Follow the puck has the Tonka-Spuds highlights and that is just another level. The goaltending and playmakers in that one was special. Should be a prelude to the state tournament.

McKenna did join my five year old yesterday in the not so glamorous category of shooting the puck into your own net during a game. Only difference is my kid took great pride in lighting the lamp for the other team.

Credit to the Dukes for covering today. I'm glad they didn't quit. Last three possessions were all TDs. I was scared Lanning was going to run it up to 40 plus spread zone when it was at 48-13.

Central over RR 6-2 with 2 EN goals at the end. Young Mr. Marto had himself a game. Lot of poise and patience with the puck.

I've read some "not where we thought he'd be" jargon from the Canada bloggers. If he hadn't made the jump south of the 49th parallel its not a question. The way Canada finds a way to screw up their world junior team some years is mind boggling.

Congrats to James Madison on a great run, but this is what happens when you go against a legit top 5 FBS operation. There just isn't an answer for the athleticism for the Dukes.

Illinois State road warrioring their way to the national championship. I'd put money on the Cats with how their offense is going, but the Red Birds an intriguing story.

So congrats to the Cats, would rather see Vigen in Nashville than the Grizz after the screw job we got there this year. All the Twitter insider crowd says NDSU to FBS, with schedules and everything in place. More interesting than Tulane vs. Ole Miss.

Who ya got today? I'll say 4-2 Knights.

Sheyenne beat North 5-3 with an empty net goal at the end. Davies over Shanley in OT Minot over Century in a wild west shootout. Williston over Hazen. Bismarck High over Mayport. Dickinson leads Bottineau late.

2026 schedule.... Long Island....that's a win. St. Thomas.....win. At Portland State.....win. At Nebraska.....no more Pat Maholms Jr. At QB.... Northern Iowa.....win. At ISU Blue.....win. South Dakota.....win. At SDSU.....loss. At SIU....win Murray......win At Youngstown.....Beau will be tough at his place. NDSU....I'll call this a win at home. Way too early record projects out to be in the 9-3 ballpark. They should be 3-0 heading into Nebraska, can't falter at Portland State....that team was awful this year, but a new coach this year.

Canada beat Sweden in pre tournament play 2-1 in Kitchener. They have another one with the Swedes, and then they open the tournament with Czechia at Mariucci. The USA opens against the Germans next Friday at the G spot. Game time, 5pm.

Current EDC power rankings: 1. Central 2. Red River 3. Davies 4. Devils Lake 5. Sheyenne 6. WF 7. North 8. Shanley 9. GPR 10. Mayport Next two for Devils Lake are Red River at home and at Davies before the break.

Devils Lake with another win. 3-2 over WFHS. Lot of people wondered about their goaltending after Forsberg, but the new kid has been good for them. RR scored 5 in the first, and beat Davies. Central big over North. Minot over Dickinson Mandan over Bismarck High. Haven't seen a score from Grafton or Williston. *Shanley over GPR 4-3

Its important that they find a way to finish fourth in the NFC North, which is likely at this point. Getting the likes of a New Orleans, and a Vegas on the schedule with some other teams in that #4 slot is big for next season.

We are totally doing the thing where we are out of the playoffs but beating bad teams because why would we want a better pick?

OTOH? I may have to ask my kids on that. Pucks to the head, still figuring out how the cool kids talk.

I thought Laurilla was really good this weekend, and will only get more time as the year goes on. Saturday could've been sketchy defensively with two regulars out and Zmolek not 100%. It was at times, but the every eligible d man unit got the job done.

You of all people would overlook Mercyhurst....

With that Huskie win UND wraps up the 2025 Virg Foss award for early season excellence.

Okay, now where is 71...

We just had a prevent power play....

Ope....there is a penalty on the Mavs. 5:03 left in this one.

With how he's going I think Zellers has a great chance to make the WJC. Definitely found another gear.

Hey young hockey players, puck on your stick with under 10 seconds left in the period you probably don't sauce one up the middle.....
