Big A HG

Dear God no!

Wow, impressive...thanks sod.

There's also a good chance they do. They do have four away games (Minnesota, SCSU) to finish the year, but if they get 5 or 6 points, I don't see them not making the playoffs. This would be the best option for us. One thing that could happen is CC could drop to a 2-seed, Denver could drop to a 3-seed, us stay at a 1-seed, and then the NCAA has the perfect oppurtunity to make sure only one of us makes it to the Frozen Four. That regional would be tough to get tickets.

I think the Badgers have the potential to be just as tough or tougher than CC for us. I think the big difference is in goal. Bachman has been awesome all year, but he's still a freshman. The Badgers defensive style I think could hurt us more in the long run since our problem has been scoring. A speedy, uptempo team was more difficult for UND early on, but I think right now our team can match that speed and intensity and easily play at the level CC does. We just got done playing Minnesota who has been solid defensively as late (more like a WI), and they took us to OT both times. We just got done playing up-and-down style against Denver, and if it wasn't for a mental lapse in the second period, we would have easily swept these guys worse than we did.

I don't want to end up in Madison either. They proved how hard it is to win in Wisconsin 2 years ago.

JP still in the top 3 on INCH's rankings after this week. Andrew Kozek is now a "Hidden Hobey"

Hopefully the Sioux make it...

The fact that Radke has to serve two games is BS. If he would have been tossed after the first fight, he would NEVER have been in position to fight a second time, so how can you punish a man twice for a referee's bad call?

By the sounds of it, they are trying to find sponsors for the t-shirts

One thing we lacked most of the year is scoring. If we can keep scoring like we did against DU, we are a great team. If we can't score, we're gonna be battling in some tough games. Our defense is awesome, but not perfect.

Uh oh, does that mean that the future generation of Sioux fans are all going to be almost-30-something-year-olds trying to sneak into the student section when all the other students think he's crazy for doing so?

One thing that I don't think anyone knows is that Bergren (ref) may have had a broken nose after the scrum. I sit right next to the ref tunnel and both nostrils were bloody as he left the ice. He must have taken a punch from someone. He was a trooper so no one knew I don't think.

Wow....probably all of our recruits want to play here to play better competition. The Sioux wouldn't stay great for long. They'd stay good though.

I agree, it's Porters to lose, but it was Hensick's to lose last year too and look who won.

I hate to burst your bubble, but I doubt you'll get anywhere near the same amount the Oshie jersey that sold last night got....unless you find that crazy lady again.

Yeah, early on they were going for much cheaper. I got my Watkins for 400 the same night Chay's went for 350 or 375 or whatever it was. So much for "collecting" game worns, haha.

That's hilarious. I didn't realize how many other SiouxSports-folk were around the table at the time. I know LFSPRO, but that's it. One thing was how she felt she DESERVED to meet the team for paying that much. I didn't see anywhere that you get to meet the team for paying ridiculously high amounts for a couple jerseys. I hope UND rains on her parade (the rain being piss and her parade being the cheerios, hahahaha)

My guess is he'd have a little work to do yet, but I wouldn't put it past Phil to do what he needs to do. Ryan Duncan was a little ahead of where Phil is now in terms of Hobey respect, and it's that much harder for a goalie. Half of winning the Hobey is advertising, hehe. The better the Sioux do, and the longer their streak lasts, the more Phil's name will be out there. Ryan Duncan was our only consistent scorer in the first half of last year, and was one of the only reason's the Sioux even had a chance to make a second half push, but it wasn't til the Sioux were winning did he get mention. That's why players like Ryan Jones and Kevin Porter are at the top. Sioux keep winning and everyone else keeps losing = Phil headed to the TOP!

OK, so there are only a few weeks left in the season, and the Sioux are having their perennial Hakstol second-half push. This push is mostly thanks to Jean-Philippe Lamoureux, our legit Hobey Baker candidate for 2008. His Friday night game wasn't his best, but to still get the win against the #6 team in the country, plus give up only 1 goal in the Saturday game to finish the sweep, puts Lammy right back near the top. He has some serious competition though. Kevin Porter (Michigan), Ryan Jones (Miami), and Nathan Gerbe (BC) are having something to say about it.

That lady was a complete bitch...totally classless. Fans like her are what make the rest of us look stupid. She acted like she was the only Alum in the building... Whatever, she got, or paid, what she deserved.

I still think it was me yelling hateful sayings to Mr. Peter before each game. He was way out of position on so many occassions, if it wasn't for some unlucky bounces and decent defense by DU at times, we could have run of the score pretty big. A goalie like Peter is still a really good goalie. You have to think that after he STONED us in 2005.

Like stated above, Walski can play on Friday all he wants Lammy will play Sat. and Sun. If I had to guess, Walski Sat., and if he wins, he'll start Sun. with Phil ready to go if something happens.

Let's not have our Sat. night home game meltdown anymore...let's bring out the brooms and finish the deal.

For those who watched the FSN-RM feed, how were the Denver announcers all night? How did they handle the 5th goal by us? When watching them against MN they didn't seem like the type of announcers to get too amped up during a game, but was just curious to see hear what they thought of the game.

I hope you weren't at that AC/DC Tribute concert at Sensations the weekend of the home Gopher series. My roommates and I were bored so we were hittin' on the cougs there...funniest time of my life.
