Central looked good to me! I think Fargo South is in trouble tomorrow, because they sure didn't impress me today! DL made South look like they belong in the West.

Maybe coach figured he needed a little more seasoning? Good Jake Marto....he'll be an asset to the league!

That's him! Sounds like he's been playing well for the Bobcats! If anyone does get any info on this, please post it here...I was wondering who they were going to pick up as a goalie....

What playoff's are you watching?

Can someone explain why this isn't discrimination to have our logo in B&W, when all others are in color......I thought this issue had run the mill and was cleared up?

Without the help of the ref's, DU wouldn't have made it out of the Regional bracket........Sioux are due and will win tonight!

Doesn't matter......whoever wrote it obviously knows hockey

Glad to hear that Massen will be back!

I think they got what they needed....Beat by a team that is less than stellar this year! Although I don't know as much as I think I do about hockey, I think the best thing that came out of Saturday's game was McMahon showing what he's made of! Outside of that, I saw disorganization and lack of precision (which, we as Sioux fans are used to). Most of the things listed, any team in the Nation could use! However, it's hard to rate what a team needs more after a game like Saturday night! Thinking back to the Maine series, I remember effort throughout, but after recalling Saturday night (which is hard to choke down), I didn't see too many things that were working well! I'd have to say that the reffing was less than consistent, but either way, this team needs to realize that fast/physical/smart play pays off in the end. Didn't see any of that on Saturday night! I couldn't do better, but I KNOW they can! It's early, and sometimes a good wake-up call like this is what propels excellence! Look forward to the next home series (won't look back for quite some time)....Saturday repressed!

Coach needs to hold practice on Friday nights after the game......team looked like they were shaking off the bottle flu! I haven't seen passing like that since I watched my nephew's first mite game! I think this is going to be an ebb and flow year.....unless this team can pick up the idealogy of playing Friday and Saturday night with drive and dedication. Someone may be able to remind me, but I don't ever remember a series when the Saturday night game looked like Canisus vs. Avalanche! I wanted to say the goaltending was less than stellar, but __ to 0 shows that it could have been 30 points scored by Minnesota with no difference.....no offense! I'm still optimistic, as the season is long! However, and I hope I hold the attitude of the team, this should be a good wake-up call to reference prior to future games......Could be a long season at this rate otherwise! Sioux still Rock, Gophers GOT LUCKY that the Sioux decided to leave the heart in the locker room! Although it's hard to say, Briggs came up big when he needed to! Some of the saves were big, and this builds confidence for the team. GO SIOUX

Sioux Sweep......I think Minnesota will score 3 goals on the weekend. This will be a good chance for UND to build confidence and momentum before next weekend's trip. Actually, I feel sorry for the Gopher's.....I think the Sioux have something to prove this weekend, and being the first home series, they're going to do just that! That's what I think anyway

Any more details on what time and where?

I've played bubble hockey for years, and never had a puck leave the game. Perhaps the REA could install a huge bubble over the entire arena. Of course, this would cut down on souvenirs for the kids a bit.....

If I was the coach of this team (which I am not, and have no ability whatsoever), I would keep all 4 goalies....simply because this is the point of all discussion...and has been for several years. All pro teams have a practice squad and a rotating roster. I believe, on a team like the Sioux, they need that extra man to push the others over the top. I also believe that this should be discussed at the top of the off-season, to make these guys know that wearing the green doesn't come naturally....it comes by way of hard work/focus/discipline! I paid for my college, and will be for several years.....I don't claim to be a natural hockey player....or anything athletic for that matter.....but these kids have something to offer. Getting the ride is a part of their future. Use it or lose it.........and that is what has to be enforced!!!! Otherwise, we come, we play, we party, we lose! It's a mentality thing! I think any of the goalies on board have potential to take the team to the top, but they have to be handled as a potential with a load to tow! If not, they get to play the revolving game of switch-style goaltending, and they never learn what it takes to play D-1 hockey! Good luck to all of them, but hopefully after 2-3 NCAA championships they will know what it takes to succeed in the NHL!
