farce poobah

Mav powerplay. 10: left in the first. Still 1-0. 2-0!!!!! Duncan!!!!! Oshie wins the draw in the Mav end, gets a shot, Zach leaves a big rebound and Duncs buried it.

Sweet wrister from 20'. Duncan won't get an assist, but his screen left Zacharias with no eyes.

Sioux powerplay not generating much. Oshie with a long wrister. Duncan fans on a wrister from the Spot ?!? that's a first. Killed off, but a "let's go Sioux!" chant starts up. 7: in. No score. And another Mav penalty.

Bruess' mom, if she was a REAL hockey mom, would have told him to "put on your fight strap, dear" because Kaip would be looking for revenge.

I can see where Mankato has had success, especially against teams that don't like getting hit. They are physical and work that angle well. Fortunately for us, UND plays better in that kind of game. Shinny is not our style. We'll need to be better tonight ... need to create more "riding time", make the Mavs chase us, cycle the puck deep.

Anybody think Mankato players will put their fight straps on tomorrow?

THE FRIDAY CURSE IS BROKEN!!!!!! FINAL 2-1!!! Nice last 90 seconds, we kept ragging the puck and dumping it back deep.... sweet.

2:40 left. still 2-1. Game opening up. Come on Sioux close the door.

Stafford with 3 goals and 2 assists tonight. http://scores.espn.go.com/nhl/boxscore?gameId=280118002 I'd be happy if we can just keep MSU at "1".

Frattin with a good chance ... ARGH!!!! I hope these up-close missed glorious chances don't come back to haunt us.

Ugh. 4 Sioux got caught on one side of the ice, and Berge takes advantage as we can't get back into position. The aggressive PK worked for most of the night ... not there. 8:30 left, MSU penalty. Mall-rat.

Now a trip on us. 10:37 left, still 2-0.

4x3 and Kozek with a great chance.... how did that not go in!?!?! Now Frattin down low ...

Gotta give both guys marks for old-fashioned courage. They took off their helmets and dropped the gloves. I hope it doesn't spark the home team, who is not generating a lot despite our lack of offense either. Edit - no sooner typed than Kalinski with a quality scoring chance between the dots.

Agree. Give Kozek credit for a non-scoresheet assist by drawing two Mavs. THat's why Bina got so wide open at 25' right in front.

BINA!!!!!!!BINA!!!!!!!BINA!!!!!!!BINA!!!!!!!BINA!!!!!!!BINA!!!!!!!BINA!!!!!!!BINA!!!!!!!BINA!!!!!!!BINA!!!!!!! 2-0!!!!

Oshie going off slowly... that can't be good. UND PP 15: left, still 1-0. Kalinski is good. He'd get one of my 3 stars.

More coincidental minors 16:25 left. Lammy may need to shut the door the rest of the way. We're not generating much puck possession.

Game on in Mankato .... let's seee how our legs are this period.

If you have comcast, its on. Mine in Fridley is channel 23.

One time where SOG reflect the play.

Mankato with a good chance, but Lammy covers the rebound quickly.

Kozek off the post .. 2: left in the 2nd.

Finley saved a goal there by tying up a Maverick in front. Still 1-0.

ROFLMAO!
