Sioux been out of sync most of this weekend so far.

Agree and UND having a hard time clearing the puck in front of Dell this weekend as well.

Rodwell lays out Jensen with big hit to end period. SOG 13-9 UND

Mario takes a high stick...UND on PP. Sounds like lots of chirping from bench to bench per TH..."could get testy here soon."

Loose puck...Dell sees it late and Clowns PP goal...1-1.

Penalty on Hexy...TH didn't like the call?!?!

Goal was on UND PP.

Matching minors...4x4

Good PK by UND.

Cross checking on Rowney.

Sounds like SCSU carrying play early...

Is Cichy hurt and it hasn't been disclosed? Kid has way too much talent IMO to have not seen the ice in a month+.

Lee back in net, the boys back in black...this one is going get ugly quick. Limit our penalties and score on the PP. I'm calling a 5-2 UND win with Clowns getting one late in the 3rd. Expect to see Mario's line play much better and Lee won't play 2 very good games back to back. Saw Burrell at D for SCSU making just his 3 appearance of the year I believe. I'll set the over/under on him getting walked for a goal at 1.5 goals for the game.

That's a huge issue. Technology has helped the local farmers, but improved drainage IMO is the #2 reason behind the current wet cycle that raises the Red past major flood stage yearly as of late.

In Fargo, we have had minimal snow fall,relatively speaking, and a past week of fairly significant thawing/warm weather since the first NWC river projections and yet the NWC jacks UP it's predicted forecast yesterday?? That tells me one of 2 things...someone @ the NWC really likes their power of speculation or this is really little more than a "guesstimate" this far out. I'll be optimistic and be hopeful for continued dry and temperate weather until the next NWC forecast.

You nailed it...really couldn't have lined up any better for UND down the stretch. If UND doesn't win the Cup...FIRE HAK!

On a side note....actually in Bismarck. Read Tribune sport's page with a big picture of Solen HS boy's basketball player on it. Solen's nickname is the Sioux and "SIOUX" was on front of the Solen HS player's jersey. Also Solen is in Sioux County. But it's a predominantly Native American school, town and county... Just thought that was interesting to see the other side of the equation. Carry on...

Totally agree BC shouldn't be able to continually stroll out of their own beds in PJs and slippers to get to the regional rink. I know "integrity" of the brackets is important and that this bracket is hypothetical, but these "western" regionals are an attendance nightmare. If the West region were to happen as is 80% of the Scottrade Arena will be bare. Green Bay will have decent attendance and the 2 eastern regional will be ok. St. Louis IMO needs UND there...that is the only team that will put butts in the seats for sure. Green Bay would be ok with UMD. My crew will probably travel to either St. Louis or GB if UND is sent to either site.

Moys' Bracketology is up on USCHO.com. Very odd brackets this week. Has UND in Green Bay playing Renssilaer with Michigan vs. UNO. WI and UMD are in Manchester with BC and Denver is in St. Louis. From an attendence perspective, this is about as poor of brackets imaginable. WI not in Green Bay? Who is going to go watch in St. Louis? I heard from a credible source close to the UND hockey program last week that he would totally shocked if UND was NOT sent to St. Louis. UND would be the biggest draw there period and attendance is going to be poor even with UND there. Have WI not play in Green Bay makes no sense. Ship Denver anywhere...their 100 fans would have to fly regardless. First time in a while I've seen Moy's brackets and just scratched my head.

Least he's honest...

You actually and purposely scheduled classes on Friday???

Your 1st point shouldn't be an expectation of your #1 goalie, your 2nd point should be though.

Totally with you. There were times last year where I almost felt UND was down 1-0 before the pucked dropped because BE seemed to always give up a soft one. With that said, I'd like to see BE get some ice time, but with the race for Cup on and Dell in total control game in and game out, I don't see that happening.

Eidsness in 2+ years as the guy was never as solid and consistant as Dell has been this year. Dell's positioning is better, he controls rebounds better and most of all IMO his concentration is better... he doesn't give up a softy nearly as often as BE did.

I tend to agree but it would be nice to see that happen though.
