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.

I sure hope so. Otherwise we might just fizzle out like Minnesota and CC did after winning the MacNaughton Cup and then proceeding to bow out at the Final Five and then lose in the first round of the regional.

It's been needing work for the past month or so. It's embarrassing. Have we reverted back to not being able to score goals? Our showing this weekend reminds me of the GLI....

It'd sure be great to beat the Badgers today....Like Redwing said let's just play 5 on 5 and 4 on 4 Don't need Stepan(sp?) to score two SH's on the same PP against us again. GO SIOUX!!

Yeah that would definitely be worse. But it's 2 years in a row now the Sioux have disappointed and lost in the Final Five to not make the championship game near or on my birthday.

Yeah and I forgot to say. Once again our PP doesn't show up for the game. It needs work big time. It is down right awful. I mean when you can't even score on a 5 minute PP you know something is not clicking. Yes, UMD PK played good but sorry our PP has been horseshit for quite a while now. I won't even mention the PK. Sorry but to go far it'd be great to have special teams that is clicking.

Wow. What a disappointing loss. I know this wasn't the end of the season but I really wanted the Sioux to have the potential of getting a triple crown of college hockey. Really though, that first goal was all on Eidsness. BIG mental mistake on his part. Reminds me of a goal Denver scored on Wisconsin back in the Madison series. We HAVE to win against Wisconsin tomorrow. If we don't...doesn't bode well for us entering the NCAA Tournament.

5 Minute Major on UMD. PP for the Sioux. Still...

Watkins down. Didn't look good. He was grimacing. Looked like his knee

Not the start I wanted to see. The Sioux just gotta win! Tomorrow is my damn birthday and I wanna see them tomorrow playing in the championship game! Come on Sioux!! Gotta put some pucks behind Stalock!

I don't see Colorado College getting rid of Scott Owens the season after winning the MacNaughton Cup. Now next season if CC falls off the earth then he's gonna be in some hot water.

I would. I mean didn't you hear? Kangas is back! With a 3-game winning streak to prove it. Beating SCSU twice and Tech once to compile that win streak....UMD really doesn't stand a chance. I'm hoping UMD does win. I wouldn't mind if we had to see the Gophers again but I'd actually like to see a UMD//UND semifinal match especially since we didn't have the greatest series against them earlier in the season.

Matt Watkins MIA Great picture though!!

Brad Schlossman posted on his blog that the Sioux will be playing in the Friday night game. Whether it's Minnesota or Minnesota-Duluth is yet to be determined.

Well I know that isn't fully true. The 1997 Fighting Sioux squad won the MacNaughton Cup(co-champs) as well as the National Championship. Unless you don't count triple crowning cause they did win the MacNaughton(co-champs), Broadmoor, and National Title that year.

Looks like a 3rd game if necessary is overrated.

Good job! Now go ahead and beat Minnesota on Thursday . I'd like to see a UMD//UND match. Especially since UND lost and tied to UMD in the only series between the two.

I'm glad the Sioux skated around with the MacNaughton Cup and didn't treat it like it was an STD like the Gophers did . Onward to the Final Five!
