BC vs. The Fighting Sioux!

[PCM]

With all due respect, Lamoureux has totally outplayed Schneider. If not for him, the Sioux would be down by two or three goals.

The announcers were just saying the same thing. BC has had all the shots, but the score is staying the same so phil is doing something very right

2nd intermission...twenty minutes of Fighting Sioux hockey for the win!

LETS GO SIOUX!!!

Sioux are getting worked. It looks like BC has reassembled the speed kills Sioux of the late 90s. Sioux have to be smarter with the puck in the third. Don't love our chances, but I'll be hopeful.

I thought they said the Lamoureux had been just as good as Schneider. He's been better.

The saving grace is that I'm sure the Sioux can play better. If we do that, we can win this thing. If we keep playing as we are, I'm not confident.

[Goon]

The Sioux need to stay out of the box. Some of the calls by the ref have been brutal too.

But you know me I haven't seen many refs that I acctually think can ref as good as the NHL boys.

We have to stop the stupid neutral-zone turnovers! We had more turnovers than a bakery in the 2nd period!

The Eagles are going to generate a lot of chances on their own, we don't want to give them more odd-man rushes on top of those.

Lammy playing a fantastic game; as long as he doesn't get too emotional and lose focus, he'll be fine.

We MUST score on this upcoming Power Play and then play stingy defense (no more stupid turnovers) if we want to advance to Saturday night.

[PCM]

Duncan's been rather quiet. I'd like to see him start this period out with a power play goal.

"IT AIN'T EASY BEING GREEN!"

We have to look at this game as being a brand new game, and the best team in 20 minutes wins.

I agree.

A lot of times in big games, the big guns for both teams get a lot of defensive attention. That results in some lower profile players getting the big goals. Duncan used to be a low profile player, but now everyone knows who he is and what he is capable of. I think someone like Fabian or Bina will win it for us tonight.

That's because he has been tackled, held and hooked the whole game. Looks like they watched his hobey highlite tape.

[Big A HG]

I don't want this to be the last period I ever see Porter and Fabian and whoever else that won't be here next year. We need this period. BC had their chance last year and failed. We need to take this from them NOW.

[Goon]

I agree.

Anyone including PCM know if Dave gets excited behind closed door?

Or maybe is Porter telling the boys hey, I want to move on?

Or is this one of those situations where you don't need to say anything.

Right Now

too true. It wasn't more than a week before the hobey finalists were announced that a class mate of mine was saying duncan was a no talent hiding behind his line. when the truth is, his line was getting hyped and his talent wasn't being praised like it should

Some of the penalties called on BC haven't exactly been horrible infractions either. The downside of the way it's been called is that it has taken the hitting out of the Sioux gameplan somewhat. That had to be the plan - wear them down by pounding them - but when every check into the boards is a penalty, after a while you have to stop throwing them.

I think everyone on the team would tell you that not much needs to be said this time of year.

[GeauxSioux]

Look at this from the BC point of view. They are outshooting the Sioux 34-19, with 20 shots in the 2nd and they are not winning. They can't be happy about that. I'm sticking with my prediction, Sioux win 4-2.

[Big A HG]

Sloppy powerplay, not what we wanted

[PCM]

Totally wasted power play. Didn't look sharp at all. No coordination at all. Losing faceoffs didn't help either.

[Fedorov]

Some things never change. The PP still sucks.

The Sioux power play has been one of the bright spots all year.

[Big A HG]

Zajac and Miller have been quiet the last few games too. Zajac needs to start taking control of his game again.
