God I love that guy! It's a Festivus MIRACLE!

For the REST OF US!!! WHERE'S MY POLE?!?!?!

John Deere I hope

Now that's just mean, plain nasty. Mpls is at about a foot, maybe a little more. It will be morons on ice ALL day long tomorrow.

Another thing that this band of idiots has culled in their herd is the stripes making "statements" with their calls. When one of those idiots has to scowl and point at the player when he makes the call you can just tell that he's calling it against the player, and not because it was a simple penalty. Mason is one of the worst at this, and of course the blind Shepherd, especially when calling them against Sioux players. Hey, egomaniac, the game ain't about you. It's about the players and the product they put on for the fans. Drives me insane!

Now those were the day!!

OH! I thought Duncan was going to get the empty netter!

I couldn't be more proud. Well, not at least until he steps on the ice for the first time in a FIGHTING SIOUX jersey!

This is a little bit late in the game, but here's a tech nerd solution that I used last weekend during the football game. It actually came from their web help section. But it has really made my webcasts a LOT better. Maybe it will help for next weekends games. ------------- 20. When I click on an event link at game time I get the message

I think it did once during the first period, but I wasn't sure if it was the webcast or my 20 month old little guy chanting "LET'S GO SIOUX!!" and bumping the laptop.

This Larson guy is a complete teebag! "The Sioux are barely hanging on right now." What an idiot! The Sioux just spent 2 minutes cycling the puck in front of the Pio net. What a toolbox!

I've been watching the entire night and this is the absolute BEST webcast I have ever watched! Clear as can be and not a single skip all night.

Great stat sheet! Thanks for research! Wow! Gregoire off to a monster start!! Looks like Sioux Falls is the team to beat this season. And Blood just be on the power play or getting some serious playing time. Both would be great, but in any case it's great to see him on the board with a respectable number of assists. Is it Friday yet? These off weeks really are tough to take.

Coach Captain Amazing, First of all, I apologize for the graphic language, I was merely speaking in terms I thought you would best understand.

One more thing. I

Wow, must be an off week. I haven't read this much piss and fire on here since the Sioux/Goofer series. Sad thing is, it's a circular firing ring. Soohockey15, I can empathize, I made the same mistake of calling Radke a hack during the Mich Tech game. So I don

City/State you were born and where you live now? Born in G.F. grew up in Devils Lake, ND. Live in Maple Grove, MN Did you attend UND? 88 - 93 (redshirt for Sioux FB, was told college wasn't a race ) Favorite current sioux player? Oshie and Chorney. Favorite all time sioux player/s? Jim Archibald, Bob Joyce, Phil Sykes, Zach Parise, Jonathon Toews Favorite all time NON sioux WCHA player and team? The St. Cloud State Cullen (I think it was Matt) and Junior Lessard (UMD). I would say Collorado College, like their style, similar to Sioux without the hitting. Are you a season ticket holder? Yup! Have been since the new REA opened.

Good Comedy!!

And to make it worse, I just accidentally listened to the Fat Head Dumbay brag about how the goofer nation held on by the skin of their teeth to beat the landcows 4 - 3 for their FIRST WCHA win. Now all I need is for someone to come in and kick my dog and the night will be completely $hitty.

That's fine, really, until Hak starts calling me for game tips, I'm just like most other folks on the board, just a diehard fan giving his 2 cents. Here's what I was trying to say, look at the lines below, once you get past the 1st line, we don't have a lot of guys that are used to playing 2nd or even 3rd line, and scoring a lot of goals in a season. GENoway doesn't know if he's O or D night to night. Kaip just found his shot, 3 years late. Watkins has always been a role player. 3rd line. Kozek, again, just found his shot, spent a lot of time on grinder lines. Trupp is a freshman, but playing really well. Martens was 4th line or healthy scratch quite a bit last season. 4 line is 2 freshman and a Sophmore with decent, but not great ice time from last season. But that 4th line played GREAT tonight, you could hear it in Hak's comments and TH's. Give those guys time get the feel for the speed of the WCHA and they will score a lot of goals. Same with the othe guys, they are taking on different roles than they are used to and need to mature into those positions. I would agree with you that on paper we have a much older class than in the past, no 15 or 18 Freshman dressing and playing. But they just don't have the same level of experience, yet, but they will and they'll finish with number 8 in '08! Also, Hak and Blaise have totally different styles of playing the schedule, and I think they both work great! Blaise drove his guys, in practice and games, to get that #1 ranking and hold on like grim death. Hak looks to build chemistry and get the right guys playing together and on the same page before they make the run. They both end up in the same place, the Frozen Four, Hak just hasn't gotten his hardware, YET! Just a farm kid from NoDak opinions after watching Sioux Hockey for 25 or 30 years. 16 Ryan Duncan--29 Chris VandeVelde--7 T.J. Oshie 5 Chay Genoway--17 Rylan Kaip--20 Matt Watkins 10 Andrew Kozek--19 Evan Trupp--8 Ryan Martens 22 Brad Malone--11 Darcy Zajac--21 Matt Frattin 6 Zach Jones--4 Taylor Chorney 2 Joe Finley--28 Robbie Bina 25 Jake Marto--3 Derrick LaPoint

I wouldn't sink that far down just yet, this is one hell of a tough schedule and the boys have been on the road a LOT. And after the Junior class "stars" we have a lot of young players and a lot of players that don't have a ton of ice time. Give them some time to settle the lines, get the right guys together and you'll see lightening on ice. The Freshman are going to score a lot of goals for us this year, almost all of them are playing above their WCHA experience level right now and again, it's a hell of a tough schedule. I'd rather have them play these tough games now and struggle. Get the $hit kicked out of them so they know how it feels so when we get to Feb and March, they won't let it happen to them again. We have half tools ready, defense is great and Lammy (even after tonight) is at playoff form in November. We need to work on the PP and our scoring, and that will always take time as well. I seem to remember a Toews kid not exactly burning up the nets the first half of the season, but scoring at will in the second half. Our coaches and players know how to finish at the right time of the season, let's give them a chance to get things figured out and play like the team we know they can be.

You could feel it coming tonight, bound to go down one of these weekends and with no video or TV, LOTS of Sioux fans on tonight.

Still plenty of time left, come on boys!! Let's see a 3rd line rally in the corner and drop one by tool!

It's sad when one of the biggest schools in the BIG 10 does NOT show their nationally ranked hockey team and the engineering students from Michigan Tech have BOTH games broadcast on the net. Guess they're more concerned about drinking. Not that there's ANYTHING wrong with that.
