Birkholz scores. Cepis rings it off the crossbar and Birkholz picked up the rebound. 1-0 Gophers. He actually hit it out of the air after it hit the pipe.

Fans want a penalty of the Sioux. Frank and Doug are confident that there absolutely was not a penalty. The Gopher player ran into the Sioux player and fell down.

It's hard to say. It's back and forth, though the Gophers still only have 2 shots after 14:30 of the first period. And another penalty on Blood. That might have been an acting job by Cepis, but Blood put himself in position to make it easy. Blood shouldn't have had his arms wrapped around like that.

In Cichy's defense on this last attempt, he had absolutely no momentum. If he would have tried to take a stride or two and make a better shot, he would have been knocked off the puck and wouldn't have taken a shot at all.

Tony Zajac? Who's he? Darcy's other older brother who plays for the Devils, apparently.

I suppose it's no different than "Jaguar". You've got "jag-wahr", "jag-wire" and "jag-u-are"

There's always a babysitter in the penalty box. Or is there something particular about this one?

Minnesota penalty. Let's start early and get a goal on this power play.

HD is definitely better than not HD. But TV is better than no TV, so I won't complain

After listening to Gorg keep calling him "Kreesto," I decided to look up the pronunciation gude in the media guide. I think I figured out why the tools on BTN last night kept called him "Greg-ware". The media guide has his name phoenetically spelled as "greg-WAHR". At least I can understand where the "-ware" came from. I still don't know where TH gets "greg-WIRE" from.

Any comments from TH on the officiating yet? The BTN guys have found at least three missed gopher penalties (two interference and one too-many-men)

Maybe I'll try to get that going for the 2nd period. These announcers are really lame.

I was just curious if any comments I made on here would just make it look like I'm talking to myself

Anybody else around or are you all out at the bars watching the game?

Damn those black jerseys look sweet in HD!

I'm pretty sure the first year we had the swifts the only game we lost while wearing them was the national semi-final against BC.

I knew it! While I was driving home from work tonight I had a strange feeling that we would be wearing black tonight. Awesome!

This has been pretty sloppy for both teams for the last 5 minutes or so. Penalty on the Sioux come up.

I believe Sweeny just said the Mavs only have one shot on goal so far. (Might be two now). 7:14 left in the 1st

Toews just scored an unassisted goal against the Wild to take a 2-1 lead. EDIT: They added two assists to it, Kane and Duncan Keith.

I say use the one jodcon started. It has the most posts so far, and it keeps the specific game talk out of this "series talk/speculation" thread.

I guess we need two gameday threads. Here's what I said in the other one: Sioux take the early lead. Frattin!! 1-0 Sioux And Cichy!!! 2-0 Sioux

Sioux take the early lead. Frattin!! 1-0 Sioux And Cichy!!! 2-0 Sioux

Compared to a lot of games, there haven't been many whistles in these games. Especially not many times a goalie has covered up the puck while it's on the ice like Lee just did. Been a pretty fast game.

The two hooks cancel each other out, so it's no penalty.
