Ugly game....pretty typical. Edit: sorry guys had to be negative to get that goal.

Agreed McDavid is on a whole different level.

Wow what a terrible call....that was pretty clean to me. Real hard though.

Haha I know, no way minny loses even a period to bsu

Well we have to get lucky in the playoffs...this team is not very consistent but can play great at times. I was also at both games and msu did play better than the Sioux for much of both games. The Sioux definitely had their moments but overall I have seen them play better. A splits a split but I thought the Sioux should have gotten up for last nights game, I'm not saying they weren't trying but they didn't play their best hockey. Another typical weekend from this team.

What loser hangs out on their rival's message boards? Get a life buddy. Troll.

Top line was also extremely stale last night.

I thought the boys looked a little average last night. The first line was almost non existent but a wins a win. MSU sure impressed me too, they have some decent skaters. Rocco and mark Mac were the best players on the ice however.

They'll still be good....check out their schedule, they play and beat most of the big schools. They should have played AA all along, how Holy Family moved up faster than they did is ridiculous. I feel bad for the EGF and Hermantown's of the state.

Pumped for tonight's game, hopefully they play well.

Elite prospects has him at 5'9'' wonder which one is right as Sioux Sports lists him at 5'11''. EIther way he may be a small puck moving defenseman. Either way, I had heard about him before he supposedly he's very good.

Sure hope you're wrong.

Robbie is 30 or 31 years old....big difference. I'm not saying Mario should hang out in NA for the next 5-7 year...I'm saying give it 1-3 years before going overseas. I have buddies who did the same thing....you wait 3-4 years before going over there (granted my buddies had a little more hockey talent than Mario though).

Agree....but I like the top end talent we get, those players are fun to watch and put our program on the map (I know...so do titles).

Agreed, just upsetting with how many draft picks we have on our team each year. In most cases, the teams we play have far less talent (on paper) than we do and more of our players go on to have successful NHL careers.....one would think we would take down more national titles. Just unlucky I guess (that's funny because we have more than most schools). It is a double-edged sword because we get there so often (which is great) but the season always ends in heart break fashion. Hopefully we're the lucky one's this year, I am just not feeling overly confident.

We were better than UMD when they won it all....but let's not kid ourselves, UMD was very good that year.

Haha...hockey has changed since then old timer....more and more American kids play the game now and more top end talent is playing college hockey than defecting (even including the past 1-3 years). You can't compare todays college hockey to the early 80's/90's. Also, you noted it took them 10 years to win after the Circus.....it's been over a decade since we've won one and look who has came through our program. I do appreciate the talented hockey players I was able to watch however.

Agreed. We definitely have better NHLers than they do

Calming post...I like it. I also agree with your comment on the young D men. Schmaltz is really starting to show up. We need the guys to keep chugging along. I was super pissed at the BSU tie (obviously) but I'm starting to ease up a little. I just don't want to see (or hear about) some terrible performance again this weekend. How you play now really matters going into tournament season.

That one hurt physically. There was a BC one while I was in school....like '04 or '05 that hurt bad too. Actually I think we lost to BC back to back years....when Boyle was on BC. Those hurt bad.

BC I believe....yes I remember. It's been longer than I thought.

Yes, I just hope you aren't one of the SIoux fans using total number of Natty's in the "who's best" arguement between us and the Gophs, or BC, or whomever. At some point...we need to win another if we're going to jump on that "go to" point to make most of our arguments. At some point that 2001 natty is going to be a championship won a long, long time ago. Look at the recruits BC is starting to get every year....it's because they win a lot (recently). I'm guessing McCoshen chose BC over us because they contend (actually contend) for the national title every single year. I for one am hoping that changes this year.

How is the upper deck in Mankato? Should be able to see pretty well correct? The rink can't be that big.

Exactly, especially for how close we get every year. At some point how doesn't a team just get lucky and string a couple of wins together late a win the whole thing. I do hope that is this year.

A little intense....but I agree 100%. Next year will be a tough year to be a top nationally ranked team...not impossible but a lot tougher than that of this year's team. I know a lot of you will say we have high turnover every year and we are stil good, but, at some point is it too much to ask for another Natty? You're only as good as you are on paper.
