That is the shot we expect from Frattin. Maybe he will finally get on a roll.

I am going to go out on a limb and guess that you coach mite hockey. Why else would you play a player just for showing up every week

Hextall is already one of the team's leaders and I hope the two regular players that sat out last night watched his intensity and effort last night.

TV gave it to Frattin, Radio gave it to Eidsness

Embellishment, or diving if you prefer ala Robbie Earl. In reality it could be called an unsportsmanlike act.

Absolutely. Those are two players that were expected to be leaders this season. What have they done lately.

Tough to see anything when you fall to your knees before any shot.

I watched the whole game and it ended when MacWilliam got the CFB Major and Misconduct. He may not have gotten any points but he was clearly the anchor on Canada Wests blueliine and he loves to throw the big punishing hits. Plays alot like Matt Greene.

Kristo just assisted on Team USA's fourth goal, feeding Nicastro as he stormed in from the blueline on the powerplay. I can't wait to see Kristo and Cichy in the Kelly Green. Has Nicastro committed to anyone? Then MacWilliam gets a checking from behind and misconduct and the US has made them pa with two PP goals. I think it is safe to say that the third period won't change the outcome of this game. Now Kristo gets a PP goal of his own 7-1 USA.

Cichy with an assist on Team USAs second goal and he scored the third goal, it is 3-1 for Team USA at the end of the first period. It was a Gregoire-like goal from a tough angle. MacWilliam threw the biggest hit of the period with Kristo on the receiving end. I am sure they will talk about that one when they are teammates.

For those of you who can get TSN2 you will have a chance to watch Chichy and Kristo go up against MacWilliam tonight as Team USA plays Canada West in the Junior A Challenge Final from Camrose. Both Chicy and Kristo had an assist in yesterdays Team USA semifinal win over Canada East 5-1. Game starts at 7pm Grand Forks time and one available prospect to keep an eye on during this game is Olsen for Canada West.

I wouldn't have expected this from you. Two Senior D-men are out, they are down a forward playing at 5,000 ft. with pathetic officiating against the number one team. They scored 7 goals on a future NHL goaltender and got a split. Think about it.

And obviously McLeod doesn't think Adam is dog poop either or he would have scraped him off of his shoe a long time ago

When it comes to hockey the World Arena staff and it's fans are probably the most amateur in the entire WCHA. When the opposition scores the play is announced in a very quiet and muffled voice that no one can understand. The fans know very little about hockey and the poor saps don't even realize that they are watching substandard officiating that doesn't matchup up to the quality of the talent that is on the ice. I am speaking from experience, seven years of living in the Springs and attending all Sioux visits.

Hosed by Adams again and again and again. When will someone take him out.

Hextall sounds like he is really get used to this level of play. Watch out WCHA.

No, it was either DeBoer or McMillin.

I think Hextall implied that it wasn't going to be an easy game for Rau.

The issue is that Genoway was hit from behind late in last nights game and there was no call from Don Adams. Zajac and Hextall had words with CC players at the end of the game so it could spill over tonight. It appeared that Chay might have a shoulder injury but nothing official.

Let me guess, another one of their little slappy fights? Then when the other team throws haymakers they are made out to the badguys and goons.

Brad's Blog states that the Sioux lineup won't be finalized until after the warm-ups. He also states that Fienhage is here which I hope means he travelled to C Springs today. Update it is official and here is the lineup: 16 Ryan Duncan--29 Chris VandeVelde--26 Brett Hextall 10 Andrew Kozek--11 Darcy Zajac--20 Matt Watkins 17 Jason Gregoire--19 Evan Trupp--21 Matt Frattin 15 Brent Davidson--8 Ryan Martens--18 David Toews 6 Zach Jones--25 Jake Marto 3 Derrick LaPoint--4 Corey Fienhage 24 Ben Blood--14 Brad Miller 31 Brad Eidsness 30 Aaron Walski Jones okay, Genoway and Lamoureux out. Fienhage and Frattin in.

If the NCAA were indeed calling the shots with respect to WCHA officiating I would like to think that Don Adams would have been canned a long time ago. Sadly someone could loose their life or ability to walk before McClown does anything. Let's see what really was in or out of his hands when a lawsuit arises for incompetent officiating.

Let Hextall sort him out.

There was some of the typical chirping about the goaltending but what would the pro scouts know about Eidness anyway.

The best penalty killer was the Freshman that many of you wanted to see replaced this week.
