Eades' 3 keys: 1. Minimize the odd man rushes with better decisions by the 3rd forward high and the strong side D 2. Stay out of the penalty box. Figure out the officiating standard and be smart. 3. Keep Roe and Lasch off the scoreboard, again. Not necessarily in that order.

Clearing your temporary files out of your internet cache memory could help with performance. Others could better explain what's going on, but if you are running Internet Explorer, try this: Go to the Tools menu and select Internet Options. Where it asks about deleting your temporary internet files, delete all that stuff involving cookies, temp files, etc etc. I would also restart my computer if you haven't done that recently. These things MIGHT help. But it's about all I have to offer.

A couple of things that I've done to help with some problems in the past are to clear my internet cache and cookies. Also restarted my computer. Lastly, running IE instead of AOL helps me. FWIW.

Ok, this is BACK on. We thought our plans changed to a new weekend, now they are back to the Gopher weekend. We have 4 extra tickets for Friday Sioux/Gopher game, Section 116. We want to trade those for 4 tickets for the Saturday Sioux/Gopher game. OR if you have 4 tickets to sell for the Saturday game, please let me know.

I just thought this warranted a little emphasis. I do think there's a difference between critiquing someone's play and bashing the player, but I think all of us, including me, need to remember this from time to time. Thanks, Speez.

Place doesn't matter until all teams have played the same number of games.

Sioux escape there. How could they leave a guy a chance to go in alone with just a handful of seconds left on the clock? Had that pass been received it could have been a heartbreaker.

I like the effort the last 5 minutes. Keep that up for the 3rd and we should be fine. I think it's very important not to give up another goal, however. Not a good time for another penalty.

I don't think Hextall has a rep out east. Hextall's interference was invisible, or else they were WAY late in calling something that happened up ice. Too bad, because it looks like the Sioux have woken from their nap and are starting to put on some pressure. Maybe Hak threatened them with Herbies, Deanos and Ginos.

Time to wake up and play hockey.

A couple decent chances but the Sioux seem to be sleeping through this period a bit. I'd like to see a 5x5 goal.

I saw Hextall out with Kozek and Duncan at the end of the period, in VV's place.

jk, please do us a favor and refrain from posting this again tonite.

Gregoire.

Exactly what I thought.

I would love to see a sweep but it's hard to predict that with this team right now. I'm expecting split again this weekend, hoping for better. Time to see guys like Trupp, Kozek, Watkins and VandeVelde adding to their stat sheets.

A couple years ago the Sioux were struggling. I talked with a former player (who played under Hak, albeit as an assistant) who told me to be patient. The Sioux ended up in the Frozen Four. I asked this player later what he knew that I didn't. His reply? "I know how good a coach Hak is."

I'll take Belfour...

I don't think he was intended to be, was he? I think he was more of a replacement for Fedoruk and he'll be an upgrade there.

Charter Cable sometimes will have Duluth games. I'm hoping one game will be on Charter this weekend, but I don't know for sure.

This is what I was thinking. Will it be easier for MN to justify leaving if the conference is "just too big"...?

Funny, Mike Eaves team was involved again. No love here for that whiner. Hopefully a few messages were sent and received tonite. Hopefully this team can continue to build. Oh, getting healthy would be nice (Get well soon, Joe).

It's frustrating to me to lose this game, to look so punchless for so much of it, but at least they finished strong. Some of that fight and determination that Hakstol talked about last week. That's good, but can't sleep through the rest of the game.

My plan was to score quick before the 2 minute warning, then get another with just under a minute, then one in the final seconds......
