Thursday Night Pre-Game Movie: Unaccompanied Minors. I'm a huge fan of the radio show This American Life and this film is based off of a TAL story. Plus, there are some very funny people in the movie.
Friday Afternoon Pre-Game Song: Tainted Love by Soft Cell. A lot of people call Soft Cell a one-hit wonder. But I think even that is a stretch, because before you get to the end of the song, you're already kind of a sick of it. They're more like a one-half hit wonder.
Games I'd Want to See If I Had Unlimited Funds:Blais v. Woog in the ancient, deadly art of bubble hockey. I hope Doug Woog remembers to keep his foot out of the bucket. Or in the bucket. Or in another bucket. Or whatever it is.
Controversial Play That a WCHA Official Will Probably Screw-Up: I've got no real complaints this week.
Cliche Arena Song of the Week: In Heaven There is No Beer. I'm fundamentally opposed to this song because I fully intend on out-living all of my friends.

As much as rodent fans might like the George Costanza Special, the fact remains that the dirty brown and gold goalies can't stop a beachball and the forwards can't put the puck in the net. Force of the North sweeps.
Here are my choices for pre game song for the Minnesota/NoDak series:"Big Guns" by Rory Gallagher. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJn34eOj9mg
Pre game song for any school with a dog as a mascot. "Wild Dogs" by Tommy Bolin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=991exg0Wt4k
Social D did a much better version of Tainted Love.
That Soft Cell song is sooo lame. I made it about 20 seconds in. Calling them a one hit wonder does a disservice to the real one hit wonder bands of the world.
They make Wham look like a motorcycle gang.
There's no way you'll outlive all of your friends. On average left handers die 9 years earlier than righties. I'll probably mourn your death though before I see if Dan Tormey is single...
I'm pretty sure Gyros come from the thigh of the lamb.
Wow, Is Derek Peltier a flop or what. Captain of the gophers and his play has been sub par at best. I believe he was on the ice for 3 of NoDak's 4 goals last night and was out of position on each. Gophs are going to have a long year as they are light on scoring and their defensive core is probably as weak as it ever been in recent history. Okposo WILL be a stud in the NHL though. I just hope he sticks around another year but my bet is he leaves...in only because of Don Lucia.
