As Megadeth once sang, who’s sweating bullets right now?

So with two teams outside the top 16 winning in ECAC play, does that take away a spot for a bubble team? Or with a Dartmouth win, the bubble teams are all safe?

7-0, Ohio State

So they won’t fall? Wow.

Anyone have a guess as to where Wisconsin will fall if they end up losing tonight?

On GPL, Veegs predicted 4-3, Gophers in double overtime.

Let’s see if Penn State goes up by five or more if Guy sends his number one power play unit out there with five minutes to play like he did a few weeks ago against Ohio State.

4-0 Nittany Lions now.

I liked what Carle said on many fronts but a comment he made regarding signing kids out of the professional ranks stood out to me. I think he called it ludicrous. He didn’t name schools but CC jumped out to me as Mayotte went out and plucked Mats Lindgren from the ECHL (56 games with the ECHL Wheeling Nailers along with a small number of AHL game experience). Lindgren was easily CC’s best player in the short amount of time he played with the Tigers. I have mixed feelings about allowing this-on one hand as a fan, I was happy Mayotte went out to find a capable replacement for Burkholder but on the other, it just doesn’t sit right with me that we have players with professional experience dropping down to the college ranks. I believe Omaha went out during the break as well and got a guy with professional experience at the holiday break.

I’m no Gavyn Thoreson fan but it sure looked like Kleber hooked the heck out of him on that late third period break away; no call. Coach Larson was hot at the conclusion of the game.

Dane Jackson said in his post game press conference that he was going to give the boys a few days of relaxation and fun before resetting for the next round. Wonder if he’d get the boys on a bus this morning and head on down to Sioux Falls to cheer on the men’s basketball team?

Yah, it wasn’t a smart play. CC iced the puck and the play was whistled dead so not sure why he did it.

Form a conference now with Maryville going D-I. Alaska, Anchorage, Lindenwood, Stonehill, Long Island, and Maryville. Six team conference gets you an auto bid into the tournament.

I’ve watched the play several times and it did look like Mrsic for CC pulled the Bronco player down even though they both were tangled together and simultaneously fell. I don’t know the rule well enough but it’s a tough way to see your season end. Also, seeing Mbereko look on as his college career comes to an end is difficult.

Very true. Last year, CC had to travel to Denver for the first round quarterfinals. The Tigers won a closely contested first game, 3-1, with Denver outmatching CC on Saturday, winning 6-4. Kaidan Mbereko left game two with an injury and that might have taken the air out of the sails for CC as they appeared to have nothing left in the tank, getting smoked on Sunday, 9-2 with little used Carsen Musser in net.
