It wouldn't be the first time Denver doesn't make it past the WCHA first-round playoffs while playing at home. 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 seasons come to my mind where they lost to UMD and UW respectively in the first-round while playing at Magness. Which effectively ruined there chances of getting into the national tournament both seasons. Sadly there a lock this year

I agree. If it happened it shouldn't go unnoticed.

In all honesty I thought we played pretty well 5 on 5 hockey. Our PP bit us in the arse tonight. Team doesn't have to hang there heads low tonight. PP really needs some serious overhaul or something. It's just plain awful during long stretches of time. Next up the Techie Huskies! Let's beat them in two! GO SIOUX!!

I'm surprised how UMD has pretty much fallen flat on there faces. I was placing them to finish 3rd in the standings before the Minnesota series.

He said he'd only give them a couple of hours to celebrate...what could they have done?....

That is what I've been trying to get across earlier. When he turns the puck over most of the time it is very costly mistake. If he could just fix that up that would be awesome

They haven't really done that bad at home. They did get swept by Denver and even Northern Michigan at home but otherwise they've played pretty well at home.

A sweep at the Kohl Center alludes us another year. Always seem to have a tough time playing Wisco when there at home.

Well Wisconsin scores again. 4-1.

Indeed. Frattin has been pretty quiet as of late goal-scoring wise. He has a great sniping shot. It'd be great see him to start making noise.

Probably were. I wasn't here last night. I just know that when Genoway makes a mistake most of the time they are very consequential mistakes that burn us.

Genoway has been costing us a bit with mistakes.. Eidsness has been there to make some saves but he can't save them all when Genoway makes a mistake. He's gotta shape up. His playing these past few games reminds me of how crappy he played in the semifinal against BC that cost us a goal(s).

Yeah no kidding! Now when CC came to GF and was on the PP....that is what I call a PP! They were really aggressive and pressured us damn good whenever they were on the PP. If only we could somehow do that without Genoway or Finley coughing the puck up at the point....

I wish we had an effective PP. It's putrid. And it pretty much has been all season. Wisconsin has exploited that fact. I'd rather watch us play 4 on 4!

Yeah post-GLI was rather gloomy. Now look where we're at! Great accomplishment by this Fighting Sioux team. While I wish that they'd be more consistent in the first-half of the season I gotta concede that they were once again able to right the ship again after digging a nice hole when it seemed to many(including me) a hole they wouldn't be able to climb out of this time around but they did. However, I'll use the excuse that I was in a very depressed state since at the time UND lost to two of the worst teams in the NCAA. And as many have iterated. 1 down 2 to go!! GO SIOUX!!

Yep, last year Midcontinent(cable) picked up the Wisconsin series and broadcasted it in almost all of there viewing area. They picked up the My Madison TV feed of the games. It's a local station. They will be televised on this same station so here's to hoping Midcontinent picks the games up again! While it was on the FSSN channel I don't believe those who watch Sioux home games using satellite weren't able to watch since it was picked up by Midcontinent and not produced by FSSN. Please correct if I'm mistaken.

Thanks for posting the video. Didn't get a chance to see it since I had to quickly leave to work after seeing the OT goal.

Yeah I remember Midcontinent(cable) picking up the My14 Wisconsin feed last year when it wasn't on FSN Wisco. So those with Midco in ND got to watch the games. Well most areas in ND were able to at least. I'm hoping Midco will pick up the feed again and broadcast throughout ND again. I hate it when they just have it for GF area >.<.

I honestly don't buy into that. That's like the WJC excuse.

I thought it was a hard fought series. CC is friggin' good. While I agree our PP sucks, CC's PK is pretty damn good to. I'm satisfied.

W00T!! Great win for the Sioux. At minimum need at least a split in Wisconsin to retain sole possession of first place! Also it looked like Gregoire had a sling for one of his arms? I dunno I thought it was him when they showed the players walking into the locker room and the scratched players were congratulating the team as they walked down the hallway.

Man our PP is atrocious. They've generated very little legitimate scoring chances. I like CC's PP mentality...putting the damn puck on the net. Sorry but playing hot potato between the points and occasionally passing it to man down low to just return it back to the point doesn't do anything except maybe once in a while when the opponent is caught off guard.

I guess I don't see why everyone is finding DaveK question outrageous. If he means as just having Walski 'start' the game so it goes in the books that he started the game and then be replaced when the puck is frozen for the first time then I wouldn't mind that. I've seen a couple of teams do that for there senior goalies. I remember when Wisconsin was playing in the consolation game in the Final Five and it was Brian Elliotts(sp?) last game as a Badger so they gave him the start and then was replaced by Connelly(sp?) when the puck was first frozen. Of course, for those that remember watching the game the opposing team scored on Elliott during that time span of less than a minute that he was actually on the ice for that game. The Badgers still ended up winning though from what I recall. --- Now if he actually meant Walski actually getting to play with the regular season title on the line then yes that is outrageous!

Not as convinced as you are that Denver is too good to lose to the likes of SCSU. It's not like SCSU isn't going into the series with no goals in mind. They are vying for home ice in the first round of the play-offs. I thought Denver was too good to lose against UAA at Magness. I was belatedly wrong. Now I'm not saying SCSU is gonna sweep DU but I definitely think they can take one game for a split. And even if it is just one game against CC. It is still a game against there arch rival. Anything can happen even with the MacNaughton on the line.

UND 28 38 Denver 28 37 UMD 28 32 UW 28 32 CC 28 30 UMN 28 30 SCSU 28 29 Mankato 28 24 AA 28 19 MTech 28 9
