  1. Good job Jake! I believe with his performance during the last four games that he has established himself as the #1 goalie. He seems to really come into form for the end of the year run, let's hope he can keep his excellent play going.

    Congrats again Jake! :p

  2. While I didn't see it live :p , that OT winner against Denver last year was as great a shot as I have seen.

    That game was the best game that I have seen in the New Ralph. That place was rocking for the entire overtime until Nick scored the winner. Then it got crazier. Everyone remained standing and cheering until well after the team left the ice, it was an amazing sight to see. THAT'S how hockey games should be at the Ralph!! :lol:

  3. Go Sioux!

    I agree about RR girls being much better looking than GFC girls. Aaahhhh, fond memories of my RR days back in the late 90's. :glare:

    TH just talked about Fuher going for the hatty, that just sounded funny. Great game by Nick.

  4. zap2it.com still has the Friday 2/27 game on WDAZ...the 2/28 is on WDAZ, WDAY, and WDIO

    Has anyone found out for sure if the game will be on TV Friday?

    During the last Sioux game with CC, Pat Sweeney said that the Fri game against UMD would NOT be televised as earlier stated, just the Sat game would be televised.

  5. Here's what I don't get. On Friday night, Blais praised the line of Lundbohm, Stafford and Porter, saying that they were the best line on the ice.

    So why is it on Saturday night, Lundbohm was centering a line with McMahon and Prpich, two primarily defensive players?

    I wondered that as well. The Lundy-Stafford-Porter line was all over the place on Fri, creating chances and cycling the puck freely in the CC zone. Weird that he would choose to split them up for the Sat night game.

    I would like to see Brandt play Fri night against Mankato. He needs some playing time to bring his confidence back up after the UW series. I still believe that he should be our goalie through the NCAA's. His solid play through last years WCHA first round playoffs and the Final Five (despite the quick exit) are proof that he can raise the level of his game with alot on the line. I say give him the chance to prove himself again.

  6. Or we could compare this season to the 99-00 team that got swept in Wisco late in the season, played well for the rest of the WCHA season, beat Wisco in the WCHA Final 5 Championship, and then went on to win the Natl Championship.

    I like that comparison a little better. :D

    I'm not giving up on this Sioux team yet, no way. We'll see how they rebound this weekend with CC. If they play well against CC, and do well against Mankato, they could go into the DECC with some confidence and with a winning attitude.

    Go Sioux!

  7. Got my cable modem just in time! :huh:

    Quick question here for people who have cable modem or DSL. I've been thinking about getting one of the two, and would like some feedback from people who already have them. Cost is a big issue with me as I am a poor college student. :p

    Cheapest? Best providers? Etc?

    Thanks

  8. The '05 class needs to be good. UND loses 6 senior forwards (plus early departures) and 3 senior defensemen (again plus early departures) that Spring.

    Wow, dang right that class needs to be good. 9 graduating players is huge, especially considering the low number of graduates that we have had the last few years.

    I think we had Notermann, Spiewak, and Leinweber last year.

    And this year just Lundbohm (Lundblum), Hale, and Palmo.

  9. About 2 people would get this but,

    Where's Bwadwey?

    ;)

    Watch out Diggler, he might email you again if you keep this up. :silly:

    But he did say that he would be at this series, so just look for the guy that gets all upset when the crowd yells "and the home of the SIOUX!". :lol:

  10. I wonder how long it took the fans to "take" to the Old REA when it was built...

    I bet not long at all after coming from the Old Barn! The crowd probably enjoyed being able to watch hockey in temperatures above freezing. :glare:

  11. I think we better bring home the hardware this year, boys...

    I agree with this with all the possible people leaving after this season:

    Palmo, Lundbohm, and Hale gone for sure.

    Bochenski, Greene, Jones, ZParise, and Schneider all possibilities of leaving.

    Not good, but I guess we'll have to do as redwing77 says and just keep the faith. :glare:

  12. Question is: Who would be our first and who would be our second line? Bochenski isn't a second liner by any means, but neither is Murray, Parise, and I think even Stafford is proving he's a first liner on any other team.

    I would start the Parise-Murray-Stafford line just so that they get the recognition from the Ralph crowd. Knowing Blais, we'll see how long these lines are left like this! :p

    And, thanks again PCM!! :ohmy:
