Sunday evening rewind; still grinning from ear to ear.

The Fighting Sioux ran the Huskies out of their own building last night and it was your basic old fashion ass whooping. The UND Fighting Sioux looked like angry, caged wild animal and they need to keep playing like that if they want to be successful the rest of the way. I was proud to see old time Fighting Sioux hockey return, I hope we hear more complaints about the big mean Sioux. I am smiling from ear to ear and you would have to surgically remove my smile.

I can bet that no one sitting above UND in the standings really wants anything to do with UND right now. After outplaying many opponents over the course of the schedule where the Sioux went an unimpressive 1-5-1 last night the goals started going in. Also, the Sioux power play went an impressive 5/7 last night after going something like 0-34. The UND Fighting Sioux with its explosive night on the power play moved up to 8th nationally on the power play.

The Donnny Brook that wasn't

First off I have to give Marvin credit he answered the bell and the refs broke up the fight before they could settle this like men. In my opinion at least Aaron Marvin has more honor that Geoff Paukovich. I would say that Aaron Marvin understands the hockey code better than his coach does, at least Marvin knows how to man up.

The thing if the refs let the two guys fight they settle right there and it’s over. Since they stepped in and broke up the fight this is going to feaster into the next season. I don’t think it’s going to be over by any stretch of the imagination. These things will work themselves out eventually, I don't think anything will happen this season again because the two teams don't play again if they meet it will be in the playoffs victory will be the ultimate goal. They have four meetings to settle this next season, I am not going to worry about it any more this season.

Marvin, a marked man since his check from behind last November gave Genoway a concussion, found his team down 4-0 by the time he stepped out of the box.

"I don't think it's fully done," Lamoureux said of the Sioux feud for Marvin — who did not go through the handshake line after the game.
"I think (Marvin) knew there would be some type of altercation this weekend. He was willing to drop the gloves and he manned up, which is good to see.

"I try not to think about it too much. Hopefully this was just a good positive for our team." [SC Times]

I really am not a fan of Bob Motzko he basically is cut from the same mode at Donny Lucia, whenever something doesn’t goes the Huskies way he always sounds like a winny pretty boy prima Donna. Motzko’s teams don’t have a lot of grit and he doesn’t like the rough games and his team had their asses handed to them this weekend. If I was Wisconsin I would play them the same way next weekend. I would be willing to bet that the Sioux coaching staff didn’t send Bob Motzko a Valentines’ Day card this year. Compare and contrast you won't hear Hakstol talking down the opposition like this.

Zajac drew a slashing major on Garrett Roe, which precipitated a litany of other scraps late in the third.
Zajac said it all might not have happened if the referees would've let Lamoureux and Marvin go.

"It's frustrating because if they would've let it happen, it would be settled now," Zajac said.

"Now it's just going to escalate and you get worse and worse things happening. It's part of the game of hockey.
"We're grown men. We know what to do. We know how the game is played. They should've let it go."

The Huskies expect the issue will linger.

"(The Sioux) will have it go until it dies," Motzko said.
"I wish Aaron Marvin wouldn't have dropped his gloves. We have no business getting involved with that right now. We needed to play hockey and we stopped that. They got us off our focus." [SC Times]

If I was coach Hakstol I would post those comments up on the black board in the locker room next time the two teams play. I would use that as a motivation. Here is why I say that, if UND plays SCSU again this season the Huskies are going to be looking over their shoulder all game because they know the hits are coming, the fore-check and pressure is coming. Every time Roe, Lasch and Marvin step onto the ice they are getting hit, because the Roe and Lasch do not like to be hit.
