Not complaining but I wonder if we score less ENG than we do on the power play. Wouldn't surprise me.

Rabbit's foot has been with us so far tonight, played fine for sure but maybe fortunate to be up 2-0. Sioux need to rev it up in the 3rd period cus obviously being down W Mich will. I have to think the broncos will play more disciplined to cut back on the penalties while at the same time (as always) the refs will try to even it out as we've had our share of power plays.

7 or 8 overtimes I believe, back in '77 I think.

Spot on TRex, you read my mind.

Don't disagree with you but then that reflects poorly on Jones' recruiting then if the two seniors (correct?) are not as good/can't play a particular role well enough to get some minutes over the freshmen. I guess that's why we're at where we're at then.

Hey, I'm an old guy and it's sad the amount of "youngsters" (under 35?) that make the games. The only time the students even half show up is for free pizza, NDSU or Min.

$1M question from a not so great hockey mind; intent to blow the whistle for what reason? Was the ref about to call a penalty, did he lose sight of the puck,...? Did they give an official reason as to why there "was intent to blow the whistle"? There had to be a reason unless it's an outright lie.

Gotta be at place of conf champ. Anywhere else, attendance lacks big-time.

If it takes 5 min to review video if goalie interference.....then it isn't.

Add #5 Siouxnami. It was Pattyn I believe who got called for goalie interference behind the DU goal in the 1st period, how I don't know. Pattyn moved to get around the goalie (which he did) but the goalie leaned/reached out to touch Pattyn as he went by then he flops like he got hit by Pattn to get the freaking int call. Terrible officiating.

I was at the game last night in 106, left corner from behind the goal, so a good view. I saw the goal come up off it's moorings but then it popped right back down on it so no issue there. Also, when the goal was scored, the Sioux player camped in front was not in the crease, nor did he interfere with the goalie. So, exactly what was the official reason for disallowing the goal? If it's interference with the goalie or the goal of it's moorings then the zebras blew despite having the replay option.

It's interesting that we have two senior big men in both Calcaterra and Salmonson who I believe have not played a minute in the last 3 - 4 games minimum. I thought Jones' plan, like many low/mid majors (like last year's team), was to build towards a senior laden team every few years so they're your starters or key contributors off the bench? Yes, big men Shanks and Cashman are your future but they're just freshmen. Poor judge in recruiting (I realize not everybody develops as hoped despite potential) if two senior big men can't even contribute off the bench or is Jones' simply building for the future and throwing out this season?

You need to check the post by WFO78 as (s)he's looking to sell two tickets to Sat game.

I think that makes 3 ENG's on the year then; 2x vs CC and 1x vs Lk Sup St.

It looks like it was the Sat night 3-1 win over Lake Superior St. If so, they sure played us tuff for a lowly ranked team both nights considering they jumped out to a 3-0 lead Fri nite.

2nd ENG, hey? More than 1 but it does seem like the empty netters are very difficult to come by anymore.

bang--Agree, that does seem very odd. Kind of hard to coach and be 100% into a game when you're Tweeting I would think?

Ahh, my bad. Referenced the wrong name. Maybe Sodbusters for new UND name?

Agree, she helped a player get up today that she knocked over near half-court. Does seem like a nice/friendly player even in the heat of competition.

So, any clue as to the attendance figures by individual games at the Xcel for the NSCC? You would think with the Goofers in it (home away from home game at the Ralph East) and 3 other Minn teams from within 90 min - 3 hours away minimum would be 8k - 10k fans a game. Hell, the Sioux would pack 5k fans minimum alone.

I agree with Mafia Man. The Beavers beat us in game 1 this season and, as stated, they always seem to play us tough at the Ralph. I gotta think Lake Inferior State and Niagara were worst teams this season at the Ralph, let alone in the last decade.

Nah (live in EGF), just joshing you cus you won money. Congrats on the winnings!

Stewie--I assume they're sold, texted you 2x but no reply?

Hey, how's my old bud/great guy Sodbuster doing!?
