Hey, I got my rally cap on.

Porter!!! with the hat trick. Oh rats, their Porter got the first goal. 2-3 Michigan. I STILL have a good feeling about this one.

WoooO!!!!!! We're up to fifth. Win another game and I bet we get a #1 seed!!!!!!!

I think Michigan is about to take some penalties ... 9:30 gone, still 3-1 Michigan.

All that yapping eventually caught up with him. I'd give $20 to hear what he said.

Dang ... Michigan is en fuego. 3-1. We need to stop with the turnovers. Jonny! gave the puck up. Hensick with the nice strip from behind.

(replay) Porter SCORES!!!!! we're down just 1-2!!! I STILL have a good feeling about this one.

Sioux-cia RULES! [down on knees, bows]

U R smart.

Hennessy's three stars: 3 Kaip 2 Porter 1 Oshie Gotta say those look pretty good

Sioux goals (bet I got something wrong....): 3:05 Porter 9 (Genoway, VV) 14:36 Porter 10 (Miller, Genoway) 16:28 Oshie (Duncan) 18:37 Toews (Bina Chorney) 3:16 Bina (Oshie 4:53 Kaip 5 (Watkins, Porter) GWG 8:03 Oshie 15 (Toews, Duncan) 19: Oshie 16 (unassisted) SHG, ENG PP UND 5-8, MI 1-4 Saves: Phil 23, Sauer 19 SOG: UND: 27, MI 28 Talk about your old-time hockey.

Do ya think maybe we'll wear the BLACK jerseys again tomorrow?

Correction: That's the record for a regional tournament....

Absolutely.

All these long TV timeouts mean extra shifts for our top guys, but also for their top guys. Come on PK.

Now that the ref has swallowed his whistle, this one is gonna get ugly. I just hope nobody gets injured the last 6: still 7-5.

JMF Johnson is the best skater I"ve seen this year .... WOW. Not the smartest player, but just wow.

Shots are like 23-22, so that means the goalies are around 70% save pct tonight so far.... Still, Lammy made some big stops at the end of the period....

Lammy just got one back for us. That was HUGE. Michigan is FAST. Still, I like our legs. We just can't get into a run and gun with them now. 7-5 8:45 left #2

Looks like we're getting our legs. I still have a good feeling about this.

Sioux DEFINITELY need to watch how penalties have been called in the tournament. If we don't adjust, we'll be in for a steady stream of interference, slashing, hooking, etc. Minnesota adjusted. Will we?

Minnesota with some terrific puck possession in that period, the Cadets had some long LOOONNNG shifts. Will see if they still have legs in the third. Go AIR FORCE!!!!!!!!!

end of 1, 1-0 cinderella And people think WE'RE obsessed. I've got at least a dozen references to Holy Cross on the TV broadcast....

[doing my best imitation of Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men] "You want my picks? You can't handle my picks!!! You WANT me to pick Michigan! You WANT me to pick Minnesota! You WANT me to pick BC!" You can pick up your Holy Cross jersey and man a seat. I have neither the time or inclination to explain my Sioux support to someone who questions the manner in which I provide it." [/Nicholson] (P.S. I always make the wrong picks in pools. This is my way of trying to ensure the desired outcome would be achieved. We'll know in about 10 hours if it worked.) PPS. Thank you for forgiving my madness.

St Cloud losing yesterday REALLY messed up our ranking in the Pairwise. But if we win today, we should move up in the rankings.
