Simply awesome. GO BSU!! This isn't the last year of the CHA. Next season will be. I do believe they lose the autobid though. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Beavers going to the frozen four!!! GO BSU!!! Scored an empty netter to make it 4-1.

Day after, and I'm already over the loss. It sucks that we lost but ah well I'm over it . Looking forward to next season already!! Is it October yet? GO SIOUX!!!

I sure hope so. I miss the fear in opponents whenever they had to enter the UND zone and they had to get past guys like Greene, Smaby, and of course Matt Jones to get a shot at our goalie. I especially remember in that Worcester regional when we had to play BU and BC those guys sure put a clinic on them If we can have that kind of Defensive Corp again with some offensive defenseman like Genoway and Marto I think that'd bring good things.

Yeah, BU look like they are on a mission to destroy and decimate anyone in there path. They are good. I was impressed. Now if that statement jinxes them I wouldn't feel bad at all though

Indeed! The BC game last year was easy to take since we were just completely outplayed and dominated by BC. When the games are close like this....it really hurts to lose. This one will be a little hard to get over but nothing will come close to how I felt when the 2003-2004 Fighting Sioux squad lost to Denver in the West Regional Final.

Me neither. Even during the summer I got hockey my mind. October needs to come early this year!

GO UMD!! As the last team representing the WCHA I hope they can beat Miami and go to the Frozen Four and be the lone representative of the WCHA.

I was hesitant to say VV as a possibility when I posted But glad my line of thinking wasn't far fetched. But your right, I really don't see anyone else leaving early besides VV. We've got at least another year out of Gregoire. and I see Hextall being a 3 or 4 year kid.

Gotta say though whether it be coincidence or not. Teams that win the MacNaughton Cup seem to fall flat come post-season.

Who are possibilities for Sioux players to leave early? Any? I'm thinking maybe VandeVelde. He definitely improved his play big time this season.

lol Twas' only a matter of time.

Also, I wanted to mention that I agree with the poster who said they were impressed with how Blood stepped up after LaPoint's injury. I agree with you. You really didn't hear his name much but when he was on the ice he was very solid and reliable. Looking forward to seeing him grow as a UND Defenseman .

Really? No one is saying they won't feel crappy. But if people want to vent there frustration on the loss here then so be it. It's a message board after all. This loss is a fresh and open wound. We're still Fighting Sioux fans in the end and will support and follow them whether they win or lose.

Duncan, Finley, Kozek, Jones, Watkins, Miller, Martens and Walski: Thank you for 4 seasons of Fighting Sioux hockey. Good luck in your endeavors after college. Whether it be to continue playing hockey or starting a career non-hockey related.

Seriously, the people who are complaining about those who are !@#$%ing...DEAL WITH IT. Our team just freaking lost. Don't try and tell people how they should handle a loss. Everyone has there own way.

Yeah Finley did look really sluggish this game. He was a bit sluggish during the Final Five as well.

Maybe it is a jinx to win the MacNaughton Cup? Ah well, I won't mind seeing it at the REA next season.

Wow....the Sioux choked this game away. Horrible end to the season.

LET'S GO SIOUX!!!!

It's time for the seniors and the team to step up now after such a demoralizing game-tying goal with only a matter of seconds left. Let's GO SIOUX!!

I'm just stunned. This game should be OVER Seriously what the bloody !@#$ was Eidsness doing so far out of the net!! That is just disappointing.

Wow, Denver played very lethargic that period. Quite a slow and rather boring game. Not impressed at all with Miami even if they are winning right now. There PP seems to be just as horrid as the Sioux's.

Not to overly optimistic about our chances getting out of this regional. It seems as if the Sioux doesn't like to come out to play in tournaments. Hopefully they'll change that when they play UNH. And with the possibility of then having to play BU....yikes. I'd like to think the Sioux would love to kick there arses for being embarrassed by them earlier in the season but I dunno BU might just be to good. None the less, I'll be sitting in front of the TV this weekend cheering for the Sioux and hoping for them to surprise me. GO SIOUX!! P.S. to Sioux: This would be a great weekend to get the PP and PK back in line!

Ah great, an effective way for the trend of MacNaughton Cup winners to bow out in the first round of the tournament to continue. If we get past UNH and BU. I'd be humbly surprised.
