It's a Saturday night game in California against a team we haven't played since the 2001 Division II National Semifinals at the Alerus Center. Somehow, I think this will be a little higher scoring then that game was! Prediction UC-Davis 42 UND 30 Come on boys, prove me wrong this time! GO SIOUX!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Ted Turner has anything to do with CNN anymore. It's run by the corporate suits at Time Warner. That's the biggest problem with the media right now, too much corporate ownership and influence.

Let's hope that tonight's third period will give the boys some confidence for their home opener against Wisconsin on Halloween night. I think another loss tonight would have sent us spiraling downward to a 1-5 start (at least). Let's hope this win can change things.

I also like Chris Wallace, who hosts Fox News Sunday. He asks tough, no-nonesense questions of both Republicans and Democrats. Tim Russert's passing was a big blow to legitimate journalism. Same with Peter Jennings. Fox and Friends is just sickening to watch. A bunch of well-dressed, passive-agressive talking heads who probably can't stand each other off camera. Thank God I am not a morning person and can't even get up early enough to watch it.

I think we should just play Eidsness and live with the ups and downs that a young goaltender will go through. The Gophers did that last year with Kangas and now they have someone who is ready to carry the load. This looks like a rebuilding year (like 94-95 and 01-02), which means we should have an open competition each and every week in practice for playing time. No star system allowed. And that includes former Hobey Baker Award winners. That is the only way we are going to salvage this mess and build on last year.

I think you are quoting Hakstol, but that is just as off-base as what TH said.

TH said the Sioux outplayed the Mavs tonight? You have got to be kidding me! That's "duckies and bunnies" talk right there.

I don't think anyone is saying that. But it is fair to question why this team looks so bad to start every single season.

Are you talking about shot attempts?

I can't believe we are being subjected to the infernal shootout! Shootouts are an abomination to the sport. I suppose the day is coming when NCAA titles will be decided by shootouts. What is this world coming to?

Blais never held back if the team stunk it up. Oh that's right, we can't live in the past. Oh well......

Hak spewing his usual coachspeak in the postgame.

I think a lot of players should be "healthy scratches" tomorrow night after tonight's performance. Let's shake things up a little bit.

I thought that was reserved for the Bears fan in the Tailgaters commercials?

And that was a home game. And the 01-02 season might be repeating itself here. But I still think we'll pull it together at some point.

It's FINALLY over. MSU 5 UND 1 Hope the football team does better tomorrow.

"bad" doesn't begin to describe this.

ENG for MSU. 5-1 Mavericks I can't believe I am listening to this crap!

Another penalty on MSU. A 6-3 for the Sioux coming up. If we can't score on this..........

PP #9 coming up for North Dakota. And the goalie has been pulled.

A little of both, I think. Mankato is going to be a good team this year. They'll finish in the top 5 and probably go to the NCAA's. We'll be lucky to have home ice at this rate. But I do think we'll get it together at some point.

I think we are looking at a possible 1-5 or even 1-7 start if we continue this level of play. I do think we will pull it together before Christmas, it's just going to take some time.

Sioux Power Play 0-8 tonight. Terrible.

I'm watching ESPN and the blue turf of Boise State! That alone is more entertaining than tonight's game in Mankato.

Rodents hang on to win 3-2.
