farce poobah

triple davv Lapoint got walked around ... 5-3 UNH. Gotta give the blue credit for sticking with it. 2: left.

double davv 4-3 UNH. Turnover in our zone leads to a goal. 3: left

4:19 left, 3-3. faceoff in the UNH zone. back to 5x5. Looks like we lost a little jump after that goal.

Damv. Tie game. Fornitaro.

I'm sorry, you must be thinking of Frazee.

Agree. Lots. We look really good in two zones, but not so good in our own defensive zone.

7:45 left, still 3-2. Oshie-Duncan-Kaip with an excellent shift, keeping the puck 180' from Lammy the whole time.

Oshie with a screened wrister that nearly beat Regan. (Hit him, to be exact.)

now 9: left, 3-2. Now UNH with a flurry. Almost tie it. Would be really frustrating to play this well and not get the W.

11: left, still 3-2. Radke with a chance in front. UND still looking good ...

Sioux with some more good chances off transition. Trupp is coming really close ...

16: left, still 3-2. Long stretch with no whistle and no good chances, ending with a great 4-2 rush by the Sioux. Forney on the doorstep stopped by Regan. Now Genoway off the post.

Bit of controversy. SC led 1-0 late in the 3rd, when a play the Huskies thought was blown down wasn't and Miami scored to tie it. SC gave them all they wanted.

Woo - next year the Sioux play at the GLI. That was announced on the Michigan broadcast ... still 0-0 at the Joe with 5: left. If it goes to OT, they play until its decided, the old fashioned way.

ARGH! I got owned.

In Mpls, 3-3 after 2. Tech and Michigan scoreless late in the 3rd. Denver leading Dartmouth, early, 1-0 RPI leading CC 2-0 after 2. CC playing without 5 players.

End of 2, still 3-2. Zamboni coming out soon.

No Lady Byng for Duncan.

1: left Duncan and Fritsch coincidentals.

1:30 left, 3-2 still SOG 22-19, but we're getting the good chances, UNH with more long uncontested shots. Doesn't seem to matter which line, we're getting pressure.

2: left, still 3-2. On yet another transition, Lapoint (!) with a couple chances right in front of Regan. This sounds like a broken record, but we are repeatedly beating them on transitions.

4: left in the second, still 3-2. Finley, on yet another transition, leads the Sioux 4-3 into the zone. Can't get a good chance.

Duncan with 2 great chances on another transition, then Lapoint stopped. Sioux looking good now.

Vandevelde sets up Watkins for a great chance on the doorstep. Regan right on it. Then UNH comes down with a couple nice chances. Still 3-2, 5: left.

A bit of color for our colleague in the Persian Gulf. Sioux are transitioning really well tonight. We're getting some 3-2 and 3-1 rushes but haven't converted (except for 1). The UNH goal came after a 3-2 shorthanded rush, and we just didn't get our coverage set before it was in the net. Overall, we're looking pretty good. Especially for a Saturday.
