UND WFO78

Enough about the series last weekend, let's get excited about 3 games this weekend. We may even, arguably, be considered the home team this weekend! My Predictions Thursday: UND 6 Duluth 2 Friday: SCSU 5 Wisco 4 UND 3 Denver 2 OT Saturday: Denver 4 Wisco 2 UND 3 SCSU 0 Of course I am a little bias toward my beloved Sioux Cannot wait to get to the X and see the best college hockey in the nation this weekend - Can work go any faster?

Does anybody on here use USCHO.com for all you college hockey scores and stories from other leagues? I do, but I have a bone to pick with them when it comes to covering my beloved Fighting Sioux. Most of the season the rarely have front page pictures or links to anything Fighting Sioux. Then we play our rival Minnesota in a first round playoff match-up which would, no doubt, have a lot of drama surrounded by exceptional college hockey - On USCHO.com hopepage, narely a mention of the series Ugh! Now, one of our players (Frattin) throws a questionable hit, gets a 5-minute major, then finds out Monday he will be suspended for our WCHA final five play-in game this Thursday because of the hit. Guess what? USCHO.com has the story as a homepage headline, equipt with picture of our "awesome" jersey and everything - all with negative connotations. Where is the love USCHO.com? Every year we are a top contender in D1 college hockey, AND we have a large fan base unusual compared to our geographical location, so wouldn't a college hockey based website like to follow some of our stories and games closer than say Ferris State, Northern Mich, etc...? Not to downplay the reputations at those schools, I would just like to be mentioned along with them. Or did we do something to deserve the cold shoulder?

Saturday: Gregoire Sunday : Vandy

Friday - Gregoire Saturday - Duncs

bump! Still looking

Hello all! I am going to be in GF for the CC weekend and would really like to attend the Saturday game.. Please let us know if you have two seats for sale! GO SIOUX PM ME Please!

Sold!

(2) tickets for final five available.... southwest corner, lower bowl..... great seats.... great UND fans around you... GO Sioux

I figure BE or Walski.... BUT, I thought Harrington looked like a very good positional goaltender on Sunday - although we didn't see many shots (2), he looked the part - that's all I am saying - He looked the part

I like the fact that we will get tested right away (BU is a definitly top tier team). I think we will keep it close and one team will get a great goal from a new face (ie. #17) in the final few minutes to pull out the victory!!! UMASS will be tough early, but I feel our depth wil take over and we will win a 5-2 type game... MY BIG QUESTION? Who will be in goal! GO SIOUX

Vandy - FridayDuncs - Saturday

I may be FIGHTING SIOUX biased, but here are my thoughts on the line pairings: We have a very talented group of upperclassmen with a HIGH potential bunch of fresh. and sophs!!! The lines will rotate - as they always do - but, Hak and co. will do their best to put the best lines out there based on previous performances and practices. That being said: At Home (with final say on line pairing): Our top line will skate all over opponents (3) and (4) lines... Duncan will center and have the best cast to put up big numbers Line #2 will outskate the slowest line of opponents, and VV will be the centerpiece of many scoring plays. Line 3 or 4 (not the checking line) will play consistant hockey against opponent (1) and (2) lines, and have some big contributions throughout - although, they will also be slowed at times. The checking line will hold-up many WCHA teams (1) ans (2) lines with big hits and defensive stands. All-in-all we should be high scoring at home with Dunc and VV fighting for a league/national scoring title.... On the road: Other teams will try to match our speed and scoring ability on lines (1) and (2) with minimal success. We will have low scoring games, but may make up for it on the blue line and with some "new" scoring threats from the middle line. Also, it will be tough for teams to match their scoring line with one of our bottom two - as UND will have some "new" scorers which they may have to focus on more than their own scoring threat. On the road we will score a littl less than at home, but a defensive mind will help us win some close ones. Eidsness will start working Friday's with Walski doing the clean-up on Saturday.. Somewhere mid-season one will prove himself (or the other be hurt) and bring us deep into the national playoff picture. I love the chance to watch Hextall - grit with a scoring touch, and Gregoire, who may be the rookie of the year if he can come close to matching what he has done in the past. MVP - Duncan MVP - Runner up - VV Rookie - Gregoire Rookie runner-up - Towes (will be a lot better next year, although a stud this year) Goalie - I am riding the Eidsness bandwagon Defensive MVP - Jones steps it up to elite Defensive runner-up - I see Malone becoming a fixture (against a lot of Sioux Sports predictions)

what song (and by whom) do the sioux usually come out to??

We are looking for two season tickets for either or both nights... Please let me know if you are selling any

CC in 2 - easy wins UND in 2 - close game Friday, 6-2 win Saturday UMD in 3 - Very close and interesting series UM in 2 - They are a very desperate team SCSU in 3 - big goals from a high powered offense are the key UM over UMD in play in game - close one, worth getting there early for UND over SCSU - scoring a ton of goals as a make-up for this past weekend CC over UM in a great game - "great" meaning the goofs get man-handled CC and UND is too close to call - I will be there cheering for my Sioux and think we will win a great one!!!!!

I am looking for (2) playoff series tickets for each night... willing to pay a fair price! Send me a personal message if you have anything and are willing to sell... Thanks

Thanks to AZSioux for all the hard work this year.... I really enjoy the game, and hope to play again next year.. I took the #1 seed into the playoffs and threw it all away with my poorest week of the year! Good luck to everyone and here's hoping a Duncan Hat Trick rings up a ton of points!!!! Climber78

Good Luck to everyone who made it to the top 16 playoffs! I look forward to the competition this week..... wish I could pick my fav. Sioux player!!! Strange Brew, where from?

Looking to buy 2 Sat. Night Denver Tix, any spot in arena..... Thanks, PM Me...

Not in response to a pecific posting, but "all this negativity around here - SUCKS".... I went through this the last two years when friends and co-workers were counting the Sioux out! Never count the premier college hockey program in the country out! The Sioux have look pretty damn good all year - they have the ingredients in Lammy, a solid and bigger defense, and many dynamic playmakers on offense (oshie, duncan, Vandy, watkins, and many others). They have looked better than the opposing team in most series, and just have yet to put 120 minutes of total hockey together.... It will come, and everyone will suddenly be Sioux-per Fans again and predicting sweeps and playoff wins... In closing, I would like to predict a hard fought Friday night one goal win, followed by a Saturday blow-up by my favorite player to watch Oshie - Final Saturday UND 6 SCSU 1! Welcome back to the bandwagon most of you have already decided to give up on the best entertainment/talent for hundreds of miles around..... Joli!

I have 2 student tix..... if you think that will work

Here's hoping someone has found out they have to miss the game....... I am looking for 2 tickets both/either night for the series.... Willing to pay..... No preference of where the seating is.... There is a few beers in it!!!!

I predict a close game on Friday - Sioux 3-1 .... Saturday the Sioux will come out strong and put up some goals - 6-1 Duncan will work the magic from in close, and Malone and Chorney will set the defensive pace.... Expect exceptional goaltending all weekend, but with pressure the Sioux will put up some goals (35+ shots on Saturday).

I was not speaking of any major mistakes, I just noticed some hesitency in the attack zone when 5 on 5. You are correct about his shooting ability, I am just stating that it will take some time for his complete game to show up. Good observations about the powerplay, as I forgot to mention this in my post..
