to cover all bases:
if the team that showed up against denver plays-princeton in a close one 2-1
if the team that played against cc shows up sioux 5-1
if a team somewhere in the middle shows up sioux 3-2
I'm really eager to see how this team comes out on saturday. this is what these guys came back for and starting this weekend this will be what some of these guys' legacy will be based upon. do they become legends in Sioux hockey history or do they they become an afterthought when talking about the greatest Sioux teams ever? We start to find out Saturday at 2.
not that it matters but if the sioux somehow, someway pull out a miracle today and win they could go to worcester as the 3 seed along with bc and nh could go to the springs to protect bracket integrity. but that is counting chickens before they hatch.
what difference does it make if they call the clutching and grabbing or not? we don't taker advantage of the powerplay opportunities anyway-it's just 2 minutes of gametime wiped away.
as much as it pains me to say I think the gophers are a better team than us right now and in fact remind me of our 2005 team that went all the way to the title game. I think the gophers will make the frozen four.
cc 5-1, the sioux have shown absolutely no heart or desperationt he last month. we are far from playing are best hockey. we get sent to the springs and come home next saturday with nothing except a farewell to finley, chorney, oshie and duncs(?).
