It wasn't the initial contact when he was pushed in. It was the faCT THAT HE STOOD COVERING THIRD OF THE GOAL WHEN THE PUCK WENT IN.

Great PK!

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!
