In my opinion I think the game wasn't really close at all. The Gophers dominated the Sioux on 5x5 play and they were skating around our defenseman like they were pylons. It could've been a win if the team kept there emotions in check and didn't commit all those penalties in the first. If we didn't score those two powerplay goals it could've easily been 3-0 gophers.

Should be a great game. Both teams will be ready to play and I think it's gonna be a shootout with our great Fighting Sioux coming out top by a goal or two!

It's you that makes it even sweeter if the Gophers and Sioux meet up in the second round and UND wins.

I'm pretty sure Coach Hakstol is making sure that there only focusing on Michigan right now. He's said many times that there taking it at game at a time. And if it's that case then there focus is on Michigan.

Doesn't the Fighting Sioux Sports Network pick up the regional games and feed it onto there channel? I remember watching all past regional games on there including the BU, BC games where we won the Beanpot as well as that loss to a team which I will not say by the score of 1-0.

Any chance that the Sioux will be sporting the Nike swifts for one of the regional games? They've began to grow on me. Pretty darn nice.

Norton hasn't cursed us. Looks like he changed his mind.

Well bring it on Michigan.

Yeah it's inevitable now >.>

They still would blame Lee if it was a different defenseman But really I believe this loss is a learning experience and shows that there are other teams that are playing at the same level as the Sioux. They played pretty much really stupid in the 1st period by committing those stupid penalties. And as Hakstol has always said "keep ourselves out of the box." They sure didn't. Since it seems like the Gophers and Sioux will be placed in the same regional if they do meet up in the 2nd round I think the Sioux will be able to amend for the loss and beat the Gophers.

Congrats to your teams winning. Hopefully the Sioux and I as a fan will be able to have the final laugh at you and the gophers. So here's to hoping we meet in the regional finals since it seems like we're being placed in the same region.

Thanks Slap Shot, and even though it does suck that we lost, Minnesota deserved to win. They beat us fair and square tonight. And it looks like we might be meeting the gophers real soon cause it looks like we'll be placed in the same regional.

I think I'm already going through withdrawal....is it the NCAA tournament yet? I need to see a Sioux win

Thank you, and good luck to your football team in the Gateway. Let's drive for #8!!

I'm pretty sure that if the situation was the other away around and in front of a huge majority of Sioux fans. They'd probably be doing the sieve chant on Frazee as well. So there's no point in calling the gophers fans at the game classless. Now doing a "We're still second" chant after losing a game. That'd be classless. Yes you St. Cloud fans

Don't feed the trolls. They'll all leave eventually. And thanks to all the classy gopher fans who've posted on how good of a game this was. btw do I remember a NDSU football team losing to a bunch of Goldy Gophers who can't play football at all? And I was actually rooting for you!

I'm just absorbing the gopher fans who are taunting. They got beat by the Sioux twice in there own home and finally get one on us. Let's just hope the Sioux can put them back in there place if we do meet in the NCAA tournament

To soothe some of the anguish I'll watch the Bina goal on Frazee.

All I can say this loss will never hurt as much as the 1-0 loss to Denver even if it's losing to the Gophers. I have to admit that gopher goal was really sweet. But that Robbie Bina goal will always be better in my mind In the end I hope everyone has a good St. Patricks Day! Only lost once to Minnesota teams this year so far. Not bad I'd have to say. The state of hockey sure is better than North Dakota

Well congrats to Minnesota. You definitely deserved to win it today. They dominated the Sioux 5x5 the whole game and our defense was just playing like crap and letting the gophers shoot at lammy. And guess who was on defense when that guy scored? Brian Lee...any coincidence ? Well, onwards to the tournament. Let's hope the team can learn from this and pick themselves up for the tournament. Maybe the loss isn't such a bad thing. Best for it to happen now before the tournament. Congrats Minnesota, and hopefully we'll get you back in the ncaa tournament.

damn....Minnesota wins

We should've also won a national title that year to Drop that puck! Hope the Sioux come out strong and put one behind Frazee.

The sioux have to beat the gophers. They beat us last time we played them for the Broadmoor so we gotta return the favor and it'd be even sweeter while doing it in OT. Go Sioux!!

yeah it seems like the defense is running out of gas. They've been reacting really slow and sluggish.
