TH: "This is not an overly charged crowd. It will be different with Duluth comes to town next week, I'll tell you that."

You've got his accent down real well.

[Shawn-O]

You've got his accent down real well.

Thanks. I've been playing with the Dialectizer that Sprig hooked us up with.

Does anyone know if there is a Sioux Sports Network Schedule? It appears that this game is not being broadcast on KU band Satellite. Either that or I'm not figuring out my satellite remote. Thanks for any help...

All home games are on FSSN. THe game is on tonight, so I'd guess you should be able to get it on the KU band. Same for the football game tomorrow.

I figure you're about 12 mins. ahead of me now. Whenever I press "add reply" or "refresh" I seem to lose time.

Has the 3rd started yet?

[Shawn-O]

Yes. Jones with a penalty. U-18 on a 4-3 pp.

[sioux fan in phoenix]

I'm midway through the Lundbohm interview.

[Shawn-O]

10:50 to go in the 3rd.

[Shawn-O]

SOG 28-10 Sioux.

[sioux fan in phoenix]

Still only 4-1?

[Shawn-O]

Yes. 4-1.

[Shawn-O]

4-1. 5:04 remaining. Crowd approximately 6,500, smallest in new REA history.

[sioux fan in phoenix]

It's also gotta be the smallest crowd on this board on a hockey night.

[Shawn-O]

Just the diehards.

[sioux fan in phoenix]

Just the diehards.

I think the other diehards are watching the game /

[Shawn-O]

As I would usually be doing. Didn't make the 300 mile drive for the U-18'ers.

[Shawn-O]

Game over. Sioux win. No injuries. Mission accomplished.

[sioux fan in phoenix]

Thx a lot for the updates--really appreciate it & have a nice weekend.

[Smoggy]

Bina from the point through traffic make it 4-1! May have been deflected through traffic.

Blais is saying that Fabian might have tipped that one.

[OETKB]

Watched this one on dataflix and happy to say no buffering problems tonight. UND looked pretty sloppy at times, but that is to be expected after a week off and no mental hype. Also, Fabian, bina, Canady & Foyt were in the lineup, which is not usually the case. Lundbohm, Hale sat.

Top line was asleep tonight. Is it just me, or is Zach really struggling this season? I've seen him show some major frustration, like slamming the doors shut and such. I don't think he is very happy with how this season is going on a personal basis.

Ziggy looked good on a few saves. It must be tough to face so few shots and still play sharply.

Smallest crowd at the Ralph. Officially 6,891. Still above capacity at the old Ralph.

Go Sioux football tomorrow!

On that US goal, they scored, I think, on a Bina turnover.

Exactly, it was a mistake by Bina. I stick with my preference for Foyt over Bina. The second USA goal, which was waved off by the penalty, was a very weak goal. It didn't appear that Ziggy quit on the play, rather let in a softy.

[SiouxTupa]

Weak goal...I think in that instance you have to credit the shooter. He found daylight where there was none. Hell of a shot. Ziggy played pretty well, although he had trouble controlling rebounds. I guess you can expect that after not playing for awhile.

I also underestimated the U-18 team. They were fast, and great in the transition. Their problems occurred when they played puck chase because UND was much bigger and better in the control aspects. Overall I think this Development team has come along way since being schellacked by DU and CC. In my "professional" opinion they play with much more "gusto" than many DI teams.

[Fedorov]

Ziggy played pretty well, although he had trouble controlling rebounds.

It seemed like his glove was not broken-in and he couldn't close the glove to hold onto the puck.
