What is with Norton continuing to hate on UND? We didn't play our best game yesterday, but we won.

Page 11 of the UND Princeton game thread has great instructions care of Gopherz.

I got it now too. Just didn't work for a little while this morning.

We've never needed to score first more this season. 1. Wisconsin's defensive system is tough to score on if they get a lead. 2. That crowd will be a killer if they go up. 3. we've gotten better, but we are a much better team when playing with a lead than trying to come back (despite our losses to NH, SCSU and MTU). I'd love to see a four pass goal off the face-off: Oshie to Chorney, Chorney to Duncan, Duncan to Miller, Miller to Oshie 1-0 Smart hockey, play our game. Wisconsin can only win if we allow them to dictate the style and tempo of the game. I want the checking line and the d-corps with the attitude that if they see someone in a red jersey, that person is on their back.

I tried the Sopcast today, and it didn't work

Looks like the old SopCast isn't in business today. Worked great yesterday. I guess that I am going to HAVE to watch the games from the bar.

Oshie, Vandevelde, Chorney, Genoway, Watkins...

As good as Princeton was, they also played an Alaska esque style of clutch and grab hockey. I noticed a ton of holding and obstruction that got let go. I agree that Malone got away with one, but other than that, the Sioux played a clean game. The officials let a ton go, except where it interfered with a legitimate scoring opportunity. I thought it was officiated consistently, which is all you can ask for. You know that the little hooks and holds and borderline interference isn't going to get called, and it wasn't versus either team. I thought every single penalty was legit and prevented a decent opportunity. I thought there were non-calls on ticky tac stuff that went both ways. Only negative on the officails was the knee on knee contact should've been called against Malone. Bob Norton is a complete moron. He desperately wanted the Sioux to get beat. Sad.

I don't know how this post will be received, but here it goes. I think it is within reason to congratulate the...can I do it?...Gophers on a season that showed more heart than I thought the Primadonnas on ice were ever capable of. While they played a style this year that frustrated me as aSioux fan, they played as a team and played hard, and got the most out of what talent they had. I, for one, am happy to not have to face them. Hope Pohl makes a speedy recovery too! Now I need to take a shower after saying that...must get clean.

OK, we are three wins from hanging #8. One game at a time one period at a time. The marathon is nearing the sprint at the end. Break it down into 9 periods remaining. All we have to do to win is to win 9 periods of hockey. There's a week and a half to recover after this game. Leave it all in Madison. 3 periods, 20 shifts for the likes of the Osh and Duncs. Win each shift, and you win the hockey game.

Saw you on TV Sioux-cia!

Assuming BC and UND win today, I would expect the hat trick to be: Porter, Gerbe and Lammy. I agree with the statement that its Porter's, but Lammy's performance yesterday had to make some people take notice.

C'mon, from the off wing that angle's not that tough. Now if he was a right handed shot, that's a different story. Not disrespecting Duncs; I bet he'd say the same thing.

I'm with you AZ. I am almost beside myself waiting for the puck to drop. I don't want to start drinking yet. I went for a jog, made bacon and eggs and a pot of coffee. Sioux have to be ready to pummel these Badgers. Show the footage of Jones holding off two badgers by himself during the scrum. We need to take the crowd out of this game fast.

Watched every game yesterday. PC, TV...I had them all going. My takeaway is that there are no cupcakes. These teams are good. First things first, beat Wisconsin. They are going to play tough. We need to establish a physical presence from the drop of the puck and get that first goal to take the Kohl center crowd out of it. They are going to try and frustrate, and they are going to trap and clutch and grab and try and force turnovers. Denver got beat because Denver tried to beat Wisconsin at their own game. Ever since Trotter left, Denver did a Wisconsin impression with the trap and slow down play. We are definitely more skilled upfront, and the top end guys need to prove it again. The four pass tic tac toe play that the OSH, Duncs and Miller did in the third that just missed might've had one pass too many, but man was it a play. 9 hours to game time!

I doubt Kangas will leave after one good year. How can he possibly feel ready to play at the NHL level? I

How high is Hoeffel drafted?

When did Donny get educated about the number of early departures at UND?

So the crew was talking about the Tuba "guy" in the BC pep band. They made a reference that "he" was a defensive defenseman. IT WAS A GIRL. They have to be drunk or blind. I feel horrible for her, I certainly hope she never becomes aware of the comments from the peanut gallery. Another lesson in being careful with what you say.

Ooops. Sioux are undefeated on Sundays 3-0!!!!

Fighting Sioux have not lost on a Saturday away from the Ralph this year!!!!

BC looks incredibly fast and skilled. Wisconsin is going to play us tough. They will try frustrate us and not let us play hockey. We can not get frustrated!

Current Sioux with Shattuck roots: Chorns, Duncs, Genoway, Miller,

Anybody notice how cheap the Gophers are playing in theis game? Lots of late extracurriculars. Even Melrose made a comment about the Minnesota stick work due to theyr being frustrated with the speed of BC.
