I saw that right away too and was screaming for a call there, I believe Mitch MacMillan was headed to the boards to catch the wraparound and got picked off in the faceoff circle by a Gopher and never got to the puck.

Sounding like Gothberg will get the start for tonights game.

That would be my guess as well, if anyone wants to watch him today his team plays on FSN against Benilde at 1:30 as part of Hockey Day Minnesota. Anyone watching the hockey day coverage they got Brendan Burke doing the high school game right now with Gorg and he would be a huge improvement over Hammer the horrible.

I think we will see a few lineup changes tonight and would guess the lineup will look something like this. I thought Schmaltz showed some good glimpses last night but also had a few bad lapses and wonder if Hak won't try to send him a message tonight. Grimaldi-Knight-Kristo Mark Mac.-Rowney-Parks Caggiula-Gaarder-St.Clair Mitch Mac.-Pattyn-Rodwell Mac-Mattson Simpson-Gleason Forbort-Panzerella Gothberg Saunders

Try again

I thought we played decently and they took advantage of every one of our miscues. Saunders was very shaky tonight and I wouldn't be suprised to see Zane tomorrow. We need to do a better job of taking advantage of our opportunities and I thought Wilcox was really the difference tonight. I thought the reffing was very inconsistent but I probably should of expected that. Gophers really got away with a lot of stickwork and holding all over the ice and on Minnesota's 3rd goal there was a huge missed interference call where we would have had the puck and been going out of the zone but instead our guy gets hit to the ice and the puck gets to the Gopher d-man and ends up in the back of the net. We still need to do a better job in front of the net and in our zone. I trust in Hak and believe he will get the boys ready to go and get a win tomorrow night.

I thought they would maybe go Rocco at center and Rodwell on the wing on that line but I wonder if they wanted Pattyn to center that line to have more defensive responsibility on that line.

Got a feeling the Sioux come out and make a statement tonight! Sioux 5 Gophers 2

I remember this one well as I was in high school at the time and the whole team was watching the game in the lockerroom after we got done with our game when this happened. Only about 6 or 7 on our team were Sioux fans but we went crazy when we saw that play.

I was watching the game and watched all the replays and never saw the kick either. Announcers also seemed very skeptical about that call. When he was called for the major there was a guy standing right over him and in his face and I thought that a ref should have jumped in there and got the Wayzata kid out of there as well.

Watching this game you can see everyone on the other team always knows where Gersich is and they are really focused on him. Also notice Wayzata taking a lot of runs at him no matter where he is and if he has the puck or not.

Gersich will be on FSN Thursday night at 7 when his team plays at Wayzata if anyone wants to get a look at him.

The more I think about this matchup the more confident I feel. I don't think there is any way we go in there and get swept. I think we can cause them a lot of problems in their defensive zone and don't think they have really been tested in a few areas yet. I think we can establish a good cycle against guys like Reilly, Marshall, and Schmidt and think they can be exposed in their defensive zone. It seems like their d-men are a lot of offensive d-men and I really question how well they can play in the corners when a team tests them with that.

I really don't think it matters who is on that top line with Kristo and Knight but I kind of liked the way Mitch MacMillan played there last night. The biggest question mark to me is whether Gleason is at defense, forward, or scratched. Even when he was at forward last night he played a good amount at defense on the penalty kill and in the 3rd period as well as some powerplay. I think we will see a lineup like this Friday night: Mitch MacMillan-Knight-Kristo Mark MacMillan-Rowney-Parks Caggiula-Grimaldi-Rodwell/Gaarder Senkbeil-Pattyn-St.Clair Mattson-Mac Forbort-Schmaltz Simpson-Gleason/Panzerella Saunders/Gothberg

Can't wait for this weekend! I expect a lot of emotion and intensity from both sides and couple of great games.

One of the best weeks of the year! I expect a much higher level of intensity and a very physical series.

I've noticed that they sometimes miss 10-15 seconds of play because they are playing taped interviews but I've never really noticed it with commercials.

I thought the Zane was alright tonight and could see him getting more time. Zane is a lifelong Sioux fan and it has been his dream to play for the Sioux so I'm almost 100% sure that he won't bail no matter the circumstances. We need to clean up our defensive zone play and some guys really need to play to their potential. I don't know what it was but Rocco seemed real out of sync this weekend and really didn't play very well at all. I liked the top lines play tonight but I think we may see the MacMillan-Rowney-Parks line that was so good last year reunited this next week. Overall good to get a couple points when we really didn't play too well all weekend.

Major lineup shifting for UND tonight: Mitch MacMillan to top line with Knight, Kristo; Gleason to F; Panzarella in at D; Gothberg in net. ' class="bbc_url">@Schlossman‏@SchlossmanGF Major lineup shifting for UND tonight: Mitch MacMillan to top line with Knight, Kristo; Gleason to F; Panzarella in at D; Gothberg in net. Looks like it will be Mitch getting a shot on the top line, I figured we would be without Caggiula tonight and maybe for a while so it's good to see him back in the lineup right away.

Just saw this too and it looks like Hak is trying to send a message to a few guys. It lists Mitch MacMillan twice and I'm not sure whic one should be Mark.

I think we see a different type of team and different type of effort from the guys tonight. I think Mark Mac goes back to the top line and makes a big impact with Kristo and Knight. Sioux 6-3
