SiouxMeNow Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 TIME CHANGE! FSN just announced the Championship game will be played at 2:30 so the Goofs can get primetime for #rd Place (just kidding! ) Quote
miles1416 Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 No team has ever won the Final Five after playing the play-in game. Let's not make it start tomorrow Sioux! Facing a team with dead legs, take it to them early and often! Michigan Tech did it in 1996. As far as i know that was the only time Quote
GBpakrzz Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Michigan Tech did it in 1996. As far as i know that was the only time Hmmm.... I thought I heard it's never been done too. Quote
SiouxMeNow Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Michigan Tech did it in 1996. As far as i know that was the only time Sure about that Miles? I think Siouxdonyms is right...no play-in team has ever won it in the Final 5 format Quote

I LOVE IT....................... I'd tell him..."well...if a team that has only been averaging 2.4 goals a game hangs 8 on you?? Aren't you a little worried about where your goalies head(s) are at tournament time?" Then I'd punch him in the face, steal his wallet and run....(but that's just me! ) Okay - now I'm really out! Later guys! Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 St. Cloud moves to #15 in the PWR, so it looks like they still need the win tomorrow to make the tournament. Sioux are at #8 right now. Get the win to assure the #2 seed boys! Quote
7>4 Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Looks like that game insured that Gophers will be at The Ralph next weekend. Quote
miles1416 Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Sure about that Miles? I think Siouxdonyms is right...no play-in team has ever won it in the Final 5 format OK I'm retarded please shoot me for thinking MTU could pull anything that big off. But they did make it the the championship game in '96 after winning the play-in game. Quote
Siouxman Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 OK I'm retarded please shoot me for thinking MTU could pull anything that big off. But they did make it the the championship game in '96 after winning the play-in game. MTU had been the only team to make it from the play-in game to the championship prior to tonight. SCSU is now the second team. MTU did not win, so no play-in game team has won the championship. Quote
yepdude Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Can somone give me the Denver Pioneers fans web site Quote
Runninwiththedogs Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 At first, I wanted the Gophers to win, since I wanted to see a good old fashioned a$$ whooping tomorrow night by the Sioux (revenge for 2 years ago!), but once St. Cloud went ahead 6-3, I wanted St. Cloud to win. I would not be able to stand the arrogance. GO SIOUX TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
AZSIOUX Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 nothing like seeing college hockey as the top play on sportcenter tonight!! oh yeah, it was even sweeter that it was the gophs getting beat and yes, that was a soft ass goal by blarney's barman himself Quote

Diggler Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 The Denver Pioneers do not have fans. Sorry. What did Paukovich do to them? Quote
Supertrex Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 I DVR'd the game and just finished watching...Ryan P is good, but how the heck do you leave him that alone in the slot four times in a row. I know it was on a man advantage, but leave someone else...and what a weak goal to win... Quote
buckysieve Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 I DVR'd the game and just finished watching...Ryan P is good, but how the heck do you leave him that alone in the slot four times in a row. I know it was on a man advantage, but leave someone else...and what a weak goal to win... Yeah, that last goal was as bad as it gets for a goalie. Since I'm a gopher fan I will force myself to look at the bright side which is that we played as bad as we are capable of playing on defense and goaltending and we were still able to go to overtime against a great defensive team who has one of the best goalies in the country. Briggs had an off night, it happens. Is there any question at all who should win the Hobey any more? I'm looking forward to going to Grand Forks next weekend for the regional. Good luck Sioux against the Huskies. Your'e both evil, I have no one to cheer for. Quote
Sioux-cia Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 What did Paukovich do to them? Drive by.... Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 This game merely confirmed a few things we knew and a few things we suspected about the Goofs, first and foremost it confirms our suspicion that they peaked too early which is good for everyone else. Additionally it showed that many of their forwards can't play both sides of the puck. Finally, we already knew that Briggs was a sieve and we were pretty sure that Frazzled wasn't going to be the answer so maybe Lucy was able to provide Kangass a guarantee that he has a shot a being their number one next season. As for the Hobey, the pretty goals are typically a factor only if your team is winning, ie Lessard a couple back. This is a weak group this year so perfect opportunity for a D-man (Carle with all of his Phantom assists ) to emerge the victor. Denver would have been a bottom feeder without him. Quote
NorthDakotaHockey Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 I think that, among other things, Motzko reached deep into the old bag of knowledge on Don's tendencies and schemes, and really threw the Gophers off of their game early. St. Cloud was the hungrier team. I really wanted to see the Sioux drill the Gophers twice over the next eight days, but I guess I will have to settle for a single drilling. Both games today should be wildly entertaining. Quote
