sioux fan in phoenix

Sioux even strength. 4x4 for 2:00. TH & O'Keefe really ripping Adam.

Another Sioux penalty..Smaby for interference.

Irmen scores on the pp..1-0 Gophers.

More penalties..TH & O'Keefe really ripping Adam.

Adam starting to play a factor..Gopher pp.

Big flurry by Gophers as R. Potulny left all alone in front of Brandt.

Lackluster pp..both teams even strength.

Crosschecking on Riddle--Sioux pp.

Greene with a bad giveaway & Riddle almost converts.

Must be a lot of Sioux fans in attendance.."..and the home of the SIOUX" was very loud. Puck dropped.

Lundbohm centering Porter & Massen on the 2nd line tonight.

R. Potulny has 6 goals in the 4 games since his return. (I think) Sioux first-round opponent in Colorado Springs will likely be winner of Holy Cross-Sacred Heart game.

Blais say win or lose Sioux will probably be in Colorado Springs..unsure if Sioux are on top of their game after watching his team in the 3rd period last night..Massen ( ) playing tonight after a week of good practice..Brandt in net..doesn't think officiating will play that big a role tonight..Adam the ref. Lucia say UND a good measuring stick for his team..says goaltending probably the biggest factor for them (& all teams) at this point in the season..Gophers record this year on NHL-sized rinks not very good..

Pre-game in about 30 minutes; all the marbles in about an hour.

Yes, I see the connection now. Blake scoring in late March..the Sioux doing well down the stretch..Coincidence? I think not.. Congrats, Jason!!

Hennessy & O'Keefe make a good broadcasting team..a couple of good-natured & pretty funny Irish guys. O'Keefe really has the gift of gab--must have kissed the ol' Blarney Stone.

No problem. Good for the Sioux--escaped without any injuries. R. Hale says they need to play more disciplined tomorrow. 29th win of the year. Blais a little annoyed at JPar's "Lone Ranger" style of hockey (in regards to his highsticking penalty) but satisfied overall with his performance. Doesn't think 2nd unit line of Lundbohm-Porter-Stafford played very well. Noticeably peeved at the team's lack of discipline; expects more from them at this point in the season.

4-2 Sioux final!! Zach retrieves the puck for his big bro.

UAA pulls goalie again.

Another penalty on the Sioux. Murray for holding.

UAA pulls their goalie but they get a penalty. King back in the net.

Lee Green makes it 4-2. Canady made an error by not putting enough oomph on his clearing attempt. Timeout UAA.

Boy, these same commercials on the Fighting Sioux hockey network get a little annoying after hearing them over & over during the game..that commercial that features some chick band, in particular...

O'Keefe says all 3 Sioux breakaways this game were deke attempts by the Sioux--2 of which wound up not even being shots on goal.

King stops Sioux on sh breakaway..didn't hear who the Sioux player was.
