Ice Arena Man Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 May just go to Mankato this weekend on Saturday and cheer for the PURPLE COWS wearing my SIOUX jersey! Would Like to see a sweep of St Cloud this weekend! 1 Quote
Mariucci Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 We've got two tough weekends at home, but if the Sioux can take care of business, I believe Minnesota has both Wisconsin and St. Cloud on the road. Possibility to make up a little ground. Really hurt losing that game to CC, as they still would have been tied with Minnesota had they taken care of business at home like they need to from here on out. Gophers are home Friday against Mankato and then on the road for 5 straight, 1 in Mankato and then St Cloud and UW. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 Sweep this weekend and anything can happen in the last month. Wow 7 teams with in 3 points of first place. That's crazy Quote
Big A HG Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I think we get 6 of 8 pts the next couple weekends which will set us up quite nicely down the stretch. I really feel like this team is about to breakout. One thing Hak's teams tend to do is play tight, until the stretch run of conference play. Then they tighten up again in the playoffs. If they play loose, fast, and smart, I think they can beat just about anyone. 1 Quote

I told someone on Saturday night at Mariucci that I thought this was the first time in a while I thought playing a wide open game favored UND over MN. It allows Rocco, Kristo, Knight, and Gleason to really shine and use their creativity. If they can just be more responsible in their own zone I think the sky is the limit for this team. Quote
The Exiled One Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I think these could be high scoring games both nights m. Both teams have the horses to put up multiple points. Scsu swept Denver and that hasn't happens in something like 60 plus series or could be off but it's been a while I know that. Denver hadn't been swept in conference place since the last time SCSU swept them. That was 11/15/08, BTW. Just in case anybody was curious, Denver was not able to sweep the Huskies at any point within that time frame. Needless to say, the Huskies record against DU is pretty decent in recent history. Their record is not as good against UND in the same time frame, but they have managed to split the last three series. The last time UND swept the Huskies was 12/4/10 at the Ralph. The Huskies were 5-7-2 going into that weekend. They're 11-5 in the WCHA at the moment. UND has a solid team, but probably not as solid as the woofing would indicate. I know this isn't the best place to say it, but I do believe a sweep is possible... by EITHER team. A seasoned gambler would probably put their money on a split, but I'm no gambler. Quote
brianvf Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 UND has a solid team, but probably not as solid as the woofing would indicate. The woofing? You obviously weren't on here after the Friday night UMN game... Quote
The Exiled One Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 The woofing? You obviously weren't on here after the Friday night UMN game... I'll have to wait until after Friday night's game to compare. Quote

I know this isn't the best place to say it, but I do believe a sweep is possible... by EITHER team. A seasoned gambler would probably put their money on a split, but I'm no gambler. I would say SCSU's chances of a sweep are very, very slim...less than 10%. Quote
hrkac Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 i believe this weekend will be the start of the late season run. Quote
The Exiled One Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I would say SCSU's chances of a sweep are very, very slim...less than 10%. *best Jim Carrey voice* "So you're saying there's a chance!" Your odds mean you'd be fairly comfortable putting up $89 to win $10 that the Huskies won't sweep. I'm not a gambling man, but think I know a few Husky fans with $10 I could put you in contact with.

UND is what??? 20+ and 4 in at home in their last 20+ home games? I'm just saying I don't need $10, but if someone is willing give it away, I'll take it. Quote

I don't actually think SCSU will sweep, but 10 dollars to win 89? My kind of odds. Quote

My kind of odds. I actually wouldn't risk $10....that's a 12 pack for Friday's game. Sioux aren't going to get swept (knock on wood). Besides the last 10 minutes of Saturday's game, I thought we looked fine. The gophers played there best hockey on both Friday and Saturday night (strong goaltending, capitalizing on a high % of oppurtunities, etc.). We're making our push here on out. Our team is very good.

The Sicatoka Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Can we get the PA guy to play "Send In The Clowns" when St. Clown State steps onto the ice? 3 Quote

jodcon Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Roe calls out Mitch Mac on twitter...funny Sweep the clowns To what...a diving contest? Quote
brianvf Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Roe calls out Mitch Mac on twitter...funny Roe must be holding a serious grudge. This happened over a year ago, and he hasn't even been on the SCSU team for the last two years. Time to move on dude. Quote
UND85 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 SCSU just finished a 10 game home stand. Yes they played 10 straight at home. They struggled against some pretty weak teams during that stretch and also swept DU. I saw DU played the Sioux and it was not the same looking team. I'm predicting a sweep for North Dakota this weekend. Go Sioux! Quote
Snake Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Roe's tweet was from a year ago, so it's not like he hasn't moved on. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 Roe's tweet was from a year ago, so it's not like he hasn't moved on. Oh ha well that makes sense then. Thanks Quote

Time to move on dude. Brad ask Mitch a question about the tweet at media day, and I dusted it off. And decided to post the quote on my blog. It was neat to get the other side of the comment. Quote
Wilbur Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I would be happy to see the same UND team from OT Saturday night make their way out for the first period of Friday night. Nothing like watching a UND team come out flying and just pound on a team and get pucks to the net. I'll agree with a previous post. I think this team is capable of beating anyone and going on a nice winning streak with 4 in a row at the Ralph. Quote
