UND WFO78

Trupp - A speedster who will only continue to improve as he adjusts to the college game! He has flashes of superstar in him, and I am excited for him to have some college weight training in the coming years. I think we can expect him to contribute early on, but these contributions may be streaky! Malone - A big guy with a nack for finding the puck. He was my favorite rookie to watch these past two weekends. I believe he has a lot of adjustments to make to the college game, especially in adapting to the speed. But, I like that he is a powerful forward who is not scared to jump into the middle of things. Here's to hoping he turns into a Brandon Bochenski type forward. Frattin - How amazing must it be to play with Oshie and Duncan as a rookie. I have see some good things out of him, but have also seen some mistakes. He will have pleanty of opportunity to rack up the assists this year, and I predict he will become somewhat of a scorer towards seasons end. Watch out for him during the WCHA playoffs and on! LaPoint - He is skinnier than I had imagined, so I cannot wait to see him as the collage weight training starts to add the pounds. I have watched him play on the line, and he seems fit to be out 5th or 6th defenseman! I think he will be streaky throughout the year, but I am excited to watch him progress. Marto - I have not seen enough of him to have too much of an impression, but, during the Manitoba game I was impressed with his willingness to get in the middle of the action. He seems to play bigger than his size indicates, and I think he will be an important part of this team in the future. Davidson - Not much to go on here. I am excited to see him lay some checks on the Northeastern team this weekend (if he makes the trip). I love his size, and that size alone can keep teams on their heels. We will find out more about this large forward in the coming weeks. Overall - I am impressed with the freshman class. I feel this group complements the team well, and am very excited to see them mature a FIGHTING SIOUX! One point of emphasis is the size this group brings to the SIOUX. It has been a while since we have had such a large group of skaters. Lets see if they can all gel together and make a run at the title!

Probably a little bias... But, I believe it is our time to shine!

OK. Maybe we could work something out? Let me know because we will be down on Thursday morning and could meet somewhere. 121.00 would be awesome, and we may have to buy you a beer or two for the troubles!

Thanks..... Nothing yet, but another chance to find some tickets!

Does anyone know what the deal with final five tickets is? Are packages done and only single game tickets left? Anyone have a package to sell? We have a room and no tickets yet!!

How much?

Looking for 3 final five tickets to buy

How many times can one guy "try" to shoot in one game? My favorite example? 5 on three against the sioux with 30 or so seconds left in the second period, MN trying to gain the zone for one last setup goal. But, "Mr. Me" scates accross blueline and takes first shot from just inside line. The shot is into the 3 Sioux defenders, gets blocked and cleared. End of opportunity to tack one on during that 5 on 3! Ha! Wonder what coach had to say about that one?

Tonight 4-3 Sioux in OT (Duncan with ot winner) Saturday 5-1 Sioux (outstanding game from Jordan!)
