Wow did Toews just put on a clinic there. Maybe he can use those same shots when he faces Frazee again.

Which one is #6? He's the one that needs to learn to one-time shots from below the circle.

JJ could have won this game on the PP if he one-timed some of those shots.

Madison to Colorado Springs is 1035 miles according to Mapquest. If you pay for my gas, I'll make the trip!

Yippee!

That didn't work out quite as well as I had hoped.

Put one in!

He's a great tourney so far. Hopefully he can keep that up.

What were the SOG for the 1st?

Puck hogs.

Now Canada is up 3-1. Toews had a dominating shift right before this goal.

Nice find Dirty. And I tune in just in time to see Downie score for Canada. Cmon USA!

1. We'll find out in a few minutes now. 2. He could get the start, but he may not allow 30 goals. 3. I freakin hope not. 4. No, the haters won't get their wish.

Would he even play them in that series though? They could be pretty tired after playing all those games and then flying back home that day. I would be surprised if he played all of them in that Sat/Sun series.

Already giving up?

So there are no ties anymore with these new rules?

I'll be at the F5 and the F4 regardless of if the Sioux are there or not. It's way too early to determine if the Sioux or the Gophers will be at either... So no couch for me.

Umm, no. One of them was in a Regional NCAA game. The other was a series in December.

Agreed.

Me too. The only jersey I would even think about wearing would be my Sioux jersey. Especially now with UMN having that ban against Native American logos. The Holy Cross thing is getting played out IMO.

Maybe Grieco and Eidsness will be a JPar/Lammy-type duo. Be a rotation for awhile until one of them emerges as the starter.

I'm game again.

Woah. I'm being as optimistic as possible about the Sioux and their chances for the 2nd half, but that is a tall order from any team. The way I see it of what is the most possible outcomes: Split or 1 point against CC (all the World Jr players are still gone). Split or 3 points against UAA. Sweep MSUM. Sweep UMD. Get swept by UMN. Split with SCSU. Split with DU. I think that type of scenario would put the team at around 8-6 for the 2nd half, which doesn't sound great, but is much better than their first half and at the same time should be enough to give them home ice. Hopefully they can get some wins in the Dartmouth Tourney and against BSU to strengthen their out of conference record as well, which would greatly help any chance they may have of making the NCAA's.

Somewhere out there, Evan Trupp is puzzled.
