Today's effort was disappointing because we failed to show up and the Badgers handed it to us. Also, I am disappointed with the power play which was abysmal, pathetic and listless. We need remind a few of the players that when you put on the Fighting Sioux it means something. Losing two games at the final five is unacceptable and not a good way to launch the team into the NCAA playoffs.
I also think it is bushleague that a Blake Geoffrion would go after a Finley after Joe hit Jordy Murray with a clean a legal text book hit. Come on what a bush league move. Some Badger fan sitting next to me said that Finley is the Sioux version of Ryan Flynn. I told him what do you expect big Joe to do? Just let the guy attack him.

End of Game

Yes, it was a sad performance, the guys just didn't have any jump and in a league like the WCHA you have to bring your energy every time or you'll get run out of the rink. And it wasn't like they didn't have some power play opportunities, they just didn't put out the effort. The Badgers played a decent game, but the Sioux made them look better than they are.
