With the NCAA's so close, I wish the Sioux did not have a game tomorrow. Nothing good can come from a game playing shorthanded the way they will be, even if they'd happen to win, which is not likely. I'm hoping for a Denver/CC matchup, with M. Stuart removing Paukovich' head. Or maybe Minnesota, with Zajac's buddy Chucko doing the decapitation.

I don't think Paukovich will last until a pro game. Someone will take exception to his cheap play before then. Paukovich is likely lucky the Sioux played as well as they did and took the game to OT. If Denver had scored in the third, a fight was nearly guaranteed.

Report was he doesn't have anything but a tingly feeling in hands and feet. He did move his hand slightly while still on the ice.

Yes, they did. Great performance by a depleted Sioux line up. Now let's get a bounce, several of which just missed as a GWG that period.

If DU gets a lead in the third, look for the C to take on Paukovich. I"d rather see the Sioux go up, but their chances playing short on forwards are slim. That includes tomorrow. Paukovich was a cheap hack in the series at GF, he confirmed his status today.

That could well be pronounced Schneider in Woogspeak.

So far Minnesota hasn't dominated this game. Maybe in the second

If Bina can't go, Marvin moves to wing, Radke in at D. Larsen back for DU, Ulanski out.

Lammy in today. Prpich out; Bina questionable, will evaluate after warmups. Marvin in at D; no Radke, what's the deal with that

Direct Link. Pre-game has started.

Are you actually Don Adam? Enjoyed the pics

The second Ludwig bro. has committed to Western Michigan (the other bro is at Providence). Have no idea whether the kids were ever on the Sioux radar, but it's nice to see sons of former Sioux end up at UND.

At least you can switch to Leinie today

He really said Minnesota.

Unfortunate that Woog did not attempt to pronounce Rastislav in the pregame. I would have liked to hear the "real" pronunciation. Announcer moment of the night. After a shift in which the Sioux had the puck in the Wisco end for the entire shift, up until a whistle and faceoff in the Wisco end, Frank talks about how Minnesota had dominated play and the Sioux's only chances were goals on an odd man rush. Classic.

Badgers were diving on every contact over the last half of the third. Fortunately Anderson didn't take the bait. Nice win.

The storm has been sitting on NWND this morning; doesn't appear to be moving in any direction right now. Radar

That was just the last cheap shot, he cheap shot 4-5 different players in the last 3 minutes, all classless attempts to start a fight, with the outcome decided. No respect here for the little punk.

There are quite a few 2004 Denver wannabe teams around this year.

You'd like us to "sieve" him?

Pregame get together at Great Waters

According to the USCHO article, they would. The no in-conference matchup rule can be overlooked if 5 teams from the same conference make the tourney.

Sioux are now out east (Worcester) with BU and BC. From Moy's Bracketology (March 14) article:

tough neighborhood

Although no fans like it(except maybe some goph fans), it's there and everyone is stuck with it. Avoid it by finishing top 3, if you get there as a 4 or 5 seed, be happy you're there, and look forward to the NCAA's.
