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!?

Well, duh, we're located just 75 minutes from the Canadian border! That aside though, take a look at the Fighting Sioux roster, numerous US stars/players--McIntyre, Parks, J Schmaltz, N Schmaltz, Poolman, LaDue, Ausmus, L Johnson, T Olson,St Clair, Panzarella, Poganski, Gaarder, Simonson, ...

Fire Sandy!

Well put In Hvn There Is No Beer.

Yah. To ref "veteran" status, fine, but to specifically count how many players are over age 21 is looking for excuses--typical.

Nobody on this year's team is even close to Huff. Even on off-nights, Huff excelled at defense.

Good question??? So, you can get it at $1.75 a gln in Fargo and we're a qtr more! Typical of the GF market!

Yah, likely he would have had no better pro career either way but not NHL caliber I assume so as a non-hockey player but admittedly a huge Sioux fan if I was in his shoes I'd rather be a sr at UND with 12K adoring fans and a shot at a national title vs playing in front of I'm guessing a few thousand folks for nothing that really matter (okay, make some money) in the minors. That's just me though, others may think/value things differently--understood.

Uh, I'm positive they won't look past CC.

God, can't believe I'm saying this but gotta admit you're probably right Mariucci. Somebody shoot me now.

What wings?
