Pretty sure the refs were just waiting for the first hit of any kind so they could call a penalty on it.

Lucia just called it a "healthy rivalry". Flip-flopper!!!

Full hour pre-game on FSN starts now

Mankato actually joined in 1999, according to HockeyDB and Wikipedia. As CC head coach he still could have been advocating to get them in the league, but it surely wasn't because they were another Minnesota school.

It's only on Fox Sports North. If you're outside of that viewing area you probably need the full sports pack in order to get that channel to watch the game.

I just looked up Earl, because he's the diver I remember the most. He played 32 games with the Wild in 09-10, 6 games in 2010-11, then off to Europe. I always found it really hard to cheer for him when he was with the Wild. Cepis is in the ECHL, probably for the remainder of his career.

I don't often follow recruits, but does anybody know anything about Jack Forbort? So far this season for Duluth East he's got 13G and 14A in 15 games. He's a senior this year. Anybody know anything?

WCCO reported this morning that some tickets for the series are going for up to $400 per ticket.

Why are you letting facts get in the way of a good conspiracy theory?!

What'd they miss? I'm watching the game on FCS and saw both the (non) penalty, and the goal.

From UNDSID's Twitter feed:

There goes the shutout. HC scores 5-1 UND

Knight has 2 goals. Rowney, Parks and Kristo each have one goal. Knight has two assists, too, though. Four points.

End of the 2nd period UND leads 5-0

Kirsto scores on a WIDE OPEN NET!

5:17 left in the 2nd. Still 4-0

I didn't see what happened, but UND is on a power play now. 50 seconds remaining in the PP. Sounds like it was tripping.

Parks scored that almost the exact same way McGregor beat the Gophers.

End of the 1st UND leads 3-0 SOG: 18-4 UND

Gleason goes to the box. Maybe HC will get some SOG now.

The work before the goal was way more impressive than the actual goal. Without literally everybody contributing to keep the puck in the zone, nothing would have happened.

Now it's going to be a long Knight (Almost like you were foreshadowing)

Alright, they can now be done talking about how every UND fan has Holy Cross as a second favorite team. It's played out, it's done. Stop talking about it.

Gaudreau scores off a great stretch pass from Miller! USA leads 5-1 3:48 left in the game and USA is now on a PP

This sure isn't what I expected to wake up to. Very surprised and pleased!!
