Who is Tim's color guy? Wish he'd stop the "yup" "yup" while Tim is talking.
-
Can't lose faceoffs on the pk against this team.
-
Hopefully Brodzinski doesn't drill any of our other players on these pps.

You'd think with how much hype he gets that Eichel would be close to passing what Paul Kariya did as a freshmen.
It's a different game today than it was 20 some years ago. Eichel's numbers as a young freshman are incredible....he deserves all the press he's getting.
So true. Do you think our modern day players' offensive production can be fairly compared to Hrkac's 116 points and Bob Joyce's 52 goals in a single season? Or Greg Johnson's 272 points in a career?

UMN better reverse this trend, or they will be golfing early.
I wonder if it's a difficult adjustment for those guys not to go down when they miss a putt

The years between 87 and 97 are nowhere near 4-25-5 so can't really compare. Also, twitter wasn't around allowing people to assemble quickly for the purposes of destroying a town
The Sioux had some real offensive firepower during the 89-91 years--G Johnson, Dixon Ward, Jeff McLean, Eisenhut, Bombadir. They just didn't have the whole roster, though, including goaltending

You have to think Blais will be fired before the tournament begins, with the way his team has collapsed down the stretch. Sandelin could be gone too. Maybe gfhockey can get them jobs running errands on the patch.
I wonder if they know how to drive stick shifts.

See LJ keep his cool in that scrum in front of Zane. Attaboy Luke!
-
CC has good jump--as we knew they would

That sure sounds familiar!!
Who are you referring to?

I have 2 lines of thinking competing with each other. One is just as you said, we'll have to beat good teams to win it all so might as well do it immediately. The other is, better to have to only win 3 games against top notch opponents or have to win 4? I also think teams are susceptible to a letdown after such an emotional game as Sioux v Gophers, given the history and current situation of not playing each other.
Me too. If this were a best of 3 or 5 format, I'd want the weaker team first, but in this tournament random causes play such a role in determining outcomes that I don't really care who we play or on what order.
-
If any team is good enough to go deep, let's play them right away. No use putting it off.
-
He takes away your time and space.
There are agitators and goons and MM is an agitator.
MM is "tough to play against"... I'll give him that.
Irregardless, he is one of our own.
-
Any word on NS? Might as well start this now.
-
Commonly used, yes. Technically correct? No.
Much different than "could care less," which is flat-out not what the speaker or writer is trying to say.
Ok, so we can say "irregardless irregardless," but we should say "regardless because" rather than "regardless regardless?"
-
Well, it's a little known-fact that the word "irregardless" comes from Greek mythology and the legendary god "Regard." While the word was commonly used by the literary hockey sanskrit writer Goonolopopomous, it is viewed today as being wrong. "Regardless" would be correct.
So it's ok to use irregardless irregardless?

I suppose as Sioux fans we tend to think each team has something special, and they are. But this team. Might be my favorite ever. They have delivered so many times out of some combination of desire, character, talent, luck, probably, and that typical Sioux loyalty to the program and each other.
I hope they catch some breaks in the tourney and bring home a banner--for them, not for us fans. It's obvious how important it is to them, and they are the ones who are putting in the work and making the sacrifices every day since they arrived in GF. Whatever happens between now and mid-April, they have made me proud with what they have already shown.

What is it with the stick salute police? If they want to salute their fans, so be it. I remember when Minnesota fans were mocking UND for saluting with a win and a tie. After all, we copied the stick salute.
Stick salute is one thing, the TCoS is ours and ours alone, though. Doing it after sweeps is the traditional part. The boys can stick salute after a tie or loss if they want to do that, it just wouldn't be a TCoS.
-
I really like Tim too. His color guy talks over him a little bit too much, but Tim does not leave a lot of room for color so I don't blame the guy. For many years before streaming coverage the Tims were my primary source for Sioux hockey.
-
Very impressive.
-
How many stupid things can LJ do before Hakstol tightens the leash? My lord does that kid like to do stupid !@#$ in games.
After seeing what he did at the face-off last weekend, I seriously wonder if he isn't just a little slow upstairs.
-
Just from reading the tea leaves, it seems almost certain that Zane and J. Schmaltz are moving on next year. A high profile guy like Tomek is not coming in to sit on the bench. Likewise, all those committed defensemen are committed because they will need numbers, with two seniors graduating, Schmaltz leaving, and LaDue (big risk) and Stecher (medium risk) maybe leaving.
Perhaps. I just don't see JS being ready to perform his defensive responsibilities at the next level. I know they move up for development and more minutes, but he's often soft at this level.
-
It's only been one game a week lately. If you average it out with just one or the other (NCHC.tv vs cable) I think you come out way ahead with the streaming package. So many away games are available that weren't in the past. I just get out of the house to watch the game on nights like tonight.
You're probably right. Besides, whining about good things is bad form.

I think it's beyond reasonable. Should be Unexceptable
Inconceivable!
