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.

hear, hear!

You should be fine actually. According to St. Cloud's hockey schedule, the North Dakota series will be on Charter Channel 14 both Friday and Saturday. For those who live in the Twin Cities, they'll be able to catch the Saturday game on TV via Comcast Channel 13(St. Paul) or Comcast Channel 23(Minneapolis).

I just wanted to rant a little and it is in regards to Midcontinent. Since the beginning of this season Midcontinent has had St. Cloud State home hockey games on one of Midcontinent Sports Network's alternate channels and the one time where it'd actually be worth it to have, they don't. Instead they have the UND women's game on the regular MidcoSN channel and the alternate channel 1 while they've got something else on alternate channel 2. I suppose there is still some chance that they pick up the Charter Communications feed. I mean good job to the women's hockey team and what they've accomplished but it would be nice to watch the men's game on TV as well instead of a webcast.

Agreed, while not to be a knock on Eidsness, so far this season I've seen Dell make key saves in games that kept us in games more often than Eidsness ever did. With that said though, I really hope(d) that Eidsness can get his swagger back. It'd be nice to have a good goalie tandem down the stretch as insurance.

Trupp came back and skated a shift before the game ended.

You could see Trupp shaking his left leg when lining up for the faceoff. Glad to see him back on the ice.

Trupp hurt. Damn.

Another unnecessary penalty committed by Hextall.

Dell making big saves this game.

Well so much for the Feds trying to stop Channelsurfing. They are back up. New website URL though: http://www.channelsurf.eu

All I got to say is wow. I bet you were one of the many people that threw Brian Lee under the bus, huh? I'm sure glad that you aren't on the coaching staff or making any decisions for the TEAM.

And that's the game! Sioux shutout the Tigers 6-0!
