Did those jerseys really have that design gap on the sides of them, for that game? That jersey looks like a cheap repleca, even thought I know it is legit, I think the sides look absoltley cheap!

I never said that people should be expected to be ripped off while attending a Fighting Sioux Football Game. That's just how things work at the Alerus with some concession items and it's the way it is get over it and move on it's a part of life there are a million other things where a fan or consumer is getting taking of. Sorry, obviously wasn't a rant just an perspective on the guys comment. Now with you saying "if they sold products a little cheaper they would likely sell more, obvioulsy I am glad you understand some economics, in reality though, when your dealing with a profoit margin and costs that would be the most uneducated soltuion to the problem. $4.50 for a large tub is not that much.... what are you paying for a large popcorn at a movie if you have the desire to fork over the money and indulge in the large popcorn.....probably the samething. Then again a large tub of popcorn at the Alerus or at a movie theather..... is a hell of a lot popcorn and probably not a healthy conscious decison but that is a story for another day my friend.

I think you have the typical North Dakota persona of let's bitch and complain about anything with money. While I realize a tub of popcorn might be $4.50 get over yourself, go to any other Big Time Division I school, oh yeah.... then you'll be paying $50-$80 a ticket and I think you get the point. Not trying to be harsh, but it seems everyone complains if something isn't free while attending a Fighting Sioux Football Game. Going to a game is one of the cheapest things of entertainment around. You have people giving out free posters and other free promotions that are "free" and mid 30 to 40 year old couples bitch and think that these people giving these things out are tyring to sell them something. Rant over/ not trying to be hard on you - Jusy Saying

Hard to believe

Mine as well put Forney as a early departure lol

Currently, had made the front page of Digg.com. What great exposure for the Fighting Sioux Logo!

The sioux are skating hard, I'll give them that, but Phil needs to make those saves on two of those three goals. This will be a tough hill to climb, it will be a shootout if anything like the previous two years against BC.

Reminds me of the previous two years............ sucks!

Thoughts: The Sioux got outplayed and lacked scoring chances. NH is a pretty good team and generated more scoring chances, but Phil played one hell of a game. Phil played very well and was easily the player of the game, if not for him NH should of won the game. The powerplay for the Sioux is still very inconsistent and is lacking getting shots to the net. For some reason this year, Chorney is so hesitant to shoot the puck on the powerplay and even on some other offensive plays, I wish he would just put the puck on net. Tomorrow will be a hard fought game, a sweep would be huge right now. I see tomorrows night game being very close. Keep lines how they were tonight, even though I am not in favor of them in the long run. Nice to see the team get a win tonight, but they have a long way to go to develop into the team that we think this team can be. Win on Saturday for once...............Please!!!!!

I agree, pretty good reflection of the game and the weekend in general by soohockey. After seeing both games I think that the sioux were very lucky to come away with a win Friday night. This team is just lacking in so many phases of the game to be consider an above average WCHA team. The lack of offense and excitement that this team creates for me is hard to watch. This team lacks a lot of key elements of past great Sioux teams. A few things that really bother me are the breakouts and transitioning and along with that, puck possession. This team doesn't have the smooth breakouts and passing skills of forming teams as well as an effective offense attack. This team is a one line team with Oshie, Duncan, and Vandy, after that the offense just tails off and is really ineffective and cannot generate scoring chances. Also, the powerplay looked so out of synch and has all year. With all the skill out there on that first powerplay unit, I really don't understand why the powerplay in general hasn't been more effective. For the second powerplay unit, all I have to say is find the right people for it and stick with them. I am sick of seeing different players playing on the second powerplay unit one night and then the next night rolls around and we see someone else. I could be wrong on this, but wasn't Martens on the second powerplay unit friday night and then tonight he was obviously a scratch? Talk about not developing consistency let a lone chemistry with a unit when you have different players on that unit every game. I am not Hak, but I think with this team the way it is you have to have Frattin, Kaip, Trupp, and then Genoway and develop Marto on that second powerplay unit, those are your best options of players and talent to give this team somewhat a more realistic powerplay unit that may generate scoring chances when out there.

With Frattin hurt, and Chay going to forward, marto should be in at d then........

Tonight proves that some people think this team is a little to good. It's early in the year, but after watching this performance there are many aspects of the game that the team needs to work on. Defensively the team doesn't look good. The team also needs to start finding chemistry with its lines. Another thing is the team needs to find the right people for the second powerplay unit, I would like to see Trupp and Frattin out there and then at point you need to have Lapoint with Chay or develop Marto to play with Chay. Finely isn't powerplay material, that isn't his game.

Seems like Brain is doing pretty well, funny how some people didn't care that he left. He would of been big for the sioux this year!

Would be awesome to see Forney get a goal in the third.

Just saw Drew's game winner on fox sports net, pretty lucky game winner to say the least.

That line with Toews and Kane is amazing. I watched the game on Saturday, when the Hawks were playing the Leafs the chances that the line creates every shift is fun to watch. Kane and Toews will battle for the Calder trophy. It's too bad that the older players on the hawks can't do half the things that Kane and Toews are doing for the blackhawks. The young kids are leading by example.

Bust!!!!!!!

Wasn't at the game, but heard Marto looked pretty good at defense, what are your people thoughts about his play? I see Marto playing a lot and see maybe Jones sitting or someone at forward being a scratch. People on this years squad will be battling for spots, should be interesting.

On the right wing, the Flyers boast a group that includes Upshall, Joffrey Lupul, Stefan Ruzicka and Darren Reid. The latter two played most of last season with the Phantoms and may do so again if prospects Claude Giroux and Steve Downie make strong impressions at training camp. Another youngster, Andreas Nodl, is likely to return to the University of North Dakota Didn't know we had St. Clouds Andreas Nodl on this years squad lol, gotta love NHL.com news and timely mistakes with College hockey players.

Sparky wore #11 after Zpar and before Darcy.

Interesting that nobody took the number 9 on this year squads. It wouldn't cross my mind if that jersey is reserved for David Towes next year lol.

Blackhawks --Jonathan Toews centering for high-scoring right winger Matin Havlat? That

Dean Blais wants the job back in two years. I have some creditable inside information. He will obviously coach the new Fargo Junior team for a year or two, but speculation is that Dean will be back at the University of North Dakota. Hak better win his National Championship this year to solidify his spot as a coach. We, as people need to realize how bless we have had in terms of recruiting and players in the last five years and haven't won a National Championship. Players consists of, Zach Parise, Brady Murray, Travis Zajac, Drew Stafford, Matt Grenne, Matt Smaby, Jordan Parise Jonny Toews, the list goes on and on. I know National Championship are earned and not just given out, but with this years team and the recruiting classes coming in I hope they finally get # 8. The only reason I can't think that we haven't won yet is the curse of the Ralph and logo lol. of yeah

That picture rocks, I love seeing Lucia, punk ass kid in the shot.......that so makes my day!
