Not anymore at the imperial palace. I was there in late February, and out of all the casinos the MGM Grand was the only one casino that had college hockey scores, but no casinos carried bets. According the Sportsbook Manager at the Imperial Palace, the casinos take Frozen Four bets and never any other time of the year.

Does anyone have any video clips from the West Regional? Whether it be the GWG in the HC-MN game or Toews wraparound, both would be great, but any would be perfect.

I thought it was excellent also, would be even more incredible if it included the video of the plays. ESPN worthy.

Joe Finley, confidence it seems from the start of the season and the end of the season is night and day

No complaints Jim

Anyone got a picture of that Prpich farewell, I heard the end of his interview, I'm guessing he has a lot of mixed emotions tonight.

I'm the same way, i'm just looking for tickets or a ride or riders, I'll be staying at my parents in northern illinois

I know that there is a charter flight going down to Milwaukee but for a college student I am not paying 750 a person, from what I just heard on the radio. If i remember correctly last year there was a bus that went down there; 1. does anyone know who organizes that 2. what the tournament ticket package costs, 3. and if there is any student tickets or is it all just one ticket price.

Michigan Helmet If you look closely some of the tape has come off. 27th picture in

yes i am, i stood right over their entrance and every single helmet was just plain purple with yellow electrical tape on it

I only got to watch Sportscenter in sections it seemed and I didnt see if they covered the Gopher game, but it sounds like they did, what did they say?

I think the helmets are pretty cool too, but after a close look when they were going into the locker rooms, the players must have to take a class as freshmen. Electrical Tape Designs 101. The stripes on there helmets is just electrical tape, my friend and I agreed though this is definately not the case with the football helmets.

I can never remember who is who, but Hak seemed to catch the interviewer off gaurd with a couple responses. I.e. distractions this week, I think he thought Hak would say he was very distracted this week, but Hak quickly responded with a firm No, other instance includes the formula conversation over late season play. Overall, good interview, like said earlier, Hak is very professional.

One thing I have noticed a few times with Zach, though he has not capitalized yet, he is very good at reading a scoring chance in the zone and doesnt hesistate to crash the net for a pass. Seen it a couple times, and it is very heads up for a defensemen to be able to do that.

One of the players could stick it to the NCAA if they pulled what Chorney did after scoring his goal against the Gophers in December. If any remember he turned to the crowd and grabbed his jersey. They had a clip of it in the opening montage at the start of the FF championship game. That would be a nice celebration to see.

Matt was a great defensemen and if I could get a chance I'd thank him. I don't know what for, but I would. But I would most definately thank him for picking on his little brother as a kid, cause ZJo does not take any crap from anyone. Thanks Matt!!

Smaby is gone, from what I remember from last year, he was asked by the Lightning last year to sign, but he said no cause he wanted to win a national title. But I figure no matter what after this year he is gone. Anyone else remember hearing this.

This is in the top 5 in games ever seen. Wow, i hate him, but wow Potulny earned my vote for Hobey. Can't let him take a shot to the Glove side i think he is 3/3 from there.

Wow kinda surprised me to see him go, but the Blues need something. Personally, I think that Oshie is developed physically enough to sign, but not mentally, therefore I do not believe the Blues will sign him. Yes the Blues suck, but Backes was a junior/senior (more experience), no need to sign Oshie, let him develop a little bit more, and don't have to worry about paying him. If they want to make a huge move for a forward prospect there going to go for the Junior MacMurchy from Wisconsin before Oshie, he doesn't have the numbers like Oshie, but he's an extra body that they can pay less. If they look outside of college they have Aaltonen in Europe who can put up some good numbers. This is all personal opinion thought and don't hold me too this

Kessel is good at this level, he's a headcase though, my bet, he ends up like Jeremy Roenick, good for a few years, never the best, big mouth, gets injured for 2/3rds of every season. Hopefully he gets lit up by Ovenchkin (and I mean be one of his crushing hits) early in his NHL career and realizes he will never be the best. And the sad part, like Potulny, if he ever wins Lord Stanley, he can't take it back to his hometown, cause Madison has disowned him. City Council passed a resolution.

Saw Stafford up in the press box tonight, couldn't tell if he was still limping or not. I wish him a healthy recovery and that he should be fully recovered and not be rushed back, don't need to reinjure something. But for Sioux fans, I don't have to much knowledge about knees, but I would consider it a good thing if your not on crutches after a knee injury. Hopefully that is a good sign.

I just went on the CSTV website and it doesn't say anything about carrying the game, are you sure, where did you hear this?

I must agree with JLP, I had heard through some sources that it was an MCL injury but wasn't believeing it till i had heard the same from someone else. Faking an injury is bogus, from what I've seen since his freshmen year, I believe Stafford has matured the most both on the ice and off. If there was such a problem there would be remedies to solve it and keep him playing. Leading goal scorer and leader in the nation in Shorties, thats not someone Hak and the rest of the team would want to just "quit" your team. There's no problem, just someone creating drama.

Yea from what I heard they'll want him to play a little in Chicago then send him to Norfolk for the playoffs.

Don't hold me to this, but I heard it through the Grapevine, Stafford is a no go for tonight. Heard from a source close to the trainer. I don't know if this is the case with regards to students rights in all of this and confidentiality cause Stafford hasnt talked much about it. Just what I have heard.
