Trying to be as objective as possible, I see the situation where I think Lee excels in some areas and is weak in other areas. He can contol the puck and move the puck and control the power play as good as anyone in the league, in my opinion. That being said, you don't have to be a huge hitter on d but you must play the body and have a physical presence in your own end and I don't think Lee is very good in that area at this point in his career. I am sure with his size and his skills, that will continue to improve upon. With the skill set he has, the new rules in the NHL and the improvements I am sure he will make in a Sioux uniform, he should have a very promissing career in the NHL.

I am trying to sell a hotel room at the Settle Inn that I booked earlier this year through Priceline.com. It is a non-smoking room and the total for Friday and Saturday (including tax) was $140.00. Looking to sell at $100. If interested, please send an e-mail to maolson@sio.midco.net.

Not unexpected but what a rough day being a Sioux fan - that makes two Thursday in a row!

And the weather for Milwaukee is suppossed to be as follows: Apr 6 T-Storms / Wind 53

I have been on the UND website listening to the UND fight songs, playing the songs played during warm-ups and basically counting the hours until Milwaukee....It cannot come quick enough.

Why don't you find a different team You would not be missed.

I would agree with your post and I think it is a compliment to North Dakota hockey that it isn't just a two-horse race each year.

PCM .....where is your sign???

The Gophs couldn't get it done with Irmen and Potulny when they were Soph. or Jr's, what makes you think that they will be able to finish the job as seniors?

Thanks for the encouraging words!!! I met a lot of great Gopher fans this weekend and was a Sioux fan who was disappointed not t o see the Gophers and Sioux play last night.

I would agree that Miller should be in the line-up. I think a Prpich, Miller and Porter line could really create some great scoring opportunities this weekend.

Yes it is!!!!

And then one wonders why it is hard to like the 0-fer program - 3rd place game and they are more concerned about what bar they are going to try and sneak into tonight. Way to go Wisco!

I would have to agree with you DaveK. Maybe a first, huh?

Duncan did not shoot high that time!!!!!!!!

I would dare say congrats to Oshie as it was Kessel's who was the annoited one. Oshie came very close to unseatting the chosen one. And by the way as you would all agree, if you had the choice for a player on your team, Oshie wins in a landslide...

You forgot to add that Smaby can't check very well either

Good for you guys.

I am going to the cupboard to check it out

Goon, that is great but don't you have to go into the tourney on a winning note?

What concerns me the most is that Jordan did not look very sharp tonight. Take into considereation that I am a huge JPAR fan but it did not look like he felt comfortable all night long. It appeared that he was out of position on many occasions and only by the luck of the puck did it go wide. Is it his faul they lost, I would have to say no, but he needs to lead the charge into the NCAA's especially when the likes of Fabian and Stafford are gone. That being said, it is easy to pinppoint blame at the hands of a keyboard.

And how many more beers will that take?

I have grabbed many a beer all night and what is most concerning is that if the Sioux cannot beat Mankato, they will not go that far in the NCAA's. That is not to knock Mankato but is more of a realization that the Sioux just are going to need alot of luck to get to Milwaukee.

Yep the Dogz are going all the way...they are going to beat Denver, then win on Thursay, Friday and then on Saturday and then get a bid to the NCAA's. Wow, I really need some of the stuff you are smoking.

Thats fine...then start another thread with the appropriate topic.
