SiouxForever

Congrats on committing to the U of M. With all do respect have fun playing for program that is in shambles and is showing no sign of taking any direction on taking the necessary steps to fix problems within the program. Who knows how the Gophers will be when he joins the squad in a few years. Remember kid, you had a choice, I hope you chose wisely. The Sioux can't get them all.

What a horrible movie created in iMovie on a mac. If I were a Minnesota gopher hockey player I'd be embarrassed, but I guess their used to that with their abysmal play the last two or three years.

Thoughts tonight: The penalty that the Bulldogs were called for at the end of Third period for shooting the puck after the whistle was a terrible call. Whether that happens to the Sioux or the opposition, I hate seeing a weak penalty like that ruin a tight and exciting game. It was unfortunate that penalty was called but it obviously helped the Sioux. I thought the defensive depth really showed how deep the Sioux are at defense. Simpson and Gleason both played pretty solid games and limited making mistakes; they kept their games simple. I sure like Gleason's speed and his ability to skate with the puck. I like how he likes to lead the Sioux breakout and get the puck out and then make a play in the neutral zone by either making a pass or dumping the puck in deep. The line of Trupp, Rodwell and I believe Nelson had some great shifts from the second period on. Rodwell brings good energy to the team and seems to always finish he checks while getting his nose dirty in front of the net and battling for position to generate garbage goals. I really like Nelson's game; I think it's a matter of time before he starts putting the puck in the net. He just needs to get that first one and I think he's confidence will sky rocket from there. Dell made the saves when he had to despite only seeing a limited number of shots. I wouldn't mind seeming him play tomorrow night, but I am sure Eidsness will get a game in this weekend as well. Lastly, even though Knight scored that empty-net goal at the end of the game, I really wanted him to chip that puck over to Kristo, so that he could get off the scoring slump and get an easy goal to get the pressure off his chest. Kristo's effort has shown throughout most of the games this year, at times he hangs on to the puck too long but I like the fact that the kid likes shoot the puck. For the Sioux to really be a dominant team this year, obviously Kristo needs to start scoring. I am not to worried about it right now, I know it'll happen, he's too good of a player not to be scoring goals. A sweep would be nice, but I am happy that at least the Sioux can come out this wekend with at least a split. I think tomorrow's night will be another close game. If the Sioux play a full 60 minute game tomorrow I think they'll get the victory. After watching the Bulldogs play tonight I feel the Sioux are the better team. Go Sioux!

Stafford scored one tonight against the Bruins. He ended I think a 2 game shutout streak that Tim Thomas had going. Good for Drew!

So can we keep the Fighting Sioux Nickname now that we got into the Big Sky Conference. Who cares about the Summit League now lol!

It's now actually listed in the tv guide for Friday now. Thanks.

I live in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area and I am not seeing the game listed on these channels with my direct tv. Please help.

I thought Forbort had a real solid game. Nelson looks promising I think he needs a better supporting cast on his line. I think he will be a good third line center, and then throw Kristo or Hextall with him. Speaking of Kristo, he will probably be thrown the line with Gregoire and Knight. I think Hextall will be a dominant third line winger for the Sioux and give depth to the third line. Simpson looked good for a 17 year old out there. Didn't panic with the puck, kept it simple. Should be interesting to see what they do for defense next week. I expect Mac-Genoway, Marto-Lapointe, Blood-Forbort to stay the same. Surprised Derek Roddwell didn't dress in an exhibition game. While I have never seen him play, I feel like he will be in the Sioux line up at the end of the season. He has good size and put up some decent numbers in Juniors. He'll be fighting for a spot with Cichy/Davidson and who knows maybe even Rowney. I don't hate Carter Rowney's game, but he has never really impressed me in a Sioux uniform yet. Next week should be interesting. They need both of those wins in Alaska. I think they'll get two victories, but both games will be pretty close, two game or one-goal games.

Kristo sitting out this weekend per brad. Kids doing college things that kids do in college.

I'm sorry but Mac will be in the line up every night. He was a pretty reliable dman as a freshman and never had any transition problems of playing at a higher level in the WCHA. He will not be sitting. Sorry bro!

Anyone want to start predicting lines?

I could't be happier down here in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area. I have Direct TV and have channel 617. I am very excited to watch some Fighting Sioux hockey in the state of Minnesota.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. In regards to the Fighting Sioux nickname, it is and will ALWAYS be, if the name goes, one of the sayings that says "You never knew what you really had until it is actually gone" I'm a firm believer in this regarding the Fighting Sioux name. What a fu^k!ng Shame!!!

Unbelievable performance by TJ there. Those were some pretty "filthy" goals!!!

You can bet your ass that Marto will be wearing an A next year guaranteed!!!

I had no intention leaving out other sports. You could say I left out, football, baseball, basketball, swimming, soccer, mens/women's golf, cross country... Wrestling, nascar, poker... Oh, wait a sec, what?!

This will brighten your day. :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZCZnRyqUaA You're Welcome!

No argument or road to travel down on, truth hurts sometimes. Sorry bro! Just stating the facts! :-)

They're like little kids in High School at that rink with all those cheers IMO. Wisco should emulate the fans at the "United Center" if they think they're really hot S%*t!, just saying... :-) Far superior atmosphere, hands down!
