I think the only time the league factors in the conference games thing is with the statistical categories like scoring champion and goaltending champing. the all conference teams are more objective because they are voted on by coaches, media, and team captains, so those individuals can look at overall stats as well to formulate an opinion.

No kidding. He even said he voted that way because he has a man crush or whatever on Zucker and decided Mike Connolly was player of the year in December. Call me crazy, but I don't think too many others are going to be voting that way. If Frattin is not the POTY it would be a complete travesty IMO.

And the play of the goalie helps the TEAM W IN. I don't know why you came here besides to argue with those who don't share your opinion. For crying out loud.... I haven't been this annoyed in like...3 hours. Clearly it's Monday.

He's going to come back to play the game in his hometown! In all seriousness, I'd bet good money if I had any that he'd be back. He's not going to leave to go play in the minors, which is where he would be going.

Well don't come on here and tell people what to think. Everyone on here is entitled to their own opinion. Some do feel Patterson is a first team goalie, others feel Dell is. So I wouldn't go around saying we're not objective. Maybe Patterson's league leading save percentage or whatever should have led his team to more wins....this argument can go both ways...

This is a Sioux board. If we think Dell should be first team goalie... we will. You won't be getting a Patterson love fest from me.

I like when those arguments come from fans of teams he has shut out.

Dell gets very little respect around the league... and by that I mean by fans of other teams. I know we have a good d-core ... but someone's got to help prevent the goalie from being hung out to dry.... That said, if Dell is not on at least one of the all-conference teams that is just a shame.

Maybe that will happen...

True. To be honest, I wasn't expecting this one to come up here anyways. Heck, this was the first time I had ever even heard we were recruiting him.

Nothing big here but.... Holy Angels forward Joe LaBate committed to Wisconsin today. I guess he called off visits to UND and Minnesota as soon as he got home... I thought that was interesting.

Seriously?

According to this bracket :http://www.collegehockeynews.com/reports/confinfo.php?d=bracket&c=6 the Gophers would play the winner of SCSU and UMD on Thursday at the Final Five. Then we would play the winner of that game. Sounds like a Friday night game either way for us. Of course, the bottom of this bracket also says teams are reseeded for the Final Five?

His team is fading (win last night notwithstanding). He needs something to snark about.

Sorry I couldn't hear that over all the boos at Ridder. The UM staff may not hold any ill will, but others do and that could be a misconception by fans in our fan base. Seriously, it's not like the Twins transferring really affected the Gophers in a negative way. That said, of course the Wisco forwards on the 1st team have over 70 points.... they've lost 2 games all year.

Of course I missed the goal due to this crappy computer....

Going to a HS game at 4, so I will miss this game as well, but will be watching online later tonight. I hope the twitter updates are sufficient unlike last Friday. Really should get a more capable phone with better internet access... Let's go boys!

I'll take Knight.

Class A MN girls state championship game features the battle of the Sioux recruits: Warroad (basically Team Sioux haha) vs South St Paul (featuring Sam LaShomb). Nice.

I'll take our goaltending as is, thanks.

It holds 2300. Do they have standing room? Never been to Purpur. It'd be cool if they maxed out the capacity. I wish I could be there. I'm stuck in Minneapolis. Hopefully they win to make it down here next weekend so I can possibly go watch!

For some reason i always thought they did Midwest vs Northeast and West vs East.... I don't know why I thought that.

Seriously?

It should be after. When we played in the Icebreaker in Boston, it was after the exhibition.

Nope. It was the Icebreaker announcement. SO pumped. Must get tickets.
