UND a #1 seed in Madison without UW there--I'll take it. Will get a good turn out of Sioux fans and big ice. I like that combo with whoever is in that regional with UND.

Thanks

Quick question--what are the game days of the Madison regional?? TH-SAT or FRI-SUN? Would make the trip from Fargo if by chance UND was placed in that regional

That fact that Trupp has a broken bone and that info was made public indicates he is probably done for the year. Genoway is "out indefinitely" but he injury has not been leaked. Earlier in the year a certain SS poster, with inside info , said Genoway was done for the year after his 1st injury. My gut feeling is he'll play again this year but the regional being the earliest. Just a hunch.

Sure this has been mentioned somewhere recently, but what is up with Forney??

How about Miller, Martens and Frattin on the 3rd line. All skate pretty well and if Miller is going to give you anything offensively, that combo might work. Then you have Zajac, Malone and Radke to take care of things physically on the 4th line. Agree that Trupp injury hurts, but Genoway's is brutal for this team at this time of year if he is out for an extended period of time. Addendum: Got back from ATL last night and when I watch yesterday's game, Genoway's hit looked like a shoulder issue as he was coming off the ice?

Down in ATL for a few days. Went last night to the Thrashers/Islanders game--very entertaining. Sioux get 3 this weekend. 4-1 Sat. and 2-2 Sun. Will check in tomorrow for the game thread.

And we only get 5000+ for playoff games the last 2 years!

Don't they call that cut on chicks "The Britney"??

Apparently got another game DQ from the WCHA for the fight with Test-weasel. (inside info per brianvf)

Nothing for Mannino for the punch to Finley? Again I'll got back to the 5 on 3 to begin the 3rd period for those who want to consider UND the instigators in the scrum on Sat. The flagrant swipe by Mannino wasn't the cause for the scrum? No mention I'm sure from Gwoz on that front?

But of course it will be Lammy now that Radke is out for both games this weekend.

Woog sent me a text saying the same thing!!

As Snake mentioned in an earlier post, the 5 on3 to start the 3rd speaks volumes of what was done and who was at fault. Not that UND was not a willing participant but the penalty to Mann-goono was without a doubt the straw that stirred this drink. DU can bark all they want about what transpired but like the Gophs, it is a situation of wanting to be tough!

The Dancin' Dasher sounds like the parent of a kid who picked a fight and got his butt kicked. Don't like the outcome, don't start the problem next time.

He's no Lapoint, right Chuck!?

What are the odds we have a Forney siting vs BSU?

Totally agree. On that 4th line, he is the one that can set things up. His hockey sense/IQ is very good and as he has become more comfortable, his skills are starting to surface. Was talking to my buddy, who goes to a lot of games, last night and we both agreed he and Watkins are two very overlooked players as far as what they bring to this team.

This series has the potential to be one of those trap series. UND coming off of a big WCHA sweep and now playing at home a team they should throttle. Hak is back and I wouldn't expect this team to overlook this series coming up.

Would like to comment on the goalies. Mannino is constantly being heralded as one of the top goalies in the WCHA and nation. He looked horrible this weekend. Rebounds left and right and saved by the pipes on at least 4-5 occasions this weekend. JPL though is thought by many to be a good goalie in the WCHA even with his nation leading stats. I understand that JPL wasn't great this weekend, but for once can he get the credit he deserves! DU is going into their 2nd half tank job and some of that has to do with Mannino. UND is on an amazing unbeaten streak and JPL has a lot to do with that.

"Get your guys to take off the skirts!"

I'd be shocked if Zajac didn't play. He has been good on draws and on the PK.

Zajac plays for who?? Miller or Radke. Thought Martens looked real good and Miller had some decent moments. I like Radke out there if he isn't taking penalties, which he hasn't been lately.

I'll take the over on the 8 before Jones lights the lamp!
