Doug McLeod just called this UM/PSU game a "classic Big Ten tilt." Classic? Since the conference (and PSU) aren't very old, surely he means "typical." 4-1 Gophers

If this is just fun & games for the sake of entertainment, why the need to call out bias and be so abrasive? You do realize this isn't objectivecollegehockey.com? Take your own advice. Stop reading and replying to the bias here.

I'm sure Dave will say the fact that this thread exists proves something. I can't wait for him to tell us!

I think the expectation of 2 goals a night is weighing him down.

...either that or Berry doesn't want the kid demoralized by the play in front of him.

Not sure why it's necessary to make the goalie switch here. Need to figure out a better way to motivate these guys than jerking around the young goalie.

How about the other two that were waived off?

Shocker. Late period goal against.

No, but what can they do about it now other than get over it and win as many as possible the rest of the way? Last season they dropped a game to Wisconsin that certainly was embarrassing, but thankfully they put it behind them and went about their business.

I'm over it. Seems the team is as well (hopefully).

DIRECTV shows ch. 45 in the twin cities. If you're not in the TC but have the sports pack I see the game on 628-1 on my guide (NESN ALT)...only because I have the Bruins game on!

I sense a balance in the college hockey force at least tonight.

Great win for the boys' confidence.

We can thank a boneheaded play for the tie game.

Hallelujah!

Here comes the outrage...

I know we have one of the greatest home-ice advantages in college hockey, but I have a feeling these guys are pumped to be going on the road, and it will be good for team chemistry. Also, I have a feeling we will see more structure this weekend with it being a road series and not a home series against a team we're "supposed to beat."

Denver PPG ties it 1-1

BC is playing much better than Denver so far. The color commentator in this game sounds like a subdued Dave Starman.

At the end you state "It has always been about good hockey...." But at the beginning you say how your love for the hockey has changed with the nickname/merchandise/logo. If it has "always been about good hockey" to you I'm having a hard time understanding your position. The hockey hasn't actually changed even though the nickname has.

We should probably see how the series this fall and next turn out before we worry about how the Vegas game goes.

The biggest problem with the Minnesota series isn't the other events in town...it's the fact that it is over the opening weekend of firearms deer season (well, for me anyway).

He sure made a nice pass to LJ on our second goal, so yeah, he could fit!

Does anyone know if any of the other MN schools have ever tried to bid for a regional at the X? Why is it always UMN's regional? Why not Duluth...SCSU....MSU....BSU? Is it simply a matter of the X making the call on which school they place a bid with?

Isn't the fact it's taking so long the definition of "inconclusive?"
