AZSIOUX

biggest thing going on usually especially with no NHL. I'm guessing the tv ratings in Canada are off the charts

Money talks! Go sioux!

Coach Hakstol is that you?? lol just having some fun but that's a classic Hak/player response

It's the last WCHA series ever, could be the last meeting barring NCAA tourney games for 5 years. Just wish each city hosted a series!! Tickets are already crazy high right now but that won't stop sioux fans! Buy them up! Get back to you in 11 days on this on both teams, HC and CC first

Besides having a Canadian flag on the side of his helmet John Gibson has been unbeleivable in these games! Hell of a goalie

Love it! Go USA! Took it to the Canucks and sent them to a bronze medal game which is basically like taking last place north of the border! nice job Rocco and USA!! Lets go Michael phelps on the swedes and bring home that gold!

Forgot about rodwells skate cut. He's questionable per brads blog

Is Rowe is mike fink situation or does he come in still? Congrats to those guys! Good to see Voltin as the other two were expected. Really interested to see what's up with Pelnik and how his development is going. Who is slated to come in next year forwards and D saying they don't have any early departures?

My 4th line when adding parks , rocco and mitch would be Rodwell / st clair / pattyn Gaarder has been a nice player no doubt. I'm not saying he should sit but somebody has to Panz over Gleason on the blue line Wonder if we see gothberg this weekend.

@Russostrib: #gophers coach Don Lucia says Erik Haula will likely be out at least the next 3 games; maybe returning vs. North Dakota

Was everyone at practice firing 1 timers?!? Lol. Someone has had to bring that up to him. He knows his hockey but his hockey lingo is embarrassing when he uses 1 timer like he does on wrist shots and passes.

Those 3 put up monster numbers together at bchl! Who knows but great to get parks back! When Rocco gets back and parks now in there along with Mitch there will be guys sitting who may haven't been this year. Good problem to have. Sweep HC back to the east coast

Russia beats Swiss in 5th round of shoot out to advance. Russia pulls a Johhny Toews and uses same shooter for 4th and 5th shot and he scores in 5th to win. @TSNBobMcKenzie: RUS wins in shootout. Kucherov with the shootout winner. Vasilevski with the clutch save. Tampa Bay Lightning heroics at both ends of ice. USA can beat Canada but must take advantage of the pp chances and at this point a stupid penalty could cost you a gold! I think Russia wins that 2nd semi. Who wouldn't want to beat Russia in their backyard for some Gold?!?! USA Canada 4am est Russia Sweden 8am est

USA d man suspended http://unitedstatesofhockey.com/2013/01/01/2013-iihf-world-junior-championship-gostisbehere-suspended-for-quarterfinals/

Is there a structured process for choosing the wjt coach?? Do coaches ever turn that opportunity down?? Curious as well how that works including assistants. Just want USA to give themselves a chance at Canada again!

Does anyone know or have a decent idea of how many Minnesota/ North Dakota kids are playing in any major junior league? Wasn't there a big time prospect from crookston that went mj?? I know it doesn't happen often but there are a handful that do.

Anything can happen in 1 and done situations when it comes to medals! Beat the czhechs and its a new day vs Canada! Wonder what Rocco's role will be?! Go USA

I know UND probably keeps track of ice time but I really wish NCAA hockey did that like they do in every other hockey league. Could potentially help a lot with breaking down situations like this but would be nice in general to have access to. Mermis profile http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=124561

Thanks for the patience! I ended up with 2 jerseys and 2 signed photos of a former sioux star for the 4 winners. I picked names out of a hat and they went as follows. Please PM your address and ill ship ill items out ASAP. Ill do one more of these before the season is over! Happy new year hockey fans!!! Willykid - jersey Siouxporter - jersey Deansteg - signed photo Siouxtupa - signed photo

Thanks, Interesting timing to this decision. I wonder if his minutes weren't where he wanted to bailed.

Another one bites the dust Usually one of these 2 reasons...grades or playing time and its usually the latter. Did he even play vs BU?

Holy cross hasn't played any team noteworthy. Their schedule up to this weekend may be one of the softest in the nation. Don't take them lightly of course and get that first home stick salute.

Thanks. I know Czech Republic is first up but hope to see another USA Canada semi final. Canada is damn tough

Does USA get Canada or Sweden if they win?

Hope we get to see Mitch Mcmillin and Parks this coming weekend. One last important non conference series for UND. The Crusaders who currently to this day sit at #19 in the pairwise with a overall record of 10-4-2 and tied for 2nd in the AHA
