Sioux @ Maine - Saturday

[YaneA]

Penalties after the goal at 18:17. 5x5 hockey

[bcblues]

Sioux back on their heels at the end of the 2nd.

Sounds like we need this period to end.

[YaneA]

Second period nears end. Maine takes 2-1 lead into the locker room. C'mon, boys! Maine outshooting us now 21-18.

Tim probably has that backward. The Sioux still lead in SOG according to tweet I just got

[bcblues]

Well, the dive penalty draw was pretty bad. Sioux defense-men don't know if they should finish their checks (or even start them). Oh well, chalk this up to getting used to eastern refs.

That's what happens when you get 3.5 power plays in a period.

[AmericanSoldier15u]

sheesh, wtf happened? oh yeah, i guess refs realized they were sleeping in the 1st half of the game and decided to start calling BS again lol

[bcblues]

Didn't we defend 10 last nite?

Wow, I hope we never have to play a game with Hockey East officiating for the rest of the season. That diving no-call killed us. Congrats Hockey East refs for deciding this game.

Many of those were called on legal checks. Tonight's were called with no contact, just dives. I think you'd have to play more games in HE to get used to this crap.

[kvinbe]

Say what you want to about the officiating, but the Sioux are just a half-step slow compared to Maine. I'm watching the webcast and Maine definitely appears to be the quicker team out there. If the Sioux aren't allowed to even things up with physical play, it could be a frustrating third period to watch.

That call on the dive was a disgrace to officiating. That Maine player deserves to get his ass kicked at the end of the game.

[YaneA]

Sioux down 2-1, with a period to play. Hostile crowd, trained diving Bears and refs who don't know icing from frosting. Yet, I'm liking our chances. Let's go, Sioux. Show 'em what you're made of!

[kvinbe]

This weekend was obviously a lot bigger deal to Maine than it was to the Sioux...or so it appears at this point. We need to pull this one out of our ars for pairwise rankings.

No wonder why coaching is so tough. Do you congratulate the Maine player who dove, allowing them to score on the ensuing PP? Or do you get pissed for disgracing the game and not playing straight-up?

Well, if you're Derek Jeter, you definitely congratulate him.

[YaneA]

Third period underway. Let's get that split boys.

If HE referees are so easily fooled, would guess you'd have to start coahing diving to even up the game.

[duluthSioux]

just signed in...doesnt' sound good

[YaneA]

Maine scores again 3-1

[darell1976]

Can they switch the game on the radio to the Sioux football game.

[kvinbe]

Truly pathetic play by the Sioux. On their heels to start the period and they pay for it right away. How can you play that way coming out of the locker room?

[YaneA]

What a revolting development that is

[Trunk Monkey]

Well, i Guess the Sioux are not as good as they are on paper.. Get it in gear boys!

[YaneA]

Bears take hooking penalty. Let's get one now
