It was 3-1 for Century.

Nice to see a strong winning record in the first half of the year. I was surprised to see the December record of 19-1 over the last five years before the Denver series. The biggest key to keeping it going is to get and stay healthy! I would like to see the freshman line - Pogs, Olson and Simonson - together all season. They seem to have good chemistry. Zane's play will be huge - no softies please. Last night Mattson played like he has had enough of being a healthy scratch - it would be nice to see that level of play the rest of the season. J Schmaltz needs to play like he is capable of playing - for the whole game. And Drake needs to score oh, maybe 30 goals.

OK, so a lot of you are probably thinking that it is my fault that Parks has scored only one goal in the last six games, since I have picked him in Sioux Survivor the last few times I could pick. Good news! For Friday I pick Drake!

I remember it well. At the time I was hoping he could walk normal again, and didn't expect him to play hockey again.

Rick Reilly hits the nail on the head. People seem to lose all power of logical thought when they are under the spell of political correctness. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9689220/redskins-name-change-not-easy-sounds

It isn't in walking distance, but The Campus Lounge is a great hockey bar. About 2 miles straight north of Magness on University.

Great stuff!

I am never excited to see the Sioux ranked #1 (except for about mid-April). Brings back memories of 2004 - ranked on top nearly all year and didn't get it done. Besides, big target for opponents to aim for. Didn't Tech win twice this weekend? They can have it back.

Ten of their next twelve games are at home so i can see a few more wins coming. Don't know who they play though.

He looked terrible tonite. Stood around with the puck repeatedly, backed out of the zone when with a little effort he could have held the puck in the zone and just looked like he didn't want to be on the ice. Sit him for a game and get his attention. Much better team tonite. Sioux passing was terrible and lack of hustle was scary.

Parks!

I have no success using my Chromecast to stream to my TV. The picture is fine on my computer screen.

Recruiting-wise, no one has mentioned the flip side of those nice 80 degree days - that would be the 115 degree days. That could be a big turn-off for a lot of prospects. And the distance from home (other than AZ and CA) might be a disadvantage also.

I'm not sure on his numbers, but I think he (Simonson) has done very well on face-offs. And that would be Trevor Olson.

I really appreciate Buccigross for his passion for college hockey, but he is not a good play-by-play guy. Bring back Gary Thorne.

Wow. Gas is less here, and we have 56 cents a gallon in taxes. I saw $2.69 today.

Sioux only won 2 games all weekend - fire hak.

Sioux only score 9 goals all weekend - fire hak.

Parks only picks up 2 points - fire hak.

No short handed goals - fire hak.

Mr. Poolman

Looks like a great commit. Hopefully he makes it to campus!

What happened?
