  1. Too bad this team can't put together all out effort for the entire 60 minutes... haven't all year and I'm not confident they will tomorrow. Hope I'm wrong.

    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.

  2. Riley Barber wins the game for Miami, when is the last time we had a difference maker on the Sioux, Rocco could be one but he just not there for some reason. You always here about the scorers on other teams and they play us and score, we dont ever seem to have guys that get talked about and score. Gets kinda irritating, ok that was my rant!

    This years team just really doesn't have that. I actually like this years team because of that. Have a very balanced attack. Teams can't focus on one line.

    Last year, Kristo and Knight were talked about a lot.

    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.

  3. Thoughts:

    ~Zane was star #1. Could have been 3-0 in the first or even 3-1 going into the break. He made some key saves to keep the game in reach.

    ~Key play was the play that tied it up. UND probably got away with a tripping, and then its in the net.

    ~Nice to see some scoring from four different guys. Thats huge for down the road.

    ~Its been said a thousand times, but I'm happy UND got CC.

    Close out game tomorrow evening. I thought CC played with a ton of energy, interesting to see how much they have tomorrow evening.

    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.

  4. My wife and I have been together for about 4 and a half yrs and Trupp is her favorite by a land slide. I always tried to explain how amazing that play was but I could never find a replay. He was always working hard to make a play. Great guy too. I've gotten him to sign pucks for my wife and had him tweet her a birthday wish.

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

  5. Trupper - on my favorite Sioux players list since his goal in OT against the rodents back in '08(?)... there's a guy who always played with lots of heart.

    I predict Sioux win in two against Ron Jeremy and his Tigers.

    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.

  6. The only thing that made me pick DU over UNO is Sam Brittain. When he finds his groove he can put them on his back and he's just not getting scored on that evening. UNO is a better team, but I think Denver pulls one out.

    Any of those 8 teams could end up in Dinkytown. Extremely tense weekend of hockey coming up.

    You would go with the goalie.

  7. No Twitter, no Facebook, no SiouxSports.com...just the newspaper the next day telling you if the team won or lost at Northern Michigan or Michigan Tech.

    Less national coverage?

    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 . . .

  8. Miami @ SCSU

    CC @ UND

    Denver @ UNO

    Western @ Duluth

    A good chance for most of these series to go three games. I like UND's first round matchup a lot more than what some other teams are looking at.

    My predictions:

    SCSU over Miami in 3.

    UND over CC in 2.

    Denver beats UNO in 3.

    Western beats Duluth in 3.

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

  9. St. Cloud has started a legacy under Motzko lately and seems to be getting the most of their players. Hopefully the Sioux will add to their legacy from this point on in the season. It is nice to see the board so active again tonight, although that seems like it has become the norm --- if the Sioux lose.

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