Wow. Notre Dame ties it at 19:59.

Combination of a good PP ... and on the last one, UMD running around a little, and a unlucky bounce at the line. Plenty of time for the Dogs to get it back.

UMD ties it 3-3. Big scramble, multiple whacks. Comcast in the Twin Cities finally started the cable TV broadcast.

Going to OT in Houghton. 2-2.

Kangas allows a very soft goal, leaving a bad rebound right in front. 2-0 early in the second.

Notre Dame 1, Ohio State 0 5 minutes in.

Beautiful goal: http://www.nhl.tv/team/console.jsp?hlg=20082009,2,760 PS Stafford could just as well have had a hat trick too. ... highlights show some great chances.

Already got tix. I'd say better than 50-50 we're in Minneapolis. And instead of 2003/Ferris State, I'm thinking more like 2000 where the Badgers lost and the Gophers watched from the stands.

One great big frickin love fest. Hextall gets two weeks to develop and test special Valentine's Day material. Kozek gets a little time to rest up. Mankato gets some time to heal also....

I might change my mind to favor a BTHC if - and this is key - they took the senior refereeing staff with them.

How big is that season-ending series in Madison looking?

Toews nets two so far tonight. http://www.channelsurfing.net/# Hawks broadcasters - talking about Toews - "when your most talented players are your hardest workers ..."

OR ... whether to go to the DECC and root for the Dogs or sleep.

Boarding minor.

4 left 4-2

Down to 7 left. still 4-2. Other than Lasch, who's been really good, nobody for SCSU has gotten it going in the 3rd. We just have to keep skating for the rest of the game.

From a PWR viewpoint, Wisconsin since we play them four times and UMD only twice. From a MacNaughton view, UMD since WI is in a virtual first place.

Yes

No, the opposite. Think of it was "whoever we play the most games against" is who we want to win. Since UND has 4 games vs MSU and 2 vs MN, it helps us if MSU wins.

Lasch with a superb steal, rush, shot. Miller gets a raspberry there. 2-1 Sioux.
