Wilbur

Samberg, Richards, Perunovich..... Big shoes to fill on the back end and in the net. The same program won a national championship after they graduated a ton and got six games to all go the right way, so I'm never counting them out.

I think its Kierstad's team. I think he gets named the captain. Seems like Gooch is a quiet leader. C-Kierstad A-Gooch A-Senden A-Adams

Thanks for posting this one. I was at the game but spent entirely too much time pregaming at Alary's and don't remember much......

Young kid steps in, wins all the NCHC goaltending awards for the next three years. Sounds like the way things have been going in Duluth.

Duluth is due for an off year in the goaltending department right? I don't think they had another kid start a game all year other than Shepard did they?

Next you'll want an all private school section of Minnesota high school hockey.....

All time faves: -Tobey Kvelevog -Kevin Spiewak -Jason Noterman -Mike Commodore The way the entire arena said Hooooogsteen was epic.

I agree here. Hate to speculate about what the issue was. Extremely short leash, spot on. Good luck to the kid. Duluth loses a lot on the back end, wonder if he looks at them as an option.

This is spot on what I had for three weeks in November.

My golf course actually is open today. They letting you on the course?

We all know how talented he is, but to hear his coach rave about his hockey sense and IQ is fantastic.

@Blackheart is the MVP of the sports world right now. The 97 team made me truly fall in love with the Fighting Sioux. My dad always talked about how great the program was. We went to games, but I never really understood until that year. We lived and died together during that magical run. My dad also picked me up early from school so we could watch the Thursday CC beatdown. My mom was pissed but my dad always said she'd get over it.

Sounds like there will be a review.

Well done sir. Well done.

One of my favorite UND hockey memories is the 2nd period of the 1997 championship game. Down two zip after one and we outscore them 5-1 that period. Anyone have highlights of that game?

I played GF men's league with Panzer one year when I was at UND. Super competitive guy. Loved talking hockey with the guy.

I was just posting this exact thing. Spicer killed it this year.

Returning the NCHC goaltending champion is a good thing. Shouldn't have any questions with two very capable guys.

I will never understand how Wisconsin finished last with that talent. Give me a break..... I'd bet Caufield leaves too.

Travesty. Absolute travesty. I'm absolutely devastated for these kids......

So if the games are still played do they really need to hold onto the regional sites?? I mean, does the F4 even need to be held in Detroit?

I have no problems with CC forfeiting this weekend's series. Safety first.

Dave Berger in a reply to Schloss said both voters were from Omaha. Not sure if that's true or not, but looking at some of the ballots over the years there have been a few tragedies for a couple different players.

Best time of the year in the college game. Gonna see a fired up CC team playing for their hockey lives. Hopefully we don't have any suspensions from our goon league series against Omaha. I imagine the NCHC will be handing those out to our guys in the next few days. We will be lucky to have a full lineup.

Game on ESPN tomorrow then?
