At least not all Gopher fans are wearing their shades and calling it like that. It was pretty freaking clear to me that Rau's arms went high when he hit Zucker. I gotta say I am surprised about the suspension. As Dagies said, Kristo should've served a suspension in that case.

Erm, I've been looking at the close-up footage of it on the Gopher Post-Game and Rau had his arms up high when landing the hit on Zucker. Hell, even Woog agreed that his arms were up high. You can see Zucker's head ricochet off the plexiglass.....

Hear, hear. I wish both teams could lose.

I guess teams that wear maroon & gold like goonin it up at same time. Maybe UMD and UMN are on the 'cycle' together?

Looks pretty good when FSN broadcasts the UND-UMN games at the Ralph in HD.

Despite that very bad hit on Blood by JT Brown, the kid can play hockey. And I agree with Burd. Sioux really dominated the play and effort.

Yeah, they do great hockey broadcasts. The announcers are also good.

That was a very, very ugly hit. Did not look good at all. I hope Mattson is alright. He's been great for us.

Sioux played a solid 1st period. Keep it going! GO SIOUX!

They are a manufactured rival created by the WCHA since we needed to be paired with somebody. They are a just an opponent that UND needs to beat to win/earn points.

If people were wanting to read a bit of the Seth Jones article that was in the recent issue of ESPN Magazine, a member on HFBoards posted a portion of the article: http://hfboards.hock...75&postcount=76 Note to Mods: I wasn't too sure if this would be violating the copyright rule so I've refrained from actually copy/pasting the article onto here and provided a link instead. It's HFBoards' problem is how I look at it.

I'm sorry but that was bs that led to that Wisconsin goal. MacWilliam was tripped and I can't believe they didn't see it.

Pattyn's. Nice birthday gift to himself. His first career goal playing for UND.

If he isn't, hopefully Koules was impressed enough and will talk how awesome UND was. Having both Koules and Jones on the team would be great.

It's in the most recent issue. I tried viewing the magazine online, they offer a free preview of a couple pages of the issue but not the actual article. It's mentioned in the index page of it though. Gotta pay for ESPN Insider membership to be able to read the whole thing.

Indeed. I have to say he's been doing much better than I would expect given the circumstances.

I'll take the split. Go Sioux! Games against Wisconsin are going to be pretty interesting.

I think you may be right. Matteau has been suspended for 7 USHL games as a result of end of game altercation in a game against Cedar Rapids on December 16th. Seems like he went ballistic... Only place where I see it listed as 7 games is on this website: http://www.dropyourg...spx?Game=378408 But also saw a reference about it on finishyourcheck.com which has a USHL discussion board: http://finishyourche...st__p__14716973 Also gleaned from that website that Minot, ND native Alex Schoenborn has signed with the Portland Winterhawks of the WHL. That's too bad to lose a chance on a North Dakota kid.

I'd rather have the kid say he isn't attending UND rather than him pulling a JT Miller at the 11th hour move. If the kid wants to go play for daddy, I hope he doesn't jerk UND's chain around in regards to making the decision.

I think the only person out of those three that you have to worry about leaving early after 1 or 2 years is Fasching.

Exactly, if anyone truly expected Fasching to land anywhere but Minnesota they must've known something everyone else didn't. Either way it is a solid pick up for Minnesota none the less. We just need to land another JToews caliber Canadian or something.

Nope, he would've graduated after the 2009-2010 season. He was in the same recruiting class as Chris VandeVelde.

I can concede/agree to that.

Well Mankato needs those kind of wins. While what tnt linked is a valid point, how often does that kind of comeback happen? Pretty special to see when it does happen though. Like I said though, I have nothing against continuing to score if it happens. I enjoyed the 11 goals the Sioux scored against Tech last year in a game.

Considering I wasn't conceived until 89'....nope. That's cool though!
