DU-CC all tied up at 2!

1-0 Sioux 4:05 left in the 2nd period

2:01 into the game CC scores on a power play - this after Paukovich blew a short handed breakaway. . . . gotta love that!! 1-0 CC

In case anyone is interested, in CCHA action Ferris State beat Ohio State 3-0.

0-0 2nd intermission

I am looking at my tickets right now and the Friday ticket only lists the 5:30 game. However, when I look at my TicketMaster receipt, it is noted as NCAA West Regional Tournament Pass, so I assume that one ticket covers both games and we will not have to leave the arena?

Peter Forsberg & Henrik Lundqvist. . . . . . . . .need I say more?

Thank you, ND Pride! I greatly appreciate the quick answer!!

Can anyone tell me who won Coach of the Year? Our news failed to report that part.

Last score I had heard was 4-3 Minnesota. . . not sure if that was a final or not.

About 30 seconds left 4-0 Finland. . . game over. Great game! Will be a great Gold medal game on Sunday!

Wow - What a PLAY!! Jokinen makes it 4-0 Finland with 10 1/2 to play. I'm gonna go out on a limb and take Finland/Sweden in the gold medal game. How's that for a prediction? On another note, man, does Finland play perfect defense or what? The whole team gets involved and just isn't giving Russia anything to work with. I LOVE it!!

5 minutes into the 3rd period. Russia seems to be trying for the long breakaway pass.

Too funny!

2nd period ends. . . .Finland up 3-0. Finland is, in my opinion, taking it to the Russians a bit. They also appear to be getting stronger as the game goes on. Wow, if this continues, the Gold Medal game will be AWESOME! I have to give this period to the Finns....they have been very effective shutting down Ovechkin. Wonder if Malkin playing would have made any difference?

Sooooo, is that a compliment?

WOW - I am impressed. Finland killed off the 2 man advantage. Nittymaki looks great and defensively Finland is unbelievable! Still 3-0 Finland 1 1/2 to go in the period.

Oops, Saku Koivu trying to hug one of the Russians along the boards. . . now they go down 2 men.

Finland takes a penalty. See if Russia can generate any offense here.

LOVED it!! I was amazed that he wasn't dazed and confused after that hit!

13:51 of 2nd - Saku Koivu scores a power play goal - 3-0 Finland

13:24 of 2nd. . .Russia takes a hooking penalty. Finland goes back on the power play.

9:33 of 2nd period - Lydman scores for Finland. 2-0 (BTW: Russia's power play ended prior to that, they had 2 shots on goal.)

Russia back on the power play.

4 1/2 minutes into 2nd. Still 1-0 Finland.
