To be fair he's a senior academically.

Come on, what man hasn't urinated in public after bar close?

At least he didn't get put in a cop car only to be let out by a team mate while the cops weren't looking.

Also good that he didn't damage property (Urinating in an elevator, throwing lawn mowers, etc.)

But I don't see any need to mess with the top line.

The names on the top line shouldn't be etched in stone. I've been around longer than 99% of you and I've seen seasons where the top line returned intact and the members of said line were a little too comfortable.

Nothing is ever for sure; however, those three guys don't need a lot of motivation and the rest of this team is real deep. With the defensive firepower they're going to have on the ice, this will be old time Gopher hockey with wave after wave of offense. Could be a team that puts up 40+ shots on most nights.

It happens. We've had a decent run of good behavior, I don't want to come off as "halo-wearing" like a certain team. These are college kids who do some dumb things and you just hope that this is the worst of it.

I don't disagree. But I do think they should start off the season and see if they maintain what they did last year before tinkering with anything.

1. The wording in that little write-up is priceless. :lol:

At least this wasn't during the season. You can only assume that shenanigans like this happen in the off season at every school. During the season I would hope he's a little more focused on hockey.

That article was a fun read though :lol:

Those Finns just can't hold their liquor.

by **sunbone** » Fri 7/27/12 9:38 am

Sounds like Haula might want to think about cutting back on the sauce. You have to be pretty damn hammered to take a leak right in the street.

by **5 O.T.** » Fri 7/27/12 10:43 am

Scratch Haula off the list of prospective alternate captains.

2-4 game suspension would be in order too.

What an idiot. :ddown:

by **Handyman** » Fri 7/27/12 10:48 am

I will raise my hand that I never urinated in the street...that is ridiculous.

And sorry, but all of you who are laughing this up and excusing this would be destroying a UND player who did the same. It makes you look like hypocits at best and halo wearing player worshipers at worst.

And yes I know he is just a "kid" and they do stupid things and that is all fine and good until you get caught. He has been around long enough to know he is in the public eye and stuff like this never looks good.

by **Slap Shot** » Fri 7/27/12 11:18 am

I never railed on Oshie for the elevator bit. Yes, this is stupid and slightly embarrasing but go easy with the hyperbole.

I am sorry...did I say "Slap Shot" anywhere in my post? Quite the ego you got there Tonka Boy

by **boosh** » Fri 7/27/12 11:52 am

Does anyone really care if Haula pissed outside a bar after close? 99% of the male population has done that. It hurts no one and is perfectly normal behavior for someone at that age. The fact this made news is beyond me.

by **trixR4kids** » Fri 7/27/12 11:55 am

Oshie's an idiot, Haula is too.

Now as long as we don't have players throwing lawnmowers and property into the street holding up traffic for hours we're still doing better than that other team.

Handyman wrote:I am sorry...did I say "Slap Shot" anywhere in my post? Quite the ego you got there Tonka Boy

No, but I had posted a light response so just wanted to be sure. :mrgreen:

That said I do agree it was a stupid thing to do, he should probably sit a game or two but I wouldn't necessarily yank a letter from his sweater because of it. Maybe remove it (assuming he's in line for one) for a few games like Hak did with spazboy?

by **theskillz** » Fri 7/27/12 12:41 pm

Red Berenson was caught doing this back in 1994 I believe.

The ol public urination thing, eh.. now if it were taking a dump in public...

(and yes, it's stupid that he did this, but I'm still gonna laugh about it)

Better in the gutter then in an elevator. At least Haula was smart enough to wait until he was outside....

by **Armadillo** » Fri 7/27/12 1:19 pm

Oh, for crying out loud...stripping captaincy? Suspensions? For the love of Christ, people, get a friggin' grip. Make him run an extra lap around Mariucci w/stairs. That'll fix it.

I ripped Oshie plenty for the elevator thing...BECAUSE HE WAS A SIOUX PLAYER. I never REALLY thought he was some worthless scumbag who should be locked away for his crimes against humanity. IT WAS FUNNY. North Dakota fans will have some fun with this, and fair play to them. Have any of you ever been to a tailgate? Fair amount of public urination going on at those. Both genders, too.

I'm not trying to crucify the kid but it sounded like he just whipped it out in the street and peed, right in front of a crowd of people. Of course all of us have probably ducked into an alley or behind a tree or something. But I never did something like that. Not the end of the world but you have to be a little concerned when a kid is so drunk he does something that stupid.

Having thought about it some more, I suspect there's a uniquely Minnesotan phenomena at work here. Let me explain:

Much like how local sports guys strive so hard to prove they're not homers that they end up despising all of the local teams, some here (you know who you are, Dwight) strive so hard to prove that they're not halo-wearers like those horrid Whioux fans, that they way overshoot the mark and end up calling for Haula's head to be placed on a pike in the Thames River.

We can't help it; the Minnesota-produced hair shirts are just EVER so scratchy.

Pretty much. You'd have to be completely hammered to even think of doing that let alone actually going through with it. If he goes and pees in a bu$h (lol censors) and doesn't get caught there's no story.

Thanks for the amateur psychoanalysis but I'm pretty sure I just think it is stupid to get so drunk that you pull out your junk and piss in front of a crowd of people. Maybe people in other parts of the country think that is perfectly acceptable.

by **WestCoastGopherGuy** » Fri 7/27/12 2:03 pm

move along people, nothing to see here.

if you think these kids only play hockey just because the only time we see them is when they are playing hockey, got to think again. these kids enjoy the college life, and do stupid things, as they should. accept that because the college life is a big part of what keeps them coming back rather than going to the CHL/AHL.

Not sure if getting really drunk is actually a prerequisite for this, I have some buddies that have done this with a slight buzz to sober. I think it's a non-story but that's me.

God, you're pissy today. HA HA SEE WHAT I DID THERE?!?!? :mrgreen:

Seriously, I'm not saying it was a shining example of IQ on display that night, but as a native Minnesotan who has lived in other parts of the country, I can say with full confidence that we're an overly sensitive lot who are deeply convinced of our own intelligence and humility. Hence the "WE'RE SO NOT LIKE SIOUX FANS, KILL HIM!!!" sentiment.

I guess I'm not sure why you were quoting me. I never said he should lose a letter or get suspended over it. I just think it is a concern. If I was Lucia I would have some form of punishment for him for embarrassing the team. And I would also sit down and have a chat with him about cutting back on the alcohol. Hope that isn't too Minnesotan of me.

I think it was because you were the most recent one to comment, honestly. Sometimes I use quotes to keep a conversation going a certain direction, not necessarily to rebut. Maybe I should be more judicious about that.

Your ideas about what to say/do to Haula certainly aren't "too Minnesotan," but your last sentence sure as heck is.

You never really know these days, do you. For the record, I think Haula should spend some time in jail for being so foolish. He then should be named captain for his exemplary behavior while incarcerated.

Then again, I guess I will just go with Sunbone's solution. It seems rational for either Minnesotans or Fins - or both.

Get off your high horse, Dan. There is not much you can do when you have to take a leak and there is no available restroom. Peeing outside is not that big of a deal. I don't disagree with having law or ordinance against it or too

How about this:

For a week or two, Haula must take every leak in a designated pisser on campus, let's say at the Bierman complex. EVERY whiz, even if he wakes up at 2 am and has to pee like a racehorse, he has to put on some clothes and make his way to the designated urinal. Every violation adds a day to the punishment.

I think that would really friggin' suck.

I was not talking about Haula's instance. I was talking about Handy's general comment about public urination. Haula should have found a better spot. Handy should dismount the horse.

And if saying people are idiots who pee in the street (which is what I was talking about) puts me on a high horse that makes me happy. I would not want to walk on the streets where people have peed so the horse is quite helpful

Sorry. On my iPhone riding in the car. For some reason I didn't see your handle(r). :oops:

I think I had pshyc's post in mind, but quoted yours.

I ran into Haula at Tony's Diner at about 2 or 3 AM a couple Fridays ago and he didn't seem to be too far away from pissing in the streets that night either. We had a conversation that I'm sure he would not remember. He seems to be having a fun summer. :biggrin2:

Roberto Luongo hasn't been traded: The Florida Panthers are the best fit for the Vancouver Canucks goalie, but GM Dale Tallon won't give up prized prospect Nick Bjugstad to land him.

Florida already has pretty solid goaltending. Not sure I'd give up NHL ready prospects for Luongo either.

In other off-season news, Campus Pizza is going to have Fulton "Sweet Child of Vine" on tap soon...so, yeah...we got that going for us.

Friday night pre-game pie at Campus just got a lot better!

I ripped Oshie plenty for the elevator thing...BECAUSE HE WAS A SIOUX PLAYER. I never REALLY thought he was some worthless scumbag who should be locked away for his crimes against humanity. IT WAS FUNNY. North Dakota fans will have some fun with this, and fair play to them. Have any of you ever been to a tailgate? Fair amount of public urination going on at those. Both genders, too.

This is only news because of who it is, not what he did.

The NCAA rules committee has instituted some new rules for the upcoming season. The most interesting one is that hand passes are now illegal in the defensive zone. It will act like an icing where the defensive team cannot change players while the offense can.

I think that most people saw this group as the captains. I wouldn't argue with these selections. :good2:

Looks like I can cash in my "Zach Budish will wear the 'C' someday for the Gophers" stock that I purchased back in 2008.

Much deserved & congrats to all 3. They'll do us Gopher faithful proud.....
