Chris, thanks for the link. Good stuff. You're right, there is NOTHING better than watching hockey all day.

Interesting. Got a weblink on that story?

Gotta go with the home teams, much as I'd love to see an upset in the 1-2-3 vs 8-9-10 matchups, and move UND out of the 4-5 playin game, I can't see it. Sweep Mavs and I think we're into the NCAA's. Take 2-3 and it will require perhaps 2 wins at the X. Mankato's top line makes me very nervous - Backes would be on the top line of any team in the nation.

I just think a gifted scoring forward should get more than 7 points even strength** over the course of the WCHA season. In the other 24 games**, that's all Phil got. http://www.uscho.com/stats/gamebygame.php?...52006&details=1 Oshie, 13 in 26 games**. Toews, 13 in 26 games**. I think the ROTY of the year should be an effective 2-way player not just a powerplay specialist. Oshie and Toews qualify, Kessel doesn't. ** ex-cherry picking vs UAA.

And we get to whip Mankato again. Fri 03/12/1999 L 2 MSU-Mankato (nc) 3 ot Box 7:35 CT (3) Sat 03/13/1999 W 3 MSU-Mankato (nc) 2 Box 7:35 CT (4) Sun 03/14/1999 W 10 MSU-Mankato (nc) 0 Box 7:35 CT (5)

The band must be REALLY tired from playing the 'Beer' song

Prpich! 5-0!! WHOO HOO GO SIOUX!!

3 goals in 2:17!!!!

Did I mention that I love Stafford? (Just not that way.) Sioux RPI up to #6 in the nation with the UNH win. http://www.uscho.com/rankings/rpi.php?road...bon=.001&grid=0

Sioux getting some help this weekend. The UNH win is the biggest, as you note above. Bemidji with a sweep helps, Providence losing helps ... Still 1-0. Don't like 1-goal leads.

GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! Oshie from Spirko 1-0 6:17 bring on the beer song

Sioux radio says it looks unlikely he'll be back. Nothing specific. Second period on. Come on SIoux, time to step up and win this one.

Sioux are all over Tech "like a wet shirt"

Sioux kill off a Tech PP. Sparky took one in the noggin? (TH)

PP over, Fabian down hope its not serious WORK? On saturday night?

0-0 early Sioux on the PP

This was pretty much a perfect night - Sioux win, St Cloud loses, Bemidji winning, Notre Dame drops out of TUC land ... Seems that IF UND can win Saturday and win the 1st round WCHA series, that we're into the NCAA. Lose tomorrow and all bets are off - we could fall out of the top 16 entirely. Very very tight. Other things that can help UND: New Hampshire is now #16 in the RPI. If they win a couple more, and if they move into #15 or better, UND gets a quality road win bonus (.003 or maybe a bit more), which would be huge. If Bemidji wins the CHA autobid, they become a TUC, and UND picks up 2 wins vs TUC and wins a couple more comparisons. ==================== Weird that we could still get a high #2 seed OR miss the NCAA entirely, this late in the season.

Wasn't that Armbrust's 2nd career goal or something like that?

I'd rather play St Cloud.

UND will indeed get a CHA team. In the 2nd round.

In a related story, Sheriff Todd Anderson determined that the accident was Greene's fault, and suspended his license for 1 game.

Unbelievable. I knew you were amazing and this just proves it again. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BC won 6-0 Thursday. Comon Sioux!!!

Tied after 2 ... biggest 20 minutes of the season coming up. Elsewhere, we are getting a LOT of help, as teams right above us or near us are losing (BC, Michigan, Ohio State, Providence) or tied (St Cloud!) while teams we've played won, helping our strength of schedule (Nhew Hampshire, Harvard). 20 minutes from a perfect weekend, guys. Dig in, strap on the helmets, and beat those DU-mba$$es

He'd look good in Kelly Green
