UND 3 Yale 2

I really like the Rocco, Corbin and Danny matchup, and I also think the Caggiula Pattyn St. Clair will play well together. I hope that we don't miss Zane in the goal.

Wow, lamb, ribs.... Sounds delicious. I will probably order a burger at Reza's. Go Sioux!

My wife and daughter went to Joe Sensers for yesterday's game. She said there was a small crowd, but they were LOUD! I am in Bismarck and I went to Reza's Pitch. All the TVs were tuned to the game and he had the game on the sound system. There were only two of us with Sioux jerseys on, and a couple others with Sioux shirts. But when we scored the place exploded! Everybody was watching the game and rooting for the Sioux. It was awesome. I am going back today!

And that!

Minnesota looked plodding yesterday. We need to keep our feet moving today and we need our passing to click. Our defense cannot let up, and we need to beat them to the puck. Lacrosse is just a small town in Wisconsin?

Yeah. I am still on a high from the game. 3:00 PM MY time.

3pm eastern? 4pm Gods time?

Niagara trying to be physical but they always miss the check

Clearly, the NCAA is hostile and abusive, and cannot host post-season play.

Anybody remember the 1977 North Dakota State High School Hockey Championship Game? Let's hope for that!

Let em play all night long.

At least they got the nickname right!

Like I said, let this game go 4 overtimes!

MN scores a PP goal. Hopefully this goes 4 overtimes.

The gophers are making Cinderella story dreams come true. For other teams.

I hope the boys are deep in mental preparation and are thinking about nothing but the game right now. It is important for us to win, and it would be beneficial to make a statement.

Rocco is quick, skilled, and savvy. A deadly combination. Smart teams try to ride him off the play, and it works well if there is nobody quick enough to stay with the play when Rocco gains the zone with speed. That is why I like Rocc Kristo and Knight on the same line. Yeah, you can ride one off the play, but then lookout for the others! I cannot even count the number of times Rocco used his speed and stick handling to get deep into the zone, only to be pushed wide by the defense, and then Rocco turning and looking for a trailing pass and nothing........... What a waste.

We were in the box for 2 or 3 of those in most games..... didn't seem to matter.

I hope Zane will be in goal. I like Knight Kristo Rocco line, and I would like to see St. Clair Gaarder Caggiula as well. We need to generate some offense, as the Niagara goalie is going to be solid. I like the fact that they have phased out olympic ice from NCAA tourney. The TV timeouts WILL be a factor, and by loading our first two lines we should be able to capitalize on it, like other teams do. Officiating will be what it always is. We really will need to stay out of the box as much as possible, and maybe that means backing off on some big hits from our big boys. If they have the discipline to do that. Our defense needs to be solid. No stupid turn overs in our end that lead to goals. Hak needs to be flexible and think on his feet, because other teams will be doing exactly that against us and we need to be able to react appropriately. When a horse is dead, stop beating it.

They will need some way to assess how their training is coming,since that will not be possible in the BIGez10.

So what trophy will webe playing for next year? Also, one of the teams tomorrow night will win and take the Broadmoor with them. Will that effectively retire the trophy (like it did when Mich Tech won and then left the WCHA)?

This year I will make it on the wrong right day! I will bring my adult daughter. My wife is getting her hair done (I think she pulled some out last night). I will be the guy in the Sioux jersey.

And the stick salute! I thought they would only do that with a sweep.
