I always just assumed that Dean was a Gopher fan after reading his posts, regardless of what he says. It's ok that he posts on here, but humorous that he tries to pretend to be a Sioux fan.

I would say he is being micro-managed from ss.com, not the bench. How can someone be slow because of the coaches? He just lacks the foot speed of a dmen like Marto and Genoway. Which isn't a knock on him...not all dmen have to be speedsters, Finley and Jones come to mind, but they still get the job done. I have faith in LaPoint back on the blueline. He will only get better, and I bet he has a good end to his frosh season, and a great soph year.

I posted this over on uscho as well, but thought I would post it here too: I can't believe the unbeaten streak has lasted this long. The Sioux have played some great games in that streak, and they have played some not-so-good games. But they have found a way to win, which is what good teams do. Now they face the team that handed them their last loss (not a good one either, with SCSU coming back in the 3rd). Should be interesting. People have said that they wouldn't mind if the Sioux lost again before the NCAA's start. I would have agreed earlier, but not now. The team is flying right now, and they feel confident that they can and will win (even if down by 3 to DU). I say just keep it going...keep that feeling going. Win out. Current 15 game unbeaten streak. Sweep SCSU. +2 Sweep First Round opponent. +2 Win both games at F5. +2 Win both games at Regional. +2 Win both games at Frozen Four. +2 There it is. It would be a 25 game win streak to end the season ( :eek: ), with a Broadmoor, a possible MacNaughton, a Regional crown, and a National Title. Can they do it? Who knows. Heck, SCSU may very well win a game or two this weekend, as they have alot to play for too. But this has really been a fun season to watch as a Sioux fan, and I would love to see them keep it rolling. Enjoy the ride. Go Sioux

I thought Miller had a great game on Sunday. Showed really good speed and made some good choices with the puck that led to some chances. We will need him to continue to play well with Trupp's injury sounding like he may miss the rest of the season. I really hope that Genoway's injury is short-term. The Sioux are deep at forward, but not quite as much at defense. This opens the door for both Marto and LaPoint to both see icetime, but leaves us thin if another dman gets injured. Speedy and full recovery, Evan and Chay!

You're assuming that the Sioux get swept at home in the first round and don't make it to the F5?

Yes.

So, who's #1 in the PWR now? Go Sioux!

You can't get lucky if you aren't moving your feet.

Where was I complaining? I was merely making an observation.

That's a negative.

If you think we were seeing the trap earlier...you ain't seen nothing yet.

I don't think we should be giving away any dmen, being that we've lost 2 players this weekend thanks to UMD, with one of them being one of our best offensive dmen in Genoway. Thanks Gergen!

Hard to skate it in the zone when the opponent is clogging the neutral area and with the shortened neutral zone.

It's the same feed, so it would be equally as bad.

After the UMN win, the PWR looks like this: 1 Michigan (CCHA) 2 New Hampshire (HEA) 3 North Dakota (WCHA) 4 CO College (WCHA) 5 Miami (CCHA) 6 Denver U (WCHA) 7 Clarkson (ECAC) 8 Mich State (CCHA) 9 Boston Coll (HEA) 10 St Cloud (WCHA) 11 MSU-Mankato (WCHA) 12 Minnesota (WCHA) 13 Wisconsin (WCHA) 14 Minn-Duluth (WCHA) 15 Bemidji State (CHA) 16 Army (AHA) Which would make for these regionals: Worchester: UNH Clarkson SCSU BSU Madison: Mich MSU BC UW Albany: UND DU Mankato Army Springs: CC Miami UMN UMD Even with 8 WCHA teams in, still only 2 first round matchups with CC/UMD and DU/Mankato.

No, just a game misconduct, not a DQ. http://www.collegehockeystats.net/0708/boxes/mmndndk1.m01

DU could still technically get a #1 seed, so they would have something to play for. A sweep over CC would certainly help them in that cause. Dream scenario: We beat UMD tomorrow and sweep SCSU. CC gets swept by DU and the Sioux win the MacNaughton outright. CC or DU still remains a #1 seed, so the Sioux get placed somewhere other than the CO regional.

Mavs win!!!

CC and MSUM going to OT.

The CC announcer sounds a little "molester-like". If you know what I mean.

Agreed. Although I wouldn't say that I want UMN to win...I just want UAA to lose.

Darn No goal.

Go Mavs!

I'll take Duncan.
