Lammy Out with Injury, Grecio next?

Line Up Shuffles this Weekend
The injury bug has hit the UND Fighting Sioux this past week as Phil Lamoureux went down with an undisclosed injury during Tuesday’s practice and super sophomore Jonathon Toews remains on the shelf after suffering an undisclosed upper body injury (damn HIPAA Laws) during last Fridays game against the Maine Black Bears. HIPAA The coaching staff must now decide who is going to start between the pipes for the Fighting Sioux this weekend against the MSUM Mavericks. I say the logical bet is Tony Grecio. While injuries are a part of the game, these set backs couldn’t have come at a worse time. The team is still searching for an identity after losing three games in a row to Frozen Four finalists.

Who Starts in Goal For the Sioux
Who starts for the Sioux in goal for this weekend’s series? This seems to be the $64,000.00 question that loaming over the coaches head. This is a subject that has been discussed in much detail by the bloggers around the Internet Brad’s Blog the last couple of days. There are various opinions on who should start in net for the Sioux and why? Some of these feelings seem to based on emotion: some had said lets see what Walski can do, he played junior hockey, he can’t be that bad. Some still remember Walski’s 73-save performance during the North Dakota State High School Hockey Playoffs. I am not so sure that starting Walski is the right move when the Sioux desperately need points in a bad way. This weekend’s series may prove to be a pivotal series early as the Sioux need points if they want to be in the mix come March as they make another march towards the NCAA playoffs. Anything less than three points this weekend is unacceptable.

I think that its time to see what the young heralded freshman goaltender can do. One could ask the question. What possibly could be a better opportunity to get Tony Grecio’s feet wet then having him play this weekend? What a test; having Tony play in a hostile environment against a hard hosed opponent. There is no time like the present. Lets see what the kid can do.
