They said earlier that he asked to be on a more offensive line rather than defensive.

Try the nbc live extra app. That's what I've been using with pretty good success.

The lot over by Clifford/Odegard/Streibel always had more than enough parking back in 01-05

I assumed he wanted to play a hockey game in a spreadsheet.

He called it that once, over two months ago. Is that joke ever going to die?

The sound came back. I was closing and restarting the app a bunch, so I don't know if it was that or if the sound just started working again.

Did the sound cut out on the video streaming for anybody else?

According to CHN Live Scorboard, with 11:34 left, shots were UND 18, UM 12

You're absolutely right. It should have been a penalty shot (or they might have even been able to award a goal because it essentially happened IN the net).

If the puck didn't cross the goal line, then it was a skater who covered the puck, in the crease, to cause the whistle. Since he was in the crease, it should be ruled a goal.

The whole game was on NBC Sports. That's NBCs primary channel for live olympics coverage.

No, he just follows john buccigross on twitter.

Well played by Doc at the end there: "So many paid their rubles to watch the home team win. Not this game. Not tonight."

That's kinda the definition of "the bubble", isn't it? Six wins puts us, in most scenarios, between 11 and 13. That's probably safe.

Looks like 5 wins puts us on the bubble, 4 would make it possible to make the tournament, but we'd need A LOT of help.

The only thing that makes them "the big boys" is their football program. Without that, nobody would refer to them that way. Sure, most have big student populations, but there are plenty of big-time football schools that don't have big student populations. So why should these school be referred to as "the big boys"? They are simple "one of the big boys of college football", just as UND, UMD and Denver are "the big boys of college hockey".

It's on NESN. Directv channel 628. Not sure about Dish.

So what happened at the beginning that made the game 4-on-4?

Midco guys asleep at the wheel tonight? The clock was missing for almost three minutes, and just now the showed a score of 1-0 on screen.

I missed 30 seconds of the game and we're 4-on-4 already? What happened?

Yea, it definitely should have been a goal. Watching the slow motion replay from behind the net, the MSU player's stick never even went over the hole in the ice where the goal peg goes, so there's no way the puck went over it. It clearly would have gone in the net, between the pipes, had the net been in place. The refs clearly didn't know about Section 10, Rule 83.5.

DirecTV is in HD

Because a five minute major doesn't end your night. He sat for five minutes, his penalty was done so he can play again. Same as a two-minute minor.

That would make scheduling difficult, though. A school wouldn't know if they have an open weekend until only a year in advance. Then they'd have to scramble to find more games to add in.

Don't you guys watch the opening ceremonies? Most countries have super ugly outfits like this. It's not just us. Would you rather have Norway's suits? http://usatftw.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/ap-norways-olympic-crazy-pants.jpg
