Final Five Quarterfinals: St, Clooud vs. Fighting Whioux

Re: Final Five Quarterfinals: St, Clooud vs. Fighting Whioux

All that matters is how Lee has done against UND in the 2 years before this one.
Not how he is playing now, not how much better this team is defensively.
Just that Lee's history against UND sucks, so obviously they will light him up and destroy us.

Exactly. Red Light Lee isn't playing against Omaha or Tech on Thursday, so why should we look at those numbers?

Against UND:
Faragher = 2-2-0, .953 sv%, 1.77 GAA - "I don't believe, what I just saw!"
Red Light Lee = 0-5-1, .878 sv%, 4.41 GAA - "He shoots, he scores!!!!"

Against SCSU:
Aaron Brick Wall Dell = 5-2-1, .898 sv%, 2.31 GAA - It could be worse...see above.
Brad The Brain Eidsness = 6-3-0, .911 sv%, 2.67 GAA - Hey, at least it ain't Red Light Lee in Net.

The real question is, shouldn't Motzko just play with an empty net instead of starting Red Light Lee? Is there really a difference?

:p:D:D
 
Bob Motzko just announced he is either going with Lee or a second crossbar depending on their performance the next two days in practice, let's pray Lee can stop a couple pucks so UND gets the favorable matchup!

What you're missing in your analysis is that Mr. Red Light was "cleansed" of evil whioux spirits by Skeets this week. I'm not privy to the exact nature of the cleansing but I'm told it involved a sauna like mud hut, a lot of drums, some "herbal" medicines, and various other activities that are illegal in most southern states.

And if North Dakota was no longer the Sioux, that just may have worked. Unfortunate for Red Light Lee.

The last time Red Light Lee took on the Sioux at the Final Five?

0-1-0, .852 sv%, 9.20 GAA.

That empty net option isn't looking so bad now is it?
 
Re: Final Five Quarterfinals: St, Clooud vs. Fighting Whioux

People in this thread have brought up that Mike Lee has struggled in the past against UND, and therefore would be a bad choice to start. I looked it up, and sure enough, when looking at game's he's played he was getting lit up again and again; names like Hextall, Frattin, Malone, even Toews (not the good one) kept coming up over and over again.

But upon further inspection, I realized that this year's UND teams doesn't have any of those players. In fact 4 current UND (insert offensive mascot name of the week here) players have scored a combined 6 goals against Mike Lee in those 6 games that Lee was 0-5-1 against them. So he's got an astounding 1.167 GAA against the current bunch of no-talent ***-clowns that make up UND's lineup, even better than Faragher's already impressive 1.77 GAA. I mean who cares how he played against Frattin, Hextall and VandeVelde... none of them are playing on Thursday at the X!

Motzko, being the sound strategist, I'm sure also has looked in-depthly at the numbers and is putting Lee in against a group of players that has had very little success against him. Lee gets the start, not because he is the starter or looking at how he's played down the stretch, but due to a favorable matchup. DAMMIT!

You heard it here first...if Red Light Lee gets the start he's allowing 6 goals!

light lee up and send jan packing... about time their season ended.

Lee, Faragher; Faragher, Lee. Whatever.

Of course, it doesn't matter who starts in goal for Dakota. This season SCSU has defeated both goalies.

I'm guessing Hak considers his astrology chart along with the date of March 15th and he starts the "Eidesness of March".

Not a bad choice. The last time Eidsness got the start against SCSU at the Final Five I remember the Sioux lifting the Broadmoor Trophy.

I also remember Red Light Lee getting pulled after an impressive (for him) 26+ minutes and 9.20 GAA.

Do these whiuox people come from whiuoxville and do these whioux people eat green eggs and ham?

Yes he will... if the game goes 308 minutes and 35 seconds. That's how many he gave up in those six games. So that's what, in the 13th OT? Must be cause its unlucky thirteen. If we got 13 OTs then I won't even be mad that he gives up the game-winner, it'll be like an extra four games DAMMIT!

Aaron "Swiss Cheese" Dell this season: 2.79 GAA, .896 SV%. No, that isn't a typo. The First Team All-WCHA goalie from last year, glorified practice goalie this season.

Incorrect sir, the guy they call "Red Light Lee," the guy who's given up 17 goals in ten games since his return from surgery, the guy with 2.24 GAA and .930 SV% on the entire season, it is he who is sievetastic DAMMIT!
