The reason Hak said that JPAR wasn't going to start today was because of mental issues. He said it is mentally draining on a goalie to play three days in a row and I would agree. I would rest him and play Lammy. Lammy is definitely mentally fresh and could use some experience and getting a big time start in the Semi's at the F5 would be good for him win or lose.

I know that Wisc. dropped to a tie for 15th in the Pairwise after last nights game but as much as I hate them I think they are deserving and it would be tough for them not to get in the NCAA's. I thought Wisc. played extremely well tonight and I believe they could compete with anyone in the country. Anyways the Sioux are in and the Badgers have to wait it out. Give some Pio arse. Lets go Sioux.

Sorry guys but thanks for the info. I was only looking for the 8.25 ticket and didn't think before I posted.

Anyone know of anywhere to find tickets to Friday nights semi. I am going down to the games and would like to go to that game as well. I would like nothing better than seeing CC pound the Goofs. Ticketmaster had that game as the only one sold out.

I did everything as bad as I could for UND such as Vermont winning their tournament and Northern Michigan winning theres and Maine winning and I had UND losing to Wisc. and UND was ninth at the end. But of course Vermont and Northern Michigan would take spots from the 12 or 13 in the Pairwise. I think it looks good for Sioux fans.

I wouldn't say Peluso is a goon but I know what I saw on Saturday in the last few minutes of the game and it was Peluso on his last shift and all he wanted to do was fight. I was sitting with a UMD fan and he said the same thing. Peluso's whole goal that last shift was to get someone to drop the gloves and I am sure glad it didn't work.

I agree with you that Matt Greene and all our defenseman are playing extremely well right now but I thought Matt Smaby was a monster this weekend. When he moves his feet like that and doesn't reach he is a great defensemen. He just needs to work on his feet for quickness and he would become much more consistent.

I was in Phoenix last year for spring break and I watched the games at RT O'Sullivans I believe. There was pretty many Sioux fans there. There are also many other places that show the games as well. I recommend calling first to make sure. I am not really sure where its located but Iknow it was a pretty good time.

I think it is absolutely ridiculous that the Thursday winner is going to have to play Friday afternoon. No wonder why no team has ever won who has to play in the play in game.

Anyone know why Duncan is playing in the Canadian Junior league rather than the USHL. I was also wondering if anyone knows how the USHL and the BCHL or any other Canadian league compare because Duncan and Watkins and Kozek sure are putting up huge numbers and was wondering if the league is not nearly as talented as the USHL.

After watching the state tournament, I think I would rather have Vandevelde next year than Oshie. I think Vandevelde is more ready than Oshie is.

Anybody else think that Vandevelde was phenomenal last night. I might have to change my vote to him over Oshie now. Anyways that was the third time I saw him play and it was by far his best game. He must of had 10 or more shots on night and probably could have scored 6. At one point Lou Nanne was talking about him breaking the record for shots on goal in a game. He had I think 4 or 5 shots on goal in one shift in which Moorehead was shorthanded. He played amazing as did the whole Moorehead team.

I saw Connelly and Hummell last night and I wasn't impressed. The only ones I haven't seen are Anderson, Dee and Ambroz. I've heard about Anderson and Dee but I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this Ambroz kid. I predict Oshie wins.

His press conference isn't until Friday now delaying this crap even longer. Just get it over with already Phil.

I think the only reason the decision is taking so long is because he always was going to Minny but had all the Wisc. stuff in the back of his mind. It took long because he has all the abuse he will get from the Badger backers in the back of his mind. If it was a decision between say Minny and UND the decision would have been made a long time ago.

There is an article on USCHO that says Kessel will choose today and has a press conference set for tomorrow. Sources say its the Goofers.

Just make sure you drink a case of beer while your making them and I am sure you will think you were at the Pepper.

This might be a dumb question but is it possible for him to get a medical red shirt. I assume that playing 22 games is too many and he can't but I was just wondering if anyone knew the rules on medical red shirts.

Thanks. I've been looking all week to see if I will get the games and I just got off the phone with some idiot who had no idea. Anyways the only thing he told me is that alot of times the games are blacked out. Just wondering if anyone has had any trouble with games being blacked out.

Does anybody know if you can get the games this weekend if you have dish network? I was just wondering because I got the UW-CC games last weekend and I usually don't get them.

How would you like to be BC right now and have a number one seed and have to play the Sioux whereas the other number ones bet BSU, Colgate and Sacred Heart. BC gets screwed because Minny can't play a WCHA school in the first round.

I believe UND played UMD in a Sat. Sun afternoon series last year or the year before.

BU is also in the mix.

We just want replay do to the fact that in a series versus Denver when the Sioux hit five or six pipes and had one or two goals that were dissallowed that may have been in. It would have been nice if the ref could have taken a look at the replay.
