Sioux_Hab-it

I agree with the split and I am even hoping that the large ice surface will enable the Sioux talent to really come through offensively. It would have been nice to have Sparky but maybe this will be a big weekend for Watkins.

Now that it has been established as a medical condition vice an attitude problem, which it should have been 6+ months ago, nothing more should be said of Hirsch on this site other than to wish him a speedy and successful recovery.

Nothing has changed about his play as in the two games against Maine he had 3 penalties for a total of 17 minutes. I don't know the details other than that he had 0 points and was -1 for the weekend. I believe he will have the attention of the officials this season and will be a detriment to the Pies. I only hope he doesn't take out another Sioux player next weekend.

A hand injury they say. Does this mean they have started punching the walls earlier this season. Old Lucy must be messing with their fragile Gopher psyche again.

In further support of the fact that Sioux players don't get the national recognition they deserve just take a look at the All-USCHO teams http://www.uscho.com/news/id,10802/WCHAECA...USCHOTeams.html How does a sieve like Schneider (recall the Sioux rout of BC and his play a the World Juniors) get consideration over a Jordan Parise or several other goaltenders in the NCAA for that matter.

I think that the USA today poll might be a little closer to the mark with the Sioux at #6 http://www.uscho.com/rankings/?data=usatoday&week=poll

Based on what we saw of their play, Coach Cronin the Barbarian and his NE thugs could challenge the NCAA team season record for penalties.

Here's the story and I think he was happy. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=140062&hubname=

Although it won't be reflected in the stats I believe that Prpich was the player of the game followed closely by Radke

The only highlight of the period thus far was Prpich's big hit. A real beauty!

NE player holds on to Toews stick to save a goal. PP Sioux

Yeah Jones had a bit of trouble clearing the puck and lost his stick in the process.

Duncan scores 2-0 Sioux

They just showed the band member on the cowbell. What is he on. 5 on 3 Sioux

Goal Radke

Checking from behind penalty NE so five minute PP Sioux

And another PP for the Sioux with just over 4 minutes to go. This is number 5!

Compared to last night the team appears to just be going through the motions However, they have another PP so lets get it going

This is turning into a parade to the penalty box as NE just ran Lammy. PP Sioux

Penalty Oshie, so much for the PP. I am watching dataflix not listening to the Audio.

Another Powerplay Sioux. Hopefully they can connect this time.

Mine is working, try the opposite link to last night. I think they reversed the 14th and 15th games up.
