with the recent devastating injuries in MN HS hockey

and penalty changes for boarding

what are your opinions for the upcoming film "GOON"

with the devastating injuries in MN high school hockey

what is your opinion about the soon to be released film "GOON"

glorifying hockey fighting

what is your reaction

are you for Boogie going to the Rangers

or would you have prefered to see him stay

MN is losing the enforcer

but should be able to get better scoring oportunities

Minnesota has already giving up Voros and Gaborick

what are your views now that you have Derek Boogaard

just aquired as of July 1

given he hasn't scored in 222 games

but has been a fan favorite for years in MN

how many games do you attend in a season WITHOUT attending a pro game ??

how short of a time span ??

the local youth program just ended it's season and i've been to

81 games in 119 days

i might see another game or two at the MN state highschool hockey tournament

does anybody else keep track ??

counting any game you go to

youth hockey

high school

junior leagues

college

minor leagues

pros

all games in one season

personally i've been to 62 games in the last 93 days

and the season isn't done yet

SERIOUS QUESTION

i have always wondered why are the Canadiens called the Habs ??

is it a regional thing ?

does it go back to Original 6 ?

i'm a fan of all hockey and watch the NHL when not at youth games

would just like to know where the term came from

so the kids have a unique trivia quiz at practice

at SCSU -- St Cloud State University in St Cloud MN

and MSU -- Minnesota Stae University in Mankato MN

both U's have a singalong using the same song

SWEET CAROLINE by Neil Diamond

it makes the evening fun but is still wierd

do any other arenas have any singalongs ??

what is your favorite logo design on a jersey or sweater

that is NOT NHL

any other league domestic or european or anywhere

pro / semi pro / jr's / high school

my picks

AHL -- Houston Aeros 2001-2002 / 2008-2009

DEI -- Hamburg Freezers 2008-2009

WHA -- Minnesota Fighting Saints 1972-1973 angel

what are your favorite song with a one word title

some of mine

TUSH -- ZZ Top

LEGS -- ZZ Top

MONEY -- Pink Floyd

CREEP -- Radiohead

DEVOUR -- Shinedown

with the Wild signing Martin Havlat and now Petr Sykora

have their scoring chances doubled since Gaborik is gone ?

is it ok to have headers running straight up through hood ?

has anyone seen this setup at your track ?

the style used on mud bog trucks / pulling tractors / demo cars

the NHRA rulebook states away from driver and fuel system

and to rear of car

but isn't clear about straight up

this is for eighth mile

the track tech guy not sure either

who is the best tag-team

in all pro wrestling

current or retired

which college do you think produces the most talent

in forwards , D's , net minders

not neccesarily NHL

any era current or disbanded

any league domestic or foreign

even tho i'm a Wild fan i like the look of the

HAMBURG FREEZERS of the DEL league in Germany

also the HOUSTON AEROS -- AHL
