Sioux sweep Harvard 4-3.

The Fighting Sioux finally get their first series sweep of the season against the Harvard Crimson.

First off this game was tough to watch. The two people calling the game for the Harvard broadcast were absolutely horrible. These two Skippy’s need to go to back and take remedial hockey 101 classes. These two guys in question were messing up basic hockey knowledge facts and it takes away from the hockey broadcast. Case in point, just because a player hits someone into the end boards, or side boards, as long as it isn’t result of a player taking more than three steps, or if the opposition player doesn’t chop his opponent face first into the boards, it is not a penalty. End of story. You can’t make up penalties (unless you are Don Adam) just because it was hard check. Now if the opposition player is checking a person that isn’t the puck carrier that is interference.

Second the officials for tonight’s game aren’t even to WCHA standards so they are God awful. To call a player for goalie interference that player would actually have to interfere with the goalie. Standing in front of him without making contact is not interference. That was a brutal call.

Positives from tonight's game

~Jake Marto was a +1 for the night and +2 on the weekend.

~David Toews had three points on the weekend and is now (2-3-5)on the season.

~Ryan Duncan had two points tonight (1-1-2) that makes three points on the weekend and (6-8-14) for the season.

~Senior Ryan Martens was solid all weekend and got another assist tonight to go along with six points last night. That gives Ryan Martens (5-6-11) points on the season eclipsing last season (1-9-10) point total.

~For the Brad Eidsness doubters; Brad Eidsness is now 7-5-1, has a GAA of 2.67 and a SV% of .911. I think we can say without a doubt that Eidsness is the starter. Eidsness is becoming the starter we thought he would be.

~Since losing the first three games of the season the Sioux are 7-5-1.
