Washburn Sioux Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Sioux will play with intensity tonight. Should be a great series. Hope the Ralph is loud and rocking tonight. Let's Go SIOUX!!!! Quote
BudLight Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 Any channels in Fargo that I can watch without listening to the Gopher announcers? Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Sioux will play with intensity tonight. Should be a great series. Hope the Ralph is loud and rocking tonight. Let's Go SIOUX!!!! They're playing the Gophers in their home barn...they'd better play with intensity!!! Quote
OETKB Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Hakstol's Booster meeting comments: ~Duncan is getting more comfortable at center. We put Hextal up there, and we think some chemistry is developing. ~The Zajac line lost their flow in Detroit, but we are starting to see it come back. ~We need some offense out of Vande. Glad to see that he is re-emerging. ~Ben Blood is playing well, but Miller is a more comfortable choice with Jones for tonight. Could be inserted tomorrow. ~16 game stretch starts tonight. This team will go as far as its senior class takes it. Hak looked pretty fired up for this series in his speech. I'm excited to see what the boys can do tonight. Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Hopefully someone at Siouxtra remembers to activate the links. The radio link still isn't available. Quote

Siouxdonyms Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Haven't done this for a while, so I may have missed some. Hak's pre-game comments: I think we've had a good focused week...now we have to carry that focus into the game tonight. I think they're a good solid team up front with 3 or 4 top players up front. They're a good deep team up front. We're best when we're in our rhythm, so we're going to do our best doing that. We're not going to match lines early on. We'll have to make up our mind about that as the game goes on. The defense is the critical matchup. We're not just going to have one pair play again, but we'll definitely have a couple of units who can do a good job against them. We said to make sure you use a little bit of that extra energy. You have to come in the game with enough presence and poise to make good plays. There's a fine line of that balance, but I'm confident that we can find that balance. Brad back on the blue line. Bottom line is that he's been effective down there. It was a tough decision to take Blood out, because he had a good weekend last week and a good week of practice. We'll make that decision day by day. Their numbers are excellent on the specialty teams. But we feel we can be effective on the special teams. We're going to have to have it against their effective kill. Hopefully we can beat one of their guys up the rush and have opportunities in the zone. There will be some plays that are broken up and you have to go get it, but if you're sharp and crisp, you'll be able to make the play happen. Both teams can cycle the puck well...both can be real hard on the opposing teams defense. I think we have to be physical against their d-corps. You have to be physical against their big guys, but especially against their d-corp, especially some of the younger guys back there. We have a lot of young guys playing good hockey. Our next few months will come down to our senior class. Those guys will be our driving force. Quote
BigGreyAnt41 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I know the game is in GF, but this thread sure is quiet. Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 When I lived in Colorado Springs we used to have alumni get togethers to watch the games against the Gophers so perhaps there are plenty of UND parties all over the US. I know the game is in GF, but this thread sure is quiet. Quote
BudLight Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 Wow! The White Out looks really awesome! I'm very impressed! Quote
wsdSIOUXfalls Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Listened to some fsn coverage before fssn started, and thought it interesting that Gopher head coach for tonight, Hill, says he expects to get text messages from Lucia between periods tonight..... Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Trupp whiffed on a beautiful set up. Can't be missing too many of those. Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Sioux getting some chances early. Let's bury some boys! Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Watkins with a big slapshot 8 feet out. Should have put a move on him. Another wide shot by Watty. Quote
keikla Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 A lot of intensity so far. It's great to hear the crowd fired up! Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 C'mon boys!!! 8 shots already, and several of them quality! Need to bury them! Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Gophers survive the first 10 minutes, which was their first goal. C'mon Sioux. Keep it up, but bury your shots. Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Nice big rebound there, but no one to pounce on it. "Let's Go Sioux" going. Sioux cycling well in their own end. Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Great opportunity, but Gregoire couldn't get it in. Gophers going after Hextall. Looks like Flynn and Hextall may be going to the box. Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Another Hextall gets under the skin of the Gophers. I want more. How was that offsetting Quote
BigGreyAnt41 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Hextall's hit wasn't late, was it? Why was there a whistle anyway? Quote
