Siouxfan_inDenver Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Bring it on. This team is special in every sense... when two of your top performers during the conference tournament are a kid that has been out for 6 weeks and a walk-on that shows depth. Lets get Gregoire back out there and do some damage in Titletown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFrog Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) Any idea why they have the Midwest Regional (Green Bay) as the early games on Saturday and the Northeast Regional as the late games? Wouldn't you typically schedule them east to west due to the time change? I find this very odd. Edit: I checked ESPNU's schedule for next Saturday....they are showing Lacrosse games when they could be showing the Sioux game.

shamus Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Hopefully she is as much of a fan as you are. Promise her something good this summer to let you go. she's from Wisconsin and never cared about hockey until she met me. I took her up to REA for her 1s time this year (notre dame), she went to the SShop during the 1st intermission and bought a jersey. also, everytime we go to a game or watch it on TV together the Sioux always win, so she's a good luck charm. I just need to remind her of that, and that we need to go, because the team needs her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoalieMask Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RPI_Puckman_logo.png AZ Sioux, I was hoping for this logo as you drew up the "weekly matchup" page. I don't care who you are...you gotta have some love for the Puckman logo! This is what we're dealing with as the Sioux take on the Engineers. From Wikipedia: "The official hockey mascot known as The Puckman has always been very popular. The Puckman is an anthropomorphic hockey puck with an engineer's helmet." During the 1970s and 80s, one RPI cheer was: E to the x, dy/dx, E to the x, dx Cosine, secant, tangent, sine 3.14159 Square root, cube root, log of pi Disintegrate them, RPI!

shamus Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 So, I just got the okay to order tickets. I pulled tickets at the Resch Center website, but the only delivery options are UPS ground or air. I gotta think that's cutting it too close at this point. I called their service center and they said they know about the problem and will call should be one of the options. They're trying to fix it and told me to try again in 4 hours. ARG! You guys think I have to worry about this selling out during these 4 hours?

johndahl Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Odd that Denver and ND are in the same region. I wonder if some were trying to ensure that another WCHA-only tournament doesn't occur by putting Merrimack in the Northeast instead of Denver? Swapping Merrimack and Denver would also bring the Northeast regional from two Hockey East teams to one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if some were trying to ensure that another WCHA-only tournament doesn't occur by putting Merrimack in the Northeast instead of Denver? Swapping Merrimack and Denver would also bring the Northeast regional from two Hockey East teams to one... I believe that this is the natural bracket according to the PWR ranking. #1 plays #16..... So while it seems unfair, it's a reflection on how the power is flawed, underranking both UND and Dumbver (as compared by the polls or the KRACH) rather than a decision by the committee. By the way I noticed that Jim Dahl has a really neat comparison feature with all the major rankings on it. http://siouxsports.com/hockey/rankings/compare/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choyt3 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Interesting to look at rankings of strength of schedules. Michigan tech not included in that, though would think they'd be in top 15 if so. No wonder there was no swapping of brackets. WCHA pretty strong again this year. Well, unless you've browsed b'vile lately, then you might be convinced otherwise.

brianvf Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I hate having to possibly play DU again in a week (don't want them to flip the tables on us like we did with MN a few years ago), but that's life. Can't overlook RPI like we did with Yale last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndGenSiouxFan Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I live in the Southern Metro on Mediacom, which apparently gets ESPN3, so I'm good to go. Stinks to have to watch it in front of the PC though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
