Guy got hurt. Not good. Never want to see a guy carried off. At the same time the video of the hit should be shown to young defensemen everywhere. Perfect open ice hit on a guy. Didn't jump into him, wasn't charging because he didn't stride into him, kept his elbow tucked and met him shoulder to shoulder so it created minimal chance for any type of contact to the head. Its not easy to officiate a game with the pace of hockey. They need to review hits like this so they can come up with a lame two minute charging call or something like that instead of sending a guy down the runway when all he did was make a clean play where unfortunately a player was hurt.

Brad posted a link on his blog where you can watch it online. If that helps?

Don't know if there is such thing as a Sioux friendly bar down in gooferville. Any Joe Sensor's normally would have it on one of the big screens. Bloomington's I know always does.

Wow, can't believe that I'm still alive...... Knight.

Best of luck to the ladies today. Regardless they'll have to play Minnesota at Ridder arena if they want to win a national championship. Maybe Raty plays like a human today. Just maybe.

Will be a point of discussion all day, but I'm thinking Hak goes with Zane. Best thing for a goalie after shaky play is to get back into the net. At the same time, when you're playing for playoff position and the NCAA tourney, you can't have subpar goaltending show its ugly head at this time of the year. And as a former goalie, crap like that stays with you.... I'll trust Hak's decision tonight.

Thought I'd add another game DQ to Mr. Petan. Rule 45 - Contact to the Head 45.1 Contact to the Head - A player shall not make direct contact from any direction with an opposing player’s head or neck area in any manner (including, but not limited to, with the shoulder, stick, elbow, etc.). PENALTY—Major and game misconduct or disqualification at the discretion of the referee.

Looked some things up in the NCAA rulebook this morning.... A player shall not taunt an official. PENALTY—Misconduct, game misconduct or disqualification, at the discretion of the referee. Fighting or Punching - A player shall not fight an opponent or participate in a fight, on or off the playing surface. A punch thrown may be considered fighting. PENALTY—Disqualification. Guess the fighting one is unclear because it doesn't say anything about two deliberate punches right in front of the official.

That Petan sequence should be shown to youth hockey players....what not to do. Its already been said, but my favorite part is when Knight retaliates, and he acts like he got shot....lays down, but through divine intervention is able regain his health and gets two sucker punches in on Kristo. And if that wasn't enough......the action towards the official? Yeah, it wasn't good last night, but it was a linesman escorting him off.....not one of the head guys. How does the WCHA let him play tonight?

They review goals.....why don't the review possible five minute penalties? Its a pretty big call wouldn't you say? I went over to USCHO last night to do some stat checking, and visited the forum, and of course the Tech fans were outraged because UND took a run at one of their top forwards with a blatant elbow to the head.......I think their radio guy might not have seen a replay.

May have figured the top unit out......if it isn't going to be Rocco, I guess whomever gets Kristo going is fine by me. Can't believe that Drake has gone from being a regular to a bubble guy. What on earth happened to Senkbeil? Wasn't out of the lineup for months, and now we haven't seen him since......ummm.....anyone? I one hundred percent agree with your thoughts on a national championship for this team. Just don't see it happening. I mean Zane goes from being the defensive player of the week to letting in cheapies from the corners and the redline? Rocco can't score to save his life? Mac gets tossed for checking....Its just not adding up. But my wife would tell you I'm always wrong....so maybe.

Tech was feisty in the corners. Absolutely tough to play against in the tough areas. Won a ton of battles and played with a lot of grit. It'll be the same tomorrow night. Hak always uses the term battle level. Well, it needs to go up.....thats for sure.

Thoughts...... ~Tonight the inconsistency was in the net. A win is a win.....but Zane made it interesting. ~Tough to play 40 plus minutes with only five defensemen. ~Puck luck edge to UND....two Tech posts in the third were the difference. ~Rocco has got to find a way to score. So many grade A chances, but just can't put it home. Never be upset about a win. Never.

You talk about one of the most unique games I've ever seen.

Zane........goodness... Has to be Clark tomorrow. Wow Kristo.......

This is kind of similar to the Friday night playoff game last year. BSU seemed to have the better of the play, but UND found a way to win.

Thats why I didn't want to play the beavers......yes they don't have all the talent i the world, yes they haven't won a lot of games. But well coached and scrappy with some good goaltending....and they've played UND recently...... I'll take Tech.

Seems like UND is playing a bit tentative here. Why don't we play in their end. Post for Tech.

Minnesota wins. A game that could have been UGLY.....2-1 in OT.

I need to get my goalie pads out and take Rocco down to university and let him light me up. To prove he can score.

Goal here would be a dagger.

If Petan plays another game this year.....wow....never seen that before....ever.....

Is it safe to assume the officials have lost control? Two punches right in front of Shepherd. Right in front of him......

BSU just missed a great chance.....wow.

I'm not sure how Minnesota hasn't won that game yet.....hockey.....weird sport.
