Slash on Malone. SCSU PP coming up.

Sweeney said Kozek ... we maybe got away with a penalty on that one.

HALFTIME: SOG 15-3. 3? are you sh###ing me? against SC? Still 0-0

VV knocks the net off the moorings, as he shoots the puck in. Would have clearly been a goal if not for the net moving. If the puck crossed the line BEFORE it goes off the moorings, its a goal. If after, its not. NO GOAL.

Kill me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Roseau also wear green and white? It's an omen.

St Cloud with some pressure - Nodl/Lasch line. Kaip line matched up with them, and this was the best pressure the other guys have had all night.

2nd period starting ... OSHIE! with a good chance. and MARTENS! off the post

Interesting penalty sequence: Zajac gets 2 minutes for slashing Boyle, Parise steps in and gets a fighting major, but Boyle gets 4 for instigating, 5 for fighting and a 10-minute misconduct. Maybe our boy Parise stepped in to defend his teammate. Zach with a Goal also. Just needs an assist for a Gordie Howe hat trick. EDIT: and in St Paul, Gleason draws a trip in OT, 4-4 Edina and Benilde ... PP coming up.

Kaip-VV-Watkins with 2 great chances at the 18 minute mark. 2: left in 1st, still 0-0. I think SCSU got a shot in there somewhere. I didn't see it.

11: left, still 0-0 Teams feeling each other out. Looks like we're matching lines.

Ole oleoleole ole ole Mankato scores first 1-0 vs Tech.

8:30 in. SOG UND 5 SCSU 0 We look to have good jump so far. STill 0-0

Miller hooked at center. At least that's a hook in any other LEAGUE IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!

Question - anyone out there wanting bona fide updates? I know that's been the case in recent weeks. Just checking. 16: left, 0-0.

Gleason with the Sweet Goal. I'm skipping the Wild, and have rodents on the radio.

FYI, as usual, Comcast is carrying WCHA hockey - tonight its the Mankato vs Tech game, which just dropped the puck. If you are in the Twin Cities or Minnesota, you may be able to pick it up.

Gleason with ANOTHER goal ... hard slapper from the left point. I think he should turn college in the middle of the season.

1) Go to google earth 2) Search on Ralph Engelstad Arena 3) Draw a circle with radius of 400 yards. 4) There's your hub.

Time to bring out an oldie - doubtless TJOshie has gotten better since 2005: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZACw1sVuPs#

Gleason's season is over on Saturday at the latest. Maybe he could join the team next weekend ....

Two of those were empty-netters. Except for the one (nightmare) game vs UNH, its 2 goals in 6 games.

Well, now that you mention it, Michigan and Michigan State were originally WCHA teams. Plus Hockey East really improved after that interlocking schedule in the 1980's, so we can count them as WCHA schools. That makes it: WCHA 12 CCHA 1 ECAC 1 AHA 1 CHA 1 Hockey East 0 Does that look better?

Even the best coaches need a couple recruiting classes. Let's give the new guy a chance.

I don't see a Saturday fight as a possibility. SCSU needs all their guys on board for whoever they play in Round 1, just like UND does. However, nobody should rule out a Friday fight. Guys get their game served on Saturday, and get back in the lineup for the playoffs. Unlikely the Sioux start it, b/c of the injuries, but if SC throws down the gauntlet, I can see one of our non-suspended guys calling their bluff (Davidson, VV, Jones).
