SiouxForever

A lot of interesting scores from the WCHA last night. I would of never guess Alaska upsetting Colorado College. St. Cloud also destroyed the Badgers. Looking at the current standings in the WCHA, most teams have about 4 losses, other then the current unstoppable Minnesota Gophers (which I don't really care for, and we'll see how they are at the end of the year). I think the Sioux tonight need a must win, I hope they rock their black jersey's and realize it's all business tonight. I see the Sioux ending up in the top 4 of the WCHA this year, which is fine for them and they will go on a great run into the WCHA Final Five tourney, and the National one as well. As long as they get healthy and keep getting good play from the freshman and continue to improve, I don't see any reason why this team can't compete/beat any team in the nation. How would you guys rank your pre-season WCHA standings now after a few games in the conference has been played?

I did not not notice that the person spelled "Sioux" wrong, that is pretty pathetic. Nice job pointing that out.

http://fans.nhl.com/members/Thorn058/blogs/24112 Pretty informative read. Thoughts, reflections?

I knew this team could play alongside with anyone as long as they played better team defense and played a full 60 minutes. This sioux team has tons of depth which is a great thing, malone and frats sit out and the team doesn't miss a beat without those two players in the line up. That is something special there. Also big Joe has still yet to play, despite peoples love hate relation of Joe, he will be a critical asset to the team. He is big and has a long stick that can be utilized a lot on the penalty kill and other key scenarios. All in all, a great win and go sioux tonight! Sweep, boom baby!

Awesome read, love this kid!

Well said, I totally agree. Women these days..... ;(

Who are you kidding? The true die hard fans and students will be there, it will be lights out!

I had to rebut the first game. Totally gay, they better refund my first 8 dollars. Go Sioux!

This team will be deep, I love what was displayed. We will have more options of great d-man and forwards, and great players will have to be scratched. I think this is the most balanced team I've seen in a while. We have everyone role of player you would need. This should as always be an interesting year. I expect banner #8 with this class of freshman not playing like freshman all year!

No love for Jason Greogire? c'mon AZSioux, you know your hockey!

It's absolutely ridiculous that some College kids at UND do not have debit/credit cards.... once your 18 and you move on out of mommy and daddy's basement its time to grow up! I just don't understand it!

Not trying to knock women's hockey. but I hope you have some deep pockets my friend

Nice.... I digg!

It's simple logic, you televise home games, less people fill up the Alerus. That is the sole reason behing not haveing telvised home games. You can look up the data from past years when they had more games televised.

You DaveK of all people would say that, quit thinking closed minded!

I think that the Ralph, needs to start incorporating new songs at hockey games, while I love the old rock music of 80's and your classic AC/DC stuff, in 2008 we need to add some new stuff with the currently crop of music out there. My suggestions: 1. Some Audioslave 2. The Let It Rock Song with Kim Rundolph and Lil Wayne - I know this song will get old but at the hockey games it would get the crowd going 3. Incubus - anything 4. Trapt, another song besides "Headstrong", yes they have other good pump up songs....examples "Stand up" 5. Kanye West's new song "Love Lockdown" sweet beat to get the crowd going 6. Muse 7. Foo Fighters 8. The Raconteurs 9. 30 Second to Mars 10. Starting Line - "Island (Float Away" 11. Linkin Park - Anything on Minute to midnights album What do you guys think?

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!!!!!
