01grad Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Here it is!!! We are a much different team now than when we played Mankato in the back and forth goal scoring frenzy earlier this season. I hope we can continue this fire into this series though it is a ways away! Sioux sweep!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01grad Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I really like our schedule the rest of the way. We should be able to do well against Mankato and Duluth and then we have tough opponents in Denver and St. Cloud to help us get ready for the postseason. It is just amazing how we start to pick up steam in the second half of the season, almost as if we are toying with the competition in the first half.

Diggler Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 If UND can manage to not give up three goal leads, they should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Any thing than three points for the Sioux is unacceptable and would hurt them in the polls. I believe that the Sioux have to sweep the next 4 games and get 4-5 points against DU and SCSU. I think they can sweep DU in Denver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luapsided Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 The obvious key is to score more than 4 goals in a game. We are what...11-0 now when scoring more than 4 goals. If lammy plays tight and we keep playing physical, we can't lose. Now that the whole team knows what they are capable of and having swept the goofs, they know they can be number one at the end. GO SIOUX! I hate going a week without hockey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommiejo Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Anything is possible now with the way we are playing. Hey 01grad I agree with both you & Goon on this one anything is possible. If you asks me I think we should take these series one series at at time & try not to look ahead right off the bat. 2006 NATIONAL CHAMPS IN BOTH BASKETBALL & FOOTBALL UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GATORS. SIOUX FAN SINCE 1973. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiSioux Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Also keep in mind that Mankato has a different goalie than last time we played against them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwing77 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I don't know about you, but I'd rather have the week off either after MSUM or between the DU and SCSU tilts. We're playing so well right now that I get worried about what week off might do to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01grad Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 It does always seem that Mankato always plays us really tough in G.F. as well. Whenever we are matched up against them in playoffs at the end of the season, it almost always takes 3 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwing77 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Like Minnesota and their penchent for running goaltenders, this next matchup we have to focus on just staying healthy. MSUM can steal a few points here and there (just ask UW) and plays a style of hockey that really doesn't bode well for players, especially players who are playing injured already.

We're playing so well right now that I get worried about what week off might do to us. Between DU and SCSU would be an ideal break week. I think we will be fine though because they have so much confidence in themselves now, which both U of M goalies don't have. I think St. Cloud will catch the gophers because they seem really consistent. I hope our series at the end of the year has some implications, but I don't want us to beat St. Cloud to help the gophers, which is why we need to sweep up until then so we can have a shot. We just need to hope that the Colorado teams lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01grad Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I guess it would be tough for us to finish in first after I just did the what if calculator, but it would be nice to knock off some of these other teams. We need to finish higher than 4th to hope we can play some of the bottom teams in the conference for the first round and to help our power rankings.

We need to finish higher than 4th to hope we can play some of the bottom teams in the conference for the first round and to help our power rankings. An even more important part of getting into the top three is being guaranteed of avoiding the play-in game at the F5, assuming we win the first round series. DU can attest to that not being a given.

The Whistler Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 The obvious key is to score more than 4 goals in a game. We are what...11-0 now when scoring more than 4 goals. If lammy plays tight and we keep playing physical, we can't lose. OK, it's a plan. When we faced St Cloud in GF we were the better team. They've obviously improved since then, but since Xmas so have we. We won the Friday night game and tied the Saturday night game although some of us thought Chris Porter could have had a penalty shot with 1 second left.

We're playing so well right now that I get worried about what week off might do to us. That break would be awfully late, but I get what you are saying. This break might actually be good as we would normally be worried about an emotional hangover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggler Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'm kinda glad they have the break. And extra week to calm down after a huge sweep. They'll be ready to play by the time Mankato comes to town and there won't be any hangover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fighting Sioux Fan Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I predict a good amount of dirty play by Mankato to counter the team speed and talent of UND. I also predict that there will be a big fight and a game misconduct. But this being Mankato, is easy to predict... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxnami Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 If the Sioux play like they did the last 5+ periods this weekend, there is not a team in the nation that can touch them. However that is a big if. Also I expect a little let-down / rust in 2 weeks. I think MSU wins Friday, and the Sioux win Saturday. Hope I am wrong.

Siouxdonyms Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I don't know about you, but I'd rather have the week off either after MSUM or between the DU and SCSU tilts. We're playing so well right now that I get worried about what week off might do to us. I wouldn't mind having the break one week later, but wouldn't want it between DU and SCSU. That may do us more harm than good by taking us out of synch if we're flying at that time. I think that was one our biggest problems last year between Michigan and BC. IMO, the game against Michigan was the best game we played all year, and we didn't play much worse the next night against Holy Cross. However, it didn't look like we were in synch at all in the first half of the BC game. JPar didn't seem to be seeing the puck as well as he had been, and the passes weren't connecting like they were in the Quarterfinal Round. Didn't like that break than, and I won't like it this year if it happens. This break comes at a nice time, to give the boys one last rest before cranking it up for the final stretch.

They just need to go into every game with the mindset that they're playing the Goofers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01grad Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Just play every game like it is the championship against the gophers and give it your best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
