Thought I'd toss this in for good measure.
-
As a die-hard fan, I welcome the chance to watch our TEAM get between the U of Me and a National Championship.
Any opportunity to beat the gophers, and in the Frozen Four? So much the better.
-
One of these days we are going to throttle BC and it will be so so good.
I will settle for a 1-0 shutout.
-
Hats off to Ferris State...they left it all on the ice.
Awesome effort by UND tonight. Zane was an absolute wall after letting in that first goal. No doubt he's the first star of the game.
See you in Philly!

Let's Go Sioux!!

I expect Ferris to bring their "A" game. We will need everything from four lines AND a great game from Zane to get a ticket to Philly. A lot of WCHA teams lost a a lot of games to Ferris State this year, and they deserve the respect that comes with holding the MacNaughton.
That said, if we play tomorrow like we did tonight, I really like our odds at wearing new hats by the end of the night.
I just might have to make a trip to the Spectrum.
GO SIOUX!!!

Bueler? Ferris?
Pucker up Ferris.
Here comes the Big One.
GO SIOUX!!!

Not one damn bit to most but was just wondering if anyone happen to know
Go sioux
Let's just say I bet a lot with my buddies and that was one of the many bets! Go sioux
I admit, I love it when they wear the Business Suits and TCB. Nothin' better. I'd be fine with that.

GreenonGreenonGreen or business suits tonight?
Does it matter? Just win!

I remember this name...and I didn't take him for a walk-on. Not for a minute. It was a name I didn't want to see on the ice...like MIcheletti.
Like all Sioux fans, I appreciate the competitive spirit of a man who would play league hockey into his late forties.
Another stick tap. Raise 'em high.

Interesting fact. Didn't they play each other from '80 to '84?
They beat the Badgers in the '82 National Championship game. That was their only Tournament meeting until 2008, in Madison.
-
That Duncan goal off the Oshie drop pass was the pipe shot heard round the world. That klank put an exclamation mark on a goal that really killed the Badger momentum and the crowd.
THIS one?

I was there for that regional as I lived in Madison at the time.
The Sioux beat Princeton the game before, but did not play well at all. The shots were heavily lopsided to Princeton, but the Sioux capitalized on their chances.
We had a lot of UW fans talking smack to us during the first two periods of the UW/UND game with the F4 trip on the line. Oddly enough, they all quieted pretty quickly once the Sioux tied it early in the 3rd. Then when Kozek won it, our whole section of UW fans filed out very quickly with just the Sioux fans going nuts. Great times!
That was a great game to be at. UW fans were pretty abrasive during periods 1 and 2, and got pretty fiesty when the charge on Finley wasn't called. But that GTG by Duncan sure took the volume out of the Big Red house. I can still hear that ring of the pipe if I close my eyes. Great game.
-
How quickly we turn on Wisconsin. Perhaps it is fitting that they are the first round opponent.
Should be a great weekend of hockey. Old rivalry, win or go home...what's not to love? It's Spring, and we're in the tourney.
Bring the same game from here out, and I like our chances.
-
No softies, few penalties, won races, pucks gotten deep, traffic in front, two snipes, a tip, and a bounce.
GO SIOUX!!!

REDHAWK DOWN!!!
GO SIOUX!!!

I love your avatar...that takes a guy back...
Thanks...I was lucky enough to stop by in the late eighties as they were closing and someone was able to find my old mug. I normally keep it in the freezer, but bring it out for an occasional game, frosted and ready for use. Frenchy was a true fan of the Green and White...fond memories of huddling in his place with a hundred others in a room big enough for sixty, watching the "big screen" with Prairie Public broadcasting the games. That old projection tv was probably 320p, about as grainy as they come, but nobody cared...they could watch the Sioux take down another opponent. Fun times, for sure.

JUST WIN
^^^^^^^^^^^
THIS!!

I guess there's only one thing left to do.
Win the whole ****ing thing.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm in. Let's DO THIS.

Your 3rd point was something I've been thinking before but always dismissed. However, you are absolutely right. Some fans(definitely not me) seem to be tentative to join in the Let's Go Sioux chant. I saw it happen at the women's basketball game and Sioux hockey games last weekend. Someone would try to start it and everyone would just clap to the beat instead of vocalizing "Let's Go Sioux". It's too bad because I really hoped that the misguided decision by the Board of "Higher Education" would not affect people's use of the term Sioux although it appears it is beginning to, at least with the average fan. As far as the diehards...we'll say "Let's Go Sioux" until the day we die.
(cue gopher troll)
I am one who will chant with you. At the 2008 regional in Madison I was seated with a few other Sioux fans in the traditional "student section" of the Kohl center. There were about twenty wearing green, in a sea of red clad fans. (cue the side-burned lady joke) The Wisco bunch started chanting "Let's go Red", and we out yelled them with "Sioux" so much that they changed their chant to "F^#k you old people" clap, clap....clap clap clap. I took it as a point of pride that we took them far enough off their game so as to have to try and insult us like that. It was doubly delicious to have our Sioux come back and tie the game in the third, then win it in OT. I will always relish cheering the Sioux, victory or not.

Part of this was a design flaw in the Ralph. Sure, the Ralph is beautiful, no bad sight lines, etc., but they designed it like a pro arena. Students are a unique and essential part of the college game. For a college hockey arena, they should have designed a student section right into the design. A section where the students could stand and not block the view of others. I know people will say you don't need to stand to get into the game. That's true. But it's also true that, for whatever reason, students like to stand and are louder and more into the game when they stand. Rather than fight that, the Ralph should have embraced it.
Yes x 5. And it should be RIGHT BEHIND the opposing goalie in the first and third, LOWER BOWL. Let the students have their fun...it's their team, their school, their pride.

One thing is obvious about the fans who travel, they are true SIOUX fans. Often with a loud "SIOUX" at the end of the anthem, and always with a good number of "Let's Go Sioux" chants in opponents barns. Quite frankly, I love to hear it over any webcast, and gladly take part when I'm "traveling" for a game.
Sadly, I don't hear that type of cheering from fans at REA when games are broadcast there. Occasionally someone will get a wave going, or maybe a "Let's Go Sioux" chant will catch on on a late power play, but many times these efforts fall short of what I've heard in other arena's (especially the Xcel center).
Let's rock the Target Center next weekend, and I hope hear the chants loud and proud in Philly!
Let's Go Sioux!!!

#13 it is, thanks Jim. We'll take it.
Waiting for your analysis of 1 win vs. 2 next week.
FROZEN 4 - Philadelphia - UND-MN-BC-UNION

Love that clip, but I insist it's "Wehr's Corner", not Frattin's corner. Just a point of order. Those boards still have Wehr's DNA on 'em.
