How long before some highlights will be up? Somewhere

Holy crap. That's a sick success rate for regionals.

Every team at this level has talented forwards, but if a stupid "physicality" penalty puts Kerdiles and Zengerle out there together on a PP, the Sioux are begging for trouble. A big clean hit is fine, even when it gets called, but the late "finishing" checks and the chippy little cross checks do nothing to intimidate and only lead to trouble. Yet some guys are just prone to that stuff.

Interesting fact. Didn't they play each other from '80 to '84?

Yeah. What a sweet sound.

That Duncan goal off the Oshie drop pass was the pipe shot heard round the world. That klank put an exclamation mark on a goal that really killed the Badger momentum and the crowd.

Biff. That's good.

True, a guy misrepresenting his affiliation with a jersey could certainly be expected to do the same with his mouth.

I'll take UW over Union in a heartbeat, but who cares, we're in. Maybe a nothing-to-lose gift like this is the best possible way this team could get to the dance. Virg Foss once said he thought Gino would have the best chance at winning with a team expected to win, while Blais would be his choice with an underdog. Blais was intense in his way, obviously, but he had a kind of "what the hell" quality that helps players loosen their grip, IMO. Maybe these Flowers From Bucky will loosen our boys up a bit. Bring on whomever whereever.

Funny that the Badgers save the Sioux from going overboard and might be the first to try to throw us back.

Holy crap this is close.

4-4 tie UW & OSU

We thought we lose a game and we're out, then we learned that maybe we're still in even though we lost last night. Nobody pulled a rug out from us fans or the team.

Ten years from now: "Remember when we won number 8 in 2014 when we had to cheer for the Badgers to win a game just so we could get in the tourney? God that sucked, but it sure paid off."

Having to root for the Badgers is perfect punishment for us being in this position in the first place. Only thing worse would be having to root for . . . you know.

Who is TH's color guy? Good color but he keeps making comments while Tim is talking

Sounds like the Sioux playing prevent again.

Boy, the NCHC cameraman doesn't understand how annoying it is to watch hockey with a camera that is moving too much. Rule # 1 in hockey camerawork.

I know Harrison Aide is not a recruit at this time, but how has he done with Bismarck?

Then Rocco would be able to see over them.

Wise words. Tell Mafia he owes you a cold one.

Brandon Bochenski was a sniper, but mostly he just put pucks on net. True scorers have a kind of confidence that the puck will go in and don't try to water bottle every shot. There are many nice players on this Sioux team but not an elite goal scorer among them, and that is important this time of year. Fortunately, the door is not closed yet.

I hope the ice is out on the Red, because there will be jumpers tonight.

That's why tough-guy hockey at this time of year is usually dumb-guy hockey. Not talking about good hard hits

Radio guys made it sound like Zane made some big saves before the goal
