Or The Big Steer

Definitely a little bit sloppy in all phases but got the job done. Need to get the PP clicking. With the talent we have it should be a strength of this team and this weekend it wasn’t connected at all.

What percentage of Highway Host (or Big Steer) patrons at any time between 1:30 and 3:00 a.m. on a hockey night we’re shytfaced?

And it spooks me now to think someone was usually driving.

Big Sioux on Highway 2?  Anyone?

[bcblues]

Big Sioux for breakfast after an all nighter.

Bronze Boot for the steak!

Glad to see that they played around with Wiebe on the 2nd PP unit, as Jamernik fumbled some pucks, and they already have good net front presence with Johannes.  Like giving Wiebe, Livanavage, McLaughlin, Perron and Johannes a look.  If things don’t click, I can see Kunz given a chance as well.

Big Sioux was not on hiw at 2 dumby

[Oxbow6]

Was very impressed with Berg.

The Wild scout at this game had to be shaking their head about Stramel being a 1st round pick. Couldn't bury the best chance of the game and ran his own goalie out of sheer absent mindedness.

Awesome weekend for the Sioux all around.....now let's kick some gopher a$$!!!!

As good as the weekend was I think we really need to address the sad state of affairs that is today's young college students.

Not 1 damn dead Badger on the ice...

Probably some dead badger GIFS went out on their phones.

It's a more environmentally sound methodology for today's youth...also cleaner...and easier to sneak past security.

New REA security is about 1000% better than Old REA security. #goshImissthatplace

Don’t blame the band. They had a short turn around time to pack up the truck and get over to the Ralph.

The original was at 2 and 29. The new one was at 29 and 32nd Ave.

I couldn't watch, but I'm curious on people's opinions.  If say three or four of those posts went in, how does the defense and goaltending feel?  Does the defense look like it has a chance to be better than last year? Thanks.

Love that he plays angry.  Will likely take an over aggressive penalty or two, but having him between 17 and 18 is huge as a puck grabbing center defensively.

Time will tell if he or Ludvig is the portal grab of the year for UND.  (You too #20....you too).

A very fair question.   We tend to be very outcome-centric in our evaluation.

I heard Wisconsin hit three or four posts last night. Hard to say how the rest of the game would’ve transpired had a couple or all of them had gone in. I’m sure Berry’s game plan would’ve adjusted accordingly. 

[Oldguy]

This game was far different from the Army game, as Wisconsin is a fast, north playing team with lines that play well together.  Persson was lucky, but he also was in great position all game, making players shoot over him and perhaps "causing" some of the pipes.  

This team seems night-and-day compared to UND last year at this time, IMO.  Just a more focused, grittier team with better skill as well.  Johannes has been the best surprise of the newcomers, although Perron might give him a run by the end.

As JPL said about opponents hitting the pipe “that’s all I gave em”
