Not a good looking PP there.

Too many penalties for the Sioux here, have to stay more disciplined.

My thoughts exactly.

Wow, that shows the state of WCHA reffing right there. VV just tried to rush the puck up ice and 3 separate MSUM players hacked at him. No calls on any of them.

BS.

You can't call that but not the Malone interference earlier. C'mon Sioux!

Knight has looked great so far.

That should be a penalty for hauling down Malone into the net.

Ah yes, didn't see that one originally. Love that sports pack.

Lots of college hockey on television tonight. Right now the MSU/LSSU and the BU/BC outdoor game are both on, and then the MSUM/UND game. BC is wearing some hideous throwback jerseys.

I like the 1st/2nd lines. Hopefully Fratts will be a good fit up there with VV and Gregoire.

If the Sioux score 13 goals this weekend, I'll eat my underwear in celebration.

That was impressive choyt. You did that entire post without using the word if once.

As Sioux fans we can hope he's in a UND sweater for two more seasons.

How'd that game turn out? That'd be my guess as well. And they started the season playing like one of the favorites too. Until someone named Aaron Marvin decided to change that. Just call me Switzerland.

This week's BMT visits the injured household of Hextall & Genoway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iJrzlbZtoU...player_embedded Nice dinosaur pajamas for Brett. It's Colby's house and Brett & Chay live there as well. For two injured guys, they seem to get around just fine. Brett's wearing his cast on the right leg at the end. Nice toppers!

DOH! I don't think of myself as a Debbie Downer or a Peter Positive. I'm somewhere in the middle. I'm just saying that IF Genoway makes it back sometime this season and the rest of the team can stay healthy, this team has the potential to be title contenders. IF Genoway doesn't make it back, I expect next season to be a year where the Sioux are considered one of the favorites right from the get-go.

Brad mentioned on his twitter that Kristo was still in Saskatoon because his flight to Minneapolis got cancelled. So he is flying to Winnipeg instead and then Hakstol is going to drive there and bring him back to GF.

Wow on two fronts. First that Zajac would be back in only 3 weeks after surgery. Second...what the heck happened to Hextall? Out 4-6 weeks?? Man, this team just can't get healthy at all.

He was fine skating up to accept his all-tourney trophy after the game.

The UW team was the #1 ranked team overall that year though. So while the UMN team during the HC year was good, if they would have beaten HC, they then would have had to beat UND at the Ralph, won the F4 semi-final, and then beaten UW in Wisconsin. Not an easy feat. The flip-side to this debate is that while some teams are great and end up not winning the title, there are always the teams that were dominant all season and take home the hardware. Just look at BU last season. DU is good. They're not as dominant (yet) as BU was last season, but if there was a short list of teams you would expect to see in the title game, DU, UW, Miami would be on it. That said, I would love to see all three of those teams come up short.

Goon, you've upset bs. He must have been at that UND/DU game and saw the same one-sided officiating that the league saw...after all they did suspend the refs for almost a month after that performance.

I don't want to see UW or DU succeed. Hmm.

Yeah, I was confused by INCH saying he was a 2010 as well. Unless they meant that he was going to commit to a team in 2010...and that would make them happy.
