fightingsiouxfan57 Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 5-0 at the end of the 2nd 5-0 final Shots 42-17 Quote
HockeyMom Posted October 15, 2006 Author Posted October 15, 2006 Sounds like the women had a tough day. Hopefully they can dust themselves off and get ready for Mankato. Quote
redwing77 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I didn't have much expectations for the team against UMD, but I was hoping that we'd at least score a goal per game! UMD made us look like the men's AIC team Quote

UMD made us look like the men's AIC team If the UND MEN'S hockey team faced an opponent who had the Olympic silver-medalist goaltender - as the backup goalie! - they would have trouble scoring too. I do hope to see this year's Sioux women be competitive vs teams like Mankato. Quote
dakotadan Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Minnesota State at the Ralph this saturday and sunday. Can the Sioux get some WCHA points out of this weekend? Quote

I do hope to see this year's Sioux women be competitive vs teams like Mankato. You would be right if we hadn't been embarrassingly out shot by all the real teams we have played. I would say our goal tending was the only thing kicking some butt! Quote
Pony1976 Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 UMD has Euro Olympic / National team players up front too. Older & considerably more experienced than UND's extremely young roster. A long time philosophy and approach of a Miller coached team. Quote
HockeyMom Posted October 18, 2006 Author Posted October 18, 2006 UMD is a women's hockey dynasty. They won the first three NCAA Championships in 2001, 2002, and 2003. That helps tremendously when you are recruiting the best players in the US and Canada to come to your school. That being said, your Fighting Sioux beat them in the final meeting between the two school last year. Now let's move onto the Mankato game........ Go Sioux! Quote
Pony1976 Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 Watched the Mavericks last weekend. This is the quickest MSU team that has ever taken the ice. Also a very solid tender in Kehler. Going to be a real challenge for the Sioux. A minor point, I am familiar with the UMD program and history. Enough to say that historically, they don't really concentrate their recruiting efforts on the top US talent. Quote

I agree, Mankato will be a tough test, as they got some high level recruits from Minnesota to blend with their upper-classmen. How about the fighting sioux Freshman class though? Best class to come in yet. Anybody know of any top-level early comittments for 07-08? Quote

Rivard was out of town all week before those games. the assistants ran all the practices that whole week the girls wanted to win for them. it was awesome We just can't get the big players because of rivard I guess she ran some Lake Placid camp and I guess the bigest joke there was her practices and coaching. big suprise there Quote

Cloud is having some problems getting off but the new coaching should be a boost. Bemidji has shown a good turn around so far with their new coach. MSU is our shot this year to get some league wins!

Merely my opinion, but I wouldn't count on any easy wins in the WCHA this season. If MSU stays healthy, they will battle SCSU and OSU for 4th in the WCHA I think. The Mavericks are easily talented enough to do so. BSU won't be a pushover for anyone either. You're correct about the new coach being a factor in that...great coach. Quote

You're correct about the new coach being a factor in that...great coach. Comparing the 2 losses by both teams to UMD Minnesota was outshot 80-53 and Kehler gave up 9 goals. They were able to score twice on UMD. UND was outshot 72-35 and Kirkham gave up 9 as well. Obviously MSU was able to generate more offense than UND against a speedy Duluth team. Against UMD the Sioux had trouble getting the puck out of their end while enoying power play's I agree Kehler is a fine goalie who has faced top competition her 1st few games out. I am thinking that MSU will have a slight edge offensively and would expect that it will come down to # of penalties and goaltending. I do think the games will be close. I would be suprised if they are high scoring. Quote

HockeyMom Posted October 20, 2006 Author Posted October 20, 2006 Nice to see a postive article on the Sioux. Hopefully they can get things going this weekend! Quote
GREENEY Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 http://wcha.cstv.com/sports/w-hockey/spec-rel/101906aaa.html I HAVE NEVER READ A BIGGER LOAD OF CRAP IN MY LIFE!!!! Quote
Pony1976 Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 I HAVE NEVER READ A BIGGER LOAD OF CRAP IN MY LIFE!!!! ...or you could just post specifically what it is you disagree with. Quote
HockeyMom Posted October 21, 2006 Author Posted October 21, 2006 Ouch! Are you referring to the 7-0 loss that the Sioux suffered this afternoon at the hands of Mankato? Quote
Pony1976 Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Are you referring to the 7-0 loss that the Sioux suffered this afternoon at the hands of Mankato? Yes. I certainly did not expect that. I haven't looked at stats like SOG. Kehler can do this. I've seen her withstand 50 shot salvos including many quality chances in the past. Can't really believe the margin tho. A guess would be we don't see anything like that tomorrow. Quote
