7>4

People bitching about a 41-14 win. Priceless.

Excellent post. My whole point is that there is no way you can rule that conclusive evidence showed the play offsides based on the angle that was used. The only person viewing the play from the correct position was the linesman who ruled a legal entry. At a minimum, they should look at this rule or install a camera along with blue line.

Based on this I believe the puck has to be across the edge of the line closest to the goal. Still doesn't change my opinion of the call. The blue line is always considered to be part of the zone in which the puck is in. Therefore, when the puck is entering the attacking zone, the “determining edge” of the blue line shall be the edge closest to the attacking goal. Therefore, the determination as to whether an “off-sides” has occurred will only take place at the moment the puck has completely crossed the determining edge into the attacking zone. A player only needs to have skate contact with one skate with the blue line to be considered "on-side."

Yep, that's the view I kept seeing and thinking "how the F is that indisputable evidence of offsides?" Unless you can see white between Hoff's skates and the blue line before the puck enters the zone there is no way, IMO, that you overturn the call on the ice made by the guy staring down the line. The angle, the view, the netting obstructing the view all make it impossible to determine if, in fact, Hoff was offsides. Disappointing that a game that hard fought was effected by the call. Props to Berry for towing the NCAA line that the call was right but I just don't see it.

Crushed after the loss last night but extremely proud about how the Sioux played. The semi final tonight is between two teams damn lucky to be there. Ohio State completely dominated UMD in the overtime. In seeing the picture they put up on the TV claiming that Hoff was offsides I just don't see it, not from that angle. If that is clearly indisputable evidence then the standard is pretty low. Worst part about the call is that the "offsides" had absolutely no impact on the goal. At some point to have to rely on the official on the ice for a call like that. He clearly waived it off and was sitting right on the line. Thanks to the Seniors for your dedication and hanging another banner. I'm sure we will lose a few early but I'm excited about the group coming back. I really love Coach Berry, Jackson, and Shaw and the attitude they bring. Nothing better than being a fan of North Dakota Hockey. Let's get back to work. October is just around the corner.

The only number that I think matters at this point is 3. If Poolman can't go, that is a huge loss.

Western may get the best NCHC draw.

Union makes more sense that UML.

UML is at 5. Seems like they would send BU at 7 to Fargo instead.

After the feeling I had last night watching this talented and dedicated group of men bring number 8 to the great state of North Dakota I figured there is none better than C &T to set the table for next year.

Was at the game last night. Another fantastic Sioux fan turnout. The Let's Go Sioux chant drowned out Denver's starting lineup intro. The PA announcer sounded like he was mocking us every time he said "Fighting Hawks." Great last 5 minutes. If everyone can give 75% the effort that #2 brings on every shift this team will be lifting some hardware in April. That kid is a stud and his motor is always running. We obviously had a tough time containing DU's top line. I think that gets corrected and we bounce back tonight. I like this team but then again, I like our team every year. GO SIOUX!!!!!

i wouldn't wish that on anyone. Gotta feel bad for that kid.

What happened on the 3rd goal? I missed it.

Great post.

Agree 100%. One of my favorite classes in a long, long time. Loved OD's line in the last Through These Doors when asked how he wanted to be remembered and he answered "as men". Best of luck if whatever you choose to do men, it was so fun to watch you all compete these last 4 years.

Perfect.

Love this team. These guys just kept battling. Being in the mix every year is a testament to the coaches and the players. To Gordy, the General, OD, Mattson, Mac, Parksy, Panz, thanks for laying it all out and giving us 4 great years. I feel bad for the players and the coaches. No one wanted to win more than them. Absolutely hilarious to hear some "fans" on this board bitch and moan how tough it is on them after a game like this. We get to watch one of the best programs in the country compete on a top level year after year after year. Seriously, bitching about players, calling on Hak to get fired, saying the game is over long before it is. Some of the posts are truly idiotic. Can't wait until next season. Thanks again for another great year of Sioux Hockey. GO SIOUX!!

Thanks for the input. I'lll pass it along.

A friend of mine is traveling to GF over the Thanksgiving weekend. Any recommendations for a good restaurant that is open on Thanksgiving and serves a good Thanksgiving meal? Thanks.

Anyone need tickets. Have a friend looking to move likely 2 for Friday and 4 for Saturday. Lower bowl, center ice. Asking $25.00 per ticket.

Good luck Rocco. Loved your hustle and passion and the speed and skill you brought to the lineup. You had the opportunity to become a Sioux legend if you choose to stay. Hope the chance to travel the AHL for a year or two is worth it. Even with the loss I am excited as hell for next season. Great group of guys and leaders coming back and an exciting crop of new talent coming in. Long live college hockey and long live the Fighting Sioux!!!!!

Somebody remind me how to hide a poster/poser. Thought I was doing so with gf-one-trick-poney but ended up giving him/her/it a reputation, whatever that means. Much appreciated. GO SIOUX!!!!!
