UND @ Western Michigan -- Friday

[SiouxFan100]

I love the optimism. 

What gives?

I am hopeful about tonight. Win this one and then worry about tomorrow.

[burd]

It will be interesting to see if the boys will stay with this team both nights.

To be fair, our third line is our best line.

True.  Weatherby needs to do something tonight.  He has a point we win.

Yup. I don’t know who was on Penticton’s second line, but their second line was probably better than any line we currently have.

Sad. 

[runaroundsioux]

I would be more optimistic about tonight, but, it's on CBS sports. The kiss of death.

[The Sicatoka]

So they pulled Weatherby from center to a wing? Interesting. Let's see if that kick-starts him. 

[The Sicatoka]

When the season started I was quite sure that 19 and 21 would be "GQ"* most of the season.
Instead, one's invaluable as a reliable centerman and the other is skating top six tonight. 

 

*GQ -- modeling suits from the press box

[The Sicatoka]

So the scratches are 1, 9, 16, 20, 25, 35. 

The known unhealthy are 1, 16, 25. 

What's 9's status? Is he dinged up again? If so, we only have one healthy skater not dressed (20).

Did Bowen get an additional game for having his 3rd big penalty thing a ma jobbie?

You and your fancy high-fa-lootin' technical talk.  

But now that you say it he did take a game misconduct last game.
He for the season has 13 penalties for 56 minutes. 
Do the math (fancy cypherin', ought and ought is ought, carry the naugh ...) ...
13 x 2 = 26.
56 -26 = 30
30 is ... THREE ... game misconducts. 
Three game misconducts = one game suspension. 
Thus Bowen sits tonight. 

And there's the answer. 

[90siouxfan]

Hey now, lets not get caught up in words...  or we could both end up on double secret probation...

[The Sicatoka]

I assure you it's all good as I've paid to properly insure us with full grammar coverage and its benefits to thus ensure us no future difficulties.

The rest of the readers? They're on their own, on the loose, over there; they lose.

I don't condone cheap hockey, but if Allison plays maybe a nice, clean thigh on thigh hit early in the first could give us the edge.

We don't take advice from your kind there Mr. Jimmy Schuldt.

Fair point.  Sarcasm toward Ref's intended.  I'll take the foil off.

Western Michigan ranked higher than UND is all you need to know about how this season has gone. 

[sioux rube]

Dang that was quick
