Nice to see the referees finally penalize the Canadian antics.

Providence upon Vermont 2 to 0 after 2. Beneficial to our PWRs if it holds

If Hutchinson goes .944 and 1.67 (his current stats), then most definitely. Otherwise, no.

Worst of all, Bye was playing with a split squad. Ugh.

Because as long as Bowling Green is in a different conference just for hockey ... Tension will exist. P.S. I am happy Miami stepped up to NCHC.

This would be a good night to give McIntyre a game off.

Here's hoping Jordan Schmaltz brings his A game tonight. He was pretty much invisible last night.

This sucks. Great effort but nothing to show for it.

If they showed a replay on Pioneervision, I missed it. But I thought it was Mcintyre to Chyzyk to Schmaltz.

Pioneer Defensemen with bad fundamentals again on the 2-1 for the 3rd goal ... failure to stop the pass. Nice to see us bury the chance again.

Zane on the scoresheet with a great feed to chyzyk

Ladue with a 2:45 shift to start the second period. That's gotta hurt. Especially if you are a mile high.

yup. http://www.mankatofreepress.com/sports/flu-outbreak-cancels-msu-hockey-game/article_3e6cd03e-8300-11e4-a7c0-87613883442b.html

Just a quick note that UNH was hosting a D-1AA quarterfinal football game tonight. Which appeared to be well attended.

Now Denver needs to score and take the crowd out of this one.

You know that's right.

Denver had already sold an exclusive to ROOT sports before nchc.tv was created. When that expires, I expect nchc to cover their home games too.

I wish I had interchangeable parts.

The great equalizer in college hockey is the 18 full rides. Every night, there's guys out there playing major minutes that must be on partial scholarships (basic math, right?). That's a big reason for Penn State getting competitive quickly (plus facilities and coaching). And if ASU does it right, they can do it as well.

The guys are firing high and that makes a lot of sense on the Lake State goalie.

BU vs Merrimack is on ESPN3. Didn't know ESPN did hockey ... well now that I think about it its not lacrosse season yet. Merrimack up 1-0 early 2nd period.

I think that WIsconsin will win the Big Ten Easy conference tournament and knock UND out at the last minute.

Here's one view of it. People can decide for themselves whether its patriotic or not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmyatm0t3Bg

Bemidji State with 2 quick goals to go up 3-1 on St Cloud ... middle of 3rd.

3 of the last 6 goals we've conceded have come off UND defenders. We're due for a little puck luck. I'd love to see Poolman playing defense tonight. The question would then be which other defenseman gets moved up front to cover his spot .... Mattson? (I can't see Schmaltz getting moved there, despite his recent weak play.) There was also a message sent by coaching staff in dropping Mattson from the top powerplay unit in favor of Poolman. Would love to see Stecher in that spot. I thought Stecher had another solid game. And Ausmus still reminds me of James Patrick at the same age. Terrific lateral quickness ... I liked that he played with a chip on his shoulder, especially during the early part of the game last night.
