Speez

He played at Lake State. He's one of the smart ones that got out of that disaster.

The Sioux looked as dominant last week vs. the Bulldogs, they just couldn't put it in the net. Hopefully that turned around last night & will become a regular occurence again.

Thanks Pat for the nice words about Kevin. I remember 4 years ago at the first parent weekend, Mr. Ambrust said enjoy these years because they will be over before you know it. I sat there thinking that this is just the beginning, well it's almost over now. We have enjoyed these years tremendously. We have had a great time in GF & other games we could make. I have met a few of you fellow posters & am glad I did. I'm glad Kevin decided on UND. There have been both highs & lows over the last 4 years but these are what memories are made of. I was a casual college hockey fan before, but I will always be a Fighting Sioux Fan no matter where Kevin may land up playing. The season & his career are almost over at UND & he hates not playing in April. I hope we can all meet up in Buffalo this year. GO FIGHTING SIOUX !!!!

Dagies, I've been agreeing with you alot lately. Don't forget to vote for YOUR favorite Sioux player. I do everyday.

I do too. I agree with Dagies on this one. Enjoy the fun of watching the Sioux be back near the top of the standings where they belong. Last year everyone was crying & moaning about the team & what was happening. Anyone expect this kind of turnaround besides the players? The team learned alot of lessons from last years season to get them in this position. It's better to hit the bumps now & learn some lessons from it, then have it happen when you lose & you're out. I remember the Sioux losing the 1st. game in the playoffs to UMD in 2000 or 01, & had to win the next 2 to go the FF in MNPLS. This team is very young & still is having growing pains. The Sioux will have a strong team for years. Enjoy them now. I'm hoping for a trip to Buffallo this year, but everything has to fall into the right place at the right time. This is the fun time of the year. Crunch time is right around the corner.

Was almost rooting for MSU to win it, until I realized a tie would be better for the Sioux. I guess the Goofs don't have what it takes to bury anybody. They outplayed MSU both games but couldn't put them away. I liked the way MSU kept battling back. The 3rd. period & OT was pretty entertaining. The Goofs sure can't complain about the refs today. Anderson gave them a PP in OT. I wonder what their excuses will be today.

The POI board has & still seems pretty lame to me. The only time it has any interest to me is when there's another Parise thread on there & they all complain about it. Should be a new one any day now, it's been over a week since a POI'er started one I agree with you 100% Jim. It was nice before people were posting a link to this board all over USCHO & POI. I liked it when all we had to be mean to was fellow Sioux fans. If I want to read a bunch of garbage I'll go to USCHO

WAA-WAA-WAA Do we have to see the whining & crying on the Sioux board also?

Kevin Spiewak was in the top 3 in the 1st. round of the voting. Right behind Brandon & Zach. If the ballot box was being stuffed, I don't know who was doing it. I posted on USCHO which I rarely do anymore. A top defensive forward should not be left out of the running because people feel the winner should be the top scorer in the country. If your a fan of Kevin, give him your vote.

Being ranked #1 at the end of the season before play-offs doesn't guarantee an NC$$ championship. When was the last time the #1 team won it all? It hasn't been for a few years, but I haven't been around here that long. Who needs the #1 ranking or wants it ? I think the team will be happy to be in the top 5 at the end of the season. Let someone else wear the #1 target on their backs.

Wooger has been saying it that way since he's been broadcasting. You would think he ran into a few of them in his many years in Minn, hockey. It's not like the Sioux are the only ones with Lundbohm's on their team. Must be something psychological. Other than that he's a pretty good color man.

Just finished watching the tape of last nights 3:00 AM broadcast. What an outstanding team effort. The defense is stifling now that all the guys are back. This team reminds me of the 2000 & 2001 teams that never stopped coming at you. They put the clamps on the goofers. In the 3rd. they looked liked they were afraid to even go into the Sioux zone. Dump the puck & run(skate) away before they got demolished by another Sioux crunching hit. Brandt played a very good game last night. He made some outstanding saves when the goofs happened to break into the zone. Brandt needs to build his confidence back up after having a lay-off from playing regularly. Confidence is what is helping the team to keep knocking off their opponents. It was nice to hear the Wooger give Dean & the Sioux their props after the game. He was amazed the Sioux were able to turn it around so quickly after last year. He said a team should be able to win most games with 4 goals & the Sioux did just that. This season keeps getting better & better all the time. Can't wait for tonights game which is live on FSN. Also going to CC for the rematch, which will be one helluva a series. The Sioux are going to go very deep into the post season. A dynasty is growing & the fans will be able to watch a great team for many years to come.

Pat, Glad you were able to cheer with the rest of us.

Unf*****believable win for the Sioux. Great team effort. Can't wait to tape the 3:00 AM replay on the dish & watch it tomorrow. With the whole team together, they should be unstoppable. Can't wait to hear the excuses. Sioux are #1.

Goon, Clue us in. What did Tim say to get the hook?

I second that emotion, John

Great comeback by the Sioux. I always wanted to quote myself.

I have been of the opinion all year that the Sioux schedule has been conducive to a turnaround. After lasts years debacle & loss of confidence, a slower start with an easier schedule was the best thing to happen to the Sioux. If the schedule was under the control of Dean, then he showed his usual genius. If it was the scheduling people of the WCHA then it was pure luck. The Sioux needed to start this year off right & get their confidence back. Every series they won from the start did just that. After 5-6 weekends of sweeping the competition the players realized they had a team to compete against anybody. Confidence in your abilities to win gives the team the attitude of expecting to win no matter who the opponent is. I believe everybody realized that last night against CC. The team spent too much time in the 1st. trying to control CC. They really came back when they started playing their game. The Sioux did a great job shutting down Sejna as did CC against Bochenski. This series is another boost in confidence for the team. Being able to play with another top team in the WCHA & nation will keep their confidence high during the brutal road portion of the schedule. When they perform well on this road segment, it will help them in the play-off run which is all on the road. Can't wait for tonight's game & next weekend against the Goofs.

I don't think you can compare this team to last year. The game would have been over after the 1st. period last year. This years team has the nads to keep working for the comeback. A tie isn't the greatest thing but 1 point is better than nothing. The Sioux belong at the top of the rankings & should stay close to the top the rest of the year. A great game by the top 2 teams in the WCHA & probably the country. Can't wait to see the goofer excuses for their loss to SCSU. Should be a wild week leading up to the Goof series, but the Sioux have to get 2 tomorrow.

BSU up 5-3

Never mind. Picked up the BSU feed. 3-3 Tie
