Nice to see Chorney's comments on Brad's blog:

Time to give Forney a shot. Unless they are going to have him apply for a medical redshirt.

I like the sounds of that. So, who is the best of that birthyear from that league?

Agreed. If at all possible, I would want the Sioux to avoid playing CC in the Springs. While playing UW in Madison isn't ideal, it would be a much better alternative. I would rather have DU placed with CC and have them duke it out to make it to the F4. I think that the Sioux are a much better team than UW (in all aspects...goaltending, offense, defense, special teams), so the Sioux would have to play like crap to lose to UW at this point IMO. But anything can happen, so we will just have to wait a few weeks to see where the Sioux get placed.

That was actually my main question to him...why he opposed Radke doing it, but at the same time Testwuide did it to Gordon last year. He essentially said that they were not similar cases because in the Gordon/Testwuide fight, they both had their gloves/helmets still on, which minimized the impact of the punches. He didn't say anything about why the fight continued on despite Gordon being on the ice though.

After. I figured I had to be polite about it, otherwise he would have no reason to respond.

Those were the only two players that he mentioned, so I would assume no other additional penalties were assessed.

Yep. Essentially they gave both Testwuide and Radke fighting DQ's for their earlier fight in the game.

I sent Gwoz a polite email earlier today, just asking him for clarificiation about the Testwuide/Gordon fight from last year and the Radke/Vossberg fight from this past weekend. He sent me a nice email just a bit ago and among other things, mentioned that both Radke and Testwuide were given an additional game DQ today by the WCHA for Sat night's activities. So Radke will be forced to sit out both BSU games, and both Testwuide and Vossberg from DU will be out for DU on Friday night against UAA.

I see that Trupp was nominated for ROTW as well. Too bad the Sioux couldn't have made it a complete sweep.

I would laugh if Gwoz's whining made them take another look at it, and the WCHA ends up suspending Testuide for a game as well.

Both games will be shown on the FSSN webcast this weekend. http://fightingsioux.xosn.com/liveEvents/l...DB_OEM_ID=13500 $6 per game.

Michigan will have to do with Chad Kolarik for at least a month: http://blog.mlive.com/wolverines/2008/02/m...e_senior_u.html Tough break losing their #2 scorer for that amount of time. In other news, it appears that Chris from the Western College Hockey blog can't get over his complex about the Sioux and their rough and tough ways: http://westerncollegehockey.blogspot.com/2...-surprised.html You would think he would be in a better mood with MSUM's recent play. But I guess not. It's a shame, as his blog is normally pretty good, but when he constantly whines about UMN and UND, it really makes his blog pretty pathetic.

Great sweep Sioux! Keep it rolling against BSU. Kozek with a monster weekend...4 goals and 2 assists I believe. Can you say WCHA offensive POTW? I didn't realize that Miami got swept by Ferris State. Wow, they are tanking nicely. I like our current PWR situation, let's hope that the Sioux keep this momentum up!

SCSU is up 3-1 over UAA after 2 periods. If SCSU wins, UMN would be in 9th place, and they have still played one more game than SCSU.

Also...only 4 PIM's tonight? We're going to fall down the PIM leader rankings after that type of performance!

Surprises of the league: MSUM. They are flying right now. UMN. They could be in 9th place after tonight's SCSU/UAA game. SCSU. With the forwards they have, I would not have expected them to be in the bottom 3.

But then our 2nd unit wouldn't do much.

I was reading last week's CCHA column on USCHO and found this comment from UM coach Berenson funny:

Agreed. Funny how in the MSUM series (when the dmen just blasted shots from the blueline and the forwards looked for rebounds), the PP was very effective.

I like this bracket for the Sioux. I really hope that UND can lock up a #1 seed like INCH seems to think we will. If they do, I would rather get placed with a UNH or MSU #2 seed (rather than DU or BC). I also like CC and DU being placed in the same regional. Let them duke it out in CO. I don't want the Sioux to have to beat CC or DU in CO in order to make it to the F4. If the regionals worked out like INCH predicts, I think we would see UND, UM, CC, and MSU in the F4. With maybe UW upsetting both MSU and Miami in the Madison regional.

I think he meant for just their off week of practice. I assumed from his comments that it meant they were working on it this week in practice. I could easily be wrong though.

Not getting any easier for the Gophers: http://www.twincities.com/gophers/ci_8220941 Without Barriball, the Gopher's offensive weapons are really getting limited.

I'll take these! I sent you a PM. Thanks!
