HockeyMom Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 This is going to be a long two weeks...... Is it game time yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lives-to-play-hockey-06 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. Mankato has some firepower (Morin who is in my opinion the best player in WCHA and maybe the NCAA). Their goaltending has also improved. Sioux should sweep though with how well they are playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01grad Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Way too long to wait. Who does Mankato play this weekend? At least we can scout for the team and provide the info. here for them to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxjoy Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Also keep in mind that Mankato has a different goalie than last time we played against them... So do we. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCM Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 So do we. In my best Mr. Burns voice: Excelllent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Mankato always seems to play very hard, and hard working teams give themselves a chance. Still, I expect the Sioux to take 2 tough fought games. Hopefully the Sioux won't lose what they've learned the last few weeks with the week off. This is my Grand Forks weekend, so I'm looking forward to good performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewey Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I would not expect 4 points from Mankato, especially given that they always play the Sioux tough. I have Mankato season tickets and they are always inconsistent except, in most cases, when they play the Sioux. Then, they are consistently pretty tough. Travis Morin is one of the top 3 players in the WCHA, in my opinion. Zacharias is a good goalie. As I am from Western ND, I have an ND bias but I like Mankato too and it is always tough. I hope ND makes a strong push but they will need to be on their "A" game to sweep Mankato, especially since Jutting's job status is very precarious. Jutting is a pretty good coach and he is really a pretty nice guy too, despite his recent antics, but I do see Blais coming here next year. All of the stars are aligned properly. Jutting is at the end of his contract, Blais wants to come back to college hockey, MSUM would be a good challenge for him as it is a fairly nascent program in need of some sound recruiting to establish a more solid foot hold in the league.

jk Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Mankato has some firepower (Morin who is in my opinion the best player in WCHA and maybe the NCAA). IMO every game a healthy Jonny T. plays down the stretch will reveal more and more clearly that he is the best player in the country. At age 18. Whether he carries the puck in 1-on-2 or 1-on-3, he makes shifty little moves to avoid the defense and get the puck safely in the zone. When he comes in 2-on-1 (Bina) or 2-on-2 (Oshie), look out.

ScottM 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... I predict Jutting will whine and cry from the bench like a five year old, and probably draw a penalty thus inspiring his team to be even more thuggish.

PCM Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I'm glad that the Sioux are playing MSU-Mankato coming off the big sweep of Minnesota and an off week. There should be plenty of players who remember that the Mavs were a game away from ending UND's season last year and how hard they had to work to prevent that from happening. They shouldn't have a problem getting fired up for this series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking, maybe during one of your pre series interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZSIOUX Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 will there be a coaches show this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01grad Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I wonder if the Mankato/Tech games will be on their website tv this weekend? I think they are only the home games, but we may have to check into it for something to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01grad Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I noticed on their website that it is on charter cable channel 14. Hopefully this is the channel that we get around the twin cities that sometimes has the St. Cloud and Mankato games on to lure in students and fans.

luapsided Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Who to root for next weekend...CC or SCSU? hmmmm.. Denver will lose too! That would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Who to root for next weekend...CC or SCSU? hmmmm.. Denver will lose too! That would be nice SCSU, C.C. has played two more games than the Sioux and they are 6 games out. If they get sweep and the Sioux sweep we have 2 points to make up with two games in hand. I don't think UND has a chance to catch SCSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggler Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 That's what you get for picking on old people. Nah, they don't care about that. It's when I pick on short people that they get upset. Evidently short people can pick on me without getting a warning though. At least here everyone who is involved in things gets warned. Speaking of that, it's amazing how I've never even gotten warned here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 That's because SiouxSports.com is all about tolerance and diversity. I agree with that statement, on other sites they will pull the plug for one stupid comment. Warning will be issued and any further violations will result in a termination of that person's posting rights. Many of us would be gone already, a long time ago.
