SiouxScore

I remember when the Sioux hosted the west regional with Michigan, Minnesota, and Holy Cross now that was a great atmosphere for a regional, not sure if any regional will ever match that atmosphere.

My brother said he e-mailed FSN yesterday and they said if they were able to purchase it would probably only be the Gopher game, so hopefully the guy that e-mailed him back was wrong or FSN changed their mind and decides to broadcast the whole regional.

Saw Western Michigan play some in the CCHA semis and final. Goaltender was pretty decent but gave out big rebounds and wasn't the quickest side to side and also had some trouble high glove. They didn't seem to have to aggressive of forecheck and seemed to like to play a little bit of a trap, on the PK they had 3 guys stacked at the blue line and only sent 1 guy in the zone at all and not very aggressive. Their D are not as big as typical WCHA style d-men and they seemed to have a little trouble in the corners. Their forwards have some decent speed and skill, but if the boys play anything like this weekend we should be all right and I feel it is a good matchup for us.

I'm guessing FSN will find a way to get the Gopher games from ESPN and put it on FSN or FSN+, but not sure if they will get both games Saturday or just the Gopher one. I'm thinking WDAZ will try and should be able to pick up the Sioux game though with the ESPN/ABC syndication.

I'm not bashing Nelson or saying he shouldn't sign I just don't think he will.While I know Nelson is a good player and has great statistics he still has some things to work on. Nelson will still need to put on some muscle before he is NHL ready and a lot of the opportunities he gets come because of Kristos play and teams focusing on Kristo. I really like Nelson as a player and person and have seen him play since high school since we were in the same section. I believe Nelson really loves the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux and has a lot of pride for the program and just don't see him wanting to leave that behind.

Wow ESPNs coverage really is pathetic, ESPN needs to step up the coverage or let someone else takeover, time to throw some e-mails at them even though it probably won't do much.

Worcester 1.BC vs 16.Air Force 7.Duluth vs. 10.Maine St.Paul 2.Michigan vs. 13.Cornell 8.Minnesota vs. 9.BU Bridgeport 3.Union vs. 15.Michigan St. 6.Ferris St. vs 11.Denver Green Bay 4.North Dakota vs. 14.Western Michigan 5.Miami vs. 12.Mass-Lowell

Coulda just as well put Kristo or Knight on it and just have it all Sioux team.

As Lapantha would say Carter Ronny, I mean Carter Rowney

Hope we come out with a lot of energy and get a good early start. It wil be key to jump on the early and take an early lead. I'm with the poster who said it wouldn't be the worst thing to not have to play 3 games in 3 days, but then again I NEVER want to lose to the gophers. I really hope we play physical but smart right from the drop of the puck, looking forward to see someone light up Rau.

Yep, really liked how he played as a freshman for Mankato kinda disappointed we didn't get to see more of him.

Think I have a pretty good idea who this player is.

That number is accurate for girls team this year I talked to someone who played against them and a lot of the transfers are canadians. I know that is how they operate offer a job for the parent and get the kid, but I know most of the boys recruiting up there has stopped, but I believe Warroads bantam A's had like 10 players and somehow made the state tournament so who knows if it will pick up again or not.

I know the announcer said during one of the games that Terry Leabos dad moved him from Fargo to Moorhead in 9th or 10h grade so that he could play for Morinville because the dad had played for Morinville in high school, probably a good decison for the kid.

Yeah I know I played in the same section as them, however the boys team doesn't really do it too much anymore, but I think something like 13 of 18 players on their girls team this year weren't from Warroad.

Heard the STA kids and coaches have wanted to move up (and need to) for the last few years, but administration is against it. I know Bemidji opted up a few years ago and think they still opt up to play in AA now and would be A if they followed enrollment, not sure though.

Coming back can do him good he will have a big leadership role on the team and will face a much more competitive schedule than what he played this year, plus its Minnesota High School Hockey...nothing like it. He could also play juniors before and after the high school season like Rau did his Senior year.

I don't think they should have their own tourney, but most private schools should have to play AA with the exception of some who can't even compete in class A.

If I were him I'd come back there is no way I'd be able to pass up on everything that is Minnesota High School Hockey. Its not like he is not going to be facing good competition as his team is going to an independent schedule so they'll be able to play all the top teams and not some of the bottom teams like they had to do in their conference.

I would agree the Minnesota State High School tourney is a different level of hockey, but I don't know if the teams could beat college teams maybe with the way Benilde was playing and everything just seemed to go their way. Benilde and Hill probably have 3-4 D1 players each. On a side note a great story seeing Benilde win the championship with the whole JABS story and what a performance by Besse.

Tech wins 3-1 Not a good night for hockey fans in the state of Colorado

Watching him play I find it hard to believe he won't get an offer from somewhere along the way, he is so calm and positionally sound in the net, actually reminds me a lot of Gothberg when he played in high school.

Thought the announcer said juniors in Alexandria, but not sure. I know he is a real good baseball player too.

Any idea what kind of college offers he has?
