A sweep would be great for Pairwise ranking.  Let's go Sioux!

A sweep would also put us in the driver's seat for the Penrose Cup.

We're already the driver's seat with two games in hand. A sweep puts us in the express lane ... Anymore cliches?!

So you're saying we control our own destiny.

With as tough as this league is week in and week out, I won't feel comfortable unless we do sweep this weekend. St. Cloud won't lose too many games down the stretch, so we have to keep up.

As long as we play one game at a time, get traffic in front of the net, and play a full 60 minutes.

I completely agree. I'm saying right now, before the series, we are in the driver's seat. I think it'll be tough to sweep DU, this weekend. Particularly after the whooping we gave them in GF.

That being said, I think the boys will be very, very pumped up since we seem like we're getting two Hobey Baker candidates back in our lineup.

GOD, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THAT LINE BACK TOGETHER!

Don't forget we need to get pucks to the net.

And battle with a high compete level and be hard to play against and willing to go to the hard places.

Catbird seat?

The question is can we buck "the Schlossman curse".  We had the article on the poor state of Wisconsin hockey then they beat us, the article on Cam Johnson and he became human the game following it, and now we had an article on UND the Road Warriors ...       Figure if we can win on Friday, we are good to go.

Brad writes several articles every week. 3 questionable examples != a rule.

I like that both teams had last week off. So neither team will be the presumed "rusty" vs "firing at game speed". I wonder how much of the sweep at the Ralph will play into this series. Denver's a hard team to read at this point.

Maybe score a couple greasy ones.

We have to give 110%.  We need to impose our will on the opponent and force them to play our game.

[WiSioux]

I will be there Friday... And this will be my last series in Denver when I won't be a resident!!!

[GoalieMask]

Easily my favorite rivalry series of the year.  It seems a great many of our seasons have been made/broken on these winter trips out to Denver.  I was there last December and it was a terrific time - I'd highly recommend if you are ever looking for a road trip series as the Colorado-based NoDak fans are terrific.  There are plenty of bars around campus that make for good times before/after the games.  Then again, downtown on 16th Street is also a blast but it is quite a few miles from campus.

I hope to catch these games where I can as I'll be traveling this weekend away from home.  With Friday night's game on CBSSN and Saturday's on ROOT Sports, neither game is available for viewing via NCHC.tv

As a DirecTV customer, I am happy about his week's games being on TV.

Thus the wink!  Same can be said of Sports Illustrated, and does anybody really believe in a curse?

What are the chances MidcoSports picks up Saturday night's game?

I'm pretty sure they did not pick it up last year, so I wouldn't hold my breath this year.

I've never ordered the NCHC.tv online before, but am considering it for the last part of the season (they're running a special).
Is it worth it?  Decent streaming quality?  I'm getting sick of only seeing one game every 3rd series.

Also, is it possible to start watching the games at the beginning after they've already started?  I get home from work later on Friday's and it would be great to start the game in the first period...usually the 3rd period is already starting by the time I get home.

Thank you for your help in advance! 

[4evrSIOUX]

Can you get root tv online to see Saturday's game?

[Siouxman]

Will be at the games.  Every year we alternate, going to CC or Denver.  This is the Denver year.
