southpaw Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 i hope so, and i have confidence they will... but this year it's like all but holy cross could win a game. that's pretty scary. Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted March 19, 2006 Author Posted March 19, 2006 This was more like how do we get one of our poor little Hockey East teams into the Final Four. IF they play like they did this weekend the Sioux will light up the Michigan goaltending like a Christmas tree. Go Sioux. Providing Drew plays, and picks up where he left off (him and Toews), we could be a pretty scary team. Freshman are playing like upperclassman, JPar's on his game, I'm liking things! After Holy Cross beats Minny on Friday, Sioux will rock Michigan's world!! Quote
SiouxMeNow Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 What!!! Not only do I have to wait for Friday, but now I have to wait until 8:30 Friday night!!! Yeah the times are weird but did you see the TV schedule? UND game LIVE on ESPNU -- Minnesota TAPE DELAYED until MIDNIGHT Quote
7>4 Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 he's saying the sioux will win the national championship if they keep their penalties down sioux play at 8:30 central friday night. Penalties are the key. Both Michigan and Minnesota have excellent power plays. The Sioux need to stay out of the box. I hope we get some refs that will let them play. Can't wait until next weekend. GO SIOUX!!!!!!!!! Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted March 19, 2006 Author Posted March 19, 2006 Yeah the times are weird but did you see the TV schedule? UND game LIVE on ESPNU -- Minnesota TAPE DELAYED until MIDNIGHT Funny yet it still blows. I'm on Spring Break this week, so I was looking to see more hockey! However, to see Holy Cross blow out Minnesota, may be worth staying up late. Quote
sprig Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 East stays east and west stays west, for the most part. And the BC/BU final out east will get its test from the CCHA this year. Chances are a bit better the east will get that game. Quote
7>4 Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 BSU is a way tougher #4 draw than Holy Cross, maybe UM knew what they were doing when they laid down yesterday. They will give WI a run for their money. Can't believe they put CC in WI bracket. Talk here in CS was that CC would be going out East. I guess the only way to make sure that only 2 WCHA teams arrive in Milwaukee. Quote

Siouxman Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 I don't know that I like being tabbed as the favorite, but I guess it is better than being tabbed as not having any grit. Holy Cross will have a huge cheering section on Friday night. Quote

I guess I learned a lesson, never post material ya think might be wrong, sorry to anyone wanting to tell me i'm wrong. http://www.uscho.com/pdf/general/2006bracket.pdf Quote
Air Force One Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Northeast Regional BC vs Miami Nebraska Omaha vs BU Another Beanpot Tourney like we won last year. Who is up to the task, Miami or Nebraska? Quote

Look at the NCAA bracket linked from this site's hockey page, it's the most official. Quote

southpaw Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 i like how the sioux game is the night game... yet bu is a host out east and they are stuck in the early game. Quote
sprig Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 i like how the sioux game is the night game... yet bu is a host out east and they are stuck in the early game. I believe it is set up so that the 1 seeds play early, and potentially (if they win) get the couple hours extra rest before the next day's championship tilt. It does get confusing with the Gopher final five rule, but no such rule exists for "hosts" in the regionals. Quote
termie Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Panzer was Robbed. Why would you bring in a guy with limited NCAA tournement success for the NCAA tournement show? At least they didn't make the show all about Brian Gionta like they did in 2000. Quote

IF they play like they did this weekend the Sioux will light up the Michigan goaltending like a Christmas tree. Go Sioux. Do you imagine that's because they want to increase TV ratings or is it because the Hockey lEast guys were whining too much. Or more likely some combination of the two. Quote
mksioux Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 I don't know. I'd say the day game, but that may not be the case here. MN-Holy Cross play at 5:30; UND and Mich play at 8:30. Quote
Goon Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Need to have a team meeting today to show the 1998 game in Ann Arbor for a beginning of the week motivator...like this team needs any motivation! That should be enough to ge the boys fired up. The Revenge tour begins again. Then we can get back at Minnesota for the two wins they had the Ralph. Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 Need to have a team meeting today to show the 1998 game in Ann Arbor for a beginning of the week motivator...like this team needs any motivation! If Dave Hakstol wants "MafiaMan, Motivational Speaker" to show up and give a pre-game pep talk, I'll be glad to oblige. I was one of about 5 Sioux fans who personally witnessed the 1998 game with the Wolverines in Yost. Quote
neoflex Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 The NCAA is just a friggin joke! No way can we have the best teams represented in the Frozen Four again, and heaven forbid that it could be an all WCHA representation. They made damn sure that such an atrocity could not, should not, and would not happen again. Friggin A-holes With that said, congrats to the Fighting Sioux. They played very well this weekend and have really come together the second half of the year. I also tip my hat to St. Cloud who in my opinion had probably played some of the best hockey coming into the tourney. They were really impressive this last weekend, and definately would have had a better showing against the Sioux if they were a bit more rested. But then again, it was the Fighting Sioux who played 3 games in the WCHA last year to beat MN in the 3rd place game. But nonetheless I wish they too could have made it to the playoffs. Good luck Sioux, and kick the damn wolverines in the arse all the way back home. Quote

They made damn sure that such an atrocity could not, should not, and would not happen again. Friggin A-holes I believe I posted here quite some time ago that the NCAA would do everyting possible to ensure that an all-WCHA tournament didn't happen again. It's a TV ratings disaster on the east coast without a Maine, Boston U, Boston College, or UNH in the tournament. This isn't exactly unexpected. Quote
YaneA Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 Is Holy Cross' goalie Tony Quesada the same goalie who tossed his quesadillas in the regional game against the Sioux a couple of years ago? I swear at the Final 5, every time the Keebler giveaway was announced with the line "we're about to toss our cookies," I flashed back on that sight. Quote

I swear at the Final 5, every time the Keebler giveaway was announced with the line "we're about to toss our cookies," I flashed back on that sight. That would be the same guy! I still remember that clearly. Must have been due to nerves, because in reality, he did turn around and play a pretty good game. His team just didn't have any offense to support his effort. Quote

Good luck Sioux, and kick the damn wolverines in the arse all the way back home. Fortunately for the NCAA, the PWR ratings, along with only 4 WCHA teams rather than 5 being in, fell right so that the pairings allow only 2 WCHA teams to have a chance at Milwaukee. East teams are staying east also (except Cornell, guess they like to hear Schaeffer bitch), and only the CCHA is scattered east and west. Quote
