T-bone for dinner tonight, ground chuck for tomorrow. Let's kick some Maverick butt! GO SIOUX!!!

A great game for the Fighting Sioux indeed. Holding St. Could to 15 SOG is a defensive clinic, and great to see the team hitting the net hard and putting in the rebounds. I think we are starting to see this team get up to speed. Six goals per game, It's all I ask. ;-) That will make Mr. Dell's job that much easier. GO SIOUX!!!

I had 71-71 % and in period 3 about 12 min mark things started going bad, so I went out to clear snow (plenty on the dish) then came back in, zippo. Couldn't find it again. Fortunately the internet didn't let me down!

;-) It may well not. But it's fun to dream. Nice thing about this team is the depth. There are a number of line options even with two key players set aside. Hopefully Hextall will mend quickly and completely, and Gregoire is able to play.

If we are short Messers Gregoire and Hextall the following lines may be more advantageous: Trupp <> Malone <> Frattin Kristo <> Knight <> Genoway Cichy <> Nelson <> Rodwell Rowney <> Lameroux <> Bruneteau (or Gleason) which gives us a d corps of Blood - Forbort Lapoint - Marto MacWilliam - Simpson Moving Chay up to forward opens more options 5x5, imho.

A long series of home and road sweeps, followed by a MacNaughton Cup, Broadmore Trophy, and National Championship. Hey, you asked...

Bad call or not, the GTG was awarded and the GWG did NOT happen. Had they been able to bury one more opportunity the Sioux would have "played well enough to win". I'm not trying to nitpick here, just saying that the game includes the calls that don't go your way. The Fighting Sioux had plenty more power play minutes than the gold-hats and still came away with a tie, even gave up a shortie and had over two minutes of PP time in OT. So no...good enough to win wasn't there, imho. This team has enough firepower to score six goals per game. Why they sometimes don't still mystify's me, but because they have shown that on occasion, I think they'll pull it together and soon we'll see five and six goal games more often. Hopefully they are working shooting drills in practice so we can avoid trying to dent the opposing goalie's brisket so much each game. JBSU is currently NOT a top twenty team, and the Fighting Sioux cannot afford to make them look like one. They will need to get the puck deep and bury their chances, and come away with 4 where Omaha did not. Plain and simple. GO SIOUX!!!

4 point MUST. Agreed. I have a good feeling about next weekend. Aaron Marvin will be bringing his team to town, and there will be Blood on the ice. What can go wrong? But seriously, I think this is the weekend we'll see Mr. Kristo break the seal and unleash the floodwaters. He's due. GO SIOUX!!!

Yes it is. Insurance against the "Checking too hard" five minute major and game DQ.

Bucky has their hands full for the second straight week, but I'm pullin for a split!

Yes, it will be a streamed version of a local broadcast. So prepare for the homer announcer. OR Turn down the volume on that media player, and open up Tim H. on another browser session and listen there. Only works if the two are sync'd time wise tho... But TH is a great announcer to listen to.

It is VERY good to see MacWilliam back in the lineup. Hopefully B.E. has given Hak a reason in practice to give him another shot. He has certainly been able to see that Dell is capable of the job. This is Brad's shot. The way the defense played last weekend, he has a better than average chance. If they play with the same proficiency tonight and tomorrow that they did both nights in Madison, Sioux sweep. GO SIOUX!!!

There is also the very common brisket save, and the very awkward mask save. But regarding pipes...not every ding of the metal means a goal not scored. Thankfully, sometimes.

It will not be the first time someone playing the Fighting Sioux has had their bell rung.

Traditional Farce territory. A time-honored tradition of needling d-bags like Ethier among many others. Home ice advantage indeed. "Who's she? She sucks!" <<<I miss that one at every home game I attend.

That was a sweet win to attend. The badger fans around us had been pretty abusive that night, especially the bearded lady.

B2 is showing a link for a Friday webcast...seven bucks. http://www.b2tv.com/upcoming_events.asp?q=s&value=hockey Nothing about Sat. night yet.

Would love to see a video of that hit. Anyone have one? To answer other questions...State Street Brats (603 State St.) is a good Sioux hangout before a game in MadTown.

I'll second that. Godspeed Jesse, my best thoughts and prayers.

McClown is obviously waiting until Papa Shep has his INCH picks done.

Friday - Hextall Saturday - Knight

If Chay wasn't back this year he'd be playing every game. We'll see a LOT more of him next season, I'm sure. And, the year is young. Injuries may give him the opportunity he needs (not that I'm in favor of injuries). It is a luxury to have someone like him ready to play when we need his talents.

Nice writeup. Quite frankly, I'm more than ready for a pair of "Take 'em to the woodshed" victories. GO SIOUX!!!
