NORTH DAKOTA vs. Providence


AZSIOUX

Recommended Posts

East vs West powers match up at The Ralph this weekend

Providence split @ ohio state two weekends back. Both overtime games. They tied USAu18 3-3 this last week and had the weekend off

Sioux are 3-1 after sweeping CC in the springs

Two top 5 teams! Easily the match up of college hockey world this weekend. Two top tier goal goalies in Mcintyre and Jon gilles 6'5 215

Go sioux!!

Just keep the same personnel we had in springs, unless injury then Murphy gets a shot. Keep rotating Keaton, Mattson or whomever. Gage and Stetcher stay put for now with their play.

Gage - Please quit taking penalties every game.

Parks - You played well in Springs. Now let's get some goals. It's time.

Overall D - Tighten up for this series on the backend.

Forwards - continue to make small passes and plays. Keep crashing the net. Get pucks on net.

Let's go!

A sweep would be huge for our pairwise ranking later in the season.  This is the kind of series you need to win if you want to be a #1 seed in Fargo.

#1 seed doesn't mean a lot in Fargo, except for line changes, so just make the NCAA tournament first.

Agreed. No. 1-4, doesn't matter. It'll be home ice and if it's home ice, we should win.

It will make a difference on who else is in the bracket though.  Would be nice to be a #1 seed and hypothetically have a little easier road in a lose and you're done scenario.

I still feel that we need to be able to beat anyone in the country that close to home. All I'm saying.

Agreed it would be nice to not be seeded 1 and hopefully the Gophers are seeded higher and end up in Fargo...I like our chances against them in our back yard as opposed to Boston...since we will probably see BC out there playing in their back yard...god forbid BC ever has to play west of the Mississippi

I disagree completely, my perfect scenario would be to get the 1 seed in Fargo and the Gophers can get a 1 seed and have go somewhere else and we see them in the National Championship game.

That's actually a good point if they get sent out east. If it's not in Fargo, South Bend isn't that much different. Manchester and Providence, however, would be much tougher.

I disagree completely, my perfect scenario woud be to get the 1 seed and the Gophers to sit at home wondering why their #1 preseason ranking didn't get them into the tournament with a .500 record.

As we’ve seen in years past there have been a few up start teams to take down high seeds in the tournament….ideally I’d like to see some other team knock off the Gophers however to be the best you have to beat the best and I think UND’s best chances are in their backyard….plus I’m a little selfish as I would love to see a Sioux /Gopher game in Fargo….especially since I already have tickets, however if that isn’t going to happen then yes I think we go for the #1 seed

True but I would be pretty surprised with the team they have and the way their conference has looked early on to not see them in the tournament.

The boys are going to have to bring their A game this weekend.  PC will be very good.  They are going to see our rink and instantly be jacked (similar to BSU, except they will have a lot more skill).

 

We need to find a way to match it. The play from Saturday has to carry over. Plain and simple. We play like we did on Saturday night in the Springs, not many teams in the country can hang.
