As sprig says below, the CFB was really on Malone, and get this, Malone hit him with his back, actually probably his butt. Malone was turning around to head back toward the center of the ice and as he turned he hit the badger who was moving laterally along the boards. It was a questionable call IMO. Certainly wasn't on Hextall. I watched the replay about a dozen times and Hextall did nothing wrong.
Totally agree about goaltending. It was 2-1 and a clearing shot came down into the Sioux zone early-mid 2nd period and Eidsness seemed to struggle with it. Right there I was ready to pull him. I'm not sure they were all his fault but I think 1-2 of those Gudmonson probably stopped tonite. We needed those stops.
Sioux seemed to play 1 really good game this weekend. Unfortunately it was parts of both nights.
