DAR

Time to get some payback from last year when an outplayed Pioneer team got a lucky bounce and knocked the Sioux out of the tournament. That game still pisses me off. It will be tough playing a fresh team but I think the boys are up to the task. Maybe some of the seniors are finally realizing this is it for a lot of them in their hockey careers!!

That's right GET ER' DONE!!!!

No doubt the Sioux will wear the Kelly green jerseys tonite for St. Patty's day. With the green jerseys there is no way we can lose this game.

He signed with the Goofers, so he is now the enemy. I don't care about this getting to see him in the WCHA crap. I would have rather seen him go out to BU and play than to play for the Goofs. Let the Goofs get all the attention next year, the Sioux have a very good class coming in and a regional at the Ralph. I am fine with flying under the radar for once.

Ohhhh....the trolls will be out on here now...especially since they can't go to Piss on Ice anymore. That new site GPL they have stinks.

Teams are really going to be gunning for the Goofers next year. Hopefully all the high expectations will lead to failure. Luckily the games are not played on paper cause the Goofs will be loaded next season.

No excuse not to sweep these clowns, they have lost like 8 or 9 games in a row at home. That is HORRIBLE and so is their team.

Yeah I heard him say that on the broadcast, I think that is going overboard. He has some great talent but he will have a big adjustment to make coming into the WCHA right out of high school. We will have 3 frosh playing regularly next year, four if you count Radke who will basically be a freshman all over again. They will have to learn in a hurry. We will be very solid at forward but D will be very inexperienced but with more offensive minded d-men.

Yeah no kidding, it is far from a rowdy environment. He must still be going on the reputation of the old ralph or else smoking something.

Hopefully if Greene stays he will give him a welcome to college hockey with one of his pancake body checks. Kessel will come flying up the ice with his head down and Greene will nail him. Welcome to the WCHA kid!

This kid is going to be a dominant player right away, I was really hoping he would not choose the Goofers. They already had a very good recruiting class before Kessel if this is true. I can't believe the BADgers could not land this kid, he will take some heat when the Goofs play in Madison next year.

I don't like either team but I hope he goes to Wisky, otherwise the Goofs are going to be a dominant team next year that will be a National championship favorite from the get go. He will be a impact player immediately.

MacMurchy is a Canadian so it is not his country and flag, still a bush league move though. I hate the BADgers almost as much as the Goofers.

This Sioux fan thinks Hoser is a sieve and so is Weber

Hopefully the senior class has realized it's now or never. This team has the talent, you can see it in spurts throughout the year. No senior class wants to go out as underachievers. As of now this class has one lousy NCAA win against Holy Cross in their careers. That is not the way to be remembered. Granted they won a MCNaughton Cup which is a great achievement but it would be great to see this team make a run for Columbus. The talent is there to do it, it is just a matter of getting er done!

Hopefully Kaip can make a full comeback from his concussion next year and be a valuable member of the team. Radke will be depended on next year on d and that is why I think it is strange that he rides the pine consistently. My only conclusion is that he just does not look good in practice unless there is something off the ice....classroom etc??

I disagree that Kaip has been the most disappointing freshman regardless of injury. In my opinion there is no doubt it is Radke. The coaches just must have no confidence in him if Marvin is playing over him in the biggest game of the year to date today. The way it sounded when we recruited him he was going to be a regular in the line up and make an impact as a freshman. In the games I have seen Radke play he just does not look comfortable out there. If Greene leaves to the AHL after the season Smaby will be our only defenseman with any experience besides maybe Bina and that is scary since Smaby has been shaky much of his time at UND. We will be strong at forward next year but very inexperienced at d next year. I do not feel that Kaip played that well while he was healthy either, he was OK but 4 assists in 20 some games is not exactly tearing it up for a player described by Blais as "like McMahon but with a better scoring touch"

The Hussies are horrible so obviously Dahl can play these small games all he wants but that will only help morale when the Hussies practice against each other. That team is BAD!

If most of the rest of the team had played as well as Sparky has this year we would be in the top 3. He has been a good player as a freshman. He will be a four year player and should have a real good four years when all is said and done. When Murray comes back I am for putting him on the second line with Genoway and McMahon and keeping Zajac, Stafford and Sparky on the first line. Murray on the second line will balance out those lines. I thought the 4th line played well today also.

Overall, the Sioux played a pretty good game. We seemed to be moving the feet more than in previous games. We were on our heels some in the third period as Wisky got hungry for the tying goal. Hopefully this performance can be duplcated tomorrow as Swenney said we have not swept a home series since November. Hopefully Murray will be back next weekend and we can play with a full line-up before heading into the WCHA playoffs. We will be playing the Dogz the only question is where. It will be a dog fight that is for sure. Maybe this team has finally discovered a sense of urgency, we will find out more on that after tomorrow's game.

This is pretty much par for the course, this just has not been a good year and I don't see much changing at this point.

In the central scouting mid-season ranking of North American skaters Jones was way down in the lower half of the list. He has no chance of being a first rounder. There will be no draft this year anyway.

This team deserves criticism...they are underachieving big time. Hak is not getting the job done, plain and simple. In the business of sports whether at the college or pro level the coach is the first to go. I think Hak got the job just because his wife is O'keefe's daughter and that is a bunch of BS. There should have been a national search and we should have brought somone in here who has some head coaching experience rather than a green head coach who is trying to learn on the job.

That is laughable that you would say you guarantee we will sweep the Hussies....Please what do you base your opinion on? This team has lost 6 out of the last seven league games and you are guaranteeing a sweep of the Hussies...please............
