Demons just tied it 2-2

Williston leading Bismarck 2-1 with 5 left in 3rd

Fans of opposing teams might find a different meaning in this but Hennessey reports that this weekend Hexy is wearing The Floating A

I got the lines and defensive pairs from B. Schlossman in a tweet and posted it in the CC weekly thoughts thread

Refs: Todd Anderson, Brad Shepherd

D pairs: Mac-Blood Lapoint-Marto Gleason-Fienhage Eids in goal

Here are the lines: Gregoire-Vandy-Hexy Trupp-Malone-Frats Knight-Rowney-Kristo Lamoureux-Zajac-Bruno

No shame in second. I thought our girls gave it their best; just wasn't their day. I know their disappointment is deep and, being fresh, it hurts so much. But the sun will come up tomorrow and the sting will lessen with time. So, sail on, Silver Girls! We're proud of the way you battled and we can't wait to have you home.

2-0 Canada final score. USA takes silver.

In this week's "Brad Miller Time," Mario says the Canadians on the Sioux are cheering for his sisters and the USA.

Still 2-0 after two. USA working hard with nothing to show for it yet.

USA down 2-0 end of one. I remind myself that a two-goal lead is the most precarious in all of hockey. Go back out there and get the next one, girls!

This is it, girls! Destiny is at hand. Skate well and have the time of your life! We'll be cheering for ya: "Hurrah for the Red, White & Blonde!!"

yeah, I'm sorry about living such a lo-def life.

Actually, I thought I read that they were taking online classes.

Just as well, you being a jinx and all.

I thought you were in Ohio, wouldn't that make it 6:30 ET?

5:30 Central. If I'm reading the schedule correctly, it'll be on MSNBC.

USA vs. Canada for the gold on Thursday.

U.S., eh! U.S., eh! Awesome game that lived up to its hype. How great to watch former Sioux Toews and Parise play so well. Keep skatin', Team USA, and get that gold!

Lammy gets 2 goals and is named First Star of the Game coming back from double secret probation. How sweet is that! It was a very special night at the Ralph with the sweep and the homecoming celebration for our last national championship team. The notes from Travis Roche and Scorin' Goren were especially touching. But what became of Matt Greene? Where was he?

I DO remember that fowl play. The old Ralph had its charms.

Should I spill some salt and throw it over my shoulder at dinner?

Oh, no! Hope you can find a machine. Brand new, I think the price is well under $50 now, VCRs being so old-school. BTW, PM me if you'd like text updates from tonight's game. I provide them to our friend Mafia Man so it's no trouble. I know you're superstitious about following the game on siouxsports.com but I'm sure the bad luck won't transfer to the texting medium.
