  1. Best of luck Ryan! Thanks for all the great memories over the years. We have loved watching you display your talents.

    Oh...and one other thing. Last year's Regionals in Madison when the Sioux were playing Princeton, there was a spot in the game where a Princeton player was laying on the ice, hurt. You had the puck, play continued, there might have been a chance to score "shorthanded", but instead you gently tucked the puck under the hurt player, stopping play.

    That's the classiest move I've ever seen in college hockey and Hobey Baker himself would have been proud.

    Take that class, and your great skills to the next level. You'll be a star no matter whose sweater you pull over your head.

  2. like i stated my point is they hardly trael. as pointed out those were over 8 seasons. thats my point. i dont care one way or another. just pointing out they hardly travel non conference and its proven in the chedules going back a ways. thats all. the michigan tourney is usually the only one every season with a few spread in here and there.

    go sioux

    go beavers

    lets the beavs in

    But....if we let the Beavers in the Gophers will NEVER win the DQ cup!!! :D

  3. Yeah, I was wondering about the "healthy scratch numerous times" thing. I sit in the Sioux d-zone two periods a game; replacing Jones is going to take a pretty special freshman. I didn't see too many opposing forwards wanting to go into the corner with Zach.

    Right on. Jones will be missed. His skates might not be as large as Finley's, but it'll take a real man to fill 'em.

    Blackouts optional. :D

  4. Has anyone noticed that the CCHA has had a lot of players sign this season? Also it appears that H.E. isn't going to be immune this year

    when it comes to early defections.

    I think after the successes of guys like Kessel, Gionta, Towes, Oshie, etc., the Pro's are taking a longer look at college talent across the board. Even if they don't go straight to "The Show" the consideration of signing college players is on a significant upswing. I also think this is good for the game of college hockey. If players stay 4 years, great, and if they move on because they have a shot at a pro career, good for them. I think it makes the game that much more exciting to have future stars of the NHL skating in the college arenas on Friday and Saturday nights...even if they do skate for Michigan or BC. And, of course, the Sioux!

  5. I think I am less upset about this loss than what I would have been had it not been such a crazy tourney so far.

    Three #1 seeds are out. BSU has a chance to make it to the F4. Vermont going to the F4 for the 1st time since 1996, Miami going for the 1st time ever. And BU looks to be dominant. The parity in college hockey has really shown in the last couple days...anyone can beat anyone.

    So while I am still upset that the Sioux couldn't join in on the fun for longer, it still has been a very exciting tourney.

    Might just as well cheer for the Beavers to win it all! :(

  6. Duncan, Finley, Kozek, Jones, Watkins, Miller, Martens and Walski:

    Thank you for 4 seasons of Fighting Sioux hockey.

    Good luck in your endeavors after college. Whether it be to continue playing hockey or starting a career non-hockey related.

    Certainly am going to miss those guys...every one. Thanks, all of you, for the great memories. And yes, best wishes in your every future endeavor.

  7. Have we worn these yet this year? If so, when? What was the outcome? I don't remember seeing/hearing that we wore those at all this year.

    They were worn the second night at SCSU following a 3-0 shutout by the Huskies the night before. Sioux won the second game 4-2, I believe. ;-)

  8. No way tOSU beats BU today, just isn't in the cards the Sioux are going to have to beat UNH and BU to get to the Frozen Four.

    If you want the title, you have to beat all the other great teams out there...if the Sioux have to beat BU to advance, then that's what they will need to do. But let's take care of New Hampshire first!!

    GO SIOUX!!

  9. With all due respect, I thought it was a legit trip call. He doesn't catch his shins with his stick, and it was a 3 on 2 or 3 on 1 break for the Dogs.

    Heck of a way to end a season; two goals with less than 40 seconds left in the game. Or as Yogi Berra always said.... :silly:

    Go Sioux!

    Yogi never said half the things he said. :D :D

  10. I had fun with the Air Force upset and then the Miami upset and I even thought it was kind of fun that Yale got upset, but when it looked like the Dogz were going to get upset as well, I kind of got nervous about what that might mean for the Sioux tomorrow, so with the Dogz winning tonight I feel a little better and like the idea of the Sioux being the only "top" seed to make it out of the semis on Sat. :D

    The Sioux are very, very narrow "favorites" in that game.

    http://blog.siouxsports.com/2009/03/25/kra...the-tournament/

    Though, like you, I see them as the dominant force in that region. :huh:

  11. And Schneekloth completely missing his assignment. :D

    Ok, I'm over it...maybe not yet.

    Two things about that game.

    1. Karl gives up a limp wristed goal to start things off.

    2. The Sioux could not score 5x5.

    Close only counts in horseshoes, hand-grenades, atom bombs, and dancing.

  12. and, as I remember it, the intermission before OT allowed BC to regroup, momentum to swing 180 and the Sioux to lose a heartbreaker. I hope a better fate awaits the Dogs.

    The goal that beat the Sioux was nothing but a championship-level goal. It wasn't about momentum, but about a player giving his all. (And a goalie missing a poke check).

  13. Depends on who they are playing. BC or BU then yes but only because of what BC has done to the Sioux over the last couple of years, and BC and BU because of the East Coast bias. I really, really DO NOT like the Goofs but WCHA pride needs to show. Everyone on here makes the arguement that we are the best so lets show it, a win is a win.

    Dogs tie, GO dogs! and GO SIOUX!!

    It's easy to not like the goofs for their style of play. But look at history...look at what DU has cost the Sioux over the years. Seriously...there are lots of reasons to begrudge the Pio's. And yet, yes, they are a good team, one to respect, and I DO have WCHA pride...but I'll gladly cheer for UMD to take this region rather than DU.
