Great analysis yababy8. After watching (in person) two of the crappiest games the team has played in a few years, Friday St Lawrence and UBC, I was ready to throw in the towel for this year's team. I'm still not real optimistic that they can win it all - not with inconsistent scoring and on/off goaltending. But I like their chances next year a lot!

So here's what I see when I look into my crystal ball. Jim's prediction of Pairwise placement before the weekend had the Sioux in good shape (about 13) if they were to win 8 of 12 remaining games. They won one this weekend, so 7 to go. Sweep Omaha and Miami at home (4 wins), split with Duluth and St. Cloud on the road (2 wins), and win at least one at home against WMU to close out the regular season. Take it to the bank.

Johnson took two penalties tonite. Someone needs to have a conversation with him about playing smart.

I sure hope the bar gets Rocky Mountain!

Yes, game time is 6 PST, but the TV listing has it at 9 PST (which would be taped of course).

I'm going to a Sioux viewing party in a little while. I hope they know something that I don't because the TV listing shows the game on ROOT at 9pm. Game time is 6pm (Pacific time).

Right or wrong, this type of hit is going to draw a 5 every time, and it wasn't even a hit. Loney was falling and Ausmus just pushed him, but since it was into the boards it got called a 5. Of course the near-death experience helped the ref make the call.

Got it. I just turned on the game and saw it was 1-0 Mich. State just scored to tie it.

Huh?

It looks like the guy that ran the blog has shut it down. No help on USCHO as far as injuries either.

Losing your starting goalie would be a huge deal to most teams. We will be fine with Saunders.

Agree - nice to see the boys get a win without Zane's "A" game but I think they will need him to play better to win tonite.

I am going with a buddy that is a UND grad and lives in Seattle. We are only going to the Sioux games so we won't see Princeton play. The rink looks pretty small - capacity about 2,000. I hope they play better than the last time I saw them play in person - the St. Lawrence series!

What is the real reason?

I live closer to Everett so I go to an occasional Silvertips game. Pattyn plays a lot like Mario - plays hard but not so smart.

Somebody needs to take Pattyn and explain that he dosn't need to be stupid every game. One of those penalties will cost us the game.
