    Let the Alaska rout begin!

    I'll post the goals for those that might want to know the details, if somebody else is on feel free to take it further. I wish I could be there, but oh well I'll just watch the Wild, Gophers and listen to us over the computer.

    The first one was Murray from Stafford and Parise.

    first, IONA

    then, FAIRFIELD

    now, FINDLAY

    is ALASKA next???

    I tried looking up the definition of what a seawolf was and it couldn't be found. They must be an extinct species, hey maybe Fournier ate them all?

    Our upcoming schedule seems pretty easy, as long as we keep playing the way we are and as long as somebody else can beat Wisconsin and Colorado a few times (Since we only play each team twice), we should be able to do it. These are my predictions the rest of the way. Our schedule doesn't seem too tough, just that we are on the road quite a bit. If the outcomes are this way, we should be okay. If we do better than these predictions, we shouldn't have to worry about how the other teams play. We just need to take care of the teams we need to take care of. I feel the team will be on an emotional high with our returning heros and nothing will stop us.

    Alaska (Sweep)

    Tech (Sweep)

    Minn. (Split)

    Denver (Sweep or split?)

    Wisconsin (Split)

    Colorado (Split)

    Mankato (Sweep)

    Duluth (Sweep or split?)

    Tech (Sweep)

    When will the playoff calculator return with the possible places each team will finish? That was fun last year. Maybe I am just thinking too far ahead.

    It was great to see the game on television and the play-by-play was okay, but they didn't show many replays and highlights. I can't remember if the Fighting Sioux network keeps up with replays, but Fox Sports Net does a great job. There were a few times in the game that I wanted to see something again, but they never showed it. The only replay I remember was the Brandt glove save on his back. They didn't replay all of the penalties that were taken as well as other nice plays. I am sure that this will get better in time though, if they ever come to agreements with cable providers.

    The one thing I thought was interesting is that Katie O'Keefe conducted the interviews. Does she work for Victory sports and not up at The Ralph or was it just because the Sioux were playing and it was a special circumstance? Either way she is great to look at! It was funny watching her conduct interviews of St. Cloud players and they appeared very intimidated by her looks and didn't make much eye contact and stuttered their words. :angry:

    GOOD SERIES SIOUX, ON WITH ALASKA!!!

    (By the way, anybody figure out what a seawolf is yet?)

    It was a really fast paced game the entire time so everybody's legs were probably very tired. The main reason that players were falling down though was that the ice looked very chipped up and snowy even at the start of overtime, especially around the nets and by the benches. The puck got stuck a bunch of times along the boards, but nothing like the time last year that the puck came to a dead stop in the Gopher game right at the start of a period, that was great! :D They had two zamboni machines and they still missed a strip in front of the benches the entire length of the ice before the start of the 3rd.

    I was there also, thanks Dagies. It was my first time in an opposing arena other than Mariucci and I had a blast. Our defense looked a little shaky at times, but once we started playing more physical and with the body we were okay. That last goal for St. Cloud to tie was tough. I can't remember who was on defense but he looked as if he was going to pick the guy up but didn't, which allowed him to shoot and gather his own rebound.

    Brandon did play excellent out there. He does a great job on both ends of the ice just like Parise and Murray. They all kind of remind me a little of Jeff Panzer and Jason Blake as well as the many other past forwards we have had that were always hustling. Brandon is a great stick handler just like Roche. He has it all. When we had the 5-3 power play it was obvious that we were trying to get Brandon the puck to sniper it home and I think that St. Cloud caught onto this right away, which made it tough even for him put home after three attempts. This is when it would have been great to have a few more go to guys out there to draw more attention to themselves.

    Adam Coole reminded me a little of Karl G. the way he made some of those great saves to give them a chance and after they tied it he was doing a little dance and showing some emotion. That was fun to see, too bad it was against us though. He did make many great saves, glove and on sprawling on his back for one. We applied great pressure once we were relaxed.

    FACE-OFFS!!! This was a major key to the game. I don't know any of the percentages but we definitely had the advantage in this category. This was huge for controlling and setting up the puck, as was showcased with Bochenski's blast that clanged off the cross-bar with 8 ticks left.

    I was surprised that Ziggy was the back up last night, anybody hear why? I was thinking either Brandt wasn't healthy or Dean wanted to give Brandt a birds eye view of the action to prepare for Saturday or possibly give Ziggy a last chance to shine if needed.

    I think the penalties were called pretty fairly. We took some stupid ones and brought the pressure on ourselves. We need to stay out of the box tonight because though the Huskies power play didn't do much against our tough defense, they might in time.

    :D?? I have a question. When the referee calls a penalty and we pull our goalie for an extra attacker, how long does the opposing team specifically the goalie, need to control the puck for? The reason I ask this is because we had a very quick whistle to stop play after we were in this situation and the puck just glanced off of the goalie and he didn't have control. Is it if it just touches the goalie or does he need to control or cover it? Coole clearly didn't have control of the puck in this situation and he benefited by a quick whistle.

    I hope that Brandon has enough left in the tank for tonight because he was everywhere. Hopefully others will step up again and play to their full potential and then some. We need to dig deep as we did last night.

    Plenty of Sioux fans at the arena which made for a great environment. I am very proud to be a Sioux fan the way we show such great class in an opposing venue. Every Sioux fan is so nice and outgoing it makes it very comfortable and enjoyable to watch a game.

    Tonight they won't be dissapointed. (Sioux win 3-2)
