UMDDogz

Dogs nearly score, but it is swept off the line by PUNKovich. Sioux sound like they are playing 100% better than last night!

Dogs and DU underway. 17 to go in the first...0-0. Ziggy with a big glove save on Dingle early, and DU hits a pipe.

Keep the updates coming fast and furious. I'm at work tonight for the Sioux and Bulldog games. I'll be streaming the UMD game and stepping in and out. I'm sure my sister can provide UMD updates, in her usual "hunk-of-the-day" style. Hopefully the SS.com stream works so the updates can come in a timely manner! GO DOGS! GO SIOUX!

Wish I could be there...gotta be at work tonight. I will be keeping up with the updates, and listening sporatically to tDogs game. Good luck tonight SIOUX!

WOO! UMD WINS!

It's called positive thinking, and being a true fan of your team...not bailing out after an OT loss in the first game of a three game series.

...what she said. SFSIOUX, grab a beer and relax, man! The Sioux will win the next 2!

Headed for OT. Anything can happen here. Ziggy is smokin...and that bodes well for this playoff run!

Getting tired of saying this...but some people care about what is going on around the league. We cheer for the Sioux in good spirit when we are on this board. Don't expect you to do the same for us... Dogs killed a 5 minutes major...should have been a 3 min kill, but Campion didn't call the retaliation hit after the whistle. Ziggy is coming up huge...he's playing the game of his life! Hope the Dogs can get one and make his effort worthwhile! 27 big saves for Ziggy!

Campion is horrible...

I hope so too!

And it's back tied at 2.

CAROLL AGAIN!!! 2-1 DOGS!!

I'm not sure which of us hates DU more...they have spoiled FF runs for both of us...

YEAH. 1-1 Tie after 2 periods (despite Campions best efforts). Toews will win it for tSioux!

Impressions on the Weekend: Sorry I am doing this a little after the fact... Weather: (-) Holy crap was it cold! Thank Lessard we had remote start! Transportation/Parking: (+) Couldn't be better. Parked for free at 2nd street and took the free shuttle bus! Never waited in line for the bus for more than 3 minutes. Spent the time after the game admiring the exhibits in the REA lobby. Facilities: (+) Didn't take the tour, but was tempted to. Absolutely first class. I hope the new arena tDogz are talking about building up in Duluth can match that kind of luxury and attentions to detail. Crowd: (=) Most fans we talked to were friendly (it's easy when you're ahead 4-0). Can't believe you guys did the sieve chant on Grand Forks' Ziggleman though. That was stone cold guys. Hockey Quality: (-) Two games with 4 goal seperation...not the most exciting games I've been to. Only got one chance to stand up and cheer the whole weekend. UMD Hockey Quality: (--) Poor on Friday night, although Ziggy giving up 2 softies right away didn't help. Absolutely horrible on Saturday. WAY too many defensive zone turnovers.

It's official!! I found someone to cover my shift on Saturday so I will be in attendance both nights! I'll be in full Bulldogs gear, so I probably won't be hard to spot. My Dad has the tickets, so I'm not sure what section they are in. Should be a fun weekend...I'm looking forward to seeing some good hockey! (Preferably by tUMD, but I'll take a good weekend of WCHA action over work no matter what happens!)

Being first has its privileges... And I only lived in the basement for like 8 months...

That's right! I'm finally going to see this new arena you all have been bragging about. I'll be there Friday night for sure...working on getting Saturday off of work. Say hi if you see me...I'll let you know where we are sitting when I find out for sure. GO DOGZ!

Could be a little bit of both. 4-2 is the final. Tech's 3rd win in a row at the DECC...

Ugh...Dogs trail 3-1 now...under 6 to play. Tech's goaltender is hot...

Ouch! At the DECC, Tech laeds the Dogs 2-1...it was 2-0. Kemp with tDogs goal. 2 periods complete.

Ya, he will take the title away from Mason Raymond, who was somewhat quiet this weekend, after averaging over a point per game through UMD's first 18.

Good lord...scrolling throught the posts...you'd think it was about 25-1 Sioux.

2 good starts for the Dogs this weekend...and 2 collapses. Signs of youth showing themselves this weekend.
