1 minutes left 3-1 mavs

http://siouxsports.com/hockey/rankings/pwr/ Sioux are a #1 seed!!!! For the next 10 minutes anyway! OK, I'm bored.

Tigers score again - 4-1 early in the second

We get to have it both ways? Ferris wins, thereby proving you both suck. OK by me.

WOW - I guess that pretty much "proves" how good the bottom of the CCHA is. :RME:

Comcast 23 ... normally a shopping channel. Hope hockey gets better ratings (The real explanation is that Comcast is battling Big Ten Network by beaming non-Gopher sports into the Twin Cities to put pressure on BTN.)

OLE!! OLEOLEOLE! OLE! OLEOLEOLE! OLE! Mankato leads UAA 3-1 in the second. You'd think hearing that song once would be enough to get UAA to play defense.

One hint is how pleased The Dasher-Dancing Gwoz was to announce Trotter signed during the season. Lucia's reaction was more real.

Peltier is a medieval dickweed.

OLE!! OLEOLEOLE! OLE! OLEOLEOLE! OLE! Mankato leads UAA 2-1 in the second. Game on cable in the Twin Cities - same as the Sioux-Mavs a couple weeks ago.

Michigan has played enough WCHA and top-teams to really know how they stack up - which is pretty well. Miami hasn't.

Its just hard to believe that a game thread - a single game - is closing in on 1000 posts. Come on, let's pad those post counts.

UH OH!! In case you hadn't heard, Randy Schmidt got demoted to reviewing post game fights. We're in deep doo doo.

Because the referee is an oxymoron, without the oxy.

Yeah, but this is old time hockey.

Now we get what is probably a makeup call - Wheeler.

WOOO!!! Mankato goes up 2-0 on Denver early in the second. http://www3.mnsu.edu/athletics/

I'm happy to have gotten out of the first 0-0. We killed off 9 minutes of powerplays, and I'm sure our top guys are gassed, and the guys who don't kill penalties are ready to fly. Look for some interesting shifts in the second.

What a terrific kill!! Still 0-0 5:30 in.

Geez, Duncan. 5 minute major CFB.

GAME ON!!!

I just think keeping Minnesota off the board will hurt their morale... they start pressing and lose interest. On the other hand, if they get a couple on the board, their whole bench gets going. I'll take 0-0 after 40 if that's what we have to do ... because I think we'll win the 3rd.

I thought Martens played REALLY well last Friday, but he sat Saturday and that line was not effective without him. His skating continues to improve, and with some playing time he's reading the plays much better.

Keys to the game tonight: 1) No odd-man rushes ... be patient. If we don't give them an easy goal, they might not get any. 2) Work the ref. No stickwork, and if you feel the tug, go down. This incompetent crew only calls hooks and trips if the guy falls. (While letting real penalties go uncalled ...) Don't give them powerplays. 3) Move the feet, pressure the puck carrier and get presence on the puck.
