You forget that Pohlkamp played in the World Juniors this year with Carle as the coach. So, he knows Carle and played defense with Zeev Buium while he was there. So pretty easy to go someplace when you became familiar with the coach and know what to expect.

It is interesting that three of the four schools making the Frozen Four are private schools. They have a lot more leeway in the NIL money and with Michigan being the fourth school it is not surprising that most of the first-round picks are headed to these schools.

Have you ever seen a team as snakebit as UND? So, in this game Ludvig tries to clear the puck and puts it directly on our guy's skate and back into the goal. to tie the game. Third Michigan goal hits not one but two of our guys and flutters over to the Michigan guy all alone on the other side of the net. So we're now down 3-2 and have to chase the game. I can think of so many times our hockey team has either hit multiple pipes or the other team scores off our guy. For example: 2005 Frozen Four in Columbus against Denver for the Championship. Denver won the game 4-1 with an empty netter. First three Denver goals went off a North Dakota Player either a skate or a body. Two of which were power play goals. North Dakota out shoots Denver 21-1 in the third period and does not score a goal. One of which Fabian puts into their goalie (Maninno's glove that is inside the goal. But because the refs say they couldn't see the puck in his glove they disallowed it. Or 2004 Regional in Colorado Springs when Parise was a sophomore. We lose to Denver 1-0 after out shooting Denver 38-9. Only goal Denver scores goes off one of our guys butt. Just feels like we are snakebit when it comes to the national tournament. Argh!!!

Thanks for the congrats. I looked back and the first season I won was 2012-2013 season. The last season I won was the 2017-2018 season when I won twice. Sioux Survivor started in the 2007-2008 season and thanks to siouxforeverbaby it has been going on since then. Thank you siouxforverbaby for doing this all of these years and keeping us all involved in the games no matter the score!

Our daughter's email recap of Sioux at Minny on Saturday January 27, 2007, while we were on a cruise. Hello Parentals: First Period: Both teams came out strong and Minnesota made clear their intentions to play rough with anger by trying some pushing and stuff after the very first whistle. The game was pretty even for the first half of the first period and then North Dakota scored the first goal (Zajac). Wooooooooooooo. A couple of minutes later North Dakota scored again (Duncan). Yaaaaaaay! Then the penalties started. Apparently, we hadn't learned much from the game last night. Basically, the rest of the first period involved the killing of penalties followed by more penalties all on our part of course. Minnesota scored on a 5 on 3 to make it 2-1. Then Minnesota scored again and again. Two of their goals were on power play. So it was 2-3 towards the end of the period. Then with a minute or two left. Bina cleared the puck from right next to our goal. It bounced down the ice right on net and bounced right over the goalie's leg! HA HA HA HA! It was possibly the best goal I've ever seen. Second Period: Briggs is in playing goalie now. The other guy was probably too busy crying with shame to play this period. Aha the first penalty is on us of course. Interestingly Finley has not even been in the box yet. Penalty MN. Successfully killed. Penalty Us. Successfully killed. Penalty MN. (only their 3rd of the game) Duncan scores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4-3. Fabian Goal only seconds later!!!!!!!!!! 5-3. coincidentals 4 on 4. oops penalty on duncan. 4 on 3 for a minute. now 5 on 4... successfully killed. Then of course another penalty on us. Successfully killed to bring us into the 2nd period break. Bina got the hit of the game. and though MN had many chances this period they did not score. woot Third Period: I hate when announcers call the puck a biscuit. Penalty on VandeVelde 2.5 minutes into the third. Our 10th penalty. Successfully killed. Penalty on MN shortly after ours is killed. Oshie SCORES!!!!!! 6-3. oh he's so cute. Trivia: What 3 WCHA teams have never shut out the gophers at home? A: Alaska, Minnesota St. and UND. Penalty MN. Successfully killed. Oshie SCORESSSSSSSSSSS! And the fans are putting on their coats with 8 minutes left in the period. 7-3. Penalty on Finley. Successfully killed. Gophers look demoralized, just the way I like 'em. The crowd is cheering Overrated. I am guessing the Sioux fans are the ones yelling as they seem to be the only ones left in the arena. Fight! with 17 seconds left. someone's a poor loser. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!! WE WON!!!!!! Suck it Gophers! 7-3 ! A Sweep! woohoo!

Looked him up. He was on the team that year and played 3 games with no points. He then transfered to St Thomas for the last three years when St Thomas was in the MIAC conference. That team also had future NHLers in Travis Zajak, and Drew Stafford plus Rastislav Spirko went to the Europe before finishing his 4 years.

Well let's see in 2005 North Dakota brought in 13 freshmen. They were: Joe Finley (D) Taylor Chorney (D) Todd Alexander (D) Zach Jones (D) TK Oshie (F) Ryan Martens (F) Jonathon Toews (F) Andrew Kozek (F) Brad Miller (F and then played D later) Ryan Duncan (F) Matt Watkins (F) Brain Lee (D) Aaron Walski (G) That team had 6 sophomores, 6 juniors, and 2 seniors. They went to 4 Frozen Fours in a row even though a number of players turned pro early. Not sure if this is even possible now with the transfer portal but we can hope?

Hard to believe that the Pairwise was accurate this year. I get it that Colgate and Canisius won their tournaments, so they made it, but they are the anomaly and weren't expected to put up a fight. So those blowouts are not surprising. But to have Harvard at 7 in the pairwise and Michigan Tech at 10 makes them seem like good teams. They didn't show up. Even those teams that made it like Merrimack (14) and Western Michigan (12) got beaten by 4-5 goals. Gees the only teams that lost that looked like they belonged in the tourney were Denver (expected to be decent) and Minnesota State (their game seemed closer than the 4-0 loss). The Big 10 can crow all they want but to me it looks like a lot of fairly poor teams made the NCAA tournament and they showed how bad they really are once they got there. (How the heck does Harvard have 15 NHL draft picks and not even put up a fight once they get to the NCAA Tourney. Pathetic) Worst first round of NCAA Tournament games I've ever seen. UGH!
