Couple nice vids featuring today's Sioux hero, Jonathan Toews. He does a very nice interview; impressive as usual. http://www.tsn.ca/canadian_hockey/ (I'm sure the addresses will change later on) And Pierre McGuire "Toews steps up for Canada" http://www.tsn.ca/canadian_hockey/news_sto...canadian_hockey "One of the reasons that I love Jonathan Toews so much is the fact that he's the ultimate competitor. He can win face-offs - like he did in the first period Wednesday against Team USA in a 5-on-3 situation. He can score goals

Based on national rankings, the Sioux are the underdog. Which probably hasn't been the case against Dartmouth since the '70's.

I got a Flickertails sweatshirt from Myles Brand.

Hey at least USA broke Canada's shutout streak, which was at 3.5 games before today.

Looked intentional to me. (Not smart play by EJ.)

... and Blake had 10 SOG in the game .... http://scores.espn.go.com/nhl/boxscore?gameId=261226012

An update, with some good news. http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=2699737 Get well soon, Phil.

It was clear as a bell on the webcast, but I don't think we can say definitively WHO said it. It may have been fans we heard, b/c I'm pretty sure there were voices from the stands with adjectives for the ref too ....

Let's see, what else to cheer up a Dogs fan. I remember Mark Pavelich beating UND in 1979 with a behind the back pass on a 2 on 1 (we were all like "did he just do what I thought he did?")... and Curt Giles scoring with 3 seconds left at the DECC in 1978. And there's that overtime win over UND at the 1984 Frozen Four semifinal. I have to go eat and drink, explode my stomach, and watch a cRummy movie. It seems to be the trend, and misery loves company.

Yeah, agree. He also gave some rationale for pulling Grieco, which was to boost the team which he noted had sagged after giving up goals, without using a TO.

Yes, I remember them both vividly, having seen both in person.

Postgame interview with Hak: TH: "should we just replay last nights interview" DH: "OK" [/end] PS, well almost. It was the shortest, most predictable interview I've ever heard. Hak admitted to being frustrated, which is a first.

We feel your pain.

Tech won 3-2.

All the top teams lost guys to the pros. And any of them would be unstoppable if they hadn't lost top players to the pros.

If you read the book on covering the puck in the crease, that's it. It should be a Penalty Shot, but of course it won't be called.

Kaip and Radke going into the crease for a loose puck. I like it. Need more.

6 left, back to 5x5, still 2-3.

HEY! I just realized we didn't lose the second period! WOOOO!!!!

"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?
