Smith got taken out on the rush, then they call Mismash for his dumb hit on Luko.....yup.....

Is that the play by play or color guy?

Why on earth does college hockey of all sports bring out the moron announcers who absolutely have zero regard for the integrity of the game..... Guy got mad for two penalties on DU and then starts throwing out head shot comments. Mute.....

Denver got killed by the reffs the whole period.....lucky to be ahead 1-0. Hope the stripes can pick it up for them period 2.....terrible.....

"Come on reffs" Mute the rest of the weekend....

Denver guy took a big time dive near Rhett to try.....

Great stick by Yon or Denver has a tap in.

Of course their goalie has been shaky before this....

Not that I have seen. Last story I saw was from like November I believe. Not sure if the purpose was to create an all star team of mainly GF or area kids, but you would assume that had to be discussed.

You perked my interest with the Tier 1 idea. Obviously some flights involved and some hotel etc, but much as you have the Little Caesars, Victory Honda, Belle tire etc, I bet you could find a major sponsor to help with costs. Rydell Chevrolet U18 Junior Siou....err...Hawks.

So if you did create an all star team of Grand Forks kids, lets call them the Knightriders (see what I did there...), would the MSHSL even allow them into their jurisdiction being the players would not be residents of Minnesota? Let's say they are allowed to play Minnesota teams, but not qualify for the state tournament. So they are just playing for pride then??? This is where I see the MJHL team idea making progress at some point.

I think saving prep hockey in ND is the most important issue to me. Every year rumors fly in GF about AAA midget teams or now it's a possible MJHL team. Heck, Minot lost younger kids this year to Canada and U16 teams in Colorado. I don't think a solution is in the near future but at least it is being discussed.

There you go. Cut the dead weight.

At least we aren't the only ones that see it......

Did it based on population.

Class AA: RR, GFC, Devils Lake, North, South-Shanley, Davies, WF, Sheyenne, Jamestown, Century, Bismarck, Mandan, Minot, Dickinson, Williston. Class A: GPR(just put here because of population), Langdon, Mayport, Wahpeton/Breck, Hazen, Watford City, Crosby, Sidney, Bottineau. I know I probably missed some, and GPR likely plays up. Questions for those that know more than me: Does Valley City have enough for a team at the single A level? How soon will legacy have hockey? How soon does WF get that next high school? How many South kids vs. Shanley kids on that team right now? I like the idea of two classes. Whether it makes sense dollars and cents wise will of course be what makes or breaks it.

Let's hope he gets sent to Mariucci this weekend. (Yes, I know the rink will be empty)

Thank you good sir. I think all the fans at Mariucci this weekend will fit on the plane to South Bend.

One goal away from a possible national championship run..... Bucky had its season ended by Penn State moments ago. Believe now Goldy goes to Happy Valley.

I hope you just didn't curse us with Walsh now......

How about we not let their goalies look amazing...... Four meetings and UND has been the better team in three of the games. Win or go home.

The Griffs stayed alive last night! Big OT win last night gives them another day at the rink today in Niagara. They win another 9 games in a row and they'll win that Championship you think they can't win.

Blowing that two goal Saturday lead in Omaha still kills me.....Could have buried them in the second period.....let them stick around.....no points.....

So....if UND: -Wins two of three at Denver. -Wins one of two at NCHC FF. Preferably over SCSU or Duluth...... Would it be possible to be in an at large position????

This threw a wrench in my private jet flight to Kalamazoo next Friday.......
