Agreed. The Maine series was the only one this season that I thought was very poorly officiated, but a huge chunk of that was just that HEA officiating is that much different from the WCHA, and UND never really adjusted to it. Other than that, it just gets old to be constantly discussing it, whether we win or lose.

Eidsness will get his fair share of starts this season, it's not like Hakstol is locked into Dell already. And I would bet that Eidsness will be back in a UND uniform next season, even though he is graduating early.

DU up 1-0 on CC despite getting outshot pretty handily so far.

I don't think it takes much coaching to beat MSUM this year.

UW 2, UMN 2 in the 2nd.

Intermissions are for bathroom breaks.

Atta boy Trupper, great shot! 2-1 UND

Looks to be the case. I like moving Kristo up with Malone and Frattin.

It sounds like OSU will also be missing two players for the Sunday game, as they are also heading to the Four Nations tourney...

Nice win!!! Man, the Gophers got blasted by the Badgers...6-0 final. Ouch.

Ferris State beat #1 Miami, 3-2. UNH beat BC, 2-1.

No. I really hope Malone continues to play the game as he has all season.

I guess you missed my post from last page where I said this:

I am fine with the one game suspension. I actually thought it could have been longer (being that we are dealing with the WCHA here, after all). My only complaint is that they waited until the day before the game to announce it. This could have been taken care of on Tuesday, now the team is left scrambling for lines in practice for tomorrow's game. While I agree that Malone didn't intend to injure Martin, nor did he intend to hit his head, I understand the one game ruling being that they specifically said this year that they were going to crack down on head hits. This is a rule that was passed with Genoway in mind after his injury last year. I don't think Malone's hit was anywhere near as vicious as Marvin's hit on Genoway last year (even though they both essentially got the same penalty by the WCHA), but since they are trying to crack down on head hits this year...I certainly wasn't expecting Malone to NOT get a suspension. I would have been surprised if he hadn't, honestly.

Surprised that the WCHA waited this long...and they haven't even officially announced it yet. I'm assuming that Hakstol assumed this was going to happen as well and lines have been adjusted during practice.

It was something along the lines of DU not knowing how to play hockey or something. To be fair to the poster, they did say it when everyone was thinking Martin was ok (the initial report was that Martin was only taken to the hospital for precautionary measures and that he would be fine), before everyone found out the true extent of his injuries.

Both LaPoint and Rodwell are playing (as far as I know...). Are you thinking of Rowney?

After all the discussion on here at the beginning of the season about having too many dmen...I suppose it is good we have all that depth at defense now, right? I wonder if both Forbort and MacWilliam have mono? Hopefully they're not out for too long...they're two strong defenders. Forbort, MacWilliam, Rowney, and possibly Malone out. Ouch.

The quote was in the UND/DU thread over on USCHO.

A GPL poster said this about Michaelson:

The rumors I've heard seem to point to mono. It doesn't sound like he will be playing this upcoming weekend against hometown Duluth. Maybe we'll hear more on Wed...

Friday - Gregoire

The latest update said that he has feeling in all extremities, which is good to hear. Hoping for a full recovery for Jesse! Martin is a senior...unless he can get a medical hardship waiver like Bina/Genoway.
