ber818 Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 We live in Mankato and are really excited for this weekend! It's great to get to wear our Sioux jerseys and not feel out of place. If people are still looking for tickets, I know there are some on craigslist at face value! Hope to see the stands filled with Sioux fans this weedend! Quote
squirtcoach Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 I'll be coming down for both games with my son. Look forward to seeing the Sioux fans and cheering on the Fighting Sioux! It should be a great weekend for Old Time Fighting Sioux Hockey. Quote
hrkac Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 I think anything less than a sweep is unacceptable. agreed. will be there Saturday, what's the name of that irish bar close to the cel phone arena? Quote
Blackheart Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 agreed. will be there Saturday, what's the name of that irish bar close to the cel phone arena? Pukey McBarfigans? Quote
Snake Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 agreed. will be there Saturday, what's the name of that irish bar close to the cel phone arena? It's been a few years since I've made the 'kato trip, but we used to go to McGoff's for pregame festivities. I thought I heard they shut down, though. Quote
GoalieMask Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Yes, the Irish Bar across the way is now closed. Just a heads up, I was checking around for some reservations for dinner/drinks before the game and apparently Saturday afternoon is also Minnesota State's Commencement for Winter Semester so expect eating places to be busy.

dagies Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 I think anything less than a sweep is unacceptable. If the Mankato goalie "cooks" up another 96-97 save % weekend it will be tough to sweep. Let see if he/they are in a groove or if that was a finely timed peak to his career. Quote
Siouxman Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Methinks it was either an aberration or the Gophers. Cook's GAA for the season is just over 3.0 and their senior backup is about 3.2 on the season. It should be noted that MSU had their full team intact for the first time just a couple weeks ago so maybe that has made a difference. Quote
brianvf Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Ouch: UND will continue to be without top-line forwards Jason Gregoire and Brett Hextall. Both continue to be sidelined with upper-body injuries. Sioux coach Dave Hakstol also said it Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Ouch: Hopefully this team gets all of its injuries out of the way now... Anyone still worried about having too many players on the roster this year? Quote
sioux7>5 Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Might not be able to go. Found out there is a snow storm coming our way for early Saturday morning. Not sure if it is going to mean no travel or not yet. Damnit! Quote
UNDLeafsGuy Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Yeah I am hoping Toronto tanks this season as well as the Boston Bruins get their top pick again this season for trading Kessel. I don't want to jinx the team... I am enjoying the Leafs not being good this season. Hmmm you wouldn't beat a Cub's fan down like this would you Being a Leafs fan I agree they are still terrible Big weekend, a sweep over the cows would set us up great going into the holidays. After this weekend only 7 more road games until the playoffs Quote
UNDLeafsGuy Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 agreed. will be there Saturday, what's the name of that irish bar close to the cel phone arena? Hrkac ........... you like beer ? 30 years ago today ........... JL RIP Quote
focker Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Anyone know if they have onsite parking for games at MSU? We just scored free tickets for Friday's game and I've never been there. Pretty pumped about this... Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Anyone know if they have onsite parking for games at MSU? We just scored free tickets for Friday's game and I've never been there. Pretty pumped about this... There is a ramp by the arena, if I remember.... Quote

It should be noted that MSU had their full team intact for the first time just a couple weeks ago so maybe that has made a difference. Cook is actually better than he's given credit for. He really started hitting his stride near the end of last year. He almost stole the series for us last year in the playoffs against SCSU. Our team defense has finally gotten to the point of being able to confident in front of him. I can virtually guarantee the Sioux will have at least 3 odd man rushes each game still. Our defense tends to hang our goalies out to dry a lot. EDIT: Holy crap, I cant believe I registered almost 2 years ago and just made my first post. Quote
bale31 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 There is a ramp by the arena, if I remember.... Tons of on street parking available. Don't bother paying for parking unless you aren't willing to walk a couple blocks. My suggestion is to park in the Wells Fargo parking lot or one of the local business' parking lots. Quote

bale31 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 How would you compare him with Zacharias? I'd say it's too early to tell. Cook was actually the #3 goalie coming into the year last year. He didn't make his first start until January and worked his way into the starting role. They have different styles too. Cook is, I believe, 6'3" and Zacharias was 5'9" if memory serves. Cook is a big guy that doesn't get out of position too often, but he also won't make as many of the circus type saves (or at least he hasn't done that on a regular basis yet). Quote
TinyTimmay Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Hey guys. My dad and I are taking the train to Washington this weekend for the Bison-EWU game. We'll be stuck on the train Friday night but I will have a laptop and WiFi is available. Is the Sioux-Mankato game going to have a webcast? If so, where can I find it and if it costs something, how much? Thanks in advance for any help. Quote
Goon Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Anyone still worried about having too many players on the roster this year? No not at all, because the dept is a big time strength... Quote
Goon Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Big weekend, a sweep over the cows would set us up great going into the holidays. After this weekend only 7 more road games until the playoffs I am ready already for the Final Five already. That means spring is on the way. Quote
