I wanted to start this post to pump up Andrew Kozek, and let him know that his play is a huge contribution to this team's winning. Andrew, great work, keep working hard. 20 goals from you could be the difference between another FF appearance and #8. This guy's a #2 pick who hadn't shown us a whole lot until this year. This year he is off to a great start! Keep it up, kid; we believe in you.

Sweep the bad teams wherever you play them, split with the good teams on the road and sweep the good teams at home. That's what we need to do. I liked Oshie going back to the wing. I think TJ really concentrated on the defensive element of the game when he was playing center. I also think that his breakout style is much better suited to the wing. He likes to charge headlong at the opponent, that is tough to do up the middle of the rink on the breakout. Vande, Osh, Duncs ( the VD..Ohhh line (did I say that?)? The Dove line? D.. OV line (Any canadiens?)The DeVO line?

This is soooo silly. I for one would actually love to irritate an opposing player so much that he jacked me. I'd let them beat the snot out of me and then sue the pants off the athletic program. OK, now I've had enough talking about this. We will see Tech 2 more times this year, that's it. They could make the final five, but probably have to play the play in game. Bottom line with that team, The Sioux will beat them 9 times out of 10 if the SIoux score the first goal. With that horrible clog the slot style, Tech will win 50% of the games against us if they score first. My own private hell would include a Wisconsin vs Michigan Tech series, with the Blake Wheeler miracle goal and jersey pop playing on the scoreboard.

Forney showed me one very important thing...he has a knack for the puck finding his stick. That is something that you can't coach. It appeared to me that he has really good hockey sense. The legs will come with some ice time. He has worn the Red, White and Blue in International play, he was a high round draft pick... The kid has potential. I thought he was in the right place to make plays, which is first; now he's just got to start making those plays.

Time to show class Sioux hockey fans. The correct response is to ignore this kind of silly content. We are used to winning and they are not. We should respond that the University of North Dakota fan base, team, and coaches do not support unsportsmanlike conduct on or off the ice by fans, players, coaches or staff. We respect the Michigan Tech program for the strides they've made on the ice, and wish them a successful season. Without being there, and assuming the story is at least partially based in truth, it seems to me that there was some inappropriate activity by both parties, and no major harm done, except for hurting someone's feelings. It truly sounds like someone making a mountain out of a molehill.

I am panicking a little over our lack of offense since the MI State game. Where did it go? Teams are not going to let us play run and gun with them, so we need to toughen up and start shooting the puck through people. Judging by the performance at the end of the game, the frustration level by all was high. I wouldn't be surprised if Hakstol ordered the code red. Have Radke go after some guy, beat him up, fire up the team, Forney skates fourth line while Radke serves his suspension.

3 of 13 is misleading. First of all, goal 3 was an empty netter. The other two, well one was a heck of a shot for a ppg, the other was a corner magnet from the point and Lammy never saw it. This game is not JP's fault. I blame our inabiity to score goals. We've scored 4 goals in our last 3 games. You don't win many games when you score less than 2.

I think the breakdown at the very end of the game is a good thing. It showed that our guys really want to win and were so frustratred and angry that they wanted to fight. Tech is a tough team to play. They play a brutal style that would frustrate the heck out of any skill player.

I felt that we controlled the play for most of the game. Tech collapses into a defensive shell around their own net, making it really hard to get good shots on goal. We are a very mediocre team at this point in the season. I am very disappointed in the loss. I thought the Defensive breakdown leading to their first goal was the fault of Jones, not Genoway. Did i miss the number on the webcast? Regardless, hopefully this is a wake up call. Hey Oshie and Duncan, that's 3 games in a row without a goal!!!!! I am very disappointed. I don't think this team is as special as I thought they might be. They might have the talent, but right now they don't have the heart or the work ethic.

Malcolm Parks, Scott Dub and Bob Joyce???

ahhh now its the scoreboard

anybody got a black square in the upper left hand corner of the screen?

Is the feed supposed to be up for game time? Is anybody watching a pregame right now? mine says Link available at start time, but it is after the start time it shows...hmmm

Thanks everybody, I bought it and am now waiting for game time. GO SIOUX! We win the game with the third line tonight...Sioux depth!

Is anyone else having trouble viewing the sample video off Michigan Tech's webcast registration page? My machine works for Sioux home games, and it worked for the game at Northeastern. So far no luck with this one...

Based on performance so far, I have to believe it will be Kozek. Oshie, Duncan and Kozek Kaip, Watkins and Frattin Vandevelde, Trupp and Miller Zajac, Radke and Martens Forney rides pine We need to work on the breakout. Hopefully we can get our ducks in a row.

strange line combos out there...3 goals makes me a little less pissy

Webcast looks great down in Minny. Unfortunately the Sioux look like crap. We can't seem to catch a pass, we're not moving our feet. We look like we are resting on our laurels. I would skate the crap out of these guys all week. I might even burn one players scholarship in front of the whole team ( literally, light the paper on fire). See if that gets them going. This is not Sioux hockey

I am sickened by our play tonight. Nice PP

We need to get our act together. How did we turn to such garbage in one week? We looked awesome against MSU, then we look sloppy, can't pass, can't break out, can't win a draw. BC is a good team, so I will credit them with taking us off our game, but there is no excuse for playing this way against Northeastern. We are clearly off our game. These teams are doing something that they've seen on tape. We need to make short, crisp passes. Play simple hockey. Anyone have any ideas on the ice conditions? They keep saying its warm in beantown, and it looked like we were falling down a lot! Shots on goal are misleading. We missed the net about a half dozen times with pretty good looks. What is with Martens on the PP??

I think this should be looked at as an opportunity to "make" BC come out to the Ralph next year.

I wish young Ryan a speedy full recovery. He has a bright future ahead of him. Hate the Gophs, not the young men who wear the uniform.

Had we kept Belfour, Hrkac, Joyce, and Kidd for the 1987-1988 season, we might've had a run at it...

You're correct, sir: Cornell went undefeated back in 1969-1970: 29-0-0. Maine in only lost 1 game (42-1-2) in 1993.

Anyone know for sure the time of the games on Friday and Saturday? USCHO says 8pm eastern. Fightingsioux.com says 6pm central. THis does not jive
