End of the game tonight may get a bit rough. Wouldn't mind seeing Pattyn go with somebody. But whom......

Nice dominating performance by the Sioux tonight. They've been the better team this weekend, regardless of what the score was last night.

Jon Lizotte is senior athlete of the year (played with his brother in Minot).

Best team won the tournament. Hopefully this KKK thing is forgotten.

Five and an early shower for Doremus.

Gwoz wouldn't be impressed with a 5-3.....come on.....

A goal here would be huge here......

Tough to get any flow going when you're killing penalties.

4 Straight on UND.

Nice work by Saunders on the power play.

Another UND penalty.......third of the period.

UND really needs to take a strong look at Jon Lizotte. Talk about a bowling ball physical presence. Give this kid two years of junior hockey.... I've always been a proponent of getting ND kids on the squad. Jon Lizotte definitely fits the mold of a gritty Sioux player.

I have a feeling UND will spend some time in the box this period.

He was one of the best forwards against UNO as far as physicality and playing his role. Has to be something going on.....

Interesting that the fourth line that was amazing against UNO has been split up. Just the General left.

I'd like to think me not listening or following this game other than checking updates has led to this first period. I'll stay away as long as possible. You can all thank me later.

Heartbreaking loss for the UND women. That'll be a killer in the pairwise as well. Need to sweep Mankato out of the Ralph next weekend, beat Wisconsin at the league tournament, then find some way to give Minnesota their first loss. Not impossible. But a long ways to go.

These students need to issue an apology as well as Red River high school, and Grand Forks public schools. This has unfortunately cast a bit of a shadow over the state tournament. They are talking about it on the broadcast now. Just makes you sick.

Okay, back to hockey. Boys 5th place: Minot 5-Fargo North 3 Boys 3rd place: Bismarck Century 2-Davies 1 Not a bad showing for the west. Bismarck high was 18 seconds away from knocking off GPR, and if they do a western team is in the final. Still a ways to go though. As an alum of Minot it may just take a miracle to win a first round game.....I'm not sure what the answer is.

Great thread topic......My all time team.....hmmmm.....20 man roster......ohh boy..... F-Tony Hrkac, Zach Parise, Jason Blake, Lee Goren, Matt Frattin, Ryan Duncan, Jim Archibald, Jeff Panzer, Troy Murray, Steve Johnson, Bob Joyce, T.J. Oshie. D-Matt Greene, Mike Commodore, James Patrick, Travis Roche, Nick Namenko, Curtis Murphy. G-Karl Goehring, Eddie Balfour, Phil Lamoureax

My guess is Zane for Saturday nights game. But I think Saunders needs to get back in there at some point in time here just in case Zane's play tapers off a bit. Love Hak to death, why leave Rodwell at home....fourth line last night was non existent. I can't remember hearing Pattyn's name. Senkbeil took a penalty, but that was about all from him.

I just don't know what the official is looking at? At first, yup, takem both. Then, Kristo puts his arms down and takes two punches. Kristo should have gotten a roughing and the other guy at least a double minor. UND didn't deserve to win, no blamo the officialos.....But that had to be called.

I thought the effort was there 85% of the time, but boy was Hak ticked off. I dunno, thats why he's the coach, and I'm on a computer.

From the post game interview: ~Hakstol not pleased with the effort. ~Lots of passengers. ~Not good enough.

Thoughts: ~Wide open nets.....ufff. ~Goaltending for UND......uffffff. ~Bad penalties.....ufff. Can't hate on the effort. Denver can't get gift goals, and UND can't miss blatantly wide open nets.
