I'll go with C.

I wonder how much that helps the Sioux having BC, UM, and Miami all losing tonight. Of course the Sioux still have to take care of business by beating CC, but....

Wishful thinking unfortunately. I would love it if they stick around until their Jr years. They would be quite the dominant pair. Wisco running it up on UMD, 6-2.

Darn right!

Those are two very excellent freshmen. Hopefully we can keep them here at UND for at least another year.

Seems quite true.

Get out of here! If you're going to troll, go to GPL or USCHO! I think that was pretty close to the response that I got after my first few posts on GPL. It was after the first UMn/UND series, and I was saying that I wasn't a fan of the Irmen and Chorney jersey tugs, and even though I was naming a Sioux player as well, I got flamed by some idiot. I think it was Handy that backed me up.

Yeah, there are quite a few full size locker rooms down there, I would suspect that the Sioux locker room would not be available for use if the Sioux don't make it into the tourney.

I like him already.

Unfortunately it's looking like that may be the case. Although I would love for the Sioux to climb back up in the PWR and make it into the NCAA's. And with the strong probability that the Gophers would travel to REA for the regional, it would be nice to end their season for a second year in a row.

Agreed. Both fanbases have their idiots, I think we can all agree on that.

Let's hope that Travis sticks around for another year so that Woog can have the opportunity to say it.

Is it as classless as an entire section of Gopher fans throwing crap on the ice after the Sioux scored the ENG in the Sat game? That was neat.

Agreed. The visitor penalty box is right next to the tunnel opposite the team benches. There are always security guards and personnel there. .....but I am best friends with a guy who's cousin lives next door to the godparents of Brian Lee's next door neighbors, and they told me that Minnie students went into the opposing teams' penalty box with a chainsaw and tried to cut off his legs while he was serving a penalty. I swear it's the truth.

Looks like Mariucci is now king of the 'phantom assists'! Even Woog commented a few games ago wondering how Kessel got an assist on a particular goal. I agree that the WCHA ROTY award is Kessel's to lose though.

Hopefully Darcy can be back playing again shortly... Is Chay being recruited as a dman or a forward? I noticed that he has played both. I suppose he could play both as well at UND, but would guess that Hakstol recruited him for one or the other.

From the GF Herald article: Also from that article: Let's hope that they play the rest of the season with some intensity and desperation....

I'll stay aboard the Sioux bandwagon....for now. Seriously, the defense and goaltending has been great the last few series. Now we just need the offense to score more than one goal a game in support of the goalie....

They've never been swept at home by SCSU. This team is where I expected them to be in the WCHA standings (4th-6th), but NOT where I expected them to be for as far as PWR rankings. The Sioux are really going to have to string together some good efforts against the teams that they have remaining, and get some help from other teams, if they want the chance to make it into their own regional. Right now I don't think that this is an impossible task, but it certainly will not be an easy one. I think that all the freshmen in the lineup are doing what is asked of them, now we just need players like Stafford, Porter, Zajac, and Spirko to really lead this team by example the last few weeks of the season. They have a huge weekend coming up with the roadtrip to CC. And to be honest, I have no clue what to expect for an outcome for that series.

Darn, I'm watching the game, but I missed that!

With these performances, they won't even make the NCAA tourney...

SOG are 29-20 Sioux. Gotta start burying those chances!! I agree about Sparky. He has been absent from the scoresheet in the last few series. Need him, Stafford, Zajac, Porter, Prpich, etc to step up. Anybody.

End of the 2nd. The Sioux need to win the 3rd period and score some goals to salvage the weekend!
