Looks like it's a final.....Grafton 2, Mandan 0. Grafton outshot Mandan 49 - 23.

Wow...did Bismarck High really outshoot Fargo North 43-9?

After 2 periods.....Grafton 2, Mandan 0.

Looks like it's final...4-0 Bismarck.

Bismarck High 3 Fargo North 0 3rd period with under 10:00 to play.

Another location to get scores is here. This is the Rinkwriter site, which is the program they use to do the scoresheets. You can click on each game's scoresheet to see the stats, however I believe it may only be updated after each period (or maybe not until the game is over). In the upper left corner there is an "In Progress" box, and I believe the score will update every X minutes of the game.

I wonder if the code includes a 2 on 1 fight in the troll's eyes? That must be why he pushed 1 player to go help out Vossberg!

North vs Devils Lake @ 2:30 South vs Central @ 5:00 Grafton vs RR @ 7:30 Not sure about the radio stations.

Congratulations, I've never seen a coach argue about a delay of game or unsportsmanlike conduct when the fans throw hats on the ice!!! You don't like it, then don't let Andrew Kozek score a hat trick against your team, dummy.

Any updates on the games today?

What is Gwozdecky bitching about now?

Tarek Howard = GREAT guy, not so great color man!

KOZEK!!!!

I'm sure this has been talked about earlier in the thread, but why is the AR (Freeman?) wearing a black reffing jacket instead of his normal zebra suit? EDIT: Are both of the AR's wearing jackets?

I didn't see the 1st period, but from what little I read out here it seemed pretty good. What happened? The Sioux look uninspired, un-enthusiastic, flat-footed...what's the deal? This looks horrible.

Yeah, I agree with you there. It would make no sense for a DU player to drop the gloves. If I was a DU player and a Sioux player tried to get me to drop the gloves, I'd just chuckle and go on my way.

Might be time for someone to drop 'em tonight. If so, better do it quick to light a fire.

Boy, the Sioux look like they're playing with about as much enthusiasm as the "color man" that's announcing with Sweeney. Could someone wake them up - and the announcer as well?

If you had any credibility left, I would tell you that you just lost it. However, since you lost your credibility a long time ago, I guess you have nothing to lose now, eh?!

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere: Spirit Lake Sioux UND grads want voices to be heard on nickname controversy

The Bears were here for only 1 year and played in the Moorhead Sports Center - not sure what happened there. However, I would contend that if you put the Sharks in the UP Center they would have been here longer, or would still be here. A big part of it is ownership, and I don't know much about either the Bears or Sharks ownership - I have confidence in the MSF that the Force will do well. Again - maybe it's just me being overly optimistic, but I'm going to continue to be!

I agree, and I'm sure they will be doing this since the MSF is a "charity" where their profits go back to the youth hockey organizations (Raiders, Flyers and Angels). I'm not sure how that will go now since they had to "donate" the arena to Fargo Parks. I was really hoping they would not have to do that.

I agree that Fargo gets absolutely no support from the community or public support and I think that is completely rediculous. True enough that the novelty of the rink will only last so long, but with Blais at the helm (hopefully for a while) and if the team is successful on the ice the Force will stay in Fargo. One thing you have to remember is that these kids playing here will be the same kids that you're rooting for when they go on to play for the Sioux or rooting against when they go on to play for Minnesota, Denver, CC, Wisconsin, etc. There will be some quality kids playing quality hockey in a quality arena - that's a good combination. One thing that the Force must do (and they are doing this) is to try as best they can to schedule home games when the Sioux are on the road. Not sure what you meant about "If this doesn't work, this may effectively kill the NAHL...". There's no way that the Jets can stay in Fargo with the Force coming to town, so this will be the Jet's last year here. There certainly are a few things that have to go right - but consider me an optimist.

While I certainly wouldn't call Fargo "Hockeytown", I do think things will begin to change for the better once the UP Center is up and running. The Force will not fail like the Bears and Sharks (and soon to be the Jets) did. NDSU - now that is a whole different issue.
