Is it me, or are the Sioux trying to make Sports Center with the tic tac passes? Good things happen when you shoot the #$%&^ puck.

If you're watching this, how's the penalty calls tonight?

0 fer 5 on the PP .. ..

Hooking on Tech - let's get one . . .

I feel the same - lets connect - and soon. Tech's playing a high pressured game and generating a lot of shots. I just saw Kozek on Oshie's line.

Another Sioux PP.

Kozek!!!

Aren't the Wild one of the top revenue generating teams? With the money they're making and the number of years in existence, you'd think they, along with "the team of 18,000" would demand more player and playoff-wise.

It's the coaches who vote to keep the Gopher Rule intact - nothing to do with FSN. With the Gophers playing at 7pm on Friday, it generates more money for the league.

I'd bet at least one of the FCS airings is a simulcast of FSN's UMtc/MSU series. FCS Central usually shows gopher games.

I got to meet one of the Sioux coaches last night. He said Oshie's OK and a lot of the guys are or have been sick. He didn't get into too many details but he didn't seem very concerned.

Looking for two tickets - please PM Thanks!

Thanks WI SIOUX!!!! KAIP!

That's funny and yet sad at the same time. The WCHA Final Five radio ads in the metro give radio highlights for UM, UMD, SCSU, Mankato and Sconny, but not for ND. Maybe there's regional ad versions - maybe not.

I agree with both points. 1) The Senate passed the bonding bills, 2) The House has them on their bill and I believe they vote Thursday - which should pass. 3) It's now up to the Governor. Second point - yes, the metro seems to comes first and foremost and if there's any scraps, we'll through outstate a bone . . . If you feel that BSU should get the Event Center to boost the area's economy and opportunities (and you don't want to see BSU's team fold - email the gov (not sure if I can post the email address - but it's available here).

Both parties get their share of uncommon sense - for this is MN. To me, it doesn't matter which party the Governor is - he made a promise that was a big part of this project getting underway. He needs to fulfill his promise. This is a hockey board and I don't want to get involved in politics here. There's a lot riding on this for BSU hockey and as a Bemidji resident, I don't want to see the program fold. Bemidji and BSU have both done their fair share to try and screw this up - nothing has been easy - but the bonding finally got to where it needs to be and it would be a shame to not get funded now.

Yes, so far he is. A few months ago, he was in Bemidji saying the Event Center is a done deal. He got a BSU jersey out of the deal. Actually, the MN house added the Event Center to their bonding, so it's up to Pawlenty as both the house and senate have done their job. Hopefully the lobby effort will pay off. Otherwise, I'll go to St. Paul myself and take back that jersey (BSU could probably use it . . . )

Wouldn't he had to have stolen the gear to be selling it - or does he (goalies) purchase the pads himself? For that matter, do D1 hockey players pay for their skates, gloves, pads, sticks, etc or is it given to them by their school?

He also used to come out half-way to the blue line and challenge shooters, too. That was fun to watch.

Still looking. Thanks.

I'm uneasy about this coming weekend. IMHO, we've had two non-stellar weekends and now play a better-playing SCSU more-than-likely down two very good players.

Anyone catch Hak's postgame comments?

OK, two more Columbia Mall gift cards yet to give away . . .

KOZEKKKKKK

Hopefully Genoway's wrist injury is "just" a sprian and he'll be back next weekend or shortly thereafter. Trupp . . . we'll see.
