Caption This: What Is J-P Doing?

• "Yeah, whatever Genoway. This is for all those slappers that buzzed my ears during practice."

• He's wearing green, he's in Wisconsin — must be the Lamoureux Leap.

• J-P Lamoureux fulfills a promise to his high school track and field coach by pole-vaulting himself into the celebration following North Dakota's win.

• Contrary to the belief held by opposing fans, the entire North Dakota lineup CAN'T fit through Lammy's five-hole.

• What better way to celebrate another trip to the Frozen Four than with a tradtional Russian Cossack dance?

• "Check this out, guys. I learned this from Carl Edwards."

• After winning the Midwest Regional in overtime, J-P Lamoureux immediately asked himself, "What would Brian Boitano do, if he were here right now?"

• Holy Leaping Lamoureux Batman! North Dakota is in the Frozen Four!

• I CAN SEE YOUR FIVE HOLE!

• Tucked game puck in pants for safe keeping...boy is that sucker cold!

• Martians are trying to beam J-P up...not to probe him but because there are no decent goaltenders on Mars.

• Although scientists disagree on its effectiveness, each spring, instinct compels goalies to perform the 'mating dance of the netminders'

• "Hey guys, look what I can do with a regular stick, instead of that big old goalie stick!"

• Jean-Phillipe Lamoureux carried the Fighting Sioux on his back through the NCAA regional in Madison. Once the team finally hopped off after an OT victory against Wisconsin, the removal of excess weight caused J-P to spring wildly into the air, and nearly remove defenseman Chay Genoway's left kidney.

• After an amazing overtime win against the Badgers, Fighting Sioux goalie Jean-Phillipe Lamoureux pays homage to legendary martial arts super-weapon Chuck Norris by displaying a spectacular flying roundhouse kick. Given his accomplishments in net over the weekend, one wonders if somehow J-P was channeling Chuck Norris against Princeton and Wisconsin.

• Celebrating the 'Yotes Signing of Kyle Turris

• Hop on guys and lets ride the stick to Denver

• Phil is auditioning for a new hit reality show "Dancing with the Stars, On Ice!"

• Just trying to get my five-hole as big as Frazee's during last year's regional...

• With all of the pressure of the game, J.P. forgot about St. Patrick's Day, and once he remembered, he tried to make up for the lost time.

• Attributing the win to being a Fighting Sioux, he decided to celebrate with a traditional Sioux dance.

• "You put your whole self in. You put your whole self out. You put your whole self in and you shake it all about. You do the hockey puckey and you turn yourself about. That's what it's all about!"

• Genoway to Lamoreaux: "Dude, you've been in the zone all season, just...go celebrate elsewhere until we win it all." Lamoreuax then falls over backwards.

• "I know we pulled this win out of our ass, but that's just ridiculous there J-P. Show off."

• "Risking almost certain groin injury, Lamoureux attempts to become the first player to see the top of Joe Finley's Helmet."

• "Lammy is trying to prove to the drunk Sioux fans that he is almost as tough and good as Kangas"

• Giddy-Up- I've heard there are lots of horses in Denver and I've always wanted a pony

• After ten minutes of stomping on his stick, JP gives up trying to convince the rest of the guys that a $50 wood stick is still more durable than a $200 composite one.

• Jean-Phillipe just has to start dancing when they play "Cotton-Eye Joe" on the PA

• Upon winning the Madison Regional, JPL favorite song plays in his head "If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe ......."
