In looking at this video posted above, it's like watching two games with in a game. This is the video from the Kendall Hockey Classic, tournament the Sioux played in back in October, while it was at the beginning of the season, it should serve as a reminder for the Fighting Sioux. The UND Fighting Sioux raced to a 5-1 lead and then ended up hanging on for a 5-5 tie, the Sioux almost lost that game in the overtime period. I hope that the Fighting Sioux do not take this Seawolves team lightly, they are big, physical team and they will come at you and they will play the body. This team is not a bunch of pansies that are afraid to hit, beware of Jade Portwood.
If the Seawolves get a lead on the Fighting Sioux they will back into the defensive zone and play a collapsing defense. The Seawolves are one of the biggest teams in division 1 hockey so they will be a hard team to get inside the dots on. The Sioux are going to have to cash in on their opportunities… The Fighting Sioux are a deeper team offensively and they are going to have to use their speed to capitalize on the Seawolves mistakes and burry the turnovers. The Fighting Sioux are going to have to get a lead and to cause the Seawolves to have to open up their game.

Delusions of Grandeur has a preview to the Sioux and Sea Dogs series. It was amazing that he was able to write a blog post free of profanity.
