or maybe Finley will teach him a few things . And I don't think Finley should leave just yet he's shown a lot of progress in the second half of the season. I think another year would be great for him and the team . As for Toews he's ready to go but it's up to him whether or not he wants to stay another year and have another shot at a national title and conditioning or start making money. Hopefully Brian Lee doesn't leave. Sure he made me angry a couple of games where he made stupid mistakes but he's also shown some great defensive work. In the end I hope NO underclassmen leave! ^_^

Well for the most part a lot of people gave there appreciation to the seniors in the game thread or in some other thread for the most part which is probably why there are only a few posts in here. But still no excuse to not show appreciation to them in a thread dedicated to them! It was fun watching Porter, Fabian, and Foyt(still remember that St. Lawrence goal you scored). You were all terrific seniors! Good luck to you in life after college and thanks for sticking around 4 years

The announcers said that the Assistant Referee called the penalty not Shep. However, whether or not if the announcers were correct I do not know.

It sure does pass the time. Never said it didn't. Just making a self-declaration that I was taking all the speculation as a grain of salt.

Not really they didn't lose two years in a row in a game for the National Title. I think that's worse than just bowing out in the semifinal.

man, if I was a BC fan I would be in a worse state than I was when the Sioux lost on thursday. I mean 2 national championship games in a row and nothing to show for it...that's really heartbreaking.

Spartans put the nail in the coffin by scoring an empty netter. MSU 3 BC 1 FINAL. Congratulations to the Spartans! They deserve it! I didn't want the east to win the title. This is a great win for MSU and the CCHA as a whole.

Thanks to all the people who are reassuring that Oshie isn't leaving. But right now I consider it all hearsay and I'm gonna way until I see him on the ice next season or see an announcement that he signed with the Blues.

Well here's something to be happy about! Even though the season came to an end for the Sioux we at least got something to smile about...Ryan Duncan won the HOBEY!!! woohooo!!! Congrats Ryan you deserve it even though I know you'd rather have won a National Title with the team instead of getting the individual award. Now we have 2 Sioux players who have won the Hobey!! Panzer was robbed?!?!?

Exactly, Jpar said he was going to stay another year but then off he goes.

Lee gone? I can't imagine seeing him leave. He is not ready to turn pro yet. This year he's been inconsistent at best. He's shown some signs of being a great Defenseman but other times looks like he's still playing high school hockey. I think he'll stay another year at the very least.

Were you watching the game? From what I saw the second line was doing a lot of work. The DOT line was effectively contained and the second line stepped up. One line team? I think not. Two line team? possibly so

I agree the WCHA wasn't as good as it has been the past several years. That can be partially attributed to the huge amount of player defections that came from the conference itself. Every one in the WCHA virtually had what you can call a "young" team. I think Hakstol is just warming himself up to win 3 national championships in a row now!!

I guess there extra faceoff practicing worked out for them pretty well =/

And here I thought 3rd time was the charm.

I can agree with you. I'm not even going to watch the championship game now...unless I'm bored and have nothing else better to do. Congrats to BC though and good luck to them winning #3 even though the Spartans got my fan support. Also as I've said before this loss wasn't as stinging and painful as the 1-0 to Denver in the regionals a few years back. That was truly our year IMO!!

I am to Just imagine how the team is feeling right now

Is it October yet?? DUNCAN FOR HOBEY!!!

Thank you pstar for the kind comment.

Didn't think of that, I was thinking eastern biase!!

The amount of times they showed BC fans during breaks was also very sickening. They showed BC fans 10x more than they showed a Sioux fan. Grossing me out >.<

You reserve a tee time for us?

I'm gonna miss Porter, Fabian, and yes even Foyt. I'm also sad cause the possible departure of our star players like Toews and Oshie is very foreboding...

That finley penalty really screwed us...

We score...but it's a little to late just like last season.
