Big A HG

Just because it's listed as showing under the HD Channels does not mean it will be in HD. They often-times show programs that are not shown in HD, but still played on the HD channels. I would expect it to be in standard resolution considering college hockey is not a big enough event, but there's always hope!

This morning, Riley Nash of the Salmon Arm Silverbacks in the BCHL announced his official decision to attend UND for the 07-08 season. What a great way to wake up this Sunday! GO SIOUX! Link: CLICK HERE WOOHOO!

There's nothing wrong with that! I was coming home from North Carolina this past weekend during the regional final, and landed in Minneapolis (sporting my lucky sioux t-shirt and hat). I ran to the nearest TV in the airport with the game on, which was a TGI Fridays, and got there a minute and a half before the Porter goal. Couldn't have been any better than being in front of a bunch of Goofer fans when they get Porterized.

It didn't take a cartoon wallpaper for some to figure that out, haha

You're my new hero! Miller Lite - Great Taste, Less Filling - Good Call! No, I didn't make the picture...you know who'd be on top if I did! EDIT: I forgot to mention my lucky Nike Sioux Hockey T-Shirt. I've worn a multitude of other things, but none have the same success rate. When we gave up two goals in the final minute to tie earlier this year, I didn't have the t-shirt on...that's one example.

I was just wondering this after looking at my superstitious wallpaper I have. Ever since I put it as my background on my computer, the Sioux went on their streak. It's actually a Wisconsin hockey wallpaper, but I thought it looked cool so I put it up. But, then after the Sioux started winning, I decided to leave it, and it's been there ever since. I know, I know...it's kind of a Badger thing. I just thought it was cool cuz it had all the WCHA teams in a unique picture. Sorry What do you do to help the Sioux out in your own little way?

After re-watching the post-Minnesota game press conference again, I got one more idea for it...hehe.

Sounds good enough for me...as long as he's wearing a Sioux jersey in the future.

Since, as far as I know, David Toews isn't even a verbal commitment yet, how sure can we be that he'll want to play for the Sioux? Yeah, Jon does play here. Yeah, it's closer to Winnipeg. Yeah, UND would be an awesome fit. But, that doesn't guarantee he'll come here. Maybe I'm missing something...?

Didn't catch that the first time...not sure if this is a good thing that Frattin scored...or a bad thing that it was Eidsness that gave it up! Haha

Here's a nice Porter interview on INCH. Not sure if it's been posted or not so I apologize if it has. Click Here

Totals for JORDAN PARISE as of 3/31/07 with the Lowell Devils (AHL) GP: 28 GA: 75 Shutouts: 1 Average: 2.74 RECORD: 15-10 SOL: 2 SA: 861 SVS: 786 Save Percentage: 0.913 Not too shabby for a rook. Next year I can see that GAA coming down a lot to hopefully the 2.2 mark or so and then hopefully continuing is development to maybe making the big stage one year.

Damn this is tempting! Any lodging deals to go with?

I am going to assume that we will wear black on Thursday....? If we win, we are guaranteed to be wearing white on Saturday, not sure how that will bode...haha. We haven't worn white in ages it seems.

And I'm predicting you're wrong.

I agree with you there. Lee has been a little raw and a little duller than some had hoped, but I think the scouts and coaches of not only our team and conference, but the AHL/NHL as well, see Lee as being a great fit with most any team. Decent size, agility, and has an offensive instinct. He will learn from his mistakes, but I will definitely be glad to see him in a Sioux uniform for at least one more year.

Yeah, but just because a player still has some season left, if he knew he was leaving what would be the point of going to class now...?

Lee is still going to class...

Just asked him...didn't do "recruiting." I'm a Denver fan anyways....

This is straight from the Lion's Mouth....take it for what it's worth. I'm not going to say how or where I got this, but as this afternoon this is what Riley Nash said about where he's committing. That was his response after I asked him about him supposedly coming out soon saying he's going to commit to Denver. Like I said, take it for what it's worth...it ain't much...not expecting too much response from it, I just hope it provides a little hope as to us still having an equal chance, which is more than what's been talked about recently. It might be just a cookie cutter answer so he doesn't give up too much info. I just hope he stays out of the WCHA if he doesn't commit to UND.

Little early to start drinking, even for a Thursday, don't ya think?

The catcher must have really framed that one...

BC is a speedier team, however they don't play the run and gun style that teams like Michigan play. They'll play a more balanced and thought out offense which, I think, help us. However, if you do play the run and gun, you're more apt for turnovers and penalties which is why the Sioux ended up scoring 8 goals against the Michigan team. I think it's going to be any combination of the teams scoring between 3-4 goals a piece. I won't be surprised if it's an OT game, which wouldn't bother me at all!

Just got back from Pinehurst golfing, clubs would definitely have to come with to St. Louis! Temps are nice in St. Louis right now.
