Love the lines tonight. Go Sioux!

Sandelin looks way better than I've heard about him....however not a fan of his celebrations.

I'll take the Sioux boys to close down the series Saturday evening. Friday - 4-3 (SCSU gets one late) Saturday - 5-1 (huge first period)

Agree 100%....however HS hockey is not going to do much for Hain anymore. The kid dominated....he would be challenged 10X more playing for the U18 team next year. But like other posters have mentioned, he probably won't leave. Hey, even our prized Boeser left after his junior year in high school. Should he have stayed for his senior year? No, high school hockey would do nothing for him; the grind of the USHL season would develop him much better. This isn't a knock on MN HS hockey....because it's a great league. I'm talking specifically on this uber elite kids (MIddlestadt, Hain, McLauglin, etc).

I knew it...you sound like a lot of the guys I skate with. Yes he did. He also played a game with the U18 team.

As someone else noted he's from the area. Also, he's super tall and lanky and was pretty uncoordinated while playing for the NTDP. While playing for the U18 team he was a 4th liner. He must have matured a ton from that year to his freshman year.

I would be surprised if he left as well. I just think HS hockey has nothing more to offer him. Getting him into the "program" or playing in the USHL is a great development route. You must be from MN

I feel pretty good about this weekend. Hopefully the boys can get it done in 2.

Hopefully Hain plays for the U18 team next year.

Frisch was beat pretty good on that one.

You have to remember that Hermantown only has around 9500 residents

That's aggressive

Remember this is the playoffs. Duncan Keith should have been suspended last year 10 games....but he got 2 because it was the playoffs. I'm guessing the fact he would be missing playoff games came into consideration.

I meant that they are good (young) players. This is college hockey, younger players, more often than not, struggle against older players. You are correct, as a team, they aren't a top notch college team. I'm sure consistency has been an issue with them as well. But they have good younger players who may show up....so the boys should be ready.

They're good but they have so many underclassmen.

Oh yeah....he'll be out. Can't believe that.

He's a good kid. What did he do?

The boys had nice defensive efforts in both games. Many times our fans focus on our several breakdowns a game while not realizing almost every team has multiple breakdowns a game. That's where a good comes in a saves the day. Now early in the year there were too many breakdowns, I agree. Cam was hung out to dry too much. In talking about our D play....did Louis do anything all weekend? I rarely noticed him. That's impressive, he's awesome.

Wow that was another terrible call

I was waiting for the first person to comment on that peski turnover...that was quick

Are u sure he wasn't just mad at himself?

The call on poolman was terrible

Way to crash the net by Sherwood. That's how you score goals.

As Wilkie is cursing Ox's name on the way back to the bench
