Spirko from Zajac, nice pass...GOAL. 1-1.

Sioux score, Campion waves it off.

Nice play by Prpich, just misses and draws a penalty.

Now a penalty on Porter for cross-checking.

Excellent penalty kill, Sioux had the better scoring chances.

5-min spearing on McMahon and game disqualification.

No excuses tonight. 60 minutes of good hockey.

FWIW, here are the scoring stats of our current seniors going back to when they were Freshmen, note that Fylling's freshman year was actually one year earlier then the rest since he went to the USHL for a year. Also, Genoway had to sit out his freshman year. Name Yr GP G A Pts.

The entire class as a whole peaked as Sophs, not what you want to see. Don't understand what happened to Quinn, as a Soph he played a lot with Parise and Bo and as a Jr his scoring was almost as good. This year he is a non-factor. Masson had a good first half as a Soph and nothing since. Only two players have shown consistent scoring improvement, Genoway and McMahon. For the Sioux to do anything in the NCAA (or maybe even make the tourney), the seniors need to step it up big time. Don't have much faith that will happen.

I attended both games and while Fridays game was fairly even in play with a slight advantage to the Sioux, Saturdays game was completely one-sided. The one goal CC had on Sat was when the Sioux had their 4th line out I believe, along with Smaby and Radke on defense...didn't understand why these two were paired up at that time but I really don't like the pairing, too many mistakes. After the goal I don't believe they were paired again for the rest of the game. The Sioux really deserved 3-4 points in the series. Based on seeing CC four times (all against UND) I don't see them going very far, I am not overly impressed with their team. Maybe the sample size is too small. Also, anyone know how CC awards the three stars of the game ? I am assuming they only consider CC players since they got all three stars each night. If they do consider both teams then someone has vision problems or is the biggest homer in all of sports.

Not sure a signed letter is any better than a verbal in this case since it appears that if he doesn't go to UND he would go major junior. In that case the LOI wouldn't stop a player from leaving. There are a few players every year that leave college programs for major junior. Welcome to the Sioux, Jonathan!

They really need to be in the top 14 PWR at minimum because two of the auto bids will be for teams that aren't in the top 16. Since there could be upsets in the other conference tourneys they really need to be top 12 to be in the field for sure. It is definitely time for them to kick it into gear if they can or they might not even make the NCAA tourney. With a heavy senior lineup this is totally unacceptable for Sioux hockey. I haven't given up hope for the frozen four yet, but any more w/e's like the last one and I just might. If they would start taking care of the home games (sweep) and split on the road they should make the tourney and have a chance to do something. Last year I thought the Sioux were the best team in the country. This year they have as good or better goaltending and a better powerplay. The defense should be as good or better since we have the same players with another year of experience, but it is not working out that way. With the offense having difficulty scoring (didn't think I would ever say that for a Sioux team) they have to play better defense than last year. That would be the challenge I would put to them as a coach. Even if the offense picks up a bit they will not make it to the frozen four, much less win it all, without a significant improvement in defense. There are only 12 games left for the Sioux until WCHA playoffs (two weekends without any games). Six home (Bemidji State, Denver, Wisconsin) and six away (CC, AA, St. Cloud). They need to start showing consistent intensity and defensive improvement starting this w/e with CC. I will be going to CC for the games and I hope to see the beginning of this.

Looks like Brian Lee made the USA team. USA roster

Canady, 1-0 Sioux

Seems like a recurrent theme. This is one of the first w/e's I have listened, from what it sound this has been a problem for numerous games. Any idea who to email ? Maybe a barrage of emails will help.
