Outside of the CHA and the Atlantic, what conference do you think poses the biggest threat for a cindarella team to win their conference tourney? How solid is Clarkson in the ECAC? I'm thinking that there will be 3 autobids making the tourney that wouldn't have made it as "at large" bids.

Welcome to Game #3 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 assigned the most popular selection for that specific 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. 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! All first round picks must be submitted by 700p central time Friday, Feb. 15th. For those that don't know, AZSioux has agreed to provide a copy of all 5 Fighting Sioux National Championship games on DVD to the winner. Past winners: Game #1: Nodakvindy (79 entries) Game #2: NorthDakotaHockey (84 entries) Game #3: I will not be updating the picks until Thursday, Feb 14th, as I can only edit the post within a 24 hour period. I'm also looking to attend this series, so I may be looking for someone to help keep it running over the Denver weekend.

This is what I want to know? Only 3 seconds left and a faceoff at center ice, why have Oshie out there?

They gave Zajac a 5 minute cross-check? Wow.

Congrats NorthDakotaHockey!! Get in contact w/ AZSioux to claim your DVD's!! Well played! I will post a new thread for game #3. Next Sioux game is in 2 weeks against the Pioneers!!

I thought that they couldn't call penalties after the refs leave the ice? They can change them to correct them, but I didn't think they could add them.

I'm taking Kozek

I'm taking Evan Trupp with my pick.

Sorry, but neither of you qualified for the 2nd round. Please check back after each Sioux game to see if we have a winner and will be starting a new game. Thanx!

The wife and I are in that video. Towards the beginning, the 1 wearing a Stafford jersey sitting next to the one wearing the Stafford shirt....that'd be us!!

I am looking for 2 lower bowl tickets to each night of the Denver/Sioux series Feb. 15/16. If you have 2 available, please either send me a PM, reply to this post or send me an email here THANX!

I'll be updating the picks on Friday morning, and then throughout the day on Friday. I'm taking..... I don't know yet, I'll pick on Friday.

Been watching the Devils pretty religiously over the last 2 years, and Parise is totally out of sorts right now. He is no where to be found during the games. He still skates around with a lot of energy, but the puck is just not his friend right now. On another note, watching Zajac this year compared to last year, WOW, what a difference. You can tell he has gotten stronger and is incredibly faster this year than he was previously. I think he has really turned out into a solid 2 way center for the Devils. He's gone on a little run while Parise has been slumping, but I think that is because he seems to be shooting more and not looking to make that 1 extra pass. Devils are just in a funk right now, and I think they will snap out of it once Parise gets out of his slump.

It's in the rules....I guess it could have been stated a little clearer.

Congratulations to the 24 survivors listed below, you are all moving on to the Friday game versus Minnesota. Remember, you can NOT use the same player twice in the same game! All picks must be posted by 630p central time on Friday, Feb. 1st. Failure to submit your pick on time will result in you automatically being assigned Ryan Duncan, the most popular pick of the 1st round. 1RedFrog - Chris Vande Velde 3NorthDakotaHockey - TJ Oshie 4yzerman19 - Chris Vande Velde 12Andrea6977 - Chris Vande Velde 22brianvf - TJ Oshie 23Sioux-Hockey-Fan - TJ Oshie 26reformed gphr fan - Matt Watkins 27GU Sioux - Chris Vande Velde 28Oxbow6 - TJ Oshie 34Upper Deck - TJ Oshie 35Washburn Sioux - Chris Vande Velde 39seeboys - Matt Watkins 42richthorpe - TJ Oshie 44Old Time Hockey - Chris Vande Velde 47Stack - TJ Oshie 50Franchise - TJ Oshie 52Sundog - Chris Vande Velde 53andthehomeoftheSIOUX - TJ Oshie 66draftsman74 - Matt Watkins 68HeidiSioux62 - Chris Vande Velde 77Siouxper 7 - TJ Oshie 78UND85 - Chris Vande Velde 80petey23 - Chris Vande Velde 83FSSD - Matt Watkins 24 remain alive.

Sorry bout that Jim, that was typed when I was planning on only doing this once. I have fixed it to show "rounds" now. Thanx for pointing it out!

CLOSED

Thanx Game has me kind of hooked too. I am at work, and am finding myself checking this thread quite often so I can update the picks. I also noticed that there were a lot of people registering and posting their first post in this thread. Hopefully it draws more people into the already great topics we have here.

Sorry, but he'll have to find access to post his picks. It just helps keeping people from posting for family members and others and keeps things more simplified.

New Thread is up for the new game Please post picks there. THANX!
