Hmmm....girtlies....careful AZ, you might be in for a surprise if you take one of them home, haha...and don't let the girlfriend catch you if you do.

The butteflies are fluttering!

Who are the refs for tonight's game? Anyone know?

Yeah, they had really good seats left not too long ago. About two weeks ago I could have had second row seats between the blue line and center ice (not sure which side), but hesitated until I got plane tickets, then I ended up getting 7 rows up, same spot oriented to the rink. Should be an awesome time! For everyone going, should we get a hangout spot together before the games?

Wow...I wonder where that one came from.

DROP THE PUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uh, not sure what kind of b-day traditions are in ND since I'm from WI, but back home that didn't include spanking grown men...I'll pass. Happy b-day tho Goon!

ALMOST 40 percent? I think it IS 40 percent.

Coincidence, he couldn't have 9 so he went to the next best thing.

Under the NHL section on ESPN.com, Toews is one of the headlines on the right side.

If anyone can live up to them, I think it's Toews. I hope his finger won't hinder his performance any.

I know the Sioux Shop has 'em. They are pretty cool. I'm sure they have 'em on their website too (siouxshop.com), but didn't look so I can't say for sure.

Miller won't sit all season unless he's injured.

Good article...interesting. I wonder when they plan on dropping everything..? Maybe you'll see some RBK Edge Sioux uni's in the future.

Imagine if Forney never got hurt and he lived up to expectations. There wouldn't even be a question as to who is the best team in the nation. Not that there is much of one now, but we'd possibly have a team to rival '87.

I just got my Northeastern tickets in the mail today. Can't wait!!

I NEVER said he was supposed to make as many plays. I stated that Trupp and Malone outplayed him for most of the game and that he didn't click well with Osh and Duncs I didn't think. Just my opinion. The third period Frattin was skating much better and started showing his skills more I thought.

I'm already getting hyper

If, IF Lammy isn't up to snuff this year, at least we have the #1 defense in the country making sure he is seeing as few of shots as possible. I'm not concerned yet, but I'm not going to ignore his mishaps last night either. He's still better than most in the NCAA in my opinion.

The skate for eight is an intense one...are you in or out?!

I'm not the only one that thought the way I did...I think Frattin played well in the third period. I was watching him pretty intensely to see what he brought and it didn't seem like he made as many plays as the other two guys.

Whatever he's willing to pay, I'm willing to pay more.

Watching the game again on DVR....man, this is going to be a FUN FUN season this year. I think our juniors are going to step up more than imagined. Toews will be missed no doubt, but it isn't going to be as bad as I thought offensively. The freshman forwards looked real good. Freshman forwards in my opinion after last night: 1) Trupp 2) Malone 3) Frattin Frattin seemed a little out of sorts. Wasn't a hard worker in the corners and didn't seem to click well with Osh and Duncs. It's only one game so we'll see. I think Frattin has the most talent in that pool of frosh tho.

I thought Duncs and Osh were supposed to make the OTHER guy look good...oh well. I liked our depth at scoring last night. I know it was only Manitoba, but everyone looked like they could score.

I thought that Frattin struggled on the Duncan Oshie line comparitively to others...granted, it was the first game, and essentially the second practice.
