I have a feeling that Eidsness gets the nod on Friday night. I'm thinking that regardless of his effort Dell gets the start on Saturday. Its funny that with more publicity this year Eidsness has started poorly......I think we've seen that a time or two before. I think the Freshman tender for Denver will is the big story this weekend. I don't see him playing average....he'll either steal a game or give up a Kangas like six spot.

I hate Gwozdecky because he's constantly in the officials ear the whole game, and sometimes it works.....If you remember the dasher dancing game, the next five or so penalties were called on North Dakota.....He is a psychologist if there ever was one in college hockey.

I think someone said it best. Is it worth making trips like this when this is the type officiating you will get? And this isn't the first time this has happened.

The big thing tonight will be weathering the early storm. With it being whiteout night and all that Maine will most likely come out flying and throw everything they can towards the crease. I'm thinking that Eidsness will be in the net for the sioux, so a big game for him as far as turning his season around after a bit of a sketchy start. I'm looking for Malone to have a huge weekend. With all sorts of people watching him play tonight I think we could see one of his best weekends of the year......just watch the facemasks...... Don't know what to say as far as a prediction goes tonight. I'll say 4-3 UND.....in a playoff type game.

Another great test for a well traveled hockey club. Maine will be the best skating team that the sioux will have played to this point of the season, and it will be an interesting matchup to see how the sioux can handle playing in a hostile atmosphere (can't call the weekend in Bemidji too hostile) against a top hockey east team. Eidsness Friday, Dell Saturday. I'll predict a split for the sioux.

Should mention Aaron Dell for the effort tonight. Was a steady force between the pipes, and made the saves he needed too. I think he earned himself another start out in Orono.

Not a lot of teams will sweep the Beavers at home this year. Great team effort by the sioux. Four out of ten done in this grueling stretch of games.....nice work so far.....

Did anybody see the Ness penalty......talk about giving up on a play....someone forgot to tell the kid that they can score and still get a powerplay...... With that attitude I'm glad he didn't come to UND.

Congrats to Rodwell on the big goal! Also congrtas to the women on the sweep of goldy today! UNO wins and Goldy goes O for the weekend......ahh yeah.... 3-2 on a great play from Genoway....

Great play off the draw there. What people won't remember is the great job that Hextall did setting a pick for Gregoire......should have probably been a penalty.

This was one of the best F5 of all time and the gophers weren't there. Good riddance....

I was just going to say the same thing.....what an actor......I hate guys that pull that crap and are out on the next fricken shift......

Good period for the sioux. Thats four really good periods in a row.

Puck is bouncing more than a basketball..... Give the ice some work and it will get better......

That first goal is a shot that Eidsness needs to have.....It was a great opportunity, but Brad would probably like that one back.

Three and a half hours away from game time, and very glad at the same time that we can see this game on TV tonight! I think a big key to this series will be the Lamoureax-Rodwell-Davidson line. If that line plays like they did against Fairbanks I like UND's chances. I was thinking about the line combos today and I can't remember a time that UND had so much depth and so many lines that can produce for them. Whatever line gets matched up on the Read line will have a big time task, but I think really any line UND puts out has a chance to match up with that line. I'm guessing Eidsness gets the call in net? Just a guess?

I think I care more now about UND women's hockey than I do about the football team. I hope it was a great crowd.

I'd love to see how Shannon Miller (or whatever the Duluth coach is named) is taking this. She looks like an ultra intense lady....

At least the men's team isn't the only one taking penalties at inopportune times.....get a kill and win the game ladies!

Thanks for the updates Brian. Keep them coming if you could.

Anybody got a score today?

4 Zip bulldogs.....Can't turn over the puck like they have been.

Young goaltender starting for UAA tonight.....get pucks deep, crash the net hard, and get in his head a little bit. Still anxious to see who the six defensemen will be tonight....I'll guess Genoway Blood LaPoint Marto Mcwilliam Forbort

Friday Frattin Saturday Kristo

Hey! Alright! Sioux hockey! Put the coffee on at 10:30 and watch the sioux play into Saturday morning!
