My nugget to add is this, this is the first time in a long time, I have absolutely no fear when someone takes a penalty. Between Zane and this team's ability to score a man short, the "always were" chant is finally correct.

Weird. Maybe since it was essentially the current authentic, maybe they sent it off to the company. Maybe I'm just full of it to, could always be a possibility but I swear that was what she told me. She had contemplated just doing the premier jersey, and they would do the stitching for that one at Authentics, but if you bought the actual $250 she had to have it sent off. Anyway, glad it worked out for you Brasco!

See if I can make it past Friday night. Friday: J. Schmaltz Saturday: The General

This. I think this is my problem with Mattson in the lineup when we are healthy. He makes great plays keeping the play alive in the offensive zone, but I always seem to see some big blunder on the defensive side that really bugs me.

I don't see the hate on Johnson that others do, or Murphy. I know Murphy was supposed to be a goal scorer coming in, but the guy is working and keeping plays alive in the offensive zone, wearing the D men down for the opposing teams. Johnson is kind of the same, always seems to be in the middle of the action on the ice, at least to me. I'm the opposite on Panz and Mattson. Mattson does a good job pinching down to keep the puck in the zone, but to me, Panz is almost invisible out there.

They don't send it off to get stitched when you bring a jersey in, they will do it right at the Ralph. The jerseys they send off, are when you buy an Authentic at the shop, and then want names/numbers/C's/A's put on it. They then send it off to the same company that does the jerseys for the team, to give it a true "Authentic" process. My Blood jersey my wife bought me for Christmas has held up very well, but I again, like many others, don't actually wash it. It gets spot treated, and only brought out for games at the Ralph. Other than that, it stays in the closet.

Same here. Although, I was only buying a youth hat for my six month old son. As far as throwing them on the ice, I contemplated it with OD's, but all I have are Sioux logo ones, and I'm not taking the chance of not getting it back. My wife and I were present for Frattin and Gregoire's Hat Tricks in 2011, the Ralph was crazy loud that night.

Friday- N. Schmaltz Saturday- Drake

I don't have a lot of posts on this board, but I have lurked for a very long time before I even created an account. Why do you spend so much time trolling? There is a thread completely dedicated for pot stirring, why do you have to bring this up every week in the game threads?

Is it just me, or does it always seem like we manage to get a 5 minute major in Denver.

Someone that is able to watch this needs to give me a solid play by play tonight. Was going to go to the bar and watch this, but sick kid at the moment, not leaving the house now.

Mark Mac for Friday night. N. Schmaltz for Saturday.

Thanks, somehow I completely glanced over the topic devoted to viewing options.

Does anyone know of any viewing options this weekend besides NCHC TV? I want to say I remember seeing that one of these games would be Nationally broadcast, but I can't remember for certain. Edit: Nevermind, I should have looked a little further down on the main hockey page.

I'd have been bidding if there were any Blood jerseys. I just couldn't see forking over that kind of cash for some of those. All great jerseys, but just not high enough on my favorite players list to justify it.

Dear Lord, those two would be the absolute last players I would ever own a jersey of. In fact, if anyone even gave me a jersey of one of those two, I would burn it.

I couldn't agree more. Can't believe that Cooper isn't done for the game.

Shorty!!!!

I must have missed that, I didn't see any of their guys leaving the game.

Then where was the ejection for the Miami player that was trying to rip his helmet off?

Wow. Just wow. Now Gaarder is in the box off from an oscar worthy performance.

That was pretty weak call on St. Clair. How about the douche shaking his gloves as the refs are pushing him away?

You guys took me out of the bidding on those jerseys pretty quick. Don't have the available funds at the moment to be dropping 2 G's on a jersey. Wife would have killed me.

This is a good question, I'd be curious myself. Might take a day of vacation to come and see Lord Stanley.

I realize I'm very new to the board, although I've crept on it for the last two years, so my opinion probably doesn't hold much value, but, I never expected this type of season from this team. Last fall, I didn't expect them to be near the top of the conference, I didn't expect them to make it to the "big" tournament, and I sure didn't expect them to be in the Frozen Four pushing the #1 team in the nation to the final second. In my opinion, this has been Hakstol's finest coaching job of his career. He took a bunch of guys with mediocre skill, and made them play as a unit, and a dangerous one at that. With some of the skill set I hear is coming in next season, and player development from this team, I'm hopeful towards next season. And if they don't hang number 8, I'm still going to spend my money to see them play, I'm still going to watch Ebay for "Sioux" items to add to my collection, and I refuse to be a negative Nancy about the coaches and the players. Thanks you seniors for an outstanding season.
