Re: University of North Dakota, version 2.0

A loss or even a tie tonight would really kill all the positive momentum the team has built up over the 1st half of the year.


GO SIOUX!
 
Re: University of North Dakota, version 2.0

well, they salvaged a split, and in a convincing fashion. Last night was a gritty, grinder type of game and the Sioux did well. And hopefully Kristo can celebrate some more. :)

Ok Sioux fans remember to place your Hobey vote every 24 hours.

Another day means another vote for Matt or Chay.:) I just voted did you?

Maple Leafs are also showing their support for Matt.
http://mapleleafs.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=549341

There are 68 Hobey candidates and Matt was getting 68% of the entire vote.
Now he is down to ONLY 60%.:)

Seems that Chay with a respectible 5% needs more votes.

Matt with 71% at the moment.
 
Re: University of North Dakota, version 2.0

Anyone know of 4 tickets for the Saturday UNO game? I'm looking for some lower tickets but might go for some uppers. I have family coming to town and would like to bring them to the game.

Vote for the All-REA Decade Team!

http://www.fightingsioux.com//quest...SPID=6405&DB_LANG=C&QID=96813&DB_OEM_ID=13500

Here was my ballot:

Goalies (3):
Lammy
Parise
Eidsness (He has won a MacNaughton and Broadmoor so far)

Defensemen (6):
Bina
Chorney
Genoway
Greene
Hale
Jones

There were a lot of excellent choices that had to be left off. I could have picked 10.

Forwards (9):
Bochenski
Duncan
Frattin
Oshie
Parise
Stafford
Toews, Jonathan
VandeVelde
Zajac, Travis

There are a ton of great choices. I'd rather pick 2 goalies and 10 forwards.

Anyway, I thought this would be fun to discuss over the next few weeks. There has been a ton of talent to come through North Dakota in the last 10 years.
 
Re: University of North Dakota, version 2.0

Nice.
My team was similar.

Goalies: JPL, Parise, Eidsness
Dmen: Bina, Chorney, Genoway, Hale, Jones, Schneider
Forwards: Bochenski, Duncan, Frattin, Parise, Oshie, Spiewak, Stafford, Toews, Zajac

I went with VandeVelde over Spiewak because VandeVelde played 4 years at REA. Schneider was very tough to leave off my list, but I just couldn't leave off Matt Greene. IMO he was the most physically dominating defensemen that played for the Sioux at the REA. It was very hard. Like I said, I'd rather select just two goalies (JPL and Parise) and pick either an extra Dman or Forward.
 
Re: University of North Dakota, version 2.0

Still looking for tickets for tomorrow. Any help is appreciated.

Edit: Found some.

Washington Post article on nickname issue:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/jan/17/fighting-sioux-on-warpath-over-nickname

Despite the fact that the article has the politically incorrect word "warpath" in title there are some very interesting comments from readers.

I liked this one the best:
The greater our society's problems become, the more our sniveling and self-righteous "politically correct police force" looks to exacerbate them further by imagining "pain and suffering" where pretty much none exist. I'm convinced that these morons wake up each day with one purpose which is to look high and low for something that they can take out of context, blow up out of proportion, rip out of the American fabric or cudgel a legislature into submission with. I have no doubt that these fools think this absurd and hollow gesture creates the outwardly appearance that they actually care. Ironic that the majority of one tribe wanted the name to stay. Political correctness is a debilitating disease much like alcohol, recreational drugs and gambling can be when addiction takes over.

This is a bit of a subjective situation. I would not look past players like Matt Watkins or Chris Porter because they will help you win the game. Remember folks, when putting together an all-time team you need gritty players. Especially penalty killers. Speaking of which, I'd select Spiewak and Notermann.
 
Re: University of North Dakota, version 2.0

Well, pleased with the result tonight. I didn't get to watch much of the game due to huge buffering issues with fightingsioux.com's webcast and the fact that it wasn't on DirecTV, but from what I saw and heard, we played better than last night, specifically on the pk. With DU leading 4-1 going to the third, we'll most likely be 1 point behind them going into next weekend's trip down to the Springs, and tied with Duluth. A sweep would be huge for MacNaughton purposes, along with momentum for the last 1/3 of our conference schedule. After the Robert Morris series, I was hoping for 4 wins from the UMN, UNO and CC series. The only way to accomplish that is by sweeping the Tigers. It's doable, but very difficult. Prior to last year's sweep, we hadn't swept CC in the Springs since '99.

I'll be at the game on Saturday, so I'm excited for that. Hopefully a strong performance and win on Friday (game will be on CBS College Sports) will set us up so I can watch us sweep on Saturday. It would be key for momentum. Anyway, pleased with the result tonight, and glad to see our pk unit back to its normal form. Now we just have to shore up our PP so we don't give up so many SH goals.

We did play better than last nite, but nothing to write home about. Too many penalties, lousy penalty killing at times and overall uninspired play. It was not even close to the level of play that we'll need to make it past the first round in the tourney.
