"Grieco with the save - and they score on the rebound" That was not a shot that should have led to a difficult rebound.

Oshie with a nice tip on a shot from the point. Good effort so far tonight ...

Dogs leading 3-2. Sioux leading 1-0. Maybe its a night for the underdogs.

Well, OK. What's your point?

Forney hooked - and there's no call .... argh

Grieco with the save AND NO REBOUND!!! Sign of good things maybe?

Kinda ridiculous that a) Shepherd didn't call the hook on Kozek's break, and b) the AR called it when the Head Ref got a look at it.

Conservative start. Last shift, somebody left their guy in front of Grieco - not a good sign. Hey, the women scored a goal today!

Sure. Can you email it to me?

I like the shakeup. Its what is needed. We need to play with urgency, and these look like good combinations to get that done. Chemistry - will be interseting to see how they play with their new 'mates. Go Sioux! Let's get off to break with a nearly 500 record.

This is more fun today than thinking about tonights game . I remember the night of my conception. Went to a party with my dad and came home with my mom. Grew up all over ND - Carrington (on top of the old Busy Bee store), McHenry, Starkweather, Maddock, and finally Kindred. It was a great way to grow up. (Not much to visit, but great for growing up.) UND 77-81, and Rodentland ever since. Oh - and Jofa17 was one of our favorite players in the Farce - worked his aff off every shift.

Hypothetically, I could see Blais interested in being commissioner of the WCHA, if Mcleod were to step down. (He's been in that role for quite a while.) Alternatively, after Lucia takes the job coaching UND's women's team, then Dean would maybe apply for the U of M Men's job.

And a beautiful goal it was! Greene walked around the forwards, walked around the D, cut across the front of net and got it past Fernandez from in close. I tell ya, the guy should be playing forward...

It takes a lot of maturity to make a move like this, a good sign that Hunter Bishop will be successful in whatever he chooses to do. I hope he finds his way back to UND's hockey team, but in any scenario, I'd like to send my Best Wishes.

Sorry HockeyMom, I disagree with you on this one. I remember the same discussions happening just 30 years ago about Sioux women's basketball, which drew 300 fans a game at the time. Lot of people said they would never draw as much as the men. Within my lifetime, which I hope goes for the next 30 years, I believe the Ralph will indeed fill for UND women's hockey. It will take sustained success, and a heated rivalry. (can you spell M-i-n-n-e-s-o-t-a?) I'll call you in 2036 to say I told you so. And to watch your avatar's daughter notch a hat trick against the Gophers.

Phil and family - For whatever it is, I hope it goes away soon and you can get back to doing what you love soon. Best wishes for a swift recovery.

Just to clarify, I don't think everyone is making mistakes. Some guys playing very stupid. Some guys working hard and smart. Very frustrating.

Too many mental mistakes by veteran players who have no excuse. Both last night and tonight. I think the coaches should just bench everyone.

Miller with a great chance. 2:30 left still 3-2.

Too bad otherwise, because Lammy has played OK tonight.

Now its Finley puck-watching. Geez. This team is playing like they just don't give a damn.

Brilliant rush by Oshie-Duncan-Toews. Elliott with the game-saving stop.

Porter with the mental mistake leaving Dowell guy wide open. Unacceptable.

An awful PK that time.

yes, but we need to get our top 6 scoring forwards out there.....
