McMahon is on with Lodish between periods, and he sounds intense, with a sense of urgency about what needs to get done in the third period. Out of the senior class, I'm gonna miss this kid the most.

Send Greene out there with Paukovich, and let 'em go.

This team will need insane goaltending, along with staying out of the damn p-box, to have a prayer of doing anything. Anyone waiting for a 5-6 goal outburst is kidding themselves.

The audio stream is working!

How big is that Maine sweep looking right now....who says they don't count in October.....

Fylling and Canady have been equally disappointing.

Folks, I think the wheels have fallen off the bus.

The play-in game at the X is looking good right now.

Oh...and I was in Madison for almost a toal weekend shutout in November.....It is what it is...

1 goal in 117 minutes of play..........problematic....

MUST.....STAY....POSITIVE....!!!

It's called: "Git er' done!!" Props to the brown and yellow. I must shower now.

Sal is sandwiched between Betsy and June, and is otherwise detained.

Apologies ahead of time..... is the fightingsioux.com audio link working for anybody? Just set up a new PC. Thanks!

Sorry if this is redundant. Is the Sioux radio internet broadcast down?

I don't know if "exceeds expectations" is the right way to put it, but this year's freshman are definitely holding up their end of the bargain. Zajac and Spirko have been terrific, Kaip is a workhorse of the McMahon mold, and Phil is our best guy in the pipes by a long shot. Radke will be a good one here before he's done, too. Just needs more playing time. The freshman forwards have been the most pleasant surprise to me.

The only outcome that would be a surprise here would be a Sioux sweep, IMHO. A split is most likely, but getting swept is definitely within the realm of possibility. I wouldn't push the panic button just yet even if the Sioux come out of the Springs with no points. UND is still well positioned to make the field of 16, barring acomplete meltdown. Just make the tournament. That's the takeaway from Denver's run last spring.

Picked this up from the Tri-City board:

Someone here posted an article from the Heraldo where Spirko was going to stay in GF and hang with his Slovakian buds. So you're probably right.

Seems as though Spirko played for Slovakia at the WJC again this year, too.

Another Sioux PP comes and goes.

Well, that sucked. Plenty of diving, flopping, taunting, and yapping by the Russians. I hope Canada absolutely dismantles them.

I have seen the WCHA refs call the trip and the dive in that instance. Unbelievable.
