While since Woog's opinion was not good enough to keep him a job as a coach in college hockey I do not put any stock into what that di%$head has to say. Every time he calls a Sioux game he rambles about how the Sioux have no offensive skill on the blue line. Great stats on the D-men of the Sioux and Goofies PCM, I would like to send that to Woog in an e-mail and tell him to shove it and keep his big mouth shut for the final five. That is why the Sioux have the least goals against in the WCHA because they play Smart D and only jump into the play when they will not get burned on the other end!!
-
I am also surprised that they would put Stafford back with Parise and Murray. I like Genoway on that line with Bo with Lundbohm and Porter on a line. I think it makes the 4th line more dangerous and much more physical with Stafford vs Genoway who is not a physical player. That being said who knows if that is actually the way it will be come game time. Blais knows opposing coaches are listening and reading as well.

Getting under the other teams skin is good as long as the dumb penalties do not come with it. We CANNOT have bad penalties at this time of the year, that can be the difference between winning and losing when the teams are more evenly matched. Prp has done a good job of staying out of the box and playing smart lately. Keep it up Prp.

This is the playoffs, not some meaningless series. The object is to win not to be accomodating to the opposing team. I see no problem in making them rent their ice somewhere else. Much like the business world, it's not about making friends it is all about winning. I think a major reason why Alaska was able to practice at Mariucci is because Alaska's coach (Hill) used to be a Lucia asst. coach and they are good friends.

Gotta be Murray

Lucia pet did not call out a single player, he just basically that both goalies sucked.
Blais said " Jake found a way to scerew it up" or something close to that when Jake misplayed the puck in Madison. That is one time this year when I felt Blais deserved to take some heat. These are college kids and not millionaire pros and should not be called out in the media like that. Behind closed doors, fine. All must be well between the two though because Blaiser gave Brandt a big bear hug as the teams were lining up for the handshake after the sweep of the Dogz. Funny how winning can cure all!
-
It is important that Blais makes sure that the Sioux do not play down to Tech's level. With the cup on the line there should be no problem motivating the boys. Beantown is the goal and now is no time for a dip in play due to a weak opponent. Jump on em' early and they will fold up. If we let Tech hang around a lucky bounce or soft goal could get them a point, they can be a pesky team.

Goofer fans will do anything they can to diminsh the accomplishments of the Sioux this year, if we get the hat trick (McNaughton, Broadmoor and NC) they will try and find a way to diminish it somehow. That is the nature of the Goofer fan, even after back to back NC's they are still green with envy!@#!!!
-
I doubt you will find any UND fan who would rather have Lucia, just like you would find few gopher fans who would prefer Blais. That is the nature of the rivalry, neither side will budge an inch on most topics.
-
Well let me put it this way Woog got his as# kicked by the Sioux during the Blais era. The Sioux were down in the early 90's. Even most goofer fans will say Woog is an airhead. Too bad he is not still the coach. 1979 and Golden Chokers would still be very prevalent in taunting the Goofies.
-
Don't kid yourself Woog does not defend the Sioux, He is as anti Sioux as anyone in that program, probably still holds a grudge for getting his ass kicked by the Sioux during his coaching tenure. I have heard him talk about the phantom assist thing on more than one occasion. Wooger Sucks!
-
You are correct that the Dogz dominated the third period on Sat. but don't forget that UND dominated the second in much the same fashion. I think the shots in the 2nd were like 14 or 15-6. UND seemed to go into a defensive minded game in the third and were just dumping the puck in. That being said the Dogz really played well in the 3rd and could have easily tied the game if not for JB.
-
The WCHA website is wrong, I have talked to two different people at the X.
-
The sooner the Goofies are done for the season the better. I don't know why any Sioux fan would want to see the Goofies in Boston. A one and done in the NCAA's would be perfect by me. There is no way they don't make the tournament.
-
There will be no eggs laid this weekend WPOS. How could an egg be laid with the outright title on the line. Sioux will sweep this weekend, Tech is no match for them if they even bring their "B" game. Scores were 8-4 and 4-0 in Houghton.
-
Let's Go Sioux.....Let's GO Sioux......Let's Go Sioux.....That is great news but I don't know if I really want the Sioux to be #1 going into the NCAA's. A lot of pressure comes with that but I see this team really building some resolve and I am getting that same feeling as 2000. What a coincidence we were swept at Wisco that year too but kicked their as& in the final five and beat the Eagles in Providence. Let's hope for deja Vu this time in Beantown!

I saw my second and third game in person this weekend at the DECC. I was very impressed with the sioux D this weekend. Friday night Duluth had very few good scoring chances and the PK was excellent. Sat. Brandt saved the day although the Sioux played great in the 2nd period. Third period they were really on their heels but Brandt was OUTSTANDING, I sat right behind him, high enough to see the angles and he was in great position for every stop. It was kind of funny when Smaby swatted his stick against the goal and Jake did not see him do it and the backswing hit Jake right in the back of the head. Jake turned around and was looked like what the hell was that. It was a bad break. I feel confident about the Sioux's chances of getting to Boston especially if we can stay on the smaller ice, Duluth just could not penetrate the tree's in the D-corps. Go Brandt Go, the best I have ever seen him play this weekend. The boys (for the most part played with discipline. A couple of dumb penalties at the end of the period on both Fri and Sat but the PK was good all weekend!

The only tradition UMD fans can talk about is some antics and cheers by their fans. They don't have much of a hockey tradition to stand behind. Maybe the UMD players pay to much attention to the stuff going on in the stands rather than concentrate on the ice. Maybe that is why they are still stuck on ZERO! Focus on the game Dogz fans, you guys have a good team.
-
I can see both sides of the issue. I just hate to see players leave college early. I don't care about the NHL other than a casual Wild fan. I care about the Sioux and college hockey. I personally do not think Parise is ready and I believe the Devils will do the smart thing and sign him after next season. He is only 19 years old and can develop a lot more at the college level. The defenseman at the NHL level are a world apart from the college level. Parise is a great talent but who knows if that will translate into NHL success. It is a totally different game from college hockey and the world Jr tournament.
-
I will be attending both games. I am glad I got my tickets well in advance in anticipation of this being a HUGE series. I hope the Sioux come out in green even though my jersey is black.

Drunk Hockey Guy, your threats do not scare anyone. I would never do this in an opposing arena. However if someone from the opposing teams fan base does it so be it. There is no law on the books stating you cannot run around the DECC in Duluth. If that person is as you say "beaten up" the one doing the assaulting will be the one who goes to jail. No one is going to be scared by the threats you put on this board if that is your purpose. This is an internet message board, it is pretty timid to threaten anyone on here. What if the person who runs around the rink is 6' 6" and 300 pounds is he going to get beat up, I DON'T THINK SO!!@

Personally, if he leaves after this year I could care less what he does in New Jersey. I get tired of these college players jumping early to the pros and not even making the show( Commodore, Roche, B. Lundbohm among others). IMO if he left after this year WITHOUT a national championship Minnesota did not miss out that much. If the Sioux win the NC then I could see him leaving, he is not ready for the NHL, he needs to get stronger. The NHL is all about physical play and he gets beat physically at times at the college level.

Never a sign that you are very highly thought of when you are traded for "future considerations". He has managed to hang in the league for a while though.

I am hoping for a Dogz win. I would never cheer for the Goofies, I don't care what the circumstance. Does anyone know if Brosz is playing for UMD or is he still out? The last thing I want is for the Goofies to get a # 1 seed. I am confident this is our year.
