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.

Bulldogs score again. UMD 3 DU 0

Don't really want the Sioux to be shipped East....come on Pioneers!

That is a bit easier. Wisconsin in the 2006-2007 season after winning the National Title in 2005-2006 season.

While I'd like the UMD to win, if it ruins our chances of being in the Minneapolis Regional then I gotta hope that DU wins. I'd like to be able to make the trek to the Twin Cities to watch the Sioux play.

One thing that I can take out of this weekend is that besides BE's guffaw that got UMD it's first goal was after that happened he played pretty solid the rest of the game as well as against Wisconsin. Our D, PP, and PK though.....=/ The feeling I'm having definitely reminds me of how I felt when the Sioux bowed out in the Great Lakes Invitational. Could also work on trying to remember how to score goals. Just a review session at the very least. It seems like they are trying to revert to the Sioux team that doesn't know how to score goals. Limping into the NCAA Tournament. Not good.
