Bob in Wisconsin Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Hey, I don't know if this is news or not, or where to post it, but since this thread is getting read now, I'll stick it here. Looks like we might get a USHL expansion team. United States Hockey League ready to begin team for proposed Rothschild Expo Center Wausau Daily Herald The proposed 5000-seat ice arena in the Cedar Creek area under preliminary development would likely draw a hockey team, according to President of the United States Hockey League, Gino Gasparini. Preliminary drawings for the $20 million ice area and exposition center are being developed and should be available in two weeks, said Jim Jacobson, the development manager for Dixon Co., involved in the project. About 10 people gathered at the Rothschild Village Hall Monday night to hear an update on the project, which is slated for completion in spring 2009. Jacobson revisited the specifics of the facility, which will feature two ice rinks, seating for 5,000, several private boxes, a sports bar/restaurant and a state-of-the-art sound system for big-name musical performers. Gasparini said his league is ready to expand their franchise and could use the facility for its 32 home games a year. Quote
farce poobah Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Hmmm.... something doesn't add up at face value. Question: Which of these doesn't make sense? A) None of the nation's top 50 scorers play for UND. or B) 3 of the top 7 in the WCHA play for UND. Quote
Goon Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) Hmmm.... something doesn't add up at face value. Question: Which of these doesn't make sense? A) None of the nation's top 50 scorers play for UND. or B) 3 of the top 7 in the WCHA play for UND. I think if you look at the goal tending leaders from the WCHA Nationally and the refing I think there is a reason for the drop off. If you look at the numbers it is pretty impressive. That is not a lot of goals being given up.

sioux7>5 Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 I do have a question & maybe someone can answer this for me please. Does anyone know what station will carry this weekend series online? If so could they please be kind enough to post it thank you. Second, I would love to have the SIOUX SWEEP DU & a Jimmie Johnson win at Daytona & I will be at Daytona for that race. SIOUX FAN SINCE 1973. I think there is a link to the audio on Fighting Sioux.com in the Souxtra area, you might have to pay a nominal fee to join but you could listen and watch it there. I think that is correct. Have fun at the race. I see alot of left turns in your near future. Quote

Oxbow6 Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Correct me if I'm wrong but when we scored on Sat. in Denver all 3 goals were special team goals: 1SH and 2 PP? We will need to get a couple 5 on 5 goals this weekend as well as a couple PP goals to sweep. Quote

We will need to get a couple 5 on 5 goals this weekend as well as a couple PP goals to sweep. We do need to get some 5 on 5 goals this weekend, but our pp needs to get better, if i did my math correct we are 1 for our last 22 pp's since the landcow game! We need to create some chances when we are on the PP Quote

You also have to look at the quality of the shots teams are getting off. With the way they call the games in the league they are playing right into the defenses hands. Quote
keikla Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Hak said in an interview that last week they weren't working on the pp at all. With a streak of 0 in 20, let's hope they worked on it extra hard this week. Quote

Big A HG Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 INCH has JP in their top 3 now for Hobey Baker. Let's go Jean-Philippe! Quote

With a streak of 0 in 20, let's hope they worked on it extra hard this week. I think he meant for just their off week of practice. I assumed from his comments that it meant they were working on it this week in practice. I could easily be wrong though. Quote

You also have to look at the quality of the shots teams are getting off. With the way they call the games in the league they are playing right into the defenses hands. The goaltending numbers are impressive. They are also helped by the fact that the WCHA allows teams to clutch, grab, and hook and not allow quality scoring chances. With all that going on it is going to help any goaltenders stats. Quote

I could easily be wrong though. This isnt Rocket Science - every time the power play goes south, one thing is obvious - we piddle around with the puck until we lose it without ever getting it on net - how we can go from a good power play to this in a week or two is beyond me. The players must know what to do by now - all they have to do is pull the trigger. Quote

I did see UND is on pace to set a school record for best Power Kill in a season. This season .891, Record 2003-2004 .872 Quote
brianvf Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 I totally agree, way to much back in forth passing out top, and no shots. Get it on net and good things will happen Agreed. Funny how in the MSUM series (when the dmen just blasted shots from the blueline and the forwards looked for rebounds), the PP was very effective. Quote
SiouxCrioux1 Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 I totally agree, way to much back in forth passing out top, and no shots. Get it on net and good things will happen Put Genoway on the first unit. He'll get shots on goal. Quote

You also have to look at the quality of the shots teams are getting off. With the way they call the games in the league they are playing right into the defenses hands. The way the refs call the games is also a huge factor in this. I agree, the refs need to step up. Quote
brianvf Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Put Genoway on the first unit. He'll get shots on goal. But then our 2nd unit wouldn't do much. Quote
SiouxCrioux1 Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 But then our 2nd unit wouldn't do much. I agree but we have to get the first unit going before we start to worry about the 2nd. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted February 13, 2008 Author Posted February 13, 2008 I agree but we have to get the first unit going before we start to worry about the 2nd. exactly. it will click this weekend!! Quote
