Would he even play them in that series though? They could be pretty tired after playing all those games and then flying back home that day. I would be surprised if he played all of them in that Sat/Sun series.

Already giving up?

So there are no ties anymore with these new rules?

I'll be at the F5 and the F4 regardless of if the Sioux are there or not. It's way too early to determine if the Sioux or the Gophers will be at either... So no couch for me.

Umm, no. One of them was in a Regional NCAA game. The other was a series in December.

Agreed.

Me too. The only jersey I would even think about wearing would be my Sioux jersey. Especially now with UMN having that ban against Native American logos. The Holy Cross thing is getting played out IMO.

Maybe Grieco and Eidsness will be a JPar/Lammy-type duo. Be a rotation for awhile until one of them emerges as the starter.

I'm game again.

Woah. I'm being as optimistic as possible about the Sioux and their chances for the 2nd half, but that is a tall order from any team. The way I see it of what is the most possible outcomes: Split or 1 point against CC (all the World Jr players are still gone). Split or 3 points against UAA. Sweep MSUM. Sweep UMD. Get swept by UMN. Split with SCSU. Split with DU. I think that type of scenario would put the team at around 8-6 for the 2nd half, which doesn't sound great, but is much better than their first half and at the same time should be enough to give them home ice. Hopefully they can get some wins in the Dartmouth Tourney and against BSU to strengthen their out of conference record as well, which would greatly help any chance they may have of making the NCAA's.

Somewhere out there, Evan Trupp is puzzled.

I wish there was a thumbs up icon on this forum, because this post would deserve one. Right on. You are absolutey correct.

I wouldn't do that...then I would have to be sitting here calling for Hakstol, Lee, Finley, and anyone else on Livestoplay06 'no respect' list to be taken off the team. I am more humored by those posts and those posters than anything else.

Good post.

That's quite the conspiracy theory you have there. What are your thoughts on the JFK assassination? UMN holds onto their top pick talent? Like Kessel? Vanek? EJohnson and possibly Okposo after this year? All of those first rounders are lucky if they stay for 3 years. We got 3 out of Stafford, and no one expected him to come back for his sr season.

When aren't they with their recent play?

Sweeping the Sioux?

Is it just me, or is it impossible for some of our dmen to shoot the puck and not have it go right into an opponent?

Yes it is. Hopefully he can keep it up.

That's hard to do sometimes though. If you are skating around the zone with a guy bearing down on you, you don't want to have to look up at the scoreboard just to see how much time is left. Maybe they should install little clocks right behind the nets.

Because the players don't have an internal clock that tells them how much time is remaining.

That'd be my guess.

Has Radke ever played forward before?

Grieco gets the start.
