When was the last time we actually wore the black jerseys for a home game?

2010-2011 season when we played St. Cloud. Think it was the Saturday game where we ripped off 5 goals in the first period.

@SchlossmanGF: RT @MChambersDP: Soph G Jussi Olkinuora, who has allowed just 2 goals in his last 2 games, to start Fri for Pioneers, and might go Sat too

Time for UND to light him up....And just for the record he played against Wisconsin who is goal starved.

Of note for those of you that play Sioux Survivor, I will be gone this weekend and getting online may be touch and go. Vegas_Sioux has said that he will update the game if I can. However, if someone wins tonight...I will start a new game on Sunday...I promise!

2 damn solid programs skating this weekend! I hope UND comes out flying, hitting early and often as the general talked about in through these doors! The Animal and The General drop a few pio's!!!

Brad had some good numbers on these 2 programs In the herald today

• Every Western Collegiate Hockey Association program has had at least four sub-20 win seasons since the last time either UND or Denver did.

• Since 1997, UND and Denver have combined for 10 Broadmoor Trophies as the league’s playoff champion. The rest of the league has combined for six.

• Either UND or Denver have been in 15 of the last 16 WCHA championship games.

• Since 1997, UND and Denver have combined for 10 MacNaughton Cups — also more than the rest of the league combined.

• Only twice in the last 16 years has both UND and Denver been shutout from winning a league trophy — 2003 and 2007. UND was a Frozen Four team in 2007.

• In the last decade, they rank 1-2 in wins among WCHA teams. UND has 250, Denver has 236. No other WCHA team is within 15 wins.

Pretty cool!

@SchlossmanGF: RT @crb1: It's 11:50 and students are already starting to lineup outside the Ralph. Don't think this happens at DU.

Big game tonight....I feel a UND victory. 5-2.

[AZSIOUX]

@SchlossmanGF: Stanley Cup champ Matt Greene expected to be in the house this weekend for UND-Denver.

This team is averaging just 3 goals a game to date...IMO they will need more than that each night to win.

Don't make his head grow... He won't be able to find a hat that fits.

Down in Minneapolis this weekend for the football game tomorrow. Anyone know of a place that would possibly show the sioux game tonight?

Joe Sensers in Bloomington is always a safe bet

Is that a nice place? I have never been just wondering.

Pretty nice...lotsa televisions...usually a fair amount of Sioux fans there...watched the UND/DU WCHA playoff game there a few years ago when Andy Schneider scored the game winner...according to Doug Woog, who was sitting about 10 feet away from me, the Sioux fans "blew the roof off the place"...good times...

[geaux_sioux]

Rocco needs to get one in the net tonight to get out of his funk. He's pressing and creating but things just aren't going his way yet. When he does score I expect him to explode offensively as he gets his flow back.

I just rewatched yesterdays game, I think Senkbeil is a necessity on that fourth line. His reach is an asset, and he has become much more tenacious. After, how he has played, I can't see Chyzyk getting much playing time in the second half, especially if Parks is healthy.

Senkbeil terrorized DU last night. He's improved by leaps and bounds. He should try and craft his game into a Malone type of style. Haven't noticed Chyzyk this year. What's the latest word on Parks?

I believe Parks has a shoulder injury, a different injury than what was ailing him before. There hasn't been any new information on him for a few weeks now. All Brad has been saying is it is looking more and more like we won't see him before Christmas break. I would expect he is almost ready to play, and would be very surprised if he wasn't in the lineup for the first games after break.
