CCHA refs (Shegos and Co.) have seen hitting before, and are more likely to call interference than cross-checking. The Eastern ref's seem to focus on holding, trips, and slashing. Harvard got into huge trouble with that against the Sioux last season out East, during the first of our two game series. Keep the hands on your stick. That being said, the contact to the head rule will surely be in play and will be watched closely. I have to think CFB will still be watched closely as well. More important will be our ability to make short, smart passes and not give up any breakaway chances to either of the Eastern teams. When the Sioux play smart, physical, good puck control hockey they are next to impossible to beat. GO SIOUX!!

The Sioux will NOT be out-snarled!! GO SIOUX!!!

Most deservedly so. Congratulations Mr. Kristo!! Go Sioux!

Somebody put all these up on Justin for us, ok?

We beat Alaska in my bracket. They are an easy team to overlook, and BC may be just too focused on another shot at the Sioux. I think the Alaskans will come to play and give BC a game.

What about Joe Sensers in Plymouth?

I see your point. Got to take 'em seriously tho...let Holy Cross be our lesson there. Prepare for battle, know thy enemy. BC fans will be there cheering on Yale, you can bet your life on that. But I'm sure the Sioux coaches and players are not looking past this game at all. Bring 'em on! GO SIOUX!!!

Life is easier if you can count your failures as successes. Potato-patahto for goofer fans.

Agreed! Something like the B2TV network provides...I'd buy at least four games next weekend if I could.

I like what I saw all weekend. 1 shutout, one take-the-lead-and-keep-it, and one come-from-behind. Against three of the top teams in the country (the second game against #1). This team is poised to win 4 more. GO SIOUX!!

I know Bemidji hasn't played well their past couple games, but I wouldn't chalk them up as losers to Michigan quite yet. That will likely be a great game to watch, as would a Bemidji = Miami rematch (if it happens).

Hats off to the Fighting Sioux! 2010 Red Barron Final Five Tournament Champions and Broadmoor trophy winners! Your hard work has paid off! Great tournament!!! GO SIOUX!!!

Thanks for the posts Bob. What a great bounce pass from Kristo to make that play.

Just home from the game, great gritty win by the Sioux. They dominated play the first two periods and hung in there, kept working hard, and it paid off. Sixty more minutes like that tomorrow night...keep the puck headed to the net! GO SIOUX!!

Katie, Give us five, then BAR THAT DOOR! GO SIOUX!!

How much for the black chopper? (Always wanted one...) GO SIOUX!!

Looking for some dead varmint this weekend! GO SIOUX!!!

That would have been 01-02 season.

Great for the Seniors to bring the team back and pull one out in the third. Come from behind is something winners need to feel like they can do. Bring on the goofers, this team is READY! GO SIOUX!!

Great last 40 min. by the Sioux tonight. Played with a lot of confidence once the flood gates opened. Let's come back and get two more points tomorrow night! GO SIOUX!!

No signal at this time. Is this a 7:30 game? TH working the "pregame show"...so video may not be up for fifteen more minutes.

Nothin on my FTA yet either... :-( TH interviewing Hak right now on the audio link. No video link on FS.com...

Oh yeah, foot stays on the gas all weekend, for sure. GO SIOUX!!

Would this include them playing the Sioux? Not that we blew out CC like we did St. Could, but I think the Sioux are playing a notch or two better than they did even a month ago against the Pio's. I could see DU and/or UW losing to the Sioux right now. Then again, last time I checked, I was green-blooded, so I admit to some bias up front. It all comes down to goal scoring though. The Sioux can hold teams to two or three goals. Can they out-score that mark? They are starting to look like they can. I like their chances.

Eids did have a solid weekend in the pipes, but sheesh...I'd like to see him notch a shutout here and there. Maybe next weekend? (Didn't he shutout Tech early in the year?) Great road win for the Sioux, they certainly look to be very solid defensively. The penalty kill was great, and nice to see the pp notch goals each night too. GO SIOUX!!
