I think it woulda been better if my buddy staged a photo of him "tossing" a piece of weightlifting equipment.

Get Frattin in there somewhere with a lawnmower as well.

A fellow FFLer in my longtime league, who works at a local private school in the metro area posted this on our FFL board. It's a classic, IMO:

That's awesome

Nice!
That guy isn't going to make Finley send him an apology letter, is he?

Hak's already got the form letter printed and will probably drop it in the mail tomorrow after signing Joe's name.

So, the Finley kid (former Fighting Sioux, current minor leaguer for the Capitals) is in our weight room working out today while his dad is in the gym coaching the kids. I knew he was coming in over our Christmas break because he is on IR and wanted a place to work out for a few weeks. His dad coaches here.
Long story longer, I knew he was in there so I walked over there and peeked in. He saw me and asked if he was OK being in there and I said, "oh yeah man, I knew you were coming....just dont throw any furniture at me would ya?"

He smiled real big and said, no worries man.

Don't end up with like 20+ like me.

If that ever happened (and combined with my bike-buying), I'm pretty sure I'd be signing my divorce papers shortly thereafter...

My first game-worn jersey has arrived!

Unfortunately I can't open it until Xmas, so it's just sitting under the tree.

Re: UND 2009-2010 Season Thread - The Lawnmower and Cookie tossing edition!

Although I kind of figured that the WJC team would be quite good considering they are generally somewhat representative of an all-star team of college hockey

I think most strong WJC teams would handily beat strong college/MJ teams on a regular basis. They are just too talented. The college/MJ teams may have the age/strength/experience advantage, but the talent advantage for the WJC teams is just too high to overcome. The score last night was 4-2 with UND outshooting the USA, but give the USA team another couple weeks of practice together, and put them in a non-exhibition format, and I think that score would get more lopsided.

Re: UND 2009-2010 Season Thread - The Lawnmower and Cookie tossing edition!

I don't think the WJC team plays NCAA opponents too often, unlike the U18 team. They're only put together for the WJC tourney, so I doubt there is much time for them to have exhibition games. That said, UND did play the WJC team in 04 as well, lost 3-0. Not sure if they've played other NCAA teams or not though...

I figured as much. I knew about the U18 team. At first that's who I thought the sioux lost to but it occurred to me that U20 != U18 when I reread the scoreboard.

Interesting though. Although I kind of figured that the WJC team would be quite good considering they are generally somewhat representative of an all-star team of college hockey

I'm curious (and lazy) as to how well the juniors have done against college teams in the past. Anyone have any insight into this?
