Another Sioux PP: Earl again, for interference (I think). No, Pavelski for hooking.

The boys look good on the PP, but nothin'.

Sloppy puck handling forces Smaby to take a penalty. PP UW,

Sioux NOT sharp. 4th line only one with jump. Can't keep puck on their stick.

Jordie in nets again.

It appears it'll be up on satellite (FSSN) anyway. Come on boys, build on yesterday! LET'S GO SIOUX!!!

You need to be more specific. Yes it's supposed to be on satellite, Galaxy 3C. See the Sioux on satellite thread for more specifics, if you need them (may also be on SBS6). As far as channel, do you mean on ND cable, Dish, or DirecTV?

Web audio link appears to be down. Says it's buffering but nothing ever comes through. Anybody know who can be contacted to try to get this up and going? I volunteer to make the call as soon as someone tells who it is that should be called.

Good luck buying a beer in Mariucci, at any price. I think alcoholic bevs are allowed in the suites, but not anywhere where the great unwashed would be allowed. Certainly, all measures are taken to prevent Sioux fans from partaking. Can't have Sioux players in the press box, so I'm sure there's a rule against having Sioux fans in the suites.

Yeah for once the signal quality was good AND steady throughout the whole game. I was looking for a backup as the signal quality has quite often degraded as the game went on.

Nice to see some trends broken. Sioux score first for first time in 11 games (according to TH)! Sioux hold a third period lead! Sioux get outshot and win! Capt. MG gets a goal! Sioux win a WCHA game w/o Brady! Fabian scores!

25, I believe.

TV or web audio?

NICE game by Jordie! Earl is a cheap shot artist. In the big pileup at the end of the game (to make it 4x4), he splits the two Sioux protecting Jordie AFTER THE WHISTLE, in order to pile on Jordie. He needs knots pounded on his head, big time. Putz. Of course no penalty on him, 'cause he's a 'star'. Can you say one-way cherry picker?

Please expand.

Come on boys! Turn in around starting now! LET'S GO SIOUX!!!

Any coords for FSNNa on SBS6 yet?

Good to hear TH again!

At the risk of getting lit up like a Christmas tree by all those that think I'm unreasonable, I'll add my two cents. I knew we were going to miss ZP and BB. I expected that the Sioux might struggle early but hoped they'd finish strong. The problem is it's been almost exactly the opposite. Yes there have been some injuries that hurt (Brady). No sign of improvement as the season goes on. A seeming obstinance to trying something different when the same approach continues to fail. These are my biggest concerns. With the Sioux hosting a NCAA regional next year, I'd hate to have missing the big dance next year be the proof that there needs to be a change. I know Dean ain't coming back, but one of the things I really loved about him was that even after a win on Friday he might say something like,"We had some guys out there tonight that were just passengers. Some of them are upperclassmen and should know better by now. I'm not going to name names, but they know who they are. We're going to have some changes in the lineup tomorrow night (or tonight, if was a Saturday pre-game interview)."

MM, read skateshattrick's post above. I appreciate your PM. There was nothing in it that couldn't be said on this board in public, IMHO. As I also stated before, well-meaning Sioux fans can disagree.

MM and SFS, I humbly beg your pardon. I trust your index fingers aren't too painfully bruised from having to repeatedly press the "page down" button on my account. I will not apologize for my position on Hak. If there had been improvement as the season went on, that'd be one thing. But the same problems persist (giving up answering goals, no O, poor performances on Saturday nights especially, lack of intelligent use of TOs, & etc.), without these problems seemingly even being addressed. No efffort to shake things up, sit non-performers, put certain lines on the ice after scoring to prevent a quick answering goal & etc. I am not demanding #8 this season, but I am demanding continuous improvement and getting everything out of the team that is possible. I just don't see it and I just don't see any alarm on the part of Hak that it's not there. That is just simply inexcusable. Maybe I'm so disappointed that I'm being too hard on him, but all I can say is that this is not a position that I have come to overnight, it's a culmination of the entire season. If Hak doesn't know that the process by which he was hired put him on an incredibly short leash, he should. I say what I'm thinking, I don't sugar-coat it, and if some don't like it, put me on your ignore list. I just don't give a damn. If Hak does continue as coach and is able to bring the program back to its recent former glory, I will be the first to admit I was mistaken. I have nothing against Hak as a person, I just want what is best for my Sioux. And in this, well-meaning people are certain to disagree.
