Just looked at Slovakia roster on TSN and I didn't see Tomek listed. Wonder if that means it's a no go.

Would love to see Tomek get a few games at the WJC. He wants an opportunity to prove he is game ready, this would be it. I'm sure the UND coaches will watch every minute he plays.

Two NCAA guys on Canada and the world didn't blow up... Their team is completely set, have already played scrimmage games, and the USA doesn't even report until tomorrow. Anybody know if Tomek made Slovakia?

These kids are clearly the victims in all of this.

Nice to add another good player in the backfield. Should make the offense more diverse with using 22.

Let me just set the record straight as an assistant coach of that Wahpeton team. None of our players could catch the Red River players to get a cheap shot in on them. You can't hit what you can't catch....

Seriously.....get a coach and a bag of pucks and somebody work with Wolanin on holding the fricken line.....

Four minutes left....throw everything on net and maybe you get a lucky bounce.

They have got to hit the net on some of those power play chances. Way too many pucks into the glass which kills any momentum you have going on.

In laws......

Another reason to hate Team Canada hockey.....

Tim Walsh is such a clown.....a UND player hits a Western player like Pogo got hit and he's in the shower by now......put him with Anderson and you've got a great tandem......

So what happens first next week. EWU gets to 30 or Pelini explodes on the sidelines?

So EWU killing the spiders.... Had they played UND today???? EWU 28-UND 17?

5-1. Pogo with another tip in.

And Todd Anderson with an atrocious call. That's awful....

Great play by Hoff on the blue line to send in Bowen.

4-1.

Brian Schaan is devastated.....poor guy.....Can someone tell him he's not on Valley news live?

Run bleeping clock.....

So how exactly was Werner hurt??

Exactly. Central did this to us instead of making it 30-0. It became a competition for them not to give us a shot on goal and work different forecheck systems. Luke Johnson put on a puck possession clinic. We all know who the better team was and Central didn't have to score 20 goals to prove it. I cheered for them that state tournament and I never before cheered for a GF school at the state tournament. Classy group.

I've always thought about this, maybe could make it work with the number of junior gold teams in the state. AA: Red River, Central, Devils Lake, North, South, West Fargo, West Fargo Sheyenne eventually, Davies, Jamestown, Bismarck High, Century, Legacy eventually, Mandan, Dickinson, Minot, Williston. A: Wahpeton, Langdon, Mayport, Grafton/Park River, Watford City, Crosby, Sidney, Shanley, Hazen/Beulah, Bottineau, Rugby. Obviously Grafton would like to play in the AA ranks, but you have enough for a split class system. I'm guessing it never happens though.

Unfortunately for Mr. Tomek there is now an import goaltender rule in the CHL, so thats not an option for him.

I'm not here to throw stones at Peluso or Bismarck High School, but 20 goals doesn't have to happen in a hockey game. At the same time, the goal of hockey is to put the puck into the opponents net. There are two teams, and it is the responsibility of each team to prevent the other team from putting the puck in their goal. If my team is deficient in doing so and the score ends up 24-1 then I'm the type of person that shakes the other team's hands and wishes them well like every other game. Red River was ahead of us 17-0 in the final minute of a game one year and in the last ten seconds they had a kid playing suck hole and he scored as the buzzer rang to make it 18-0. No ill will towards Matt Malm (RIP), its part of the game, and we didn't prevent it from happening and could have played it better. In the coaching world its worse to be on the top of 24-1 than the bottom. One of my final years coaching we played an undermanned team from Walker Minnesota at a holiday tournament and beat them 16-2, with a kid scoring a goal for us in the final minute that would be the only goal he ever scored in high school. I've never felt so bad in a handshake line thinking "he should have just dumped the puck in and lined up for the handshake". Then again, he'll never forget scoring a goal in high school hockey. Am I supposed to tell the kid to just dump the puck in? There is no right answer to that question.
