MafiaMan

Wow! Eight-track memories...just dial 1-800-Upper-Deck. Call now! Operators are standing by! I'm sensing a generation gap alert here. My favorite concert memories begin with Bulletboys, Winger, and Cinderella (Grand Forks, summer of 1989). Cue DaveK.

PCM: There's no way REO Speedwagon was better than Styx! MafiaMan: You've got to be kidding me, PCM! 'Take it on the Run' is the best power ballad ever!

Most Sioux fans are also Devils fans for that same reason. I'm worried about the future of the NHL, particularly in New Jersey. They just opened a new arena there and the announced attendance at a game last week was just over 14,000. According to announcers, actual attendance was more along the lines of 10,000. That's not good at all. Back on topic, good luck to Grieco!

I know the one I posted is the new one. I put it there to compare to your avatar "old" logo. I see that Blues logo and it brings back great memories: Like Steve Yzerman putting a slap shot from the blue line past Jon Casey in the 1995 Stanley Cup playoffs!

Are you a fan of the Gretzky-era (a short-lived era, as it turned out) Blues logo, TRIOUXPER? I prefer the new version myself... This "National Enquirer" stuff about Grieco and Oshie is pathetic. Run along now, kiddies, and don't forget your lunch boxes!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's not rush to judgement on this poor girl. I'll need to see her up close for a better look at the evidence.

Def Leppard rocked the Minnesota State Fair this past summer, PCM. Styx opened for them and I thought they were fabulous.

Oh...and I almost forgot... Back on topic, Grieco leaving isn't good for the Sioux, but I'm sure he's trying to do what's best for his career. I wish him the best.

Isn't it always?

CC didn't need to score as they were already up 3-1 and there were approximately seven minutes left in the game. That was a bad time for a stupid penalty and I agree with you 100% about Phil controlling his emotions a little better. The odds of your teammates making it a one-goal deficit decrease greatly when it's 4 skaters vs 5.

PCM, I've always preferred or perhaps or maybe even to your selected musical choice.

The 1969 retro...I think you had the green one. I'm still mulling over 12" vs 14" numbers before taking it into have them stitched on.

Never heard of 'em.

What part of "...what was then..." didn't make sense? Maybe I should have emphasized the "then" more. Side note: How does your retro jersey look? Purple Eagles and the 2000 Regional

I'm guessing no one has higher expectations of this year's Sioux than the players and coaches on the team. The rest of us are just geeks on a message board, myself included. Hopefully the team doesn't read your comments and feel like they let you down. Secondly, if they come out and play their game and lose, you'll just tip your cap to the other team and move on? So why don't you give some kudos to Michigan Tech's goalie who stood on his head in the first game of the series in Houghton? I love it when people say things like that because it seems like the cap is NEVER tipped to the other team, there's always some excuse: Poor officiating, bad call late in the game, crummy ice conditions, injury, blah blah blah. Are you sure you want to play Air Force or Niagara? It took a third period miracle by Goldy Goopher to win last year's opener against AF and Niagara beat UNH in the first round several years ago in what was then probably the biggest upset in college hockey tournament play. Mercyhurst almost beat Michigan AT YOST a while back as well. Michigan State came out of nowhere to win the title last season. A #1 seed is nice, but not necessary, to win the national title. I also agree 100% with Yttrium about fan support. Still in my top five games of all-time is a 1990-1992 home game with Northern Michigan. When NMU scored with about 12:00 left to make it 5-0, old REA started emptying. The student section rose up as one and started chanting "LET'S GO SIOUX!". By the time it ended, fans were pouring BACK INTO the arena and the Sioux scored in the final seconds to tie the game up and send it to overtime. Both teams survived a breakaway attempt in OT and the final was 5-5. The Wildcats looked like they'd lost the national title game while the Sioux celebrated. The team stayed on the ice after handshakes, turned towards the student section, and gave a stick salute. When the team is down, that's when they need YOU and every fan in the building to rise up and encourage them.

Well I heard that Diggler is the best goalie in practice. Clearly, someone's head needs to roll over Grieco making the decision to leave school. Fire Hakstol now!

I got da Sioux winnin' a hunnerd-an-tirty-two ta seven. Unless Dikka coaches da Sioux, den I got 'em winnin' tree hunnerd ta zero.

Grieco leaves and Frattin's injured? That's it...FIRE DAVE HAKSTOL!

I was just gonna write something about that... I suppose he was talking about the same sucky Bulldog team that almost pulled off the 9 vs 2 upset in the first round of the WCHA playoffs, right? Only an OT win and a 3OT win allowed the Huskies to stumble into the Final Five, which allowed them to stumble into the NCAA's...

A voice of reason cries out from the wilderness!

"I can't bear to watch the Sioux. This team sucks!"

I think that domain name is already taken. FireLucia.com might be up and running soon, too!

We'll get a great idea of where this team is headed by Christmas: @ Wisconsin, UMD, @ Denver, Minnesota
