forecheck

Go figure. Dora with a goal. And I was just about to say it sounds like Brandt is making some timely saves when last year we would give up a goal right after scoring one. 2-1 Denver.

Lundbohm with a shorty!! A little "How's she going?" 1-1

Sioux penalty. Four guys "beefing" each other behind the net, Schneider ends up with a roughing penalty.

Fuher sets up Bochenski, big save by Berkhol. 13 seconds left in PP. TH is guessing 4,800 fans in 6,000 seats.

2nd period about to start. The Sioux will have a 1:55 PP.

I'm pretty sure the interviews are pre-recorded.

Interview with Porter: TH mentions rekindling the Thunderbay pipeline. Porter knew the Hoogsteen bros and Greg Johnson. It's also a pipeline for denver. Basically a lot of boring talk about players coming from Shattuck and Thunderbay, and how Tom Ward isn't directing players to UND. Porter committed 2 years ago when Hakstol, a friend of his dad's, came down for a visit. Shattuck prepares players for college, and UND is actually almost easier than Shattuck for some of the guys. At Shattuck all they ddi was study and play hockey. "Since you've been in ND, what's struck you most that you weren't expecting?" Fan support. Everybody knows who you are, lives for hockey, there's nothing better than playing for the fans. They help out a lot. Porter thinks it's good for the team to get on the road. They're "Chomping at the bit" to see what they can do. Chris is trying to play his role as a power forward.

I wish we could decline it! Porter is the first intermission guest.

Penalty on DU as Bidaman? puts McMahon to the ice at 19:55.

4x4. I think Schneider is going for the Sioux.

Oh whoops, I guess I heard that wrong. Someone was holding Massen, Sioux with the PP.

James Massen with a holding penalty at 14:31 after about 3-4 Sioux chances.

Sounds like Greene did an oops that may have helped out with that Denver goal. Brandt makes a save.

Talk of Brady playing for US in World Junior's since Canada turned him down. 1-0 Denver.

Porter shoots wide, McMahon off the goalpost. Porter is pulled down with no penalty. Denver playing poorly in their own end, but it doesn't matter much when the Sioux keep missing the net!

Defensive pairings: Jones and Greene Scheider and Smaby Fuher and ? Murray steals the puck for a good chance and shoots wide. Sounds like Denver is playing sloppy. Brandt with a save on a backhand shot.

Genoway stole the puck and shot 5-hole, Berkhole with the save. Genoway with another chance and misses the net. Play goes the other way and Brandt makes the save.

Lines look to be: Parise, Bochenski, Murray Genoway, Stafford, Prpich Porter, Lundbohm, McMahon? I haven't heard Hale or Palmiscino yet I don't think. I'm assuming they're playing with Massen. Money Line is giving Denver fits.

SFiP, go to www.xl93.com and click on the Sioux logo, then click on the live hockey broadcast. It should work. There's a bit of a delay compared to live radio in GF, but it works for me. My computer automatically used Windows Media. Porter/Lundbohm line is working hard. Porter keeps getting chances.

Genoway gets called for hooking a couple minutes in.

The Money Line starts with Greene and Jones.

Jake starting tonight even though he looked like "Death warmed over" last night, and was tired after a short workout this morning. Did no one get their flu shots?

Hilarious! Thanks for sharing the link jk.

Thanks Pat. I'm stuck in Brainerd for a fieldwork this week, so now I know how all the out of towners feel. I'm disappointed Fylling won't be going. He seems to work hard every minute of every shift.

I don't think any of the signs are profanity laced, unless you consider crap profanity. From my understanding, it isn't necessarily REA who is banning signs. It is Kupchella and the powers that be. I think the security guards are just doing their jobs.
