I will say, Tyler Young can’t do stuff like that in the post season, because if the refs view it differently, it could be a major that could potentially end your season, and the good will you have with the fans can be jaded by one dumb play.

Haven’t seen anything, is that true?

Talk about parity, depending on tiebreakers, it looks like 4 or 5 teams can win the CCHA title tomorrow on the last game of the season.

So, I think they said that our 22nd conference championship is a record. Now we need to work on catching up for the most National Championships!

Would imagine Littler might play tomorrow as well, and possibly Klee if he is cleared to play from his injury.

I think he does put in Homer, which he may use to help prevent the usual letdown after winning the Penrose. He may tell them to play hard for their teammate, since most likely it will be the last game he plays for UND.

Well, in that game prevent would have won. All they had to do is tie up a faceoff.

Ohio State gave up a 3 goal lead to Penn State last week, so won’t count my chickens just yet.

Not Swanson.

Yes, after leading the league all year, you don’t want to push it to the last game on the road in a hostile environment. That would be a lot of pressure, and while that might give us a precursor to post season play, I would rather we take care of business tonight and lock down the #1 seed.

Minnesota already has MacArthur and Geiger as 2009 recruits on defense from the NDTP.

Especially if they don’t play as well as they did in the Olympics.

Exactly, just do your thing, no requirement to explain it to the media or anybody else. In fact I hope more athletes start telling the media that their question has nothing to do with the sport they are covering.

Don’t understand this chart at all, considering we are 4th in shooting percentage in college hockey, as well as 4th in goals per game. I will take that any day of the week.

In retrospect, the best thing that could have happened for the U.S. was Jeremy Swayman struggling in the opener. I know there were many, including myself, that weren’t convinced Hellebuyck had the “it” factor, so was wondering if they would go with Oettinger or Swayman. Who knows what happens if Swayman has a decent outing in the first game instead of the disaster with the shot from center ice. I am thankful it worked out great for the U.S.!

Cole Caulfield, and Jason Robertson were two big ones for the U.S. that were left off for players with a different skill set.

Hopefully Canada losing will help make a push to get rid of it.

Actually, 3 & 4 with +3, so yeah much better than I thought. I probably skewed it by wanting someone to step up when we couldn’t even get a sniff, especially on our 4 minute power play which was abysmal. Being the goal scorer that he is, I wish he would have been a little more selfish on some of the early chances, but I will say the team as a whole got into a pure defensive posture out of the 5-3 power play by Canada, which isn’t conducive for any one individual to turn it around when the transition game just wasn’t there.

Meaning what?

I think I would give out the trinket doll first, then give them the big prize with the medals.

Is the USA captain Matthews? He hasn’t really led by example this tournament. All is good if you do something in overtime though. Ever since that 5-3 power play for Canada, the momentum has been with them.

Better take another look at that Johnny Gaudreau jersey, or better yet, the USA on the front of your jersey.

Chaves was acting on your advice.

Why not just throw out the biggest jinx and say there is no way we lose?

What did they do in Omaha a few years back?
