My impressions on Rocco thus far have been that he has actually tried to force passes at somewhat inopportune times (i.e. just inside the blue line, drop passes, etc.). I hadn't really noticed overly selfish play, but maybe it's not for on-ice actions???

I think you raise an excellent point here. In a way, it makes me want to say "to heck" with traditional markets and "why not" try to introduce the game to non traditional markets? I mean, if you can't sell regional tourney games that actually mean something in so-called "hockey markets," why not play some mid season non-con games in warm, non traditional markets? What does college hockey really stand to lose?

I think burd was referring to Gregoire and St. Clair verballing to DU and CC, respectively, before ultimately choosing UND.

JT had a signed NLI, no? Did Gregoire or St. Clair? Just curious... I think most fans are bitter at JT for bailing so close to the start of the season, not simply because he had a change of heart. At least that's how I'm reading the fan sentiment.

Well, if he performs in the WJC as well as he has since blaming himself after personally "losing" that Friday DU game it could be a special tourney!

In the MN hockey hub article Sprig linked to above they mentioned specifically that there was no "package deal" involved; however, the two are friends and had been communicating throughout the recruiting process.

I don't know...I prefer to watch champions play at their best, not on tired legs.

I'm just not sure I'd want to see the National Championship be between two teams playing their third game in a back-to-back-to-back.

My DirecTV guide shows this as an upcoming event on the Fox College Sports Channel. Does anyone know if FCS is actually picking this game up? I thought they only planned to carry hockey this year...

I think so. I also remember Seeing a photo of Prpich fighting a Bulldog while wearing the green version of that sweater.

No doubt. Friday was a highlight show in itself!

Easy to do!

If you're simply adding titles you may as well shift 4 to 5 and insert Wisconsin.

You could see DU lacking energy yesterday. I think skating 10 F for the second straight weekend took its toll. I just have trouble feeling bad for them...am I insensitive? The idea that there is more to the story crossed my mind last night as well.

Just think of how many wished we were "as good as" DU a month ago.

Apparently on a delayed penalty the whistle blows on immediate puck contact with the goalie?

Tech player split the D. The two D converged and one knocked the puck away. The puck went to the side and the whistle blew. There was no takedown, but it was difficult to see how the UND player managed to hack the puck off the Tech player's stick. My guess was a hook or a slash, but whether or not it warranted a penalty shot is questionable.

Never saw a replay, but at first glance I didn't think so.

I just heard Tech's asst coach say they need to fight through the clutching and grabbing. Funny stuff right there.

Mine is about same as last night. Not locking up, but blurring every few seconds.

Ha! Yes, I know...I was questioning if he got the goal or not. My feed went all pixelated at that point.

He's harping on rebounds. That's it.
