He's almost a year older than Johnny!! Toews.

We could squeeze one more onto the Sioux bandwagon.

THe last 4 years, the number of early departures is even for UND vs MN. Long list for both. Lucia seems surprised. Hakstol doesn't.

Thank you for playing along.

Thanks Taz. Gophers do look gassed. But they have the high-pressure forecheck DOWN this last month.

Why did the Gophers put in Frazee?

The Arrogant Ones are about to start the 3rd Period vs. The Arrogant Ones. 2-1 Arrogance leads.

Like heck. How do explain Shepherd, Shepherd, and their buddy reffing the Miami vs AFA game? Winner of which plays who ...____? CLEARLY The Shep Crew forced the lesser team to win game 1. [/satire off]

Muse looks awful. But its BC 2-1 late in the second.

If Wisconsin is really that bad, it should be an easy game tomorrow.

It would be 1-1 if not for a boneheaded play by Fischer (on BC's first goal).

6-2 1 minute left

4 minutes in and Clarkson is 2 goals better than the Sioux were last year in the opener vs Michigan. 0-0

"... hauled down in OT, no call ..." Sounds all too familiar.

ESPNU definitely sent the #1 broadcast team to the AFA vs Miami game. Like both guys.

Agree. I think backing down on the physical play was the right decision. What beat CC yesterday? Powerplays. What beat SCSU? (other than the fact they are SCSU) PPG. Yes, it took us off our game but we didn't give them PP's. In a strange way, I'm OK with allowing the last minute goal. Maybe put a little anger back in the locker room.

Money can't save them today.

The PU goalie makes one big mistake and Duncan makes him pay. Can't expect gifts from Mannino (or UW).

I know. I know. Oooh. Ooh. The guys deliberately gave Princeton some great chances there so that Lammy's Hobey Highlight video could be longer. Give the voters a good look at the best goalie in the country.

Malone moving his feet ... drawing the call. (Everybody pay attention to the moving the feet thing.)

Good thing we're not playing Denver again this period...

Even so, it would good if Lamoureux got at least 1% of the vote.

Wow, what a game in CO tonight. If there's any team in college hockey that can come from 3 down after 2, it would be CC. But they've dug themselves a huge hole.

Game 2 underway in the Springs. CC audio:http://www.coloradocollege.edu/athletics/varsity_sports/Hockey/listen.asp

Meanwhile ... China steals one in the second end. 2-0 after 2 ends. Upset in the making.
