i was at the game tonight and the sioux got pushed around for 2 periods. everyone around me noticed the same thing.. they played a solid 10 minutes and thats it. thank god they pulled off a tie..they did take a few more discipline penalties...hak said prpich took a step back tonight after thinking that he thought prpich was making good strides with his game...phil was fine again....bad defensive turnovers again lead to good bemidji chances...bemidji came out playing and the sioux did not......simple........... go sioux!!!!!!!!!!!

flew up this morning and got to see 2 1/2 periods of very bad hockey by the sioux. wow!!!! good last 10 minutes but that is just bad. DH says the layoff could have been a cause of the slow start?? what?? but if they come out and win 7-2 then they say well the layoff really paid off, we were very fresh tonight...........whatever..just come out and play 60 minutes please...come on sioux!!!!!

jan 26th ahl..... zach parise (albany) 2 goals in 4-3 win over worcester. ryan bayda 1 assist (lowell) 5-2 win over manchester. brandon bochenski of binghamton 1 goal in 5-4 win over providence. jeff panzer 1 assist for syracuse i 4-3 win over wilkes / scranton. karl goehring gets the win stopping 22 of 25 shots.... jeff ulmer 1 goal for hershey in 3-2 OT win over st johns. tony hrkac of milwaukee 1 assist in 3-2 loss to san antonio. travis roche 1 assist for chicago in 5-1 win over utah.. brandon bochenski 36 points, zach parise 31 points in rookie scoring race....

from what i have seen they have a couple of pretty good players. brendan cook and andrew murray. these 2 can play. cook has 28 points (14 goals, 14 assists) on the season and murray has 32 points (12 goals, 20 assists). luke erickson is solid as well with 28 points but i am not sure if he is playing this weekend.. i see the sioux playing well this weekend. hopefully they will break out and score some goals and get that rolling for the remainder of the wcha season. this series could be coming at a great time for the sioux. then again i have been waiting for the flood gates to open all year i also would love them to break out and score a bunch of goals from a selfish standpoint since i am flying up to g-forks for the weekend for the games BSU lost 2 times to mankato this year each game 4-0....
