I believe the show is actually in reference to Yale's schedule and inflated record.

The U18 team also had those three NAHL players join them for the Sioux game that didn't play the night before against Fargo. Not that it matters too much. A win is a (exhibition) win.

Looks like Nelson is having a good game thus far:

UND 2 Future UND 1 USA 0

Lamoureux

So for next year, we have Gregoire v2 (St. Clair), Gerbe v2 (Grimaldi), and VandeVelde v2 (Miller) coming in. Not to mention O'Donnell and MacMillian, who are both putting up great points as well. I'll take that!

I can't wait to watch Grimaldi next season in a UND uniform. That kid is made to play college hockey with his size, speed, and puck skills. He's going to be a heck of a player...

Correct. Rocco will be at the WJC USA camp along with Forbort and Nelson. Too bad, would have been fun to see him at the Ralph a year early. That said, hopefully he makes the WJC team so that we can watch him during that...

Ouch:

Huge blow to UW...Zach Stepan is heading to OSU according to internet folk. He had listed UND has a possible college, but I don't think many expected him to come here. UW, on the other hand, with his cousin Derek having a good collegiate career at UW...many were already penciling him into their future recruiting class. http://noalibisnoregrets.blogspot.com/2010/05/recruiting-update-part-4-zach-stepan.html That was from May of this year...

Sounds like Fasching has narrowed his choices down a bit: http://www.twincities.com/sports/ci_16802803?nclick_check=1 That said, a Gopher poster on USCHO mentioned that Fasching committed to the Gophers a few weeks ago, but that it won't be announced until next spring. Not sure if that is true or not.

Is it confirmed that he has a concussion then? Or did he not specify? Hopefully it doesn't turn into a Genoway situation from last year...

Players being NHL ready has never stopped players from leaving early from college. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if both Blood and Gregoire are gone after this season. Kristo's slow start might keep him around another year, which would be great.

Yep. Luckily SCSU had those stripes on their breezers and the bottom of their jerseys.

MSUM still rocking the cowbells? The Gophers outshot the Mavs both nights, but it looks like Cook came up big. Get to him early for a goal or two and make them play our style. Go Sioux!!

You want Dell to pitch a shutout every game? That's asking a bit much. Great series from the Sioux, awesome to see the stick salute, it's been too long! Now time to bring the Mavs back down to earth after their sweep of the Gophers.

MSUM beats UMN 3-2.

Good day for the Sioux. A win against SCSU, UMD loses, and UNO loses. Let's get a win on Saturday for a change!

UMD takes the lead on DU, 4-3, with 5min left in game.

BC over BU 9-5. No defense I guess. CC over MTU 7-3. MSUM leads UMN 3-2 after 2. BSU leads UNO 2-0 after 2. UMD and DU tied at 3 in the 3rd. Notre Dame beat Miami 5-4.

Gregoire is a good defensive forward. Maybe we should move him back to defense due to our depth at forward. Just kidding.

You'd think the Sioux were 5-9-2 with some of these comments.

The only real MUST win games are in late March/early April (assuming you win enough games to make it that far, of course). That said, the next four games are games that the Sioux should win. SCSU, despite being heavily hyped entering the season, are struggling. That, coupled with the fact that the games are at home, should hopefully translate into 2 wins for the Sioux.

ND was good, but UND was clearly the better team for long stretches both nights. I would say that Maine, UMD, and UNO were all better than Notre Dame...and maybe even Denver.

That tying Irish goal was textbook goalie interference. I was surprised that they allowed it, especially after they waved off yesterday's Frattin goal...which was way more debatable.
