Are we seeing the awakening of the feisty Zajac we thought we were getting? Porter's hit looked legal, and then 2 AA players throw elbows at him, and Zajac comes in and is ready to go with the AA player, but the refs step in. It's the second time tonite I've seen Zajac getting feisty with an opponent.

Incredible move by a snakebitten player. Oshie embarrasses the D and puts it backhand off the crossbar.

We gave AA way too much at the end of that period. Hopefully we can come out and establish control at the start of the new period.

Sioux kill the penalty and AA goes right in. Sioux PP. Let's pile on.

PP AA

Great effort by that whole unit. It's almost surprising they didn't score before Duncan's goal. Great pass by Oshie to put Duncan in the open, who sniped it far side rather than Lawson's glove side.

I think this first PP unit smells blood.

Radke and an AA player roughing it up. If the refs didn't get in the way that might have escalated as well.

Rough stuff after the whistle in front of Lawson. Kaip and captain Anderson go at it. Decision Kaip! Should hear some whining from Lucia tomorrow.

Another big hit by Finley!

Great shot by Bina through traffic for that goal. Great patience, and probably a bit of luck. Keep it up, boys.

AA still holding behind the net, no call.

Geez. Lee did the EXACT same thing the AA player did when Watkins picked him off. You don't make that pass.

Nice pad save by Lammy!

Sioux better come out of this with an extra PP. Beaverson was smacking Fabian into the boards, and hit him an extra time after the whistle. Fabian fell backwards onto the ice and Beaverson kicked him in the head. At first it looked accidental and then he seemed to continue to work Fabian's head. Fabian turned on him and the refs broke them up. I can't believe they called it even, with the crosschecks Beaverson was continually putting into Fabian.

Watkins makes up for not clearing out an easy puck on the PK by stealing a pass in the offensive zone, and feeding back to an onrushing Porter who put it in the far side!!!! 2-0

BIG JOE! He smoked a guy into the boards, turned around and cleared out 2 guys who collapsed on his fallen goalie.

Great work down low by the whole PP unit that time. They had several guys banging away at the puck. Worked for AA last night and for the Sioux tonite.

Great anticipation by Oshie. He saw that Toews would have a great chance to get to the puck so he broke from the zone, and AA took a tripping penalty to keep him from the puck.

No matter how tough the year I'm always ready to watch hockey. LET'S GO SIOUX!

Hak said irresponsible plays with the puck caused the 2nd and 3rd goals and not happy with the team not making the safe play. TH blamed the refs for not making calls, believing this hurt the Sioux more than AA. Hak almost lost his composure here. Said "I don't know what the hell we're doing" and made a comment about how the WCHA should be better than this. At first I thought he was telling Tim not to blame the refs for this game, but then it seemed like he was ripping the league for piss poor officiating. Duncan say this tie feels like a loss. Credits Oshie with the real work on his first goal. Says there's a different attitude in the locker room now, they grind other teams down and will try to take the positives out of tonite's game and take tomorrow's.

Feels like a loss to me.

I'd like to see a replay but I have a hard time believing that Oshie went headfirst into the boards like that legally.

That just seems like a goal that should not have happened.

Zajac and VV have had very good games IMO. Zajac had himself positioned nicely out front but the pass from VV was broken up. Good work by that line again.
