We miss Cole Smith. He was valuable and we need a muscle guy. Hopefully Kleven fits the bill upon return.

I think we have seen the last of Scheel for this season, barring a Thome injury. Time to “dance with who brung ya.” no gimmes in this conference but CC is a better matchup than Miami.

Win tonight and a dirty tie tomorrow. 4 point weekend. Then we’re on to CC.

Franks (52nd Ave South) is good - agreed, Jeff the owner is a long-time Sioux fan. Also a good throwback to the Pink Pussycat bar in downtown Fargo from a bygone era. Food is actually pretty good too. Gastropub used to be a good place as they had all games (home and road) but not so much anymore. They play music instead of game sound. Tailgators is a good sports bar with above average bar food- known more so as a home for Vikings/Bison fans though.

^This. High time someone finally said it.

3-1 UND (ENG) Adams, Pinto 2x Western Michigan is a solid team now that they are back healthy.

Davies 4 Century 1 South/Shanley 6 Minot 1 Red River 10 Jamestown 0 Central 2 Bismarck 1 f/ot Semifinals: South/Shanley 2 Davies 1 Red River 4 Central 3 Final: South/Shanley 2 Red River 0

Not to get ahead of ourselves but...… Regarding the Penrose and possible "Cupage" Duluth is playing out in CC on Friday (late start/late finish/unknown result) so even if UND wins it still won't know anything on Friday Night as far as conference title goes. As stoneySIOUX says, Saturday could be the night (and I hope it is) where they can be awarded the conference title in front of the home fans.

I am looking forward to the business suits as I am in attendance tonight. Also a share of the Penrose if things work out well. Time for another white banner (and eventually another green one too).

2-2 OT tie UND gets extra point in 3x3

This marks three straight league game losses for the Pios; albeit against the top two teams in the conference. Beware of the wounded animal. The boys need to stay out of the box, play with intensity, and send these guys back to the Mile High City smarting from a sweep.

CBSSN coverage is always good IMO. Those rapid fire intermission questions fell flat through. Denver’s coach Carle didn’t come across as a very charismatic individual. Bill Belicheck is a whirling dervish compared to him.

Another hard fought, evenly matched struggle with DU. Let’s keep it going and finish.

Let’s start the weekend off right with the boys keeping up the Penrose pace. UND 2, DU 1

1. Minnesota - I think it all started with Mazako and Woog and their elitist bull$h!t. 2. St. Clown - wannabe institution and their fans/program seem to think they are among NCAA’s best. A few years back in a press release they edited out the Sioux logo on the front of a jersey to make a political point. People don’t forget. 3. Michigan - see Frozen Four 2011, still the toughest loss I have endured as a fan. That and what seemed like Red’s refusal time schedule regular season games with UND i should “hate” Denver and Duluth but I don’t. They are programs I respect as they field good teams and make for great games to watch. I have always had a soft spot for CC.

Tickets sold. Thank you.

You will get no argument from me. He is almost impossible to get past. South/Shanley could go far with him between the pipes. 3-0 Bruins final by the way. Looking strong for a top two seed.

3-0 South/Shanley through two. Shots tightening at 19-16 in favor of Bruins. Zach Sandy strong in net - nice goalie.

Davies hosting South/Shanley tonight at FU Arena. South’s speed showing up as they lead 1-0 after one. Shots: 12-5 in favor of Bruins.

This is encouraging to say the least - St Cloud, Omaha series will be key road trips to end the year.

Selling three tickets - Section 314, Row D for February 1st game vs. Colorado College Students are back, team is rolling and it's a conference game when they matter most. Nice seats in a fan-friendly location - close access to North End Club Bar Tickets can be sent electronically 3 for $100 or best offer- $49 face value

Hain, Sendin, Smith line clicks tonight. Thome solid it net. 4-1 for our boys. “we’re on to Duluth.”

Solid effort last night by South/Shanley. Central outshot the Bruins but South’s goalie made some great saves and South hung around the whole game - even went up 3-1 in the second. www.ShanleyTV.com has archived replay of the game they streamed live if anyone wants to watch the recap.

I have to admit I am thinking along the lines with Schloss on this one - I've been thinking all week that it could be a split but in the end, they stay "unbeaten" at home. Friday: 1-1 Tie (UNO gets 3x3 point) Saturday: 4-1 UND
