I don't like our chances heading on the road to anywhere.

or to minny.

For your pleasure I'm going to bring up some past history. talentwise the two teams aren't comparable but youthwise they are and I'm referring to the 05-06 team. the parallels are mind boggling. both were very young teams that struggled and have struggled to the end of january. the last weekend of january that year scsu swept us at home, after that series the sioux were sitting in sixth place as well about 4-6 points out of fifth, with a similar record and about 15-16th in the pairwise as well which is just where we are right now. after that series they headed onthe road to a place where there hasn't been a lot of sucess(CC) and we head on the road to scsu where we haven't had overwhelming success either. we got a split that weekend came home to face duluth like we do this season, then head on the road to face a colorado team and close out the season at home against tech like we did that year. I'm hoping history can repeat itself because in the last 4 weekends that year we went 6-2 and ended up finishing fourth. I don't think we'll finish fourth but we still have a small window of finishing fifth. If they can somehow someway figure this thing out by the first round of the playoffs and be in position to where we can still make the tourney without possibly making the final five would be good. because if we have to go onthe road there is a pretty good chance we don't make it to st. paul. If I remeber correctly miami and vermont didn't play in their league tournaments either and made the frozen four and in 2004 DU was knocked out in the first round as well and won the whole thing. I guess I'm hoping history can repeat itself ona couple of levels.

by my count this was the sixth this season. second game in denver, second duluth game, miami,second wisc game, notre dame and tonight. the pattern with all of those was that they were the second game of each series/tournament.

unless we finish 10th which isn't happening, we won't face denver in the playoffs.

this thread is stupid, someone please close it.

let's keep one thing in mind in hak's first two years the second half "run" didn't start until mid feb or later. in fact his first year we took three of four the last two weekends heading into the playoffs and went on to the title game. hak's second year it was a sweep of duluth in mid feb to get us going after we were swept at home by scsu and split with cc on the road. a split against the third ranked team in your own building isn't the worse thing in the world heading into feb. we still control our own destiny in the wcha race but it all starts tonight. we just need to start scoring.

Sioux open the "flood gates" tonight and win 3-2.

we had one each night in denver.

screw that I want a reverse screw job where we get the benefit of 7 straight pp's in the second period.

there will be so much emotion and energy in the building tomorrow, I can't stress how important getting that first goal will be. get the first and the floadgates could open like last year. let them score forst and it is a another 1 goal third period game.

no

hextall not available this weekend, knight is day to day according to hak.

yep and I don't see him lacing up the skates anytime soon. he even made reference last week on the coach's show that he can't really do any exercise. we can only hope he fully recovers and chooses to come back next year.

that is very good news if it is true about hexy and knight.

off topic a little but according to the letsgodu blog tuition last year at DU was $34k, holy crap.

to this I say, F*@# the Pios.

I think if Chay comes back Simpson will come in 2011 if Chay leaves we see him next year.

Denver, much more intense. and for some people this rivalry has almost equaled the one with the gophers and has surpassed wisconsin.

I'm stuck at work with no one around, I am losing my mind.

yeah I bet you that the saints had the extra edge because michael strahan picked the vikes yesterday

I think we'll see knight this weekend, if he traveled last weekend he's got to be close to being ready. boy would that be nice to get hextall back this weekend or for scsu for sure.

I hope it is, I plan on going out there if it is.

only for today

for the record going back to last season BE is the reason we were able to get a tie on Sat against the Pioneers. he has done it just not as often as we would like.
