Sioux are coming on when they need to. This is why I love March! I hate to be the poor suckers who face the Sioux in the NCAA tourney.

As I watched the 2nd period of the Mavs vs. Gophers I saw Mike Vannelli take a guy down after the whistle and push his head into the ice. The Mavs player skated into the crease but was skating away from the goalie who had frozen the puck. To my astonishment Campion gave not only Vannelli a penalty but the Mavs player as well, but that is a topic for another thread. I was at the game earlier this season when Vannelli instigated a fight against Rory McMahon, and McMahon beat the living day lights out of him. Yes, McMahon did win that fight. I have the video and McMahon clearly lands more punches. Tell me, is there a bigger hockey goon in the WCHA or anywhere else?

Does anyone know the score of the Sioux game?

Ummmm...how about how they play hockey? How about where they play hockey? I'm not saying you can't bring their personal life into, but don't talk about their sister. That's just wrong.

I hope Lee turns out to be better than Kessel. Wouldn't that just tick the Gopher fans off? Haha that would be sweet.

The MSHSL webpage has brackets and game times. They are usually pretty good about updating the brackets and stuff. Minnesota State High School League

Does anyone know if there are anymore Sioux players playing in the tournament beside Oshie and Lee? Who are the other college hockey recruits?

I'm not saying Lessard wasn't important, but UMD had a lot of upperclassmen that were non factors this year (T.J. Caig was a huge dissappointment).

UMD is more complete than most other teams in the nation. You have to realize that the WCHA is the best conference and that everyone of the teams can beat each other. UMD is more complete than you think my friend.

I don't get your point. You're saying the players who win MVP awards play on average teams. I don't think the NHL MVP last year, Martin St. Louis, played on an average team. I don't think the Avalanche were too average when Forsberg won the MVP award, I think Gretzkey played on some decent Oilers teams when he won the award. As for the Hobey, you'll have to give me more than one example of the winner playing on an average team. Hrkac didn't play on an average team. Marty Sertich's CC team isn't average when you compare them to the rest of the country.

Marty Sertich deserves this award most definitely. He has been consistent throughout the year, and he plays on a great team. His teammate, Brett Sterling, also has made a strong case for 1st place as well. Of course, I do have a WCHA bias.

We are definitely sitting a lot better than we were with just Lammy. J Parise is hott right now, and who play whoever gives you the best chance to win. Anything less than a sweep at JBSU and we can flush this Wisconsin series down the toilet.

Anyone know the who got the assists and goals?

I would hate to see what they'd do. They're freaking out right now.

Does anyone know who has the goals and assists for each goal?

These Wisco announcers aren't to fond of the Campion. They're complaining about the low number of penalties. I kind of like it when both teams can play physical, aggresive hockey. It's not fun to watch when a ref calls every little hook, clutch, and grab.

It's too bad Fox Sports Minnesota won't have the game. Instead of showing another rerun of Summer Sanders and the Sports List. Why couldn't they just pick it up from Fox Sports Wisconsin though?

I think that is something to do with it. U of M Morris has similar colors as well.

Notre Dame can go take a long walk off a really short pier. I get so darn sick of hearing how great they think they are. NEWS FLASH: They're not good at anything! They stink at basketball, football, and not to mention hockey. I've never really seen the whole appeal to Notre Dame, and I never will. North Dakota better keep using the ND logo!

I've never been a big NHL fan, but this lockout has made me realize how much I miss it. Many fans say how they are turned away from the NHL after this lockout, but it has made me a bigger fan of the NHL.

What an awesome night for the Sioux and they didn't even play. Gophers lost, CC lost, and Wisconsin loses. I can't believe CC could lose to JBSU but I guess anything is possible in the WCHA.
