I don't think it's always lack of effort when this team loses, as everyone seems to think. Sometimes, sure, but remember Koberinski saying before the game that to start the game tonight, the d shouldn't be pinching in the ozone, they should be sticking to the perimeter and chipping pucks off the glass, etc? HIs idea was to take care of the puck and not make mistakes. I think Hak was thinking that too, and the problem with that is that the other team, if it's playing to survive, will be lying in wait and trying to jump everything. The boys hustled, they just didn't play an offense-minded game in the first. A tipped puck and soft goal cost them.

I disagree. the effort was there all night. If they had potted even half of the prime chances they had, they would have won by 3. They were working hard all night.

With all the higher seeds out, it will be difficult to improve pairwise if they get by tomorrow.

I think the puck goes in the net a little easier for the Sioux tomorrow.

Cue gfhockey

Great weekend of hockey.

Miami winning has definite implications for UND

boy they have had a lot of prime scoring opportunities but can't finish

This team struggles to create space when they gain possession

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.
