farce poobah

yes, but we need to get our top 6 scoring forwards out there.....

I do NOT like our choice of lines with 145 to go - Kaip Kozek Fabian....

3:12 to go. I still smell a rally.

Horrible performance by our WJC guys on that sequence.

Thank you for joining the fun. I smell a rally.

Nice power play SIoux, but no goal.. Still 4-2.

Elliott with a great save during the Sioux PP. We need to get one of those every now and then.

Duncan = puck wizard.

Sioux get a break - Lammy able to glove it after the end of a too-long shift where we were trapped. Sioux PP coming up.

Needless, selfish penalty on Forney.

End of 1 -- still 1-1 SOG 18-10 Sioux We have really good jump. We need to keep cycling, and if we can continue that in the second period, we can really wear out their D. Best "cycling" I've seen this year against a strong team like WI. Keep it going SIoux. Beat the BADgers.

If Adam actually were to call all that Badger interference, it helps the Sioux a bunch. Off to a good start in that regard.

HEEEY!!!! GO SIOUX!!!

I think its also VERY likely that with Lee and Chorney about to miss several games, that the coaches want to get Genoway some time on D, in games where they can pick their spots. After they leave, he gets tossed in against opponents' top players.

Cool. Jim, thanks for all your work on this. Much appreciated.

Not to nitpick here, but they played high school basketball on Sunday afternoon in 1941? (Or was it the announcement that Congress had formally declared war, which happened on the 8th?) I had the privilege of visiting Pearl Harbor National Memorial last August. I would encourage ANYONE who goes to Oahu to make the pilgrimage, pay respect to our honored dead, and ponder the fate of our past, present and future freedoms. (Then go enjoy the beautiful island.)

Sioux fans have Regental permission to spell Schmansy however we want.

I think one of the "unintended consequences" of the RPI decrease rule might come later in the season is an increase in the instability of ratings - that last weekend, there will be more permutations of "if so-and-so loses, then their RPI falls", which will affect the RPI of teams they played .... (and theoretically, the RPI of their opponents opponents too). All in all though, it is a change which seems likely to encourage power conference teams to schedule AHA, ECAC, and CHA teams. ...

Okposo's goal Saturday is worthy of an ESPY nomination , simply awesome: http://www.gophersports.com/ViewArticle.db...p;ATCLID=701833 Click on the Okposo goal link...

Its fake, but I wonder if we could get one or two added ... http://www.newmansigns.com/outdooradvertising.html

SKIPPY ALERT!! Please don't feed the trolls.

Thanks for posting the link. Murphy has certainly done well - one more fine young man with ties to UND hockey: Murphy, in his fourth season with the Aeros, ranks first among defensemen in team history in goals (52), assists (127) and points (179). His 262 games played are second most among Aeros

As the case throughout, Kupchella articulates a firm position while giving the recipient a fair chance to change their mind. I'd like to see the higher-ups at Dartmouth get some education from UND. Well done, Mr President.

Iwabuchi, a little tolerance please. That was a low blow and not fair, not in the least. Brasco has a decent point that IF the nickname starts to hurt UND athletics, then its time to change it. In that case, whether we win the legal case or not becomes irrelevant. Fair or not, if it hurts the teams, hurts the programs, then its time to change. That time is not yet here, but it is not too early to ask the question. Chill. Please. Thank you.

OK, here's reasons to be positive about the Sioux chances: ** Nothing has gone right so far this year, and we're still hanging around as a tournament team (on the bubble, but hey). ** When Phil gets healthy, he'll be fine. Not like he fell off a turnip truck and into the lineup; the guy is a proven winner. ** Johnny! and Oshie! haven't been scoring. ** Forney hasn't been 100% healthy yet. Flashes of good things, but not consistently good yet. ** Line combinations are just now getting settled. We'll be in the mix at the end. Doesn't look like a title just yet, but then its a long road between now and March and a lot can happen between now and then.
