I've been overall pretty excited about this game but the nervousness is beginning to settle in. I think I just need the puck to drop. GO SIOUX!!

:lol:

No kidding, I don't understand why this is so complicated to understand.

I'm a fellow Sioux fan if I were in Michigan's position I would be upset but I'd understand why it was a no goal. If anything, it'd only fuel the Sioux to score even more. As the ESPN guys said, if this were in the NHL. It'd remain as a no goal. Common sense or not there isn't any CONCLUSIVE evidence. The way you use "conclude" is still making an assumption. Go ahead and try and label it any other way but the ref still is making an assumption. It was called a no goal on the ice, should've remained a no goal.

erm, yeah to be honest I bet the Michigan fans could see why it was a no goal and what would blais arguing do? It wouldn't change the call.

From another tweet by Jayson:

UND SID just tweeted this in regards to someone asking if there is any way for people who live outside of ND can watch the game: "I spoke too soon. More options may be announced today."

You had me worried thinking it was only going to be shown in eastern North Dakota. However, all ABC affiliate networks in North Dakota will be airing the game. Woohoo! So those who live in western ND, if you have KBMY(Bismarck) or KMCY(Minot). You'll have the game I believe. I'm pretty sure the towns of Williston and Dickinson have KBMY as a subchannel?

Agreed on missing Gregoire. I think the Sioux PP was especially missing his presence.

You are correct, last year Fox Sports North picked up the UND/Yale game. I don't think we'll have to do a whole lot. Immediately after the brackets were announced, Jayson Hajdu who is the SID tweeted that UND is already working on getting the game to be watchable on TV in North Dakota. Just gotta wait for more information to be released or an announcement from UND.

The team showed up to watch this game. They got some loud cheers when they were walking through the concourse. As for the game, UAA has had some opportunities but hasn't cashed in...CC scored 2 goals with only 5 SOG for the period.

That is what he had after Friday actually. His most recent is UND vs. Dartmouth in Green Bay with Notre Dame//Minnesota-Duluth. Which will no doubt change once again once conference tournaments wrap-up.

I'll be heading to St. Paul as well. I held off on purchasing tickets to see whether or not Minnesota made it. Gonna be plenty of tickets for sale.

Looks like Eades was wrong about MacWilliam playing this weekend. Hopefully, he'll be ready to go for the Final Five.

Indeed, if the Sioux need any reminding that the rest of the games they'll be playing won't be against Tech-like caliber teams, the Final Five will provide that. The Sioux will be fine though, they are on a mission!

Confirmed that Mac won't be back for the rest of the game. Hopefully he isn't hurt too bad and that he's out of the game as precautionary measure.

Not sure, a guest in the chat asked what happened to Mac, neither Brad or Jayson realized he wasnt on the bench. Just noted that Gleason was now on D. So only 5 D playing.

Word from the live chat is MacWilliam isn't on the bench and that Gleason was moved to D.

HA! Next you are going to say Denver lost to Tech and that Merrimack is on the cusp of getting an at-large bid in the National Tournament.

I'm sure there is some sort of IPB shoutbox add-on? As for a chatroom, someone could easily make a SiouxSports.com IRC channel.

Nope, I didn't. Gregoire was on the ice for the handshake and stick salute to the fans. He could've gone off for an equipment issue or if he is injured, he's still playing despite the fact.

Has anyone else noticed that the Midcontinent feed of the game is a couple seconds behind the FCS feed? Looks like I'll be watching home games on FCS lol.

Refs ruining what was formerly a very entertaining hockey game. I think Cloud fans can agree that the officiating this weekend was/is a joke.

I remember watching the 8-1 spanking the Sioux gave St. Cloud via the B2 webcast. It was tolerable and average quality. Is it worth the $7? That is debatable, depends on how much you love Sioux hockey.

Be sure to make lots of noise. Always great to hear Sioux fans being just as loud if not louder than the home crowd.
