Blais, as usual, seems right on this one. * Minnesota runs goalies. They ran Berkhoel twice this weekend on what can only be described as deliberate, intentional plays. Riddle's included a stick to the head, and Vanek on the other ... * So we need two confident goalies. While it seems likely Jake gets the start, we may need the backup for one or more reasons ... * and getting JP a bit more confidence is more important than getting a shutout in the books.

If Schneider is out for any time at all, we'll need the rookies to step in ...

I predict the Sioux embarrass the Gophers so thoroughly that the Gophers drop men's hockey forever. GO SIOUX!!!

If it weren't for powerplays, we'd have had eleven. Or twelve. I think its fine to pull Brandt with a 9 goal lead ... geez I'm betting Jake starts Friday vs Varmints.

We Want Eleven We Want Eleven We Want Eleven

DU 4, MN 3 0:51 in.... How about a bench clearing braawl...

3-3 end of 2 Denver looks pretty good. Vanek keeping the Gophers in it with acouple great individual efforts.

1981-1982 All 6 recruits went to the NHL...

We Want Ten We Want Ten We Want Ten

DONT. NO WWF tonight!! Pulease!

Even if Brandt hadn't stopped anything, it would still be 4-3 Sioux. Shots 15-3 in the first.

Oh SH#$. Powerplay on.

GREAT! to see Brady get one! 1-0 13 seconds in. 11 and 7 with the assists

I'm getting radio ... from rodentland.

Stafford is really not that good. He's too young to bear the rigors of Finland. There must be SOMEBODY from St Cloud to take instead. Anyone know when the rest of the roster gets picked?

But ... but ... I don't think I can hit the ice with a bulldog from any farther back. My arm isn't what it used to be.

Ticketmaster has them ... or you can call the DECC. Good seats still available, but I bet they start going fast.

Time to buy tickets for the Sioux-Dogs in Duluth. Feb 27-28.

Forecheck, you are too modest. Any story that ends with "Gophers Suck!" does indeed have a point, as well as tremendous artistic merit.

And Tech ties St Cloud, in St Cloud. On a goal with 0:25 left.

Talk about psychic connections... ... or maybe a cosmic convergence in the Farce.

I predict the Dogs win Friday. on an overtime goal by TJ Caig. Saturday I predict there will be no TV.

Excellent creativity. A variation on the #2: "Visitors are welcome here." [Picture of Matt(s), with names so the locals can figure it out] "Our Matt loves to Welcome visitors." ============================ OR, "I really like your skates" [Picture of Sioux player crunching an opponent] "I just wouldn't want to be in them." ============================= Or, "Top 10 moments in Yale Hockey History": 10. (blank) 9. (blank) 8. (blank) 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Losing only 9-0 to UND tonight.

I can chip in a case of Perrier. Hate to see her get dehydrated.
