Anyone think that Frattin was reinstated due to the struggles of the team more than anything? If this team was rolling along would Frattin have been reinstated by Hak? I doubt it. Either way welcome back Matt!
-
I sure would take Frattin over Knight....Cichy...Bruneteau....Rowney....et all. those guys have produced nothing to this point.
-
I think our season just got a big lift!!
So now we go VV Frattin and Malone!

I don't think that Fox Sports would ever use volunteer announcers. They have a professional image to uphold and they wouldn't want to hurt that image by putting a product on the air that wasn't at least professional.
My guess is that the expense of broadcasting and the cost of paying staff to run cameras, do the announcing, do the production work, etc. make up most of the expense. The travel costs of those staff members are probably the smaller portion of the cost. Regular high school hockey games just don't attract enough viewers to pay their expenses. They probably can't sell enough advertising. The tournaments are the only games that normally would draw enough viewers. I don't think Fox Sports has the rights to the high school tournament; the local Fox affiliate, Channel 9, has had the rights to most of the high school tournaments in Minnesota for many years.
Exactly, you are 100% correct!

The USA team is deep at forward and defense. My concern is goaltending. They seem more balanced throughout 4lines than us teams of the past. We shall see.

Easy answer....get Chay back.

Just checked the NHL network schedule. This game will be on tape delay on Sunday and will not be shown live in case anyone was wondering.

As sprig says below, the CFB was really on Malone, and get this, Malone hit him with his back, actually probably his butt. Malone was turning around to head back toward the center of the ice and as he turned he hit the badger who was moving laterally along the boards. It was a questionable call IMO. Certainly wasn't on Hextall. I watched the replay about a dozen times and Hextall did nothing wrong.
Totally agree about goaltending. It was 2-1 and a clearing shot came down into the Sioux zone early-mid 2nd period and Eidsness seemed to struggle with it. Right there I was ready to pull him. I'm not sure they were all his fault but I think 1-2 of those Gudmonson probably stopped tonite. We needed those stops.
Sioux seemed to play 1 really good game this weekend. Unfortunately it was parts of both nights.
Nice take Dagies! I agree with you 100%. Not very good goaltending at all this weekend.
-
Outstanding first period by the Sioux.
Yeah Ok but one period does not make a game. VERY disappointing game.
-
Last year going in to the Christmas break I believe we were 9-8-1, this year, 9-6-3. 2nd half surge is all I want for Christmas.
You know what I am tired of that song and dance. Where has it gotten us? So we are going to rely on the second half surge every year? I an really tired of laying all our eggs in one basket on this second half surge crap.
-
Step away from the ledge.
Who is on the ledge? Neither of those 3 have been worth a !@#$ this year.
-
Corban Knight, Cichy and Rowney are pretty much worthless. These freshman are NOT ready to play in the WCHA. I am so pissed that Wisconsin came in again and owned the Ralph.
-
UND PP
LET'S GO SIOUX
This team has a long away to go. Hard to believe Wisconsin can make a joke of our team like this. The Flippin Goofs are one point behind us. PATHETIC
-
It was my understanding that he could rejoin the team after Christmas break but he would not be eligible to play in a game until next season.
That is the way I understood it as well.

CHAY IS BACK BABY!!!!!
Has anybody else seen this, i cant find it on SS at all?? ??
So what was their source for this story? Obviously it was misinformation. Unless Chay was hiding down with the luggage.
-
So I think if Bemidji can beat these guys, there is no reason the Sioux can't. Right? Miami is overrated.
-
Oh, the DU series. When we play the Gophers, I get excited. When we play DU, I just want to beat the snot out of them, on the scoreboard and on the ice.
It's gonna be a tough series, Denver will be ready. Hopefully if Cheverie plays he is rusty and we can punch some in against him.
-
Done, thanks again for showing the Sioux games. Been to the Bloomington loc many times to enjoy a few cold ones, some good food and most importantly Fighting Sioux hockey!
-
Good for Danny.
That is too bad. I was hoping that jersey popper would never see an NHL sheet of ice. Hopefully they send him right back to Houston after tonight's game. Never could stand that guy at all.
-
I echo this! He was awesome this weekend!
Trupper sure seems to be taking a big step forward! VV needs to pick it up and I am sure he will.
-
Man Fienaghe has to be pissed, Even as a sophmore he cant see the ice. I thought Gleason would be the scratch this year but it sure isnt looking that way.
-
Nice sweep at Tech for the Sioux. Eidsness with 2 wins on the weekend allowing 3 total goals. Kristo and Toews played very well along with the Defense. SCSU comes into Grand Forks off a bye week and previously they had split in Houghton vs Tech. Keep the wins coming!! GO SIOUX
Overall Record: 6-1-1 (.812)
WCHA: 4-1-1, 9 points
Home: 3-0-1

agree 100%
No reason to give the Gophers any ammunition. They will already be pissed after last year!
Dusting off an old thread: Fire Hakstol?

I agree 100 % how in the hell were the Sioux ranked #4 in the country coming into the weekend? Makes no sense.
