OSHIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1-0!

Alumni weekend there too??

Great chance for Bina, couldn't get it to go. Penalty on CC. Let's go Sioux PP!

Definitely better last weekend at Tech. Unfortunately for me, I think I'm holding off on the dish until after I get my HDTV.

Love the pace of the game. I love matching with teams who run and gun with us.

Thanks.

Were they booted from the game?

Yep.

Scott Owens comments: We've played okay up here, but we have a pretty good North Dakota team this year. It's a good challenge for us. We're veteran up front so we should be able to hold our own. We only play 6 and 8 games on a small sheet all year. We have an extra sheet at home to practice on, but we'll be running into the boards some tonight. We'll be quick tonight. We'll forecheck and backcheck. We need to have good goaltending. In New Hampshire, they said it was such a joy to watch us play, because we just went up and down with no clutching and grabbing. North Dakota plays the same way, so it should be a good match up tonight. Playing O'Connell tonight in goal. It's tough to play a freshman two games in a row. He's young, and I'm not sure I want him to play 120 minutes up here, this early in the year. This year, every point in the WCHA will matter. The bottom teams have gotten better. North Dakota can beat you in so many ways, that's our biggest concern.

Hak pre-game comments: It seems like we've been away a lot longer than a couple of weeks. Maybe it has something to do with the number of miles we put on. Opened WCHA play last weekend. Tough loss last Friday night. One of the guys said, "Well, it's a reminder of how hard it is to win in the league." Going against a veteran team tonight, same as last week. CC will do the same thing. They have good skill, and overall a good hockey team. There specialty team is key throughout the whole night. Their penalty kill is good, and both PP lines are effective. In goaltender, Bachman has carried the majority of the load. He's a freshman, but he's 20 years old. Either guy can do the job for them. It's a matter of translating what we did on the road and bringing that back home. I want to see hunger. We need to be the better team for 60 minutes without crossing the line. Over a 60 minute hockey game, if we grind and we're the more physical team, I think that pays off in the final minutes. It would be nice to see Dunc get a goal. He played really well last weekend. Played very well on Friday night, but didn't get anything on the board. It paid off for that whole line on Saturday night. Forney back in tonight. He earned that spot in practice. It would be tough to look our guys in the eyes if he wasn't in the line tonight. Needs to come back, be a good solid player again this weekend, and take another step forward. LaPoint back in tonight. We're going to get Marto in. He's out tonight, but we will get him in. Phil's just got to keep battling. He needs to concentrate on what he's doing here tonight, and keep battling with what's in front of him.

Don't see it on the schedule on any channel.

Just happened to look at members who are online right now and noticed Prp's on! Good to see you on the board Mike! Best of luck on your new team!

Okay, AZSioux doesn't appear to be around right now, so he can add his cool little graphics when he gets here. However, we're a little over an hour outside of game time, so it's time to get this thread a started!!!! Score early and often boys! GO SIOUX!!!!

Hak also said in his pre-game interview last Saturday night that guys earn spots in the line-up during practice, which is why Forney was getting a shot. He said that Forney had definitely earned a spot in the line-up over the past two weeks of practice.

I'm fine with it providing it doesn't go to the players heads. Thus far this season, I think the players are handling all the attention very well. They all seem to be very humble and realize that nothing matters if they don't play well on the ice.

Hak said in his interview with TH on Wednesday that he thought Marto probably earned a start on Saturday, but he gave it to LaPoint due to him playing well Friday night. I won't be surprised to see Marto play at least one game this weekend.

Won't be surprised to see more line changes in the near future. Happens all the time at the beginning of a new season. However, hard to justify (to yourself or others) line changes when you're coming off a 6-0 win.
