Kuhninca, Apology accepted but unnecessary. The combination of a few cool ones & the ending of a disappointing season after a great game last night set me off. I've been use to watching hockey well into April & May the last 6 years & am not looking forward to boring Fri & Sat nights. Should have probably slept on my post before pushing reply. We do live in the Greatest country in the world & enjoy the right of freedom of speech & I would never try deny anyone that right. Remember hockey is a team game & the team wins & looses together.

A great showing by the Sioux tonight. That is what I thought this whole series would be. Great to see the Seniors go out on a effort to show the Sioux pride after this tough season. ANDY was great tonight. I new he had it in him & shold have gotten the start last night. A short season according to the recent Sioux standards. The ending of this season is a preview of what is to come next year & quite a few after. The 3rd. & OT was the best hockey I've seen all year. That is what the game should be like. Non stop action. great passing, & end to end rushes. Not use to the season ending so early. K/CAUND, got really tired of your sh**. Friday was a non-effort by the whole team. To try to lay the blame on certain players shows your true lack of knowledge of the game. Enjoy the game as a fan & don't try to be an expert. To say Spiewak was a non-factor in Friday's game was ludicrious. Why the he** would Deano put him on the 1st. line on Sat. if that was the case. I think I would trust one of the top coaches in the country's opinion before yours. To quote Dean,"Spiewak is one of the top defensive forwards in college hockey". The NHL gives out the Selke trophy for that abililty. He does all the things you would ask of a player. You will definitely miss him when he is gone. A tough ending to a tough season. Have to change my Signature soon, but until then I will say, Proud Dad of a Fighting Sioux Hockey Player.

Knocking the #1 team in the country out of the top ranking should give the Sioux a real boost this weekend. Predict 3 games, Fri-Sioux 4-2, Sat-Goofs 3-1,ENG, Sun- Sioux 5-2. On to the next round,working their way through the top teams Go get the goofs!!

I agree Andy will probably get Friday's game & if he has shaken the doubts & has an outstanding night he gets to run out the season. Experince in the big games counts & Andy has that. Blais will probably only run 3 lines, the usual first 2 & any of the freshmen that are ready to play. Go get the Goofs.

Kuch, I think this is the first time all year I finally agreed with you. It was great to see Andy finish strong & almost redeem himself for this past year. Head games are a big part of being a goalie & if he feels he's back anything can happen next weekend. I'd love to predict a Sioux sweep but it will be tough playing against the refs also. Saw a lot of the Goof game last night & couldn't believe what they got away with. Take the Goofs to 3 games & show them what they have to look out for next year. Go get the Goofs.

Gwodzecky was just as boring as the DU announcer. He was disappointed in the effort of his team yadda, yadda. He apparently forgot they barely won last night. He did say that the Sioux-Goof game will be one of a few very interesting series next weekend & the Sioux are definately not playing like an eight place team. Go get the Goofs

Great win by the Sioux to send off the seniors & loyal fans with a final home win. Way to go Andy. Anybody that had the Sioux radio broadcast care to fill us in on Dean's final recap. We got stuck listening to the DU feed with the most boring announcer I have ever heard. Go get the goofs.

UNFU*****BELIEVABLE!!!

You guys took the words right out of my mouth. Thanks for saving me the long rant against Kuch/Caund. I shook my head at his preseason predictions, but hoped he might be close. His latest griping has gotten to be too much & you all said exactly what I was thinking. Kuch, enjoy being a fan of a great school with a winning tradition. Unless you played for the Sioux or any other DI school in a major sport, you have no clue what these players have to go through to get to this level & stay there. They will be back. Trying to stay optomistic for the play-offs.

Dagies, Thanks for the run down on the weekends games. It's nice to get an eyewitness account of what really happened out there. I hope you're son enjoyed the games & learned of few things to relay to Mom.

Everything was falling into place for the Sioux to move up in the standings & they couldn't pull it off. Great game. Sandy has got his guys going at the right time. Still trying to stay optomistic, but getting harder all the time. Take 2 pts. tomorrow.

Great win by the Sioux. Effort by everybody. They have to come back & repeat the same tomorrow. Get the blood & intensity rolling for the stretch run. Couple of miscues by Andy tonight, but he sures knows what he has to do to finish out strong, admitted it in his postgame interview tonight. Had the balls to talk about it. I'd take an experienced player anytime in a pressure sitiuation over a rookie. Give Andy time to work out the bugs this series & go with him for the finals. We saw what the rooks can do, go with the experieince.

Don't tell me you're tired of reading about doz or zod or misc. BS. My vote is to give Andy a last shot. He was a true warrior for the team the last couple of years and pulled out some great games on the last 2 roads to the FF. Andy deserves his shot to go out with a blais (pun intended)of glory. My understanding is he is really outstanding in practise and desrves to make things right. Sioux Sweep!!! Spiewak & Noterman finally quit hitting posts & dominate this weekend.

You think this is the NHL. They don't even do that & they get paid. I'm sure NCAA rules won't allow it. Isn't school supposed to come first. I know your p'd after your lofty pre-season predictions, but maybe Dean didn't anticipate the losses of Lundbohm & Roche would affect this team the way it has Wasted scholarships on guys that left midseason to MJ & USHL meant there are a lot of young players that are trying to rush into the system. There is still time before the play-offs. Anything can happen there as you well know.

Thanks Doc, That's what the team needs. Negatavism doesn't help anybody. Especially when the players read these boards. Booing is probably the worst thing that the fans can do. The players already know how they played.

I imagine it won't help the players, though, if the fans keep booing.

Great win for the Sioux & Josh. The confidence is back after a 3 game sweep of the top teams. A sweep at the Goofs will be tough. It would be great if the game was live instead of a delay. Probably have a womens v-ball game on. Tough to decide to listen on the net or wait for the broadcact. It'll be nice to see the Sioux back in the rankings on Monday. The 2nd half will be fun.

Tied Mich. after 5 min OT@ the icebreker. No Shoot-out, We played in the Consolation game. Great win for the Sioux. Start climbing the rankings in the 2nd. half. Can't wait to watch the Championship game on the dish tommorrow.(One of the better investments I made). Keep the faith all you wavering Sioux fans. Good times will be back.

Tim stated Spiewak was taken to the SLU locker room for treatment for an injury. Was listening on the web & getting a lot of buffering at the end. Anybody listening on the radio get an update from Dean or Tim on the postgame. Internet feed is much better than it has been in past years but got a lot of buffering tonight. Great team win for the Sioux. Sweep the GLI.
