Guess what? It's not 2009 or 2008. Every one of those Tech teams were markedly better than this year's squad, and I would argue that this year's Sioux team is far better than the '08 or '09 teams. Several people on here were worried about a letdown this past weekend, and look what happened. This team has no chance of skating with us, and they will not keep it close in either game. Even if Tech gets Olson and Gordic back, it won't matter. They are absolutely dreadful on the blue-line and in net. Also, what year is the "Parise group?" I can only find two playoff series vs. Tech since 2003, the one in '08 and the one '09. Never mind, I was able to find the playoff series from 2004. Still think the tough game will be non-existent this weekend.

I will be there Sunday as well in one of the suites. Helps to know people who know people. It will be my first live action since last year's Final Five, so I am stoked. I see no reason why we don't sweep.

Friday's game will not be televised in the Twin Cities, but Saturday's game will be on Comcast Channel 13 (KABL) in the St. Paul area and Channel 23 in Minneapolis. I'm in Burnsville, so I get KABL on Channel 13 and I would assume it'd be the same for you. I've also received confirmation from Comcast that they are carrying the game.

Brad Schlossman keeps telling everyone that the game will not be televised on Saturday unless you're in a Charter area. That's contrary to what the St. Cloud website is saying, but right now my Comcast Channel 13 (Burnsville, MN) lists the good old "TBA." Probably won't know for sure until the puck drops.
