Big PK here. Hold strong boys!

Just how did we get a penalty on that?

No, it was the right call.

0-0

This one is coming back.

Whoo-hoo 1-0 Sioux!

Let's play HOCKEY!

Both are purely statistical. They just implement the statistics a bit differently. RPI = winning percentage plus strength of schedule KRACH = winning ratio times strength of schedule

No, not really, I was just thinking through them outloud. I see a split in my crystal ball.

I think it will come down to the goalies. Whoever shows up and is "on their game" will likely lead their team to victory. I think if we can get an early goal tonight, the crowd will help motivate the team and we will do fine. If they score first..... Anyway, I am looking forward to a great hockey game and getting off to a great start for the second half of the season. This is a huge game in terms of ranking and pairwise. It would be nice to notch a sweep, but that will be a tall order against Duluth. I think we will see a split. GO SIOUX!!

Now we see if our first-half-of-the-season-success will snake bite us for the second half, or if we roll like we typically do post-break, picking up steam as we go. UMD will be a great test. I say we will split this weekend. UMD would have a tough time sweeping us at the Ralph, but it could happen. We could sweep too, but I think the overwhelming odds are for a split. And a ton of penatly time. This is really a key matchup for pairwise ranking. And being such a strong rivalry, I think it will motivate the boys. GO SIOUX!!

6-3

18s score. 5-2

5-1

Wow another one please! 4-1

3-1 Sioux

Nice quick goal.

Walk away to handle some family business and miss all three goals.

Looking forward to a great game! U18s look good so far.

Seriously, I don't think the announcers know their mikes are live during the breaks. The only announcers more entertaining are the CC announcers (when the disembodied cat head floats).

Hah! Sounded like a home game to me! Every game is a home game.

Sioux win 3-1. Split for the weekend.

Awesome finish, especially for Zane!

Crap, I was hoping for a shutout. 3-1

Let's go play in their end for a while!
