SIOUX vs MICHIGAN TECH

[yzerman19]

I am a bigger Sioux Fan than all of you combined

Did I mention that I am also rich and exceptionally good looking, and my hockey knowledge and insight is that of Don Cherry, Badger Bob and Red Berenson combined.

Silliness

ok, personally, i think the und students vs. season ticket people rivalry or whatever it is, should stop now. we're all sioux fans, and we all love hockey, i feel like we should just leave it at that, and focus on supporting the team. maybe you like to stand up and cheer your heart out like i do, or maybe you like to sit in your seat and quietly enjoy a good hockey game. either way you look at it, we're all out there for the same reason, and you'll be hard-pressed to find another place with this much passion for a hockey team, in my opinion of course.

Just wanted to pop back in here and tell the Sioux fans good series. Ok, so Friday sucked, but Saturday and Sunday were both pretty good. "Eleven" SOG for the Huskies on Sunday though? Ouch.

Luckily, Tech doesn't go to Grand Forks next season during the regular season... YAY! ... Probably will be there for playoffs though... BOO!

As for me, I'm glad to be home now. I left shortly after the game and drove back some 9 hours to Houghton. We got back around 9 AM EST. Only got pulled over once.... but no tickets.

As many of you probably heard, this is Teslak's last season with Tech as a junior. He will/should soon be signing with the Flyers. I'm sure you Sioux fans will all miss him so.

See many of you at the Final Five. I'm bringing my Sioux jersey along.

Btw, Sioux-cia, great meeting you on Friday!

EDIT: Oh yeah, and will you old foags quit beating your chests about who donated more money and who has been going to Sioux games for longer? Sioux Yeah Yeah is just a passionate Sioux fan. Don't take everything she says SO LITERALLY. Instead of criticizing her, maybe try admiring her passion.

I agree that standing student sections are louder and more energetic than student sections that do not stand. I've been leading the Tech student section for 3 years now. They've gone a long way. Coach Russell has been fighting to make sure that we are able to continue standing because of the great atmosphere that we bring the John MacInnes Student Ice Arena.

I really wish I could've seen the atmosphere at the Old Ralph. I've heard so much great stuff about it. It really is too bad that the students are being held back too much by UND at the REA. That place could be pretty scary if they were allowed to stand and be as loud as they wanted.

here we go again..

season ticket holders(who dont do much more than clap at games) vs. und students.

I don't know why it has to be a "us vs them" mentality. I love what the students bring to the game. I love their energy, their enthusiam and I love it when they get really rowdy. In fact, one of the reasons I go to the games (besides to watch awesome hockey) is to get rowdy and forget that I am an adult for a few hours. I have been "reminded" many times by the rent-a-cops that it is not appropriate to climb the glass and try to strangle an official.

I appreciate Sioux_Yeah_Yeah's frustration - I often feel it as well regarding some of the people that sit in the seats around me. I want everyone in the building up on their feet screaming from the drop of the puck until the final buzzer. The only statement that I took issue with was "I am probably the biggest Sioux fan ever", because that statement is just plain wrong.

(by the way, in my opinion, Ralph was the biggest Sioux fan ever)

i agree, i dont know either, but i dubbed it that because its always the students pissing off season ticket holder or vice versa. oh well.

So how did you get through Wisconsin without getting a ticket? Just for the record I don't drive the speed limit and it still take 4 hours just to get to Duluth from Grand Forks. Yikes did all four wheels touch the ground?

Is this for sure with Teslak?

[yzerman19]

Just throwing everyone I could think of off-hand who has a ton of hockey coaching experience. I should've just said Dean Blais!

We got pulled over in Minny somewhere. We weren't really going that fast. Bleh, we were pulled over about 100 yards from a 60 MPH sign. He clocked us going "57 in a 45" I guess. Psh. There wasn't any cops in Wisco, I guess.

And with Tes... yeah um.. he's outta here. He's gone. We'll miss him in net, but Mr. Nolan is more than capable of filling his shoes. Hell, it was Robby that was in net both nights when we swept the Sioux a couple'a years back.

The wave should be done only when..................NEVER.

I thought it was funny.

Thanks Goon! Are you going to the F5?

I can see the NHL stealing the big time goalies from the NHL. After watching the Dallas back stink it up the other night can see why it is rumored that Bachman is gone after C.C.'s season is over.

Yep, and I am relieved I am finishing up my 7th overnight shift in a row. It is going to be party time. Mrs Goon let me go after telling me originally that I wasn't going, I stood my ground. I just hope the locks haven't changed when I get home . I am going down with Sioux7, and I think my liver is going to be screaming after a couple of days of hanging out with him.

[yzerman19]

Well, I'd love to assist you with your liver destruction. I'm garnering a lot od SS.com beer debt (i already owe Sioux CIA and Sioux mama) but I'll put you on the list too. I've never met a SS.com poster in person. Hope to do it this weekend! section 119 and west 7th street and possibly Alery's.

We are sitting in 113 about 8 rows from the glass.
