Wow! Rau ties it for CC with about a minute left! 1-1

Lots of teams really close together in 13-17 range. A loss or two against SCSU next weekend could change that right back around on them.

Now ss.com showing UMN at 13 as well. That is absolutely amazing that a team that has stunk so badly in the past month (or longer) can still be on the verge of making it into the NCAA's. That said, if they do, they're 1st opponent would probably be BU, ND, or UMich.

Wow, big difference between ss.com and CHN pwr. Must be due to UMD loss?

Sioux are now in 8th in the PWR after the loss to UW. UMN stays at 17. BC is at 19. UW at 20. Going to be hard for any of those three to make it, unless they win the conference tourney.

UAA wins, 4-3. Sweep over UMD. :wow: MSUM and SCSU going to OT.

Wow, now 4-2 UAA over UMD...UAA goalie with 46 saves so far. That game is almost over. DU might have their hands full (we can hope so!).

No, still 1-0 DU in the 2nd.

DU up 1-0 over CC in the meaningless game.

Time to take care of MTU in two! No scares like last year. Hakstol can work on the PP/PK this week in practice. I think there are definitely going to be some good 1st round series this year...who knows which 5 teams will be in St Paul.

I would not want to face UAA next weekend. DU is going to have their hands full... UAA on the verge of sweeping UMD in Duluth.

UAA 3 UMD 1 In the 2nd.

BC 4 NE 1 End of 2nd

Does this mean we finish 10th next season? I hope not!

I was thinking after the UMD series or the GLI. That is when it was at it's worst.

Yeah, nothing was really settled at all in the middle of the standings... CC must be very happy with how the results played out tonight.

You know it's a good night when the Sioux win to clinch the MacNaughton while the Gophers lose in OT to the last placed Huskies. Now...saying that, I just hope that UND can beat them twice next weekend.

Indeed! Now go out and win two more trophies.

YES!!!!

We should just stick to the actual games coverage.

The typical Gopher fan is ignorant of the players on the current Sioux roster (much like the typical Sioux fan doesn't know the Gopher roster). When their radio media still talks about all the overage Canadians on the Sioux roster, that just goes further to embed that into their thinking. Old-time Gopher fans probably still think that the Gophers recruit 17-18 yr old players just out of HS and the Sioux recruit 24 yr old Canadians with 6 years of juniors experience. When in reality, the average ages of both teams are very close to each other.

Bachman on that list is a huge surprise. Maybe they had to put him on there by default just because he won it last year... Eidsness has a better GAA and Winning % than Bachman, while Bachman barely has a better save %.

Some articles: Geoffrion out for tonight, may play tomorrow: http://www.badgerbeat.com/news/article/id/441753 Keys to the series: http://www.badgerbeat.com/news/article/id/441769 Another 2nd half turnaround: http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/109421/ 4 questions with Genoway: http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/109424/

The Sioux took it to SCSU for almost that entire game. Outplayed them for most of the game and outshot them 36-18. Weslosky just had an "ON" night, while Eidsness had an "OFF" night. It happens. But I don't think they by any means let up for that Friday night game.

I asked him if he was still interested on USCHO...
