WELCOME TO THE 2008-2009 VERSION OF SIOUX SURVIVOR!! RULES: Anyone can enter. Only 1 entry per person Each night the Sioux play, you are allowed to select 1 Sioux player you think will score a goal. Your player must score or you are eliminated from the competition. If your player scores a goal, you will move on to the next night the Sioux play. You will again select 1 Sioux player you think will score a goal, HOWEVER, you may not select the player you used in the previous round(s) as you can only use each player 1 time, and 1 time only. Again, if your player does not score a goal, you are eliminated. If your player does score a goal, you will again move on to the next night the Sioux play. Last one standing is the SURVIVOR! ***You MUST post your selection by replying to this thread.*** All selections must be in 1/2 hour prior to game time(ex. game time 737p, picks must be in by 700p). We will be using this boards clock as the official clock. If you qualify but miss a game, you are automatically ELIMINATED from the game. If all people are eliminated in the same night, all players that were eligible for that game will carry over to the next Sioux game as though all their players scored the previous night. You are allowed to post "if I make it" picks for a weekend series. For example: Sioux play Fri/Sat. You can make your picks for both games, please post these in the same post. Once your selection is made, you can NOT change it. Be aware of who is dressing and who is not, it is YOUR responsibility to find out! Siouxsports.com will be used for all official stats and time keeping. The winner of this round will win a 3x5 hand signed photo of TJ Oshie. A big thanx to AZSioux for providing the prizes!!

Anyone who wants a lesson in playing NHL 09 on Xbox live, just shoot me a friend request and we'll get it on. My gamertag is: RedFrogND

That was AWESOME!! Especially the mock fight at the end. Thanx for the share!

We're up 57-43 as of now. Chicago is CRUSHING Rimouski, 72-28, and it looks like we would get Detroit(68-32 over Toronto as of now) if we can get by Montreal. GO SIOUX!!

Oshie is playing on NHL Network right now. St. Louis is tied up with Dallas 3-3, 2nd intermission. They did an interview with him during the 1st intermission. Basically talked about why he left UND and what he thinks of his chances of making the Big Club.

I was thinking more along the lines of Guinness Beer: 'BRILLIANT!'

Who would you most like to see in the 2009 Frozen Four in DC Boston College: 27.83 % Michigan: 16.98 % Michigan State: 12.50 % North Dakota: 34.91 % U of New Hampshire: 7.78 % Total Votes: 424

Went for $4,550.00.

Definitely frustrating. Gonna make it tough for me to wanna travel further than the cities for another Sioux appearance in a Frozen Four.

The hit happened on our end of the ice, and to me it was definitely a cheap shot. Chorney had already gotten rid of the puck and was getting ready to head to the bench when the BC player came in to finish a check. When Chorney moved out of the BC players way, he stuck out his leg and we could hear the collision of knee on knee all the way up in the club section. I was calling for a 5 and there was no penalty at all. Type of thing that would promote the 2 ref system.

For those coming into Denver today, there is snow on the ground, and it is still snowing. There doesn't seem to be too much snow and the roadways just look to be wet. I25 is still moving by at a quick pace and I've only heard emergency vehicles once so far this morning. Wind may be a factor on visibility in the open. BE SAFE!!

Also, the Quality Inn Central has an OUTDOOR pool, NO indoor pool available. FYI.

Pulled in to the Quality Inn Central about 20 mins ago, on the 6th floor and the place is already flooded with Sioux fans!! Other than a MAJOR rain shower about 45 miles north of Denver, the trip went well. Also damn the south wind and it was howling!! Edit: Where in the hell are the mountains??

Allrighty, I'm heading off to bed, gotta be up early in the morn to hit the road. Safe travels to all heading to Denver!

After looking at The National Weather Service website it also looks like if you take US85 south to Spearfish, SD then I90 over to Sundance, WY and south may avoid the majority of the storm also, at the very least catch the western part of it. I'm expecting to hit some rain on the way down, but not enough to slow us down at all. We are leaving between 5-6a from Devils Lake and plan on hitting Denver about 6p local time. Any ideas on rush hour traffic in Denver?

To the Fighting Sioux, Ok boys, 49+ hrs to game time, the opportunity is within your grasp. I'm sure you've heard how fast the Eagles are, or how Gerbe is unstoppable. Well, we're not going to let them spread their wings, we're going to jump on them and pound them before they even leave the nest. Let's play our game, play smart and we will dominate this heralded team from the east. Remember that crest on your chest, what it stands for, the tradition that comes with it, now, let's go out there and show them what NORTH DAKOTA hockey is all about! Signed, "THE" Sioux Nation.

Every Sioux Player Needs 2 Win #8!!

I'm a little disappointed in the lack of articles/coverage from the top 3 college hockey sites regarding the Frozen Four. I know that they will probably be pumping out stuff early this coming week, but this past week has just drug on without any real media coverage.

Section 250 row 2 Seats 8-10. There will be 3 of us.

Driving from Devils Lake, leaving early Wednesday morning, staying at the Quality Inn Central (Where Al's bus is staying). Everyone who is driving it should put something in their back window to signify your destination, that way we can recognize each other if we happen to meet on the open road. We're taking US85 south to I90 over to Sundance, WY and south again from there to I25. Going to avoid going through the Black Hills.

WOO!!! That's where we're staying!!

Looking for a little advice from those who are driving or have driven to Denver from NoDak. Is the best way to go via US 83 or US 85?

Thanx to PCM. 2008 Frozen Four Coach's Show Recap

Quality Inn Central, wife had enough points to get us 3 nights free and the last night cost us $65 I think? Only about 3 miles from the Pepsi Center. Free shuttle service in a 5 mile radius. Doesn't appear to have the best reviews, but we're not planning on spending too much time in the room. Also conveniently located at I-25/I-70 junction.

This is an AWESOME picture!!
