Big A HG

1-1 Minnesota

1-0 Duuuuuhluth Patterson is the starter, not Kangas.

I wouldn't say typical Sioux fan...there are more on your side of the fence in that opinion I think.

That's pretty neat, it's cool to see some people have a good head on their shoulders out there.

Yeah, you are absolutely right. That totally slipped my mind about him as well. When you need that big faceoff win, especially on special teams, no one is better than Vande Velde.

Well, the biggest thing is, and the guys on the Pipeline radio interview touched on it, is VV's size and strength. He's developed nicely here at UND and has the physical capabilities to be succesful at the next level. He's been awesome offensively the second half of the year despite never rising to SOME people's expectations. It'd be nice to see him back, but if he leaves, I don't think he'd struggle all that much in the AHL.

Of course you can use my picture as your avatar!

I retire all things that fail to bring titles...

Did someone say Kermit the Frog?

Agreed. The only way it could work in GF is if there are some very strong Sioux ruits tied to the program. And even then, it'd be a tough road.

After last year's season, I said there might be a slim chance that VV leaves during the summer. Everyone basically said I was dumb and that he'll be a four year player for sure. Now it doesn't seem that way.

Basically he said he's willing to explore his options, but wasn't sure. He'd like to see what kind of room is available in the AHL/NHL and just see how he feels in the off-season. One of the interviewers was pretty sure he was leaving in a post-interview discussion. The other guy wasn't so sure. Chris played it cool, but I'd say it's 60-40 he's gone next year.

That's what I like to hear. Go Purple Cows...Go WCHA!

No Rakhshani AZ?

Jamie McBain as POY

I don't care for his bit in the Mount Rushmore stuff....but I like a lot of other Rick Reilly stuff. I prefer reading what he says than hearing what he says.

THAT would not be good...

Martens is due. Since the middle of last season up til the middle of this season he was flying around, making plays, and scoring some goals. He's been quiet on the offensive end this second half.

If you're a student, you should have gotten an email.

Well, it'll be either us and Denver, or CC and Denver, and it will come down to this series. Most likely it will be us and Denver, and I just don't think CC is going to be able to beat Denver. It's just my opinion. But, that's why they play the games.

We lost to a lot of teams worse than SCSU earlier this season as well. But things change when the end is near.

Denver 39 North Dakota 37 Wisconsin 34 Colorado Coll. 31 Duluth 31 Minnesota 29 St. Cloud 27 Mankato 22 UAA 20 Tech 10 Denver is too good to lose to SCSU and I don't see them losing a one-game rivalry series for a MacNaughton.

It's a Co-Champion then. If DU and us were tied, we'd win tie-breaker for first seed in WCHA tourney.

Toews finally gets one.

Toews with a below average shot (accuracy-wise) missed a net that was open completely on his half.
