Nice. Keep 'em coming, coaches!

Jason Gregoire got WCHA ROTW. Ryan "I didn't deserve the Hobey" Duncan got WCHA Offensive POTW. Don't tell Chris over on Western College Hockey blog about it though. He'll do a post about how he didn't deserve it. Nice little weekend for the boys.

For how much he supposedly hates UND, he certainly obsesses about them quite a bit.

I can really see now why the UAA fans dislike him so much. What a tool.

Morin?

I guess we will. Welcome aboard, Corbin!!

Welcome to Corbin Knight: http://www.areavoices.com/undhockey/?blog=40070

Didn't know where else to put this, but an article on USA Hockey Magazine about NDSU going DI: http://www.usahockeymagazine.com/story.php...ight_nav=normal Nothing new really.

I bet Corbin Knight liked what he saw this past weekend. I would also bet that UMass can't offer that type of atmosphere in any of their home games. Will we be seeing a commitment soon?

Honestly, I don't think anyone did. This team is just two weekends removed from the GLI debacle. How they could lay an egg against two of the worst teams in college hockey (this year) and then two weeks later destroy the #3 ranked team in two consecutive games is beyond me. Let's just hope that they don't resort to that type of play next weekend against Tech again.

Win with class, lose with dignity. I'm not a fan of going onto the opposing teams' message board to rub it in their faces after a big weekend. I'll just enjoy this weekend now, as I am sure that the Sioux will faceoff against UMN again later this season. And I would highly doubt that we will hang six on them again...

I'll reserve judgment until after next weekend's Tech series.

Tech played DU tough this weekend. Took them to OT last night before losing. And then lost tonight 3-1 with an ENG for DU in the last minute. That said, if the Sioux play like they did against UMN, they should sweep them.

AZSioux kicked his butt again in the picks for the week. Plus, the Sioux will only get two on Kangas each night, maximum.

This is a really balanced Sioux team. All four lines contributed this weekend and played great together.

Other scores: SCSU beat UMD 6-3 Miami's slide continues...Mich up 5-1 or something like that over them DU over MTU 2-1 in 3rd MSUM over CC 2-0 in 3rd BC loses to VT, 3-2 Hopefully UAA can beat UW tonight.

Go Sioux! Keep it up against Tech...these are very valuable WCHA points.

From Brad: No surprise, UND goes with the same lines. David Fischer is out for Minnesota with an injury. The Gophers also have dressed an extra forward according to the line chart, so they must be waiting until after pre-game skate to decide who is in. UND's lines 17 Jason Gregoire--16 Ryan Duncan--26 Brett Hextall 19 Evan Trupp--29 Chris VandeVelde--21 Matt Frattin 20 Matt Watkins--11 Darcy Zajac--8 Ryan Martens 10 Andrew Kozek--22 Brad Malone--18 David Toews 2 Joe Finley--5 Chay Genoway 3 Derrick LaPoint--25 Jake Marto 6 Zach Jones--14 Brad Miller 31 Brad Eidsness 30 Aaron Walski Scratches: Mario Lamoureux, Brent Davidson, Ben Blood, Corey Fienhage Minnesota's lines 29 Ryan Stoa--19 Jordan Schroeder--26 Jay Barriball 12 Tony Lucia--16 Mike Carman--22 Ryan Flynn 11 Mike Hoeffel--7 Patrick White--13 Nico Sacchetti 21 Jake Hansen--18 Nick Larson--14 Justin Bostrom 15 Joe Miller 10 Aaron Ness--6 R.J. Anderson 28 Cade Fairchild--2 Kevin Wehrs 27 Brian Schack--3 Sam Lofquist 33 Alex Kangas 35 Kent Patterson

45-24

I missed the post-game interviews. Stoa said that the coaches told him to do it?

Yeah they did. Great to see from this team...especially against UMN. What was with Stoa? I'm betting that Hextall was giving him an earful all game, and Stoa finally had to goon it up.

I marked it down, but it didn't do much after he got pulled.

UND >>> UMass C'mon Corbin, make the right decision.

Nice detective work.

Conversely, if the Gophers happened to get swept this weekend, it would remain a 5pt lead (depending on what MSUM does against CC this weekend). I highly doubt the Gophers will get swept this weekend, but anything is possible in the WCHA.
