Just another Badger recruit that can decommit in a few years since Eaves is over-recruiting.

I was going to say the same thing about your posts from earlier this season.

I don't think LaPoint is quite ready for the PP yet. He's still too tentative with the puck, which could lead to some odd man SH rushes going the other way. I think once he gains some more confidence with the puck later this season, then maybe pop him on the 2nd pp unit to see how he does. I think both him and Marto will be great dmen in the jr/sr years...

I would be fine with that with the teams on that schedule. Plus, if we can sneak a game out of CC, that could be 11-7. Let's hope they can do it.

Yeah, he completely screwed up that ENG.

I really like Jason Gregoire already.

SHG with assist to VV.

Video is up and running for me.

Rage blackouts. Hilarious.

I thought the Hextall/VV/Duncan line generated some good chances out there, especially considering that they were paired against UW's top line all game. I don't think Hextall looked out of place with those two at all, and he had an excellent shot hit the post right before Gregoire's GWG. Will he be on the top line all season? Probably not...heck, he probably won't be tomorrow night, but I wouldn't say that he played poorly up there.

Wasn't it our Captain Duncan that took a penalty in a 3-3 tie in the Saturday MSUM game with just a few minutes left? Of course, VV bailed him out there...

I think BSU is a good team from the CHA as well. They did just split with a strong SCSU team. OSU has the power of Hunter Bishop, but I was still surprised to see them hang with DU.

Yeah, I really didn't want a winless Badger team coming into the Ralph. Hopefully the Sioux forwards can exploit their young defense, as they have been having difficulties keeping teams below 5 goals/game so far.

BU seems to have already peaked! Nowhere to go but down for them. Makes the loss to them earlier this season a bit easier to take. UMass has been impressive as well, tying a strong UNH team.

OT is only 5min.

Does anyone have any video clips from either game against the Mavs...but especially the Sat night 4-goal 3rd period? Thanks!

Please tell me that someone captured vids for the Sioux goals tonight... I would love to see them, especially the VV SH GWG with only 9 sec left. Ole!

Eidsness I think just earned himself the Fri night start against UW. Speaking of UW...I think both them and DU have bigger goaltending "issues" than the Sioux. None of the goalies in the DU/UW series could stop a beach ball this weekend. After last night's 6-5 game, it's already 5-3 DU in the 2nd tonight.

Too bad no one in a Sioux uni can score...

Finley too...

Jesus, dude, pull it together. All of this after not even watching tonight's game? Nice job.

Good thing you're not the coach, otherwise half the team would be cut.

David Toews at 99% = worthless. Got it. I too am looking forward to seeing what David Toews brings to the lineup. Who sits with him in, and what line do you put him on? I still really like the Kozek/Gregoire/Trupp line, even if they didn't register a single point this past weekend. Possibly put Toews up with Duncan and VV? I think that Martens, Hextall, and Mario all played very well against BU/UMass, but one of those is probably the one's most likely to sit (on top of Miller/Davidson, who sat on Saturday). I like the grittiness that Hextall and Mario bring to the table.

For someone that can't play defense, it's amazing that Duncan logs so much PK time. I would disagree...I think Duncan is one of our better two-way forwards. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
