Nice work by Mac-25 to draw a penalty. I wish that Penalties Drawn was an official stat.

I think they are Connecticut's best team.

Blackhawks with their 17th consecutive tonight ... staying unbeaten. I guess we know which team was most "Serious" during the lockout.

I see some anger in our play tonight, and that's always a good sign.

Thanks for posting. Kind of interesting to go through the Association of American Universities and note those to which UND has had some form of connection in athletics. A foot in the door toward research funding, so to speak, which is, as you note, where the real money is.

Mankato looks solid. They've got enough "skill" players to be dangerous, their defense is better coached this year, and they don't take undisciplined penalties - or at least not as many. We need to be ready for a battle in 3 weeks. MSU up 3-0 on Tech, late in the 2nd.

Thornton won the battle. But Toews won the war.

UNO broadcasters "the final indignity is the coolant leak was green! We've had enough green this weekend." Hilarious.

Obviously, this fight has Dean Blais' support.

In a related story, an urgent call has been issued from downtown Omaha. 15 bars and pubs have issued an urgent call for more alcohol. Emergency response units from Omaha and Council Bluffs have been mobilized.

Oh - and I gotta give credit to Jimmer for getting right up ... no flopping, no milking it.

Smart play by the Omaha forward....

MacWilliam with an All-America type play there to stop a goal.

Thanks for the reminder.

That 2nd period was one of the best road 2nd periods we've played in a long time. Wow.

Gothberg doing a nice job of handling shots so far ... the game seems to be slowing down for him.

B.S. call against Forbort. The definition of interference is NOT whether the other guy falls down! Geez.

Wow, letting Rocco wheel with the puck is the closest thing I've seen to a guaranteed zone entry on the powerplay.

That's just sad ... when a clean body check becomes not just a penalty but a major. Of course, I have to remember its Adam and Anderson.

When the rats start jumping off the ship, there must be a da#^ good reason.

And when he was gone from there, his friends they were drinking all his beer.

Just pointing out that the attendance from this weekend's series (around 40000 plus or minus) will bump Nebraska Omaha's per-game average by about 2200 fans. This would rank them above 19 D-1 men's teams, if that were the only attendance they had all season. Massive.

That. Plus, I was wondering who taught the current Badgers that squirt bottles can be used to start a brawl.

The "General" Tire line. They run over you. They love bumps. They are good under pressure. And they never come out flat.

At the biggest golf party of them all - the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale. Of course there's a guy with a Sioux jersey. (At 1:19 or so...) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PO-qAZ6zP90
