skating well tonight

I feel the same way. The Sioux teams with go-to scorers have been great to watch over the years, but they haven't fared well in the tourney. I like this group, even though I'd be a little surprised if they go deep. They won't score a lot some games, but if Gothberg is on, they could get by those.

That outcome should not be s shock to anybody.

And waaaaaay to slow for this stuff.

The d? The d was the problem turning the puck over time and time again for the first 25 min. Do you know tennis, gf?

Cool to see Miami win, but might not be good for Sioux fans. Miami is very capable of winning the conf tourney if they get by SCSU and take a playoff spot.

You have to hand it to CC. They are on the road after an awful year with practically no road wins against a team that has been winning a lot of games, and they really had jump. Could have been a different result. Good heart in that team.

Still feel lucky we got CC instead of Miami

wow. loose D so far tonight

I don't think you are being disloyal by voting for a player from another team. If everyone just votes their colors the vote is meaningless, so who would care about the result?

I tried to find it last night on youtube without success. If someone here can point the way, I'd be grateful.

My favorite Trupp moment was in his first game, I think, against Manitoba when he backchecked a guy on a breakaway and managed to lift his stick off the puck. I think he had to dive to do it, but haven't seen the replay in a long time.

A lot of criticism of the players' motivation last night, but it sounds like the fans were even worse. The place should have been rocking when they called the major.

You would go with the goalie.

I can remember living in the SF bay area in the early 80s having to make phone calls the next day to find out if they won. Not the best years for a Sioux fan to be in a hockey dead zone. Now, as to other things . . .

I agree, Wilbur, but I'm going with UNO against DU.

St. Cloud has been better the last couple of years, but a legacy?

In early December, an NCAA berth seemed unlikely. You have to count you blessings sometimes. The boys have actually done what they had to do the second half.

The shorthanded goal was actually a freakish good pass and a great play by the shooter. Our mistake was taking the penalty and letting him get to the net.

Wins are always better, but getting cc next weekend wouldn't be all bad. Miami is still dangerous.

And Notermann's old man over on USCHO. Wonder how many other parents post on these sites.

What about Sparky?! Will he never come back?

That's pretty much how I feel. And expanding on Hovey's first point, I want to be able to watch a UND team that is consistently among the best teams in the country, so the games are both fun to watch and meaningful. Hak's teams have given that. Hak has not won a NC yet, and we all expect that; but he also has not put us through three for four years like Minnesota recently went through under Lucia, or some of the bad years Eaves had recently, or some of Sandy's teams in in Duluth, or the disaster Miami has been this year.

Great parents and extremely athletic family. The kid lives for hockey.

I was there too. Jeff Sauer and CC in town, if I remember right. Those of us who began watching the Sioux in the old barn thought the new building was very nice but too quiet and civilized. A little like fans felt after the move from the old Ralph to the new.
