  1. Saturday - Oshie
  2. I'll go with Genoway
  3. Must be a lot of Sioux fans at the Ooch, as the response to Finley's goal was pretty damn loud.
  4. With CC's lost depth this could put the league title back into play.
  5. Yep, already confirmed it. We'll see if this starts a run on the Z-man.
  6. I'll go with Zajac
  7. You were just off by a game.
  8. Yep. My thanks too to RedFrog and AZSioux. I was fully expecting Duncs to bag the empty netter to keep this alive another night. It's funny that we both could have survived by doing nothing since Trupp scored. Good luck to everyone on the next go round.
  9. Yeah baby! Way to go, Osh!
  10. Actually Manbearpig is the tiebreaker. But seriously, how come no one is looking at the real root of the problem - the Commissioner. Really, what has he done for the benefit of the league. The officiating is mediocre at best. There is no league-wide TV deal. The NCAA tourney selection criteria were changed in a way that seriously harmed the league and will continue to do so. About the only good thing I can think of is the use of replay on goals, but obviously even that hasn't gone smoothly.
  11. I'll take Oshie.
  12. I have a feeling Oshie is going to put one in too.
  13. As am I!
  14. Even though I'm tempted to go with a wild card again, I'll go with Ryan Duncan. Think the PP will be clicking again tonight.
  15. woohoo!! Thanks Robbie! I might have to go get some powerball tickets now.
  16. I'll go with Bina
  17. It's nice that UND is finally in this again, but we should be hosting the thing. Also, why UMass along with BU. I like that all leagues are represented. I'd rather have Clarkson or St. Lawrence in this, so we get some common opponents points against the ECAC schools. That's always helpful in the PWR.
  18. Don't believe it does either. Do you think Cornhuskers as a name is a negative for Nebraska? How about Sooners for Oklahoma, or Longhorns for Texas? It's a team nickname, and one that has some relevance to both the history of this area and a major academic program.
  19. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnstorming A better explanation than I could give. Basically daredevil pilots, the precursor to the Blue Angels and the like.
  20. I think Barnstormers would be a great replacement name. In addition to the potential for a cool logo it also plays into UND's marquee academic program. It also relates somewhat to our rural nature and I do not believe any other college team has it for a nickname.
  21. I've got an extra pair of tickets for the Saturday night Sioux-Pioneers game. Make an offer.
  22. I kind of like the idea of retiring the Nickel. Let's donate it to the Heritage Center or the State Museum in Pembina. In the same vein, and in keeping with the increased costs of playing at DI and inflation, how about playing for the Quarter. It could be a mockup of the ND state quarter. The only downside as that the quarter design also have a Bison on it, but I'd be willing to live with that.
  23. City/state born in and reside in now? grew up in central ND, now a nomad, currently working in Boston Did you attend UND? Yep, class of 96 Favorite current player? Duncan, Chorney Favorite all-time Sioux player(s)? Landon Wilson, Teeder Wynne, Curtis Murphy, David Hoogsteen Favorite all-time NON Sioux WCHA player/team? Denver Goalie Sinuhe Wallinheimo/St. Lawrence Are you a season ticket holder? Have been, but not now Got my college hockey fix tonight watching the Hockey East leaders Northeastern drop Lowell. That is starting to look like a really nice win for for the Sioux.
  24. I think it's a little too early to make that claim for the West. For the West and Midwest regionals over the next two years, three of the four locations are campus sites. It will be interesting to see when the 2010 and 2011 sites are announce how that goes. Attendance for the regionals has still been spotty. Denver was good, but I think that was also because Frozen Four tickets were tied to the Regional. I suppose you could see that for a regional at the X, but there just aren't the mid-range size arenas in the West that there are in the East, unless you go to someplace like Des Moines. That would probably be a huge failure.

    DII Polls

    GVSU is only #11 in the watered down BCS version of the rankings. The real Masseyrating, which includes Margin of Victory, places GVSU #1 and UND #2. Also, there isn't really any intermingling of DI and DIII in hockey so it isn't really fair to be critical of those ratings. If there were more interdivisional games, I am sure they would be properly ranked.
