Puck dropped for 2nd period.

Some poster on this board predicted it would be 1-0 Sioux after 1; can't remember who it was.

You'd think they would be excited to be in the tournament & that they'd want to give everything they've got.

*Yawn* Not exactly an inspiring 1st period.

Both teams even strength.

Pietrowski (sp) from the CCHA.

Sioux apply good pressure on the delayed penalty. 5x4 for 2.

Both teams 5x5.

Geez, boarding penalty on Porter & now it's 4x4.

HC man all alone in front, JPar bails out the D. Sioux pp.

Sounds like the Sioux are playing down to HC's level. Murray ALMOST converts in front.

HC with a mini flurry there.

Sioux even strength. Maine beat Harvard 5-4.

Late hit on JPar & Smaby gets a penalty??

YES!! Parise scores his 23rd of the year to make it 1-0!! Murray with the assist.

Puck dropped. CCHA ref.

Come on, Crimson!!

Pregame: Blais: Sparse crowd, says team will have to generate its own enthusiasm. Doesn't think it will be a tight game. Have to go 4 lines tonight, partly due to the high altitude. Jordan Parise in goal. Pearl: Team scored 13 goals & allowed 1 in its tournament. Will try to be diligent with the puck, nothing flashy. Will try to be versatile & change if the game dictates it. Says team cannot overextend itself on the large ice surface. Says the Sioux very fast & the best transition team he's seen all year.

Here we go. Hopin' for a clean, injury-free game.

Yeah, baby!!

What the heck is going on here?! What a bunch of hillbilly talk! I probably never said "going to Forks" because I already lived there. Still, what a joke. Today's lesson: "the"..learn it, love it, use it.

Anyone know who's reffing this game?

How much time left in the game?

My goodness, I'm a little stunned It seems like the Sioux are being presented the easiest possible route to #8.

Nice updates. Thx! David's boppin' Goliath so far. I like it.
