Oxbow6 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 For team that can't transition well out of the D zone I play Thompson. OD IMO isn't a top 6 but Pattyn back on his line makes OD top 6 by default. Panz has to play after last night. 1 Quote
siouxweet Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 does miami have a slight advantage being und played three plus games this weekend? Quote
Walsh Hall Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 USCHO has us playing the early game. I'm quite upset as I would have been able to get there for the evening game, but not the afternoon. Quote

Snake Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 From NCHC website: http://www.nchchockey.com/news_article/show/363893?referrer_id=878553 With all four quarterfinal series complete, the NCHC Frozen Faceoff semifinals are set with Miami and North Dakota squaring off in the second semifinal at 7:38 p.m. CT and fifth-seeded Western Michigan facing sixth-seeded Denver in the first semifinal at 4:08 p.m. CT. Both games will be televised on CBS Sports Network. Quote
Walsh Hall Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Just checked the NCHC site and they show us playing the evening game. Quote
siouxforcefans Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Uh oh...we're in trouble if this was the regional in Grand Rapids at Van Andel...that's only a 45 minute drive from Kalamazoo. Guessing the reference was to when the Sioux took out WM in St. Paul two years ago. Quote

MafiaMan Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Guessing the reference was to when the Sioux took out WM in St. Paul two years ago. Forgot about that regional...I thought Western was in Grand Rapids somewhat recently too. Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Sioux fans, make this trip. The team needs us all! Brad S. says UND needs to win 1, but probably 2 games to make the NCAA tourney. We need to help them do it! Make plans now to drive down! (or across town if you live in the metro area) 2 Quote
SiouxTupa Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Forgot about that regional...I thought Western was in Grand Rapids somewhat recently too. Were they in Green Bay when the Sioux beat Denver to advance in 2011? Maybe that's the one. Quote
UNDColorado Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I like the lineup with Panz and Thompson. Panz added a spark last night and Thompson can break out of the zone by skating when an outlet pass is not available or too risky. Thompson is also plus 10 last time I checked. This is an underrated stat IMHO. Either way I can't wait until Friday! Quote
I Ranger Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Were they in Green Bay when the Sioux beat Denver to advance in 2011? Maybe that's the one. Yes they were and took Denver to OT to help wear them down for us the following day. Quote
siouxweet Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Were they in Green Bay when the Sioux beat Denver to advance in 2011? Maybe that's the one. I was referencing the one at the X in 2012. Quote
yelo09 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 How is the Target Center for Hockey? I would image it's pretty good viewing and sight lines all around? Quote

#MACtion Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 The NCHC Championship will be a CCHA Championship. Miami vs <---- Michigan. Quote
SiouxTupa Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 The NCHC Championship will be a CCHA Championship. Miami vs <---- Michigan. Could be...or it could be a WCHA Championship Quote
Oxbow6 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I'll state this again...Miami a few weeks ago was the worst defensive team I've seen come to the Ralph in years. 6-5 type game...especially if UND turns it over in the D zone like they did vs. CC. Quote
#MACtion Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Could be...or it could be a WCHA Championship LOL Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 There is a reason Miami is the worst team in the conference and one if the worst teams in the nation. Yes they got hot at the right time in St Cloud, but old habits are hard to get rid if. UND needs to exploit the mistakes that Miami has had all year long and take it to them. The crowd at at the Target Center is going to much different than the one in St Cloud. Those Husky fans were on their hands most if the weekend. Crowd is going to be very green in the Taeget Center. Virtually a home game for UND. If we get a couple early goals and get the crowd into it, gonna be tough for Miami to compete with that. Quote

SCSU has tailed off in the 2nd half too, and split the season series with Miami, so the results weren't so surprising to me. I like our chances against Miami as long as we don't have any huge turnovers in front of our net like this last weekend. Quote

If I got to choose if the boys could play Miami or CC this friday to move on, I would choose Miami. Quote

There were some key players that made it back and I believe goaltender was one of them. Don't overlook this team at all. Quote
