AZSIOUX Posted March 25, 2005 Author Posted March 25, 2005 1. Get on the board 1st. Take this Boston crowd out of it. 2. Be very physical all over the ice and use the size we have. 3. Jordan stay in the net. 4. Try to avoid bad penalties. 5. Will we have BC fans cherring for us? GO SIOUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
The Sicatoka Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 8. Play smart. 9. Have fun. 10. Skate! Skate! Ska-a-a-ate! Quote
redwing77 Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 11. Don't be afraid to shoot. 12. Crash the net, look for rebounds. 13. Don't overload any corner of the offensive zone. 14. Collapse in on the goaltender on the penalty kill 15. Play like it's one and done time and BU is wearing the commemorative SCSU sweaters. 16. Keep it simple. A cute goal and an ugly goal are both worth the same amount of points. Quote
SiouxScore! Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 11. Grind em' up in the corners, bring it out front and slam it home! 12. A couple of nice "He just gave em a little how's she goin' " would be great! Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 BU is a team that has to rely heavily on its small but talented freshman. If the Sioux play like they have the past several weeks they will have no problem regardless of who is or isn't in the lineup today. Go Sioux. Quote
SiouxFanInBoston Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 5. Will we have BC fans cherring for us? Â Â Â Â Â GO SIOUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I doubt if many BC fans will even be at the game. They're all talking about Saturday night already -- not sure if they'll even show up for their own game! Me? Can't wait! Got tickets! Heading to the games in a few hours! Go Sioux!! Quote
DAR Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Man, I am pumped....wish I could be there and can't wait until the work day is over....Let's Go Sioux.....Let's Go Sioux......Let's Go Sioux.......I think we are going to come out flying, hopefully the kids from Beantown won't know what hit em' Quote

crosby_87 Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Great stats Dagies, very good insight. But as for me the only stat i care about tonight is the two big numbers on the scoreboard. Let's hope tonight its BU-0 UND-4. That would be great. And those goals would come from zajac, spirko, massen, spirko. I'm looking for the Zajac, stafford, spirko line to play phenomenal tonight.

bigmrg74 Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 20. Put the puck into the net. 21. Keep your stick on the ice. Quote
dagies Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Last 11 games: Who's Hot? FIGHTING SIOUX: Spirko = 6-5-11 Fuher = 4-6-10 Genoway = 6-3-9 McMahon = 3-6-9 Zajac = 3-6-9 Fabian = 3-4-7 Murray = 2-5-7* *Not playing this weekend The big goal scorers are Spirko and Genoway with 6 over the last 11 games. Fuher with 4, and Fabian, Zajac and McMahon with 3. No one else has more than 2. The set-up guys are McMahon, Bina, Murray, Spirko, Fuher, Zajac, Fabian, Massen, Stafford with 4 or more assists. Sioux will be without Murray and Bina this weekend, and very possibly Prpich. If Prpich is out, the Sioux will be missing 4-10-14 points from the last 11 games. TERRIERS: McConnell = 4-3-7 Bourque = 4-3-7 Van Der Gulik = 4-3-7 Ewing = 2-4-6 MacArther = 2-4-6 Miller = 1-4-5 Not aware who will be out of the Terrier lineup this weekend. The big goal scorers are McConnell, Bourque, and Van der Gulik. No one else has more than 2 goals in the last 11 games. The set-up guys are Miller, MacArther, and Ewing each with 4 assists. Sioux have 12 players with 2 or more goals over the last 11 games. Terriers have 6 players with 2 or more goals over the last 11 games. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted March 25, 2005 Author Posted March 25, 2005 UND 4 BU 2 spirko, zajac, jones, fuher. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted March 25, 2005 Author Posted March 25, 2005 i am not overlooking BU as well as many others on this board. just posting facts and numbers.... Quote

Sioux have 12 players with 2 or more goals over the last 11 games. Terriers have 6 players with 2 or more goals over the last 11 games. Looks like both teams put up the same number of shots and give up about the same. The Sioux have a slight advantage in PP efficiency and in PK. Parise has better overall numbers but Curry can have outstanding games (3 shutouts in 11 games) so is capable of blanking teams. Looking at the how many guys on each team are scoring threats, and looking at scoring efficiency, I'd say the Sioux have the advantage offensively. KEY TO TONITE'S GAME What Farce Poobah said: Stay out of the box. Quote
NDFAN Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 I agree with the "Stay out of the box" concept - for both sides - that way, we can roll to the Grinder Line, who has been playing well, and could be the key to winning this game. Quote
#1siouxfan22 Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Dont know if anyone has posted this yet. There is some talk on the sioux in it. The one so-called expert thinks BC will get by UND easily in the 2nd round. http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatESPN?event_id=7628 Quote
