A lot of people disagree with you according to that contest that ranked it as the best looking logo in all of hockey, but hey you're entitled to your opinion...
I guess the reason I like the new one is because of the symbolism behind it.
That be leaving quite a bit out of it considering that's Mario Lamoreaux in a nutshell. It'd be like saying, leaving out all of the physical skills I'd take Joe Finley over Jonathon Toews because he's taller.
I watched every single game last year (many of them live) and went to the game against Michigan at the Excel. I can say that the entire team looked to me like they were playing nervous. Passes were bouncing off of sticks that any other game of the year they would have caught with ease. They almost appeared rigid.
Everyone feels the pressure in these games, it's just how you handle that pressure that defines you as a team and that team didn't execute when it mattered most. You can look at many plays in the game that point to that (Genoway shooting into Hunwick with 1/2 net open, Frattin wide open in the slot). These plays would be goals every other game of the year but it wasn't to be that night. Toughest game i've ever had to watch in my life.
Thanks, that is a very helpful explanation. I had never considered a tie since all of the PWR predictor articles are whether we will get 0,2, or 4 points. Wasn't sure what 3 would do when I was watching the end of the game on Saturday night.
So how does a tie affect the Pairwise for the Sioux compared to a loss? Does it help? I am just wondering because BE saved that point for us in the WCHA standings but does it also help in the Pairwise?
I've heard rumor of the Winnipeg Jets a couple of weeks ago, anyone else hear anything similar because that one came out of left field for me and not sure if there was any factual backing to this?
Never underestimate the power of The Ralph! I can't wait for my 4 day weekend to get up for this game. We've proven we can score goals now, even shorthanded some key players. I say Sioux take it to the Gophers 5-2, 6-1 Sioux Sweep!
I really don't see UND as being lucky at all. They would've just beat Denver maybe 3-1 instead of 6-1. If anything Denver was lucky to make it to overtime against WMU. Then the Sioux just played smart in the 3rd period against the Pios and still stretched the lead. With a healthy roster and continuing to play smart, simple hockey I can't see them losing.
