Here's that momentum shift that we all hate. Is it just me, or is Chorney really struggling tonight?

He's playing regular shifts. I've noticed him a few times tonight.

With 13 kids, they probably don't remember!

Clean check was the ideal call.

Helped us see the Oshie/Toews goal.

Radke grinding it out to create a scoring opportunity!

Don't agree with that call either!

Coasted with the BC player right into the boards, not boarding.

BS call on Porter!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's go PK!

OSHIE does the behind the net thing again!!!!!!!!!!!1

Finley comments to Brennan, "You can't do that buddy." Let's go Sioux PP!!!! Lammy giving you a chance to win!

Where he's east coast for sure, I have always thought that Norton has given North Dakota good props. I'm just hoping his jinx continues, as he picked BC to win it all this year! And I'm hoping the jinx comes in to play tonight!

I see your point, and if you read my first response to your post, we're pretty much seeing things the same way, in regards to the physical play.

Personally, I thought that was a pretty good period. Hockey's a game of momentum. BC took momentum after Porter took his penalty, which was the 2nd straight penalty. I thought the Sioux were starting to even things out towards the end, and thought they looked good in that last minute on the PK. I definitely didn't expect to watch North Dakota dominate this game, and thing that momentum will continue to switch back and forth. As much as I hope the Sioux win by 3 goals or more, I have the gut feeling this will be more of a Gopher/Sioux type game. The two teams match up too well for one team to walk away with it.

Ah....doesn't Dave say that our game is a speed game? Why would we want to slow it down?

I don't know if I agree they're taking us off our game. Boys just need to do what Hak said in pre-game and choose when to be physical and when not to be physical. I like the 1st period this year a lot better than last years!

There's a junk goal for BC.

Good job by Porter to realize to let up on the check. Saved him.

Let's go PK!

OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look at that Lee haters, Brian draws the first penalty of the game!!!

Games underway!!!!!!!!!!! LET'S GO SIOUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like how he says it!

According to their team site, over the course of the year, they're a little over .500 on faceoffs, but that doesn't state recently, which is probably the more important part of that stat.
