Big A HG

My sister goes to UW-Madison and she just told me to tell everyone to go home because all the Sioux fans in Madison are congesting the city, haha. Sounds like another weekend of awesome road support and wish I could have made this years Mad City trip.

It's only illegal if you get caught....just like speeding.

Toews now has 15 pts in his last 9 and 2/3 games. (10g, 5a). He can still add to it in the final period this afternoon.

I doubt Walski gets the start tomorrow. However, I sure hope Finehage gets in there for someone. I'm not sure who he'd go in for. You'd hate to take out Jonesy cuz he's a senior, but getting Blood as much playing time as possible is good also.

Yeah, he was 33 years old.

I'll be an idiot and take the bait.... You can't like the: -Yankees and the Red Sox -Duke and North Carolina -Ohio State and Michigan -Packers and Bears -Texas and Oklahoma -Sioux and Gophers -etc., etc. It's an unwritten sports rule.

I don't think Jacques would have went to AFA if he could have went to UND. Didn't he commit to NMU or LSSU or something, then decommit because of some personal issues, then got accepted to AFA? I could be wrong and I understand that, but I just didn't think that was the story.

Bad for you maybe...

I love you Kangas. 1-1, 13:30 left in the first.

Gopher game about to start at Michigan Tech. The UP is eastern time zone, so 6pm start for us.

Haha, true. The girls could have went anywhere and made that team a contender. Maybe it wasn't a chance worth taking going here, and that's understandable...but why Minnesota. Girls... And, not to knock on Pierre-Paul and Jacques, but I don't think they had what it took to play at UND. If they did, I'm sure they'd be here.

It sounds like it's falling asleep, I'd get up and walk around a bit....

#1 No, but I'm passionate #2 I'm from Wisconsin, and besides hockey, the University of Wisconsin - Madison is my team in every sport. I didn't grow up liking hockey, hence the reason I'm not a Wisconsin fan. I had a horrible boss from Northern Illinois when I was 16, and I hate hearing and seeing so much Davidson stuff since they knocked off a few teams in the tourney last year...including Wisconsin. #3 You'd say they same about UND....and if you don't admit it, you're a liar. #4 There's no reason to have anything against Crookston. They are not a rival in anything I care about. #5 Good thing I didn't start the thread. I'm sure the original poster will be glad you could partake in it. Have a nice day.

Let me guess...you voted for Obama too. That seems to be working out nicely....oh wait....

I know, sometimes that scares me... I have a Dell (not by choice)

Eidsness' positioning has always been top-notch for the most part. The problem early in the year was his rebound control. You can really see a huge difference in that this second half of the season now that he's gotten acclimated to the top-tier D1 game. I sure hope he doesn't have a sophomore "slump" like Kangas, Bachmann, and Muse. Bachmann and Muse haven't been bad per-se, but they haven't been as stellar as last year.

OK, picture it's the weekend of Jan 30-31. The Sioux have put a good dent into what is currently a great run of year 2k9 games. Coming off a tough tie to Denver at home, they head to SCSU....a good, but not great opponent (like Wis). Just when they can't afford to let up, the team has to head back to their hotel that Friday night with a 3-0 loss under their belts. We then proceed in punishing the Huskies for this the following night. I think Friday road games are generally the tougher battle for the Sioux. I just don't see how the situation isn't a scary one heading into Saturday.

You'd think so... But aren't Marvin's, Murray's, and Lee's supposed to go to UND? Let's give him a chance

Goldy Gopher, meet Andrew MacWilliam. Andrew, Goldy.

Post of the day.

I'm a hater.

I say that the Badgers come out and stun us Friday. Then Saturday, the Badgers get over-confident despite their reason swoon, and get hammered by the woken-up Sioux in front of a tense Sioux fan audience watching across the country. Denver gets an early 2 goal lead to make things really interesting with us in a 3-2 battle against UW late in the game.

-Minnesota -Michigan -Michigan State -Indiana -Ohio State -Penn State -Illinois -Iowa -Purdue -Boston College -University of Denver -Florida -Florida State -LSU -Texas -Kansas -Kentucky -South Dakota -South Dakota State -Duke -Tennessee -Davidson -Georgetown -Pitt -Memphis -Northern Illinois -Miami (FL) -Oregon -Oregon State and most of all, NDSU.

I don't think they'd waste a spot on the plane if he wasn't planning on playing. Good to hear he'll be ready to go.

That must be a this year thing, because I remember him scoring in the Frozen Four last year.
