Don't worry, I wasn't ripping on Nolan at all. I just think that from what I've seen (limited viewing of course) that Teslak is the better of the two. And it probably doesn't matter who is in net for MTU. The Sioux sometimes have a habit of making a goalie look very good by shooting it directly into his chest, while other nights making him look foolish and hanging 5 or 6 goals on him. As I said on USCHO, I unfortunately won't be at the games this weekend. I am planning to attend the MSUM away series next weekend, and couldn't swing the time off from work to go to the MTU series as well. My apologies, MEggie.

I agree about Nolan. Teslak is definitely the better of the two goalies for MTU. If Nolan has to start both games, that is only an advantage for the Sioux.

Who the heck is Alex Evin?

You're worrying about a goalie that won't even suit up for the Sioux for another 9 months? He'll lose games, but I will bet that he will win us more. He's a quality goalie, and a better recruiting "get" than Greico was. I don't have any high expectations for the kid coming in as a freshman...he'll be thrown right in there with Phil gone, but I bet he will do just fine splitting time with Walski until one of them starts to get into a rhythm. I would love for him to turn out like Bachmann (Turner Overdrive) from CC, who's had a monster frosh year so far, but if he doesn't play like that right out of the gate I won't worry.

A BU fan informed me of the same thing. It sounds like the Sioux will be in both the Ice Breaker and the GLI tourneys next year. That's cool, and that will give them the chance to play some good OOC teams for PWR implications. No cupcakes in either of those tourneys. And as we see this year, even with a .500 league record, as long as we play well against some quality OOC teams, we should be in good standing with the PWR.

It was pretty much done after the 2nd.

CC is scary good this year. They will be a definite threat for the NC if they keep playing as they have been.

Has anyone heard what the SOG are?

Wowzers. What a hottie.

Genoway already is cute. Doesn't need to try.

WSU just scored a SHG. 4-2 UMN now

4-1 now

Great to hear! I hope that RedFrog can post these goals!

Canada scores. 1-0 Get it back!

I'm assuming this is the comment you are talking about: Pretty horrible if that is true and that's what they got arrested for.

Sweden wins it 2-1 in OT. They move onto the gold medal game.

I believe it starts at noon central time. Maybe 1pm. I forget how the time zone difference.

Sweden ties it up with 9min to go. 1-1

I don't think anyone thinks that Oshie will be here for his senior year. Most didn't expect him back for his junior season. Or would you rather he pull an Okposo and leave now?

Russia is leading Sweden 1-0 after 2 periods.

Staying positive indeed.

Sounds like we will see an all-frosh line against SCSU of Frattin/Trupp/Malone. That could be an exciting line. A shooter in Frattin, a playmaker in Trupp, and a physical player in Malone.

Some good news: According to the Sioux blog, Brad Malone will be ready to go this weekend.

Union? I believe this was the last year that Kelly would be eligible to play in the BCHL, and the Sioux weren't going to have room for him in the 08 recruiting class, so it is good to see him get in to another college. Just surprising to see him go to Union. AZSIOUX - Yes, the 4th Zajac, Nolan, is a defenseman. He's playing for the Winnipeg Thrashers AAA Midget team this year. http://www.winnipegthrashers.com/team.html
