I wonder what all the Gopher fans that were saying that Budish's stock was falling recently are going to say about this. Seriously though, good pickup for them.

I would think Miami's lack of a tough schedule will hurt them if they happen to lose a couple games to those weaker opponents. It's certainly not their SOS that is keeping them afloat as a #1 seed.

Agreed that these tourneys are a great recruiting tool for the Sioux. Hopefully they keep on being held at the Ralph. I also agree with I Ranger that the Sioux already have the makings of a fantastic 2010 recruiting class with Mattson and Clarke. Keep it up Hakstol!

Anyone got an update on the UMD/MSUM game? Nevermind, ends in a tie.

Everytime there is a fight in this league, the Gophers are involved.

Did Frazee really let in a goal from center ice?

I'll just post a random comment so that this Sat night thread is on top again.

What's crazy is that this is the 3rd time that a team has gotten hosed playing against DU in Magness. The first time was UAA...either 2 or 3 years ago. Last year against UMD. And now this year against UW. Something crooked is afoot in Denver! This is a bigger scandal than Wooger's phantom assist claim at the Ralph!

I love how both of those pics from the Herald show Tech doing what it does best: Clutching and grabbing.

Kangas was in net for UMN.

Sweet! Chorney! SCSU beats UMN 3-1 (with ENG).

SCSU just went up on UMN 2-1 with under 2min to play.

A penalty on VV because the Tech player tripped over his own skates. Seriously.

Time for the refs to start calling all the clutching and give some PP's to the Sioux.

Finley gets a penalty for a nice check. Hmm.

Great defensive play by Kaip.

Trupp has been all over the place so far. Good to see.

There could have been 3 penalties on Tech on that shift alone.

He is questionable for this weekend, but he did make the trip with the team. My guess is that they go with Nolan tonight and then decide on Saturday for the Saturday game.

What does Berry have to do with Brian Lee getting chosen for the AHL All-Star game this year? If I were Lee, I'd be happy to be in the AHL too. Don't have to worry about constant criticism from those folks over on ss.com. Can't make those people happy!

I don't see Lammy sitting this weekend. Maybe Walski plays a game against MSUM or UAA. It would be cool to see what he can do against a WCHA opponent. Especially being that he will be vying for the starting position next year with Eidsness.

Agreed.

That is surprising, especially with how he's dominated at SSM this year. Maybe that will be good for the Sioux if he's not drafted in the 1st round...he might stick around for his JR season then.

Really? They seemed to have netted a couple goals while playing together in this game.

Agreed.
