Sorry HockeyMom, I disagree with you on this one. I remember the same discussions happening just 30 years ago about Sioux women's basketball, which drew 300 fans a game at the time. Lot of people said they would never draw as much as the men. Within my lifetime, which I hope goes for the next 30 years, I believe the Ralph will indeed fill for UND women's hockey. It will take sustained success, and a heated rivalry. (can you spell M-i-n-n-e-s-o-t-a?) I'll call you in 2036 to say I told you so. And to watch your avatar's daughter notch a hat trick against the Gophers.

Phil and family - For whatever it is, I hope it goes away soon and you can get back to doing what you love soon. Best wishes for a swift recovery.

Just to clarify, I don't think everyone is making mistakes. Some guys playing very stupid. Some guys working hard and smart. Very frustrating.

Too many mental mistakes by veteran players who have no excuse. Both last night and tonight. I think the coaches should just bench everyone.

Miller with a great chance. 2:30 left still 3-2.

Too bad otherwise, because Lammy has played OK tonight.

Now its Finley puck-watching. Geez. This team is playing like they just don't give a damn.

Brilliant rush by Oshie-Duncan-Toews. Elliott with the game-saving stop.

Porter with the mental mistake leaving Dowell guy wide open. Unacceptable.

An awful PK that time.

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.
