Stafford comes through with a SH goal. Way to go Drew.

Ottawa is up 4-1 on Tampa with 5 minutes to play. Bochenski has an assist.

UNH Announcers seemed pleasantly surprised to hear the Gophers were losing.

Parise, is on his game stopping McFly right on his doorstep

MSU gets it right back 2-1

Yeah, Woog he is not and is actually not too painful to listen too.

Wow goal Oshie, perhaps St Louis got the steal of the draft.

A game thread has been started

Those of us outside of radio coverage are stuck with the UNH broadcast as once again the wonderful Audio feed is down.

The UNH announcers just called Duncan a little waterbug, so heres hoping that he stings them and shows them what he really is.

I agree with the split and I am even hoping that the large ice surface will enable the Sioux talent to really come through offensively. It would have been nice to have Sparky but maybe this will be a big weekend for Watkins.

Now that it has been established as a medical condition vice an attitude problem, which it should have been 6+ months ago, nothing more should be said of Hirsch on this site other than to wish him a speedy and successful recovery.

Nothing has changed about his play as in the two games against Maine he had 3 penalties for a total of 17 minutes. I don't know the details other than that he had 0 points and was -1 for the weekend. I believe he will have the attention of the officials this season and will be a detriment to the Pies. I only hope he doesn't take out another Sioux player next weekend.

A hand injury they say. Does this mean they have started punching the walls earlier this season. Old Lucy must be messing with their fragile Gopher psyche again.

In further support of the fact that Sioux players don't get the national recognition they deserve just take a look at the All-USCHO teams http://www.uscho.com/news/id,10802/WCHAECA...USCHOTeams.html How does a sieve like Schneider (recall the Sioux rout of BC and his play a the World Juniors) get consideration over a Jordan Parise or several other goaltenders in the NCAA for that matter.

I think that the USA today poll might be a little closer to the mark with the Sioux at #6 http://www.uscho.com/rankings/?data=usatoday&week=poll

Based on what we saw of their play, Coach Cronin the Barbarian and his NE thugs could challenge the NCAA team season record for penalties.

Here's the story and I think he was happy. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=140062&hubname=

Although it won't be reflected in the stats I believe that Prpich was the player of the game followed closely by Radke

The only highlight of the period thus far was Prpich's big hit. A real beauty!

NE player holds on to Toews stick to save a goal. PP Sioux
