The whole "gotta be a Twins fan AND a Vikings fan" thing doesn't wash. I'm a fan of both the Twins and Vikings...does that mean I should be a gopher fan too??? The Packers were established in 1919...the Twins moved to Minny and the Vikings were established in 1961. I'm sure a heck of a lot of people from this area were fans of the Packers long before the Vikings started here because the Packers were the most regional team. Their kids and grand kids then grow up with the same rooting interest. Why would they switch because a new team comes to town? I'm from ND, born & raised a Sioux fan, and a UND alum. I sure as heck ain't gonna encourage my kids to be gopher fans because I now live near the TC metro!!!

More importantly...I think the Wooger used it during a Sioux/Gophs game!

If a kid has the goal of getting to the NHL "as fast as he can" and chooses UND as a development step, it tells me he has an awfully high opinion of our program and culture.

Goal was punched in by CC player glove...commentators have no clue.

I don't know how they could be prepared for losing Genoway. Overall they haven't been playing well, with or without Genoway. They've been good at coming back to pull out wins on Saturdays. Again, tonight's 3rd period will set the tone for tomorrow.

It's not the ice sheet. It's not that they're the "quicker" team. The Sioux are flat. For the last three weeks they've been fighting the puck and not playing positional hockey. They are making poor decisions in their own zone. They'll come out of it. I just hope it's soon. Maybe the week off will do some good. It certainly can't hurt. Tomorrow will be another opportunity to right the ship. A split would be fine. Plus...there's still 20 minutes left tonight!

A certain wrap-around goal comes to mind...

You'd think CC was unbeaten at home considering all the talk about the altitude...

SOG 20-8 UND Shot Attempts 30-10

PP looks brutal.

They sure like to spot teams two goals early and often...

Let's hope Miami/Notre Dame doesn't go to an 18-round shootout...

FYI - Hak was a head coach in the USHL for the same two years Grant was there, so I'm sure he saw him plenty. I'm not trying to weigh in on the subject, just pointing out that Hak probably saw him play quite a bit even though he wasn't actually on UND's staff.

To add a couple more... Didn't teams get home games in the national tourney during Gino's era? Blais couldn't win the big one with his best teams (IMO '99 & '04). Sure, he got the'97 & '00 teams to overachieve, as well as the '01team; but he obviously couldn't handle the pressure of being favored! I still wonder what would've happened if BU hadn't upset Michigan in '97 Frozen Four. There's a bit of luck to throw into one of those title runs.

Wow...Genoway ramping up his "O" for a hatty while the team posts a shutout? The two are mutually exclusive according to the commentary here the past couple of days!!!

Probably to accommodate the CBS college sports schedule...I think they're the second game of a double-header Friday night. Miami @ Notre Dame is on @ 6:30 CST.

My DirecTV ch. 623 has it blacked out as well. Glad I was able to dial in the FTA system tonight...

Sweet...I nudged west using DisEq 1.2 and now I get FSSN with 55% quality. No direcTV as of now, so I'm glad I was able to dial it in!

Mine says ch. 623 at 7:30. Not sure what's up with that.

Is BU/UNH on 91W? I get that @ 77%, but couldn't blind scan FSSN.

As my four-year-old says: "If the Sioux don't win the game, we just say 'oh man' and then go to bed."

KRISTO on PP!!! 4-1

From Brads Blog:

Goal...Knight!!!!! 3-1 Sioux

Not lately, anyway. It won't last long, that's why we gotta enjoy this.
