Tonights Game vs. Wisc

[I Ranger]

I know that Wisc. dropped to a tie for 15th in the Pairwise after last nights game but as much as I hate them I think they are deserving and it would be tough for them not to get in the NCAA's. I thought Wisc. played extremely well tonight and I believe they could compete with anyone in the country. Anyways the Sioux are in and the Badgers have to wait it out. Give some Pio arse. Lets go Sioux.

According to the USCHO PWR Wisconsin is in a world of hurt after last night.

T15 is not the place to be in the PWR when teams outside of the top 16 (like CHA champion Bemidji State, and the AHA champion) are going to get automatic births in the NCAA tournament field.

You forgot this came from a Goopher fan - they only talk about "offensive defensemen", which Denver has two of the best in the WCHA.

Considering the game I saw last night, Wisco has a bad D (4 frosh D in front of Bernd). Yah, their stats are good, but the way they have been playing lately is more indicative of a poorer D then the stats "say". Hence the "slide" that UW has been having. UND played good D last night, much more so than the BADgers....sorry, but that is what I saw as a totally unbiased hockey fan. Stats are one thing, but individual games are another. Take off the kelly colored glasses and you may actually see I may have a few points.

Me too! I was holding my breath waiting for Woog's pronounciation, but he wouldn't even try to say it.

I listened to Hennessy for most of the game. Did Frank really say "Minnesota," or was that a typo by you?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

He really said Minnesota.

Wow!

I thought it was my ol' friend "Jack" listening to that for me. Guess not.

Wisconsin's slide has been caused by its inability to score goals, not by lack of defense. You're entitled to your opinion, but I don't agree with it.

I started laughing when Mazzocco said that last night.

I also would have loved to hear him pronounce Spirko's name.

[Sioux_Hab-it]

I doubt that a player being a senior has much to do with it. Plus, there are only two seniors among the nine forwards seleted. Which one of them would you pull off and replace with Genoway?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I was thinking of Ellsworth in particular. He did nothing the first half of the season yet he gets picked as an AS

LOL. Thats how I see it too. UofW is not too good defensively.

[Goon]

Prpich is out?

And what's with Smaby being called Shmaby?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Mike injured it during the first period, it looked like it was hurting him because he was draging his shoulder and didn't come back out after the 1st period was over. Mike tried making a go of it but you could tell it hurt.

[Goon]

When do they drop the puck tomorrow?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

This has pretty much been discussed a lot but go over to the Minnesota Rule Thread and you will find out UND and DU play in the afternoon.

[The Sicatoka]

But remember: Coors is off limits for all of us today.

Puck drops at 2:37 pm in St. Paul.

If Wisconsin's D is so bad, what's that say about UND's offense?

Great! I don't drink Coors!

[pentaxman46]

Good jump in the first, I thought we rope 'a doped it a bit in the 2nd. My main area of concern still is the struggle we have in clearing our zone. Wisconsin had several stretches of prolonged time of possession in our end. That's about the only thing I agreed with Woug and Frank about.

Are you sure it wasn't Minnesota?

Coors and all their brands!!!

Now you're getting picky!

I vow to abstain from Coors products for the duration of today's DU-UND game. But if the Sioux win, I'm popping open a beer and drinking a toast to those "Irishmen" in the Rocky Mountains.
