Bring on the floating tiger heads!

I think they all tend to feel that way down the stretch. Gonna be interesting for sure. CC really wants to turn the corner with this series.

Two top NCHC COY candidates going at it this weekend. Be nice to see Brad get a little separation.

I'd definitely take that bracket.

At the same time, don’t dial down to the lowest of the low, Mariucci.

Surely it just has an altitude dial.

Like a hot Sioux knife through butter.

I gotta finally say it: it's about time they return to old school Sioux hockey. As soon as the puck drops, start hitting people. Hit the forwards; hit their goalie; if they lean over the boards, hit their coaches. Hell, hit their cheerleaders if they are manly enough to have them. And if they can do all that and stay out of the box, they sweep, Simple--just like back in the day. If it were me, I'd have every Sioux player wearing a rubber Mike Prpich mask. Mess with 'em, then mess 'em up.

Today's Bpot games should be interesting. Hopefully.

And like a bunch of his teammates, the guy can shoot. Not on a level with Gaber, Mac, or Blake, but pretty exceptional. More shooters than we’ve had in a long time.

Denver is the second best team in the NCHC, current records aside. The NCHC is good, but there are stronger conferences this year.

It would be fun (and, yes, quite a bit of work) if someone could identify these commits by the former Sioux player that most reminds them of. Some of us have never seen them play or even watched the league they play in, so other than stats and draft status, cannot visualize their play, Occasional vids are nice. Some of us fans are so needy . . .

Michigan a bubble team now? With all that talent?

We're Hawks fans twice over this weekend.

We all probably feel that, but another angle is important, IMO. Regardless how many of those boxes end up being checked, Sioux fans have already been treated to a lot of extremely well played hockey. We are fans because we love the game, and we have already been rewarded with a lot of pleasure. There is more to come, but falling one or more boxes short of all of them doesn't change the pleasure that comes from watching this team play.

Yup. And the beauty of that rationale is that it applies to every possible transgression, intentional or otherwise.

Wonder how different things would be if DU and UND had traded goalies in October.

I think they miss a little of Hunter's physical, vertical play.

What is it with UMD? Was this expected?

That was a hella tip by Miami that hit the post.

3 penalties in 4 minutes will do that.

What possesses players to commit chickenshyt cross check penalties like that after the whistle I'll never know.

Did many expect Berg to be this good?

It is, and that's why it's often not effective against teams with superior speed, skills, and experience.

So many fans. 5-1, here we go.
