Big A HG

Gemini has been super busy over the last year. I know they've done a lot of growing and have even picked up a huge account which I can't mention. Also, I'm not sure how well the other women's jerseys have sold, so the Sioux Shop may not really want to carry another women's jersey, especially if it doesn't have anything Sioux related on it. I know their green jersey didn't have the name or logo on it either, but the new home jersey actually has a connection to the change of the name unlike the green. I think that combination is the reason you don't see the new women's jersey. However, men's jerseys sell really well and everyone always wants something unique, so I bet people would buy a non-Sioux jersey if they sold it, and I bet it'd sell pretty well.

Looks perfect in my eyes.

Frattin's was one sick wrister....typical. Oshie also got #16 tonight as well on a deflection. Oshie also had an assist.

We've hardly gotten a good bounce all year...time for the hockey gods to make up for that.

Bemidji is easier, but if we had the opportunity to play Wisconsin, it might give us a better shot at moving up in the PWR farther.

Kristo is gone unless he takes inspiration from what Frattin was able to achieve as a senior.

I tried contacting the place in charge of putting on names/numbers and asked what they look like...they told me they weren't allowed to tell me basically.

That huge reaching stick save by Eids late turned out to be a difference maker.

Well, even D3 hockey can be tough for an upstart program. Concordia isn't really in a hockey hotbed despite its northern roots, so that wasn't helping his cause either.

That was a rifle by Pattyn.

"Double Rainbow! What does it mean?!?!"

I took that [crappy] video, haha. The part where he was cupping his ears to the crowd was during a hellacious "F*** YOU DENVER!" chant that was pretty amusing. I hate Denver more than the Gophs. I'm surprised more people don't hate them as much. If they were a border team, yikes would that be a crazy rivalry.

Farce, I think you hit the nail on the head on most of your points. I have faith in Eids, but only so much until I see a bit more from him. His biggest difference this weekend, in my opinion, was his lateral movement. I think that's one thing that he always struggled at and he'd end up flailing out of position easy on many occasions, even as a full-time starter his first two seasons. His balance and movement was pretty sharp, which allowed him to stay in more plays than usual for him. If he can continue that, he's going to have a strong finish to his senior season and hopefully get some looks in a pro-league. It seems he has accepted his role behind Dell in a positive manner, which makes me really like having him on the team. Your third point is something that the team struggles with some games through many of the previous seasons. When the team is struggling a bit to move the puck, they just start throwing blind passes and rely on dump and chase a little too much. I know sometimes the opponent's defense can dictate how you play your game, but I thought they were a little too impatient with the puck which led to a lot of turnovers. The fifth point you made is something that needs to be addressed. It's a shame that a 10,000+ arena with the following the Sioux have can't find ways to stay in the game. It's easy to be a great crowd when things are going good on the ice, but on Saturday you could hear most of the players' chatter on the ice from my TV perspective, and every crowd shot during the game showed what appeared to be uninterested fans. Those who are able to attend the games need to help out on their end a bit to give the team a little more home-ice advantage.

Do people cheer at Sioux games anymore?

I did a little update to the Encyclopedia Page of the Sioux-Jersey.com website to make it easier to find what you are looking for if you are looking for a specific jersey. http://sioux-jersey.com/#/encyclopedia/4551922793 As always, there will be more on the way, so keep checking back.

It's our barn and are skill level should be better than Tech's across the board. No excuses this weekend.

Are you related to Wayne S?

Slowly but surely I am adding some new jersey pages...I added all but one from the 1932-50 seasons that I am aware of. If you know any others, let me know! http://sioux-jersey.com/#/encyclopedia/4551922793

Mario takes just about the same number of penalties as Mac and Blood. He gets a little too carried away with his style of play sometimes.

The conference tournaments will be a big deal as well for a team like the Sioux. It's nice to have a good regular season outlook. At worst, the Sioux can afford maybe two more losses, but one is going to be incredibly more helpful. Then, the Sioux will have a must-win first round series of the WCHA Tourney. They have to get back to the X. Also, there are only five (not six now that the CHA is gone) autobids now, which is helpful. WCHA, CCHA, Hockey East, ECAC, and Atlantic Hockey. At that point, you hope that teams that will already have received an at-large bid win their conference tourneys. If you get teams that wouldn't have made the NCAA with an at-large bid winning auto-bids, it eats up spots fast.

I wish I could give you more than just a +1 for that.

Zucker is hurtin', but moving a little. Trying to figure out how he hurt his neck/back.

Brian Lee might be the most underrated player in UND Hockey history.

My initial thought was the same, but the more I thought about it, the better it would be to get them on the ice sooner. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see them in Sioux jerseys for as long as possible, but who knows what kinds of distractions will follow with the jersey change. There may be none, there may be a lot. I think it's a safer bet to do it during the regular season so the story of it will be a lot deader if they happen to make the NCAA Tournament.
