keep coming back with him in the lineup, now if the Wild can get rid of their ...

Marc Savard returns to the Bruins
Marc Savard returns to the Bruins
ndgoon.blogspot.com — This is very good news for the Boston Bruins who are starved for goal scoring. Also, it helps me because I get one of my fantasy hockey players back in my hockey pool. Of course sitting in 8th place in a 10 team league isn't all that impressive. Marc Savard, out of the lineup since Oct. 17 ... (more) Marc Savard returns to the Bruins

Georges Laraque's Knee On Knee hit on Niklas Kronwall
ndgoon.blogspot.com — I think this is a bush league hit and Georges Laraque should be suspended by the NHL for this dirty hit. I have have to be honest that I am not a fan of Georges Laraque and find his antics borish. That doesn't mean I don't like tough guys because I do. I just appreciate tough guys with honor ...

After futher review the refs still suck.
ndgoon.blogspot.com — Yesterday I wrote a column for the Illegal Curve on how the officiating in the WCHA is sub par and needed to be changed starting with the leadership at the top by failing to renew their contracts when they come up for renewal. I also said that the officials in the WCHA lacked credibility and ... (more) After futher review the refs still suck.

NCAA Round: After further review the refs suck.
ndgoon.blogspot.com — Here is this weeks Illegal Curve article . There has been a reoccurring theme this season in the WCHA and to a lesser extent the other leagues in college hockey, shoddy and inconsistent officiating. What is a penalty one period isn’t a penalty the next. While the NHL has figured out how to ... (more) NCAA Round: After further review the refs suck.

ndgoon.blogspot.com — Round one of the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s went to the Denver Pioneers. Since 2003-2004 UND has lost three 1-0 games to DU. Last time the Sioux lost 1-0 to the Pioneers (2007-2008 season) the Fighting Sioux rebounded the next night to win the game 3-1. Last night I was unimpressed with the Fighting ... (more) DU 1 - UND 0

The DU and UND series in a nut shell.
ndgoon.blogspot.com — I think this statement sums up the DU and UND rivalry pretty well. They don’t like us and they don’t like us. It's a good solid rivalry. Personally, I have gotten to the point where I like the DU and UND games more than the old traditional rivals of UND and UMN or UND and UW. But Pioneers ...

ndgoon.blogspot.com — Oh goody! I happened to come across this little gem today when I was reading the Minneapolis Red Star and Sickle. Hockey is a game of honor and to call Brian Schack an enforcer is a disservice to hockey enforcers everywhere. That label for Shack couldn’t be further from the truth. Most enforcers ...

This hit is going to cost James Neal who I predict is going to get a few days on the beach for this bush league hit on Derek Dorsett. The Colin Cambpell wheels of have ...
