Jim Dahl runs simulated results for his pairwise analysis and projections.

yeah, our track record out in the springs isn't that great, we have what one sweep in the last 20 years out there? and have been swept many more times than that. sweep umd, at least split at cc and sweep tech and odds are we'll be tied with cc and then it all depends on tie breakers.

It'll be interesting to see if they can go on some kind of little run with the momentum after last saturday or mind the same kind of scorinf misfortunes that led up to saturday.

"IF" we were to sweep we would put the duluth comparison in our column plus the vermont one for sure. should we sweep we'll definatley be in the top 10 after this weekend.

according to hak hextall probably won't play this weekend

do we even know if davidson is even good at fighting? people kept saying the same thing about finley because of his size and didn't get his ass kicked in his first pro game?

this is too important of a series and stretch to have a regular drop the mitts and be gone sat as well. would we really want to see hill out there if say blood did it on fri? I don't think so. I've also heard Hak say in years past there comes a point in the season where he won't allow this stuff to happen because the games are too important, especially in our present situation. the best retaliation would be for us too sweep 'em.

a little bit of all these.

I think they have more to worry about than getting revenge on someone at this point. now if they are up 6-1 on friday night....

not so sure on this one.

I think that had something to do with it, that being said none of the goaltenders we'll face in the next four weeks are in the same class as those two.

maybe, just maybe this weekend may have awoken a sleeping giant and in about 3 weeks teams across this country will be going, oh s@#*.

how dare you have a positve attitude in these downtrodden(sp) times.

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.
