    From a fan perspective though holy Hannah was it a fun place to watch a game. The fireworks were incredibly excessive but the atmosphere was just so fun.

What about throwing some blame at the pathetic power play, 0-15 to start the season with very little threat of scoring.

      Giving up on the season 3 games in seems a bit over board. Hopefully they will come back with more edge tonight.
      first goal from 60 feet away changed game tone and momentum. Tough one to let in

      Gillues has never lost back to back at Providence. Will be interesting for sure

        Frankly, I think Tyler Sims was at fault for last night's defeat. Seems to me the Friars couldn't score when he was in goal either.

        I just don't understand the rush to hang it all on our goalies. Providence took five penalties in the first period. There are supposed to be five guys skating in front of the goalie. Let's harp on that a bit.

        PC scored one goal. Certainly that was Gillies fault. PC could not solve North Dakota last night and were outplayed in every facet of the game. By the third period (with Gillies on the bench) they looked tired for most of the period, but for a little rally near the end.

        PC was 0 for 8 on the power play. ND was 2 for five.

        I wouldn't say Gillies has played bad in big games, I would absolutely say those were team efforts.

        To paraphrase Bill Belichick, PC has to make more plays on offense, PC has play better on defense, PC has to play better in goal and PC has to coach better.

        Seems to me some people were grumbling all last season about Gillies, yet PC was one game away from the Frozen Four losing to the eventual national champion.

        They will not win them all. They will stink the joint out some nights. And they will look like national champs on other nights.

        There is my rant for the day. I expect a very different game tonight.

          • Glad you enjoyed it, the community takes a lot of pride in the arena and the team.

            And yeah... the fireworks can scare the crap out of you if you're not ready for them.

            But to echo others sentiments, I expect a different game tonight. Coming into the weekend I said Sioux win Friday tie Saturday and I have a feeling that Providence won't lay down for the 2nd game.

            Go Sioux!

              Tonight might be the Friars' night. Hockey is a funny game--the difference between a little and a lot can be little.

                It's early, but down 1-0 and the scoring thing still isn't happening.

                      So PC gets its first power play goal of the season.

                        PC had 0 shots on goal in first 10 minutes of the second period. North Dakota scored once. Must all be the goalie's fault.

                          Low tire pressure? Gillies.

                                Haha after the first goal I turned to my friend and was like "uhhh you could have mentioned that...." but it was so cool! I've been a Sioux fan for a while now and I'm really happy I got the opportunity to make it out to the Ralph. (Even though I'm rooting for my Friars.)
