Very much agreed you could see what this program means to these guys watching their faces during the video. The execution may have been sloopy at times but I don't see why some people are questioning guys effort level.

Not a real impressive weekend of play from the guys but I will give Bemidji some credit for that. Kind of seemed like a average performance all weekend not bad but definitely not great. Disappointed with the tie tonight as we could have really put some pressure on St.Cloud for the McNaughton now might be tough to get the 2 seed as well with Minnesota heading to Bemidji while we get Mankato. Need a sweep next weekend and I know a lot of Sioux fans will become Bemidji State and Wisconsin fans for next weekend.

They didn't say it on the radio but they may have missed it. Sounded like he was around the puck a lot and trying to make things happen but it just wasn't his teams night. Announcers talked about how Cathedral just didn't have it and didn't play their best and it is always tough for your season to end in a game where you know you could have played at a higher level.

Rumor going around is this may have been his last high school game and he will be headed to the USHL or the development team next season. Being a former Minnesota high school player and now a fan I never like to see players leave their high school team but he may need to see some more competition as his team plays a decent schedule playing some pretty good schools but there are also a few below average teams that are on the schedule.

Austin Poganski held without a point tonight as Hermantown ends his teams season 4-1.

Not a real crisp game but glad to get out of it with a needed win. I would expect a better played game tomorrow from the guys in another game we need to have.

Would guess we will see both goalies this weekend regardless of how well whoever starts tonight plays, maybe we even get a nice lead and can give Tate some cleanup time on Saturday night. The guys need to just play the type of game they are capable of and everything will be fine this weekend, I am expecting a big weekend from the Seniors and definitely think Kristo will finally get a goal past his dad's former team.

Ageed I would rather not have a nickname because we will always be the SIOUX and that would really help keep the SIOUX name passed down through generations even if it isn't recognized by the NCAA. These guys really do a great job with through these doors and every week I can't wait to check out the next episode.

Austin Poganski and his St. Cloud Cathedral team will play Hermantown at 7:00 tonight for a trip to the state tournament. The game is available to listen to online at http://www.mnsportsnetwork.com/index.php#msbnchannel1 and I plan to listen to it while watching the Sioux game.

I heard a lot of good things about him throughout the year and judging by his point totals he produced most of the season, he is only a 10th grader so he could still grow some.

EGF beats Warroad 2-0. Really impressed with Tanner Tweeten and Dixon Bowen as they created a lot of chances and definitely have some big potential. Eddie Eades has good size and a nice shot but needs to improve his footwork. I liked what I saw from Colton Poolman and Tye Ausmus for EGF as well on the defensive end as they were real smooth skaters and good puck movers. Grant Loven and Brandon Loven also looked pretty good playing on a line with Tweeten and I believe one is a Freshman and one is a Junior. Tommy Hajicek looked good for EGF but he is a Senior and I would guess will be headed to junior hockey next season. EGF completely controlled the game and outshot Warroad 32-13, goalie Justin King really kept Warroad in it and EGF doesn't have a lot of upperclassmen so this could be the start of a nice run for EGF. There were a couple players from Warroad that stuck out a little bit and I saw flashes from and they were 10th graders Jared Bethune and Luke Jaycox, also saw Blayke Nelson (Brock's brother) do some nice things and really has a physical side to his game. I had heard to watch for Kobe Roth but I really wasn't impressed with him and he is very small but looks like he has put the points up throughout the season.

Great chance for Tanner Tweeten looked like he had half the net open on that break. how did he miss that?

Haha saw that too "always one joker in the crowd"

Coach Hakstol is in attendance tonight as they showed him on TV standing next to former Sioux Jeff Bowen, looks like a couple of current Sioux players are also at the civic center to take in tonights game too.

I'll be watching it on WDAZ. Kind of a contrast in styles as EGF is highly offensive skilled and has great team speed and Warroad is more of a defensive team and can have trouble finding the back of the net. My prediction is the Green Wave head to state with a 3-1 win.

I have heard rumors of it too and think it would be a pretty good fit actually.

They would have been in even if they lost to Indiana and won their final 3 against the bottom of the B1G last nights win just solidified their spot.

We need to have 4 points against Bemidji and then the best thing would probably be if DU and Minny just tie twice, but I think Minny will take 3 or 4 points from DU next weekend.

It should be one of the better section final matchups, in their only matchup of the season Cathedral won 5-4 in OT in St. Cloud on January 11th. Hermantown has won 11 straight coming into the game while Cathedral is 12-1 in their last 13 games. Should be a good game hoping Cathedral can pull it off so I can get a chance to watch Poganski.

I have liked Lizotte since the first time I watched him last season but I think he has a good ways to improve before he gets some D1 options.

EGF also has another Ausmus who is a great skater but a little on the small side, for Warroad I think Nelson is Brocks brother but he is not in the same talent class, I'm not sure that Christian even really plays or not, the best prospects from Warroad are Soph forwards Kobe Roth and Jared Bethune. Also for anyone that wants to watch in the area and can't get to the game WDAZ will be broadcasting it live for the first time ever.

Pretty suprised to see Clark getting the start, thought Zane would get a chance to redeem himself especially with the fact that Clark really wasn't very good in relief last night. Hope we get good enough goaltending and finish our chances tonight, need a win!

He went on to add 2 more goals for 5 goals and 1 assist in todays 7-2 win. He now has 10 goals and 8 assists in the 2 playoff games and he only played 30 seconds of the 3rd period in the quaterfinal win, so basically 18 points in his last 5 periods of play.

Austin Poganski just added his 3rd goal early in the 3rd as his team leads 5-1 in the section semifinals
