Sandy is ex-Sioux, so he's soft too. You have to factor that in.

Don't completely exclude DU as a factor. They are much improved and could cause trouble for some teams moving forward.

35 years is not long enough to get a true perspective.

More like sandbag competition we can't let them win. We can bury them on the ice or in the sand: either one.

Maybe, but after being swept in Denver, the Hawks are as shattered and helpless as their fanbase. Ripe for the picking.

If UND can keep UMD under 10 for the weekend it will be a great weekend.

I do hope the boys get on top of the faceoff game. Special teams are so important in tourney time, and winning faceoffs is critical for PK and PP success.

It's been hard not to notice that, MM. I think there is a term for that in formal logic, when people basically allow themselves to claim that the offensive or disappointing act was not committed by the person or group they favor but by a different version of that person or group. The team that Denver beat on Friday was not our Sioux team but the worst version Sioux team we have seen all season--an aberration. We all do it, I'm sure, when our boys lose, but it seems that the more vested we are in the outcome on a personal happiness level, the more likely we are to do that. Not that that makes any sense, now that I've read it. That wasn't me thinking clearly.

Far and away the most successful team in the modern era is BC, and they have had few NHL draftees. Oh, wait . . .

You need to understand that when candidates for POTUS, idiots that they are, discussed building a wall between the US and Canada, it was not about keeping people IN. The developing world is OK to visit, but fish 'n chips and toffee will only get you so far.

We need to stay focused on the positives. From everything I've heard, that bug in the locker room was not syphilis.

I thought the boys played very well tonight. Nice crisp tape-to-tape passing, tight D, solid in goal. Tim was good on the play by play. The power play is heating up. Scored a goal.

Speaking of Blackhawks, when the ledgies on here get whipped up after a loss, I think maybe they will rise to a panic level of Hawks fans on HFBoards. But then they can never quite get there.

With that I would agree.

You'd think gfhockey would come back from dead for this.

But willy was not talking about two games, he was talking about a team that cannot play 60 minutes to save their lives. hyperbole on steroids.

They've lost a total of 4 games in mid February and they can't play 60 minutes to save their lives? Funny. Frustrating to lose, but keep your wits about you.

I think they are having to adjust to better opposition. Denver is not the same team they were in GF.

Ouch. Hard to overcome that

You have to care to hold a grudge.

You can do a lot worse than listening to Tim H call Sioux hockey.

Sioux boosters should buy it and donate to the Ralph

I like them both, but what you say about the freshman adjustment period is true, and it makes Boeser's success all the more impressive. He IS having to learn some things in the D zone though, and maybe that will keep him in GF for an extra year.

Seems to happen every year, and I'm sure most teams experience this, with the exposure these kids have to the larger student body and the way they share germs among themselves. Get it out of the way now.

Boy that's a good bunch of forwards.
