Bad memory - this was BC goal 3 at the 7 minute mark. BC goal 4 came after the Oshie shortie and the Finley "elbow." We had a FO in our zone at the top of the circle with just a few seconds left to kill on Porters penalty - we lost the draw and positioning and BC scored to make it 4-3.

The call against Finley was questionable indeed. However, some the blame should go to Finley for being out of position when the hit was made. You can see it for yourself on the You Tube clip. We are on the PK and a BC forward gains the zone on the far side, being checked by a Sioux forward. The play continues to the corner with the Sioux forward still engaged with the BC player (remember we are killing a penalty at this time). Instead of holding his ground, Finley decides to join the play, which itself is a risky play at that point - creating essentially a 4 x 2 out numbered situation in our own zone. Again, I did not like the call but Finley made multiple mistakes on this play, his penalty being just one of them.

I thought both coaches were very classy - it will be nice to play them over the next 4 years.

Observations: The game looked very similar to the F5 champ game vs MINN

Re: Finley's last penalty - You can dispute the call - IMO he probably shouldn't have been near the guy in the first place - if you look at the replay he was checking a BC player in the corner that was already covered while we were killing a penalty - there was no reason to double up on the puck in that situation. If he plays his position, he doesn't make that check and get the penalty.

Is today a one ticket event - like the Final Four BB semis?

While looking for photos I found this blog by Dennis Fermoyle, TJ's HS coach from Warroad. http://publiceducationdefender.blogspot.co...of-peers_25.htm

My bad - 05/06 WJC were in Vancouver. Caption: How do you like my swift, commie!

Nice article PCM. Did Nike debut the "swifts" at the WJC in GF - or was at Turino in '06? I know USA and Canada wore swifts at this years WJC in Sweden.

One difference is that the Sioux were a dominant team from start to finish - they only lost 8 overall, 4 WCHA reg season/undefeated at home vs WCHA. http://siouxsports.com/hockey/history/ncaa8687.htm Individual stats were off the charts. 3 first team All Am. (Hrkac, Joyce, Kidd - Belfour 2nd team) http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/leagues...0005821987.html http://www.ahcahockey.com/allamer/1987.html

Dave Christian and Mike Ramsey would be good additions to the list as well - they both played over 1000 games in the NHL.

This is probably why they made the comment re: Dane Jackson http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?s=...st&p=178955

This team is better than the '97 team - and there is no definative favorite like Mich was in '97. The only thing that is the same is that we will win.

Genoway has been surprisingly good this year - especially his play with the puck - I wouldn't worry about him.

Should we expect CCHA officials for the UND - BC game? Any guesses who that might be/what kind of game they call?

I believe HE officials worked the games in Denver - I would take them over WCHA boys any day.

Actually I thought he did a nice job breaking down the game, no excuses, Sioux were better team 2nd half of the game and OT. No cheerleading. It would have been nice to hear from the Sioux, at least some comments from the press conference. Woog was pretty good, as good as Doug could be, after the game, giving props to Porter.

Black Nike Fit Jerseys = Sioux Win

If cable companies around the country will be able to access the game live via sat, shouldn't a sportsbar be able to do the same thing?

I believe the NCAA BBall regionals are 2 games/1 ticket.

I know this is pretty obscure but does anyone know if the rink at the Pepsi Center will be configured "NCAA/room behind the net" style vs. "NHL/smaller neutral zone-less room behind the net? I know it is subtle but it could effect play, especially power plays - at the X/F5, there was more room for the D to move on the PP - it also could effect how teams cycle/forecheck.

McDonagh isn't bad either.

This is a post from USCHO TV thread - Originally Posted by HockeyMan2000 For those in RI, Cox Sports Television (Ch. 3) is picking up a good amount of the games as usual: Friday 6:00pm, Maine vs. St.Cloud State 8:30pm, Boston Univ. vs. Michigan St. (Joined in Progress) Saturday 11:00am, Massachusetts vs. Clarkson (tape delay from Friday 2:30pm) 1:00pm, New Hampshire vs. Miami, OH 4:30pm, Boston College vs. St. Lawrence 7:30pm, North Dakota vs. Michigan 8:30pm, Midwest Final (Joined in Progress) Sunday 12:00pm, East Finals (tape delay from Saturday 6pm) 3:30pm, Northeast Finals It looks like some cable companies around the country are showing the UND/Mich game live - which means they are getting a live feed from ESPNU/NCAA. Shouldn't a bar be able to pick up the same feed?
