NDSU knocks off ORU tonight to win regular season Summit championship. Congrats!

Was a fun game to be at. CC is good or I should say their top line is good. IF UND played the first 30+ like they did the last half of the game, they'd have walked away with 2 points. Thought with about 5 minutes left in the second, UND kicked it in. They dominated almost all the 3rd and CC was just hanging on in the OT. E made some sick saves, but agree the semi wrap around by Rau was not a good goal to give up at that time of the game. VV looked sluggish...guy next to me said VV was ill? Totally suprised to see Trupp play...he looked pretty good. Agree our PP and PK didn't look real good. Good overall team effort though. I think UND figures out how to slow down Rau and company tomorrow.

Just about to head up with the 3 girls, 8, 7, and 3! Hope it goes well as does the game. CC is not a real good match up. They've got great speed and good goaltending. I'll say this goes the way of a tie: 3-3 with Duncan, Malone and Marto scoring...but I wouldn't mind a Genoway OT goal to win it!!

Not on FSSN...Wild are on.

Remember them being a pretty physical team last season, but were definitely defensive-minded.

UMD is the only WCHA team I haven't seen this year. Anyone have an opinion on them?

If UM doesn't make it, UND will be in the West. Remember this is the NC$$ we're dealing with! It will be all about the Benjamins if the Goph are out it.

My bad. Didn't look at whole thread and didn't realize you have some money down with AZ!

Never happen. Here is a given...UND won't get swept and UMD won't get swept.

So when did the Frozen Four '09 get moved to Mpls? Wow...that would be a tough draw for all!

That's the rumor floating around the REA!!

IF Toews can't go, just a little suprised you'd move Malone from center to wing, then move Lamoreux from wing to center? From a scoring perspective, IMO you move Kozek up. But again that's why I sit in Sec. 110!

That suprises me, but I know not to question the 2nd 1/2 magic of Hak!! What is the deal with Toews?

I'll give Trupp 0% chance of playing this weekend and I'll take the under! If there is talk about Malone moving up to wing with VV/Frattin, that also tells me Toews is ready to go because Davidson, Kozek or Lammy can't and wouldn't center the 4th line. Duncan and Watkin's lines stay the same and Malone joins VV/Frattin with the 4th line being Kozek, Lammy with Toews at center. Kind of suprised that Kozek wouldn't fill the wing opened up by Trupp's injury? With that being said that is still 4 really solid lines.

Minny will probably have to travel to UMD or CC for the 1st round. I could see them beating either of those 2 team in a best of 3.

Oh, the Gophs will make it...game 3, tie game and the Gophs just happen to get a 5 on 3 pp with 2 1/2 minutes left. Make no mistake that the powers that be will try to make sure they get to the F5!

But when was the last time your squad has been up 4-1 not to mention getting a win so someone can claim a GWG?

Let's not forget it will be the last regular home series for the seniors with parents there, et. al. Look for Duncan, Kozek and big Joe to have huge weekends...and my man, Martens, is soooo due as well.

Didn't make UAA trip due to injury.

Let's assume Trupp can't go this weekend. Here's what I got: IF Toews can play, he centers the 4th line with Lammy and Kozek and Malone goes up with VV/Frattin as Malone looked real good with those 2 Sat. IF Davidson plays, he goes on the 4th line with Malone and Lammy with Kozek steps up to play on the line with VV/Frattin. Either way, this is a big weekend for Kozek to step up!

DU 39 SCSU sucks, CC will rollover...DU gets all 6. UND 38 3 of 4 from CC, split with WI WI 32 UMD 31 CC 31 UM 29 SCSU 27 MSUM 24 UAA 19 Tech 10

Reinjured the same (right) shoulder that cost him 4 games earlier. I'm not an Ortho Dr. but have enough general knowledge thru my schooling to know that to reinjure the same moveable joint in a relatively short time between injuries is typically not good. If it's a collarbone issue, that's not any better. That fact that he didn't return last night and it's the same shoulder (if true), I'd guess-timate his earliest return would be the 1st round WCHA, probably the Final 5. And again this opinion is just my limited knowledge of the suspected injury, but I hope we see him Sat. on the ice at the REA 'cause he is my daughter's favorite Sioux!

Going to the UPC to see UND recruit Cichy vs the Force. Think this game tonight vs. UAA will be higher scoring. I'd love a sweep but something tells me this could end in a tie. None the less 4-3 UND. Trupp (he's gotta get one), Gregoire, Martens (he's due) and Marto.

The response you got talks about "equipment limitations"...isn't that what Cialis is for! Mid-Con could have worked this problem out if they wanted to.

Dude, you forgot frolicking in a dewey meadow and visions of CareBears everywhere!
