Hopefully Archhibald's spirit will enhance the Sioux's ability to handle WI this weekend. I just wonder if when Archie sees all that red during his HOF induction if he just won't blow another gasket. Wish I could be there.

Sounds like the Sioux ran into the Great Wall of China again tonite. Reiter really played well and stoned numerous good chances. Good thing the guys found a way to win. Again outshot the Seawolves pretty handily. Blais was real happy with the play tonite. Said at no time did he feel in danger of losing this game with a 1-0 lead they way he was concerned last night with a 2 goal lead. He was that happy with the play. Blais was real impressed with Reiter. Tim asked him about the number of bouncing pucks and Blais said last night they questioned whether the pucks were frozen but that they freeze them themselves so knew they had been. Said Brandt did a good job tonite. Did some real subtle things with the stick that helped him out, i.e. pokechecking the puck, etc. Said Robin Anderson came to the bench and apologized for having to call off that goal. Said he just lost site of the puck and had to blow the whistle but realized it was the wrong call and admitted it. Blais said Anderson had a real good weekend, even with the calls on the Sioux players, they were all penalties. Brandt was also interviewed and I was real impressed with him. Really up front with his own frustrations with his play, and took responsibility for it. Said that it is hard when you face only so many shots a game but that he is really working to maintain his focus now, so he can be ready when he needs to make a save. Was pretty critical of his play. Seemed like a great kid. Sioux had 34? shots to 22 for AA. Bring out the brooms at the REA!

They sounded pretty good on the radio. So we played with 1 forward short??

I liked the UAA announcer though. Really got into the game and didn't whine. What were the line combo's tonite. I know the Parise line was back intact but the others looked like this and I missed somebody: Notermann - Lundbohm - ? Spiewak - McMahon - Hale Prpich - Genoway - Canady Was Connelly playing and I just didn't hear his name? Or Marvin? After game comments by a UAA assistant coach said they really wanted to pressure the Sioux defense when they had the puck because if you do "they WILL turn the puck over". But he wasn't happy they didn't do that, OR put the puck on net because Siembida "every time we shot there was a rebound". Interesting to hear the opposing coach comments.

Great game by the Sioux tonite. Sounded like the kind game that we expect from the Fighting Sioux. Score was only 4-2 but from listening to the UAA feed it sounded like Reiter? their goalie really stood on his head, and his only real blunder was his ill-fated clearing attempt that McMahon potted. Am curious what those of you who attended thought? I think the Sioux had a lot of shots on goal and gave up very few, I mean low teens. Sioux feed was down so we had to listen to the AA feed so we may be short of some info from the Sioux perspective. UAA announcer said it easily could have been 8-2.

wouldn't have needed to had you invited me over.

'Course they could have had ecxtasy had they found their way to 214A.

That is great news that they have the ice figured out. teams should be able to skate on good ice. Big news in Virg's column today, for sure. Too much to hope that Crosby goes the college route. Maybe we should ask Herbie to consult again like he did with Parise!

Where All Ladies Seek Happiness At least that's what our T-shirts said in 1984

I thought it was to read our line combo's.

I like to hear Blais public comments on the goaltenders. Question on the World Junior Tournaments. What year would that be for? I also like Blais' comments on Hale and McMahon's potential to score. I agree and hope to see it start to happen soon. I realize that I am reading someone's synopsis of an interview they heard on the radio(?) but there seems to be an optimistic tone to Blais comments. Forecheck, is that the way you heard it too? Thanks for taking the time to post. This stuff is great for us who can't listen in.

Amen.

Anyone else impressed with Duluth? Tie and a very close loss at home with CC Win and a tie on the road against AA Win and a loss on the road against Denver Could be the surprise team of the WCHA if this keeps up.

Massen showed unbelievable reflexes on his PP goal on Friday I thought. He had only an instant to react and get the puck UP and he did so. Was fun to watch the reply over and over on tape.

Excellent stuff! Thanks!

Thanks for the Student ticket suggestion. Hate to wait that long to know for sure we can get through the door, however it is pretty good fall back plan.

Gotta pat Notermann on the back. There is a guy who really seems to have stood up this season. One of those unsung heroes for his first 3 years, this year he seems to be making some plays that result in goals. Too bad Friday went the way it did but once again nice to see Notermann and Massen scoring and if they can keep this up it goes a LONG way for the Sioux's scoring depth. One very important factor. Great job, Notermann!

that's what I meant too.

The goofs had Potulney do some of the same stuff during their broadcasts on TV last year.

Yes, a scary scary picture. Things happen really fast. It's not surprising to me that the guys thought something innappropriate happened and responded in what I consider a proper manner. If this happened a lot then maybe you can make a case for goonery. As it is, it may have been a mistake but doesn't make the guys wrong.

kr that sounds like an excellent idea and if I was in charge it would be done. With the big scoreboard it sounds like an excellent way to use it to educate the fans during period breaks, etc.

Thanks, can't believe I missed that.......

I couldn't find it there either. Bought tickets through that last year for the AA series myself.

3 or 4 of us are planning at trip to the Forks for the CC series Jan 3&4. However it looks like our tickets for Sat Jan 4 have fallen through. We're ok on the 3rd. Thought I would just throw out that we are looking for 3 or possibly 4 tickets for that Sat game if anyone is aware they won't be using theirs. (preferably together). We are working some angles but thought I would throw it out here too. Thanks
