Another goal for Nelson tonight. He now has 4 goals on 5 shots!

Freshman goalie Bitzer is getting the start for the Beavers tonight.

48 shots is a new franchise record.

Not sure about existing suite owners, but I know that if you purchased a suite this year you were "eligible" for West Regional tickets but not guaranteed.

If that is true, and UND distributed 2,500 tickets to Champion Club members, it should mean that anybody with a priority number up to 750 will get tickets.

Red Pepper at the REA is nice if you are okay with missing several minutes of the next period. Judging by the exhibition game, they have some major work to do to increase the efficiency.

Friday: O'Donnell Saturday: Caggiula

Section 123 Friday. Section 105 Saturday.

There's a presale for the Bemidji game at Sanford Center that started on September 12th. A password is supposed to be required, but I was just able to purchase tickets without a password. (It didn't even prompt for one.). If you want to get a jump on tickets and have the pick of your seats, you should be able to pick them up now.

Matt Greene signs a 4-year, $10M contract extension with the Kings. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=455630

See the difference between the two situations? Thanks Stenehjem! Nobody else to blame. His agreement with the NCAA should have never included both tribes.

Tickets have been sold.

I have a pair of season tickets for sale for the upcoming season. Seats are in Section 306, Row I. This is at the end where the Sioux shoot twice, just next to the organ bar at the south end of the arena. Price is $955 for the pair. PM me or email fargosioux@cableone.net if you are interested.

From a fan perspective, I like the idea of having 6 teams make the tournament, with the play-in games on Thursday. After several years of games starting on Thursday at the Final Five, it was tough losing another day of hockey this year.

Your team was #1 in the polls all year, and went on to get outplayed in both Frozen Four games (lucky to sneak out one win). It's actually pretty sad that UMTC fans have to take comfort in this victory as much as they are. It's really kind of pathetic.

Fixed your post.

Surprised there's been no mention of the World Junior tournament. Two UMTC players, plus the head coach? No doubt they were still exhausted.

I second that! That post was classic!

gfhockey is the Carl Gerbschmidt of siouxsports.com.

Gopher fans complaining of an unfair advantage based on recruiting/rosters of an ECAC team. My how the times have changed!

I went from #2 last year to #276 this year (third from last place). I think I need a complete overhaul of the entire organization. In my defense, however, I was pretty tired from the World Junior tournament.

I learned something new on Union's hockey website. Their "Did You Know" blurb states that Union, BC, and Minnesota are the only teams to make the NCAA tournament in each of the last four years. I guess making it 12 years in a row doesn't qualify you for that statistic: http://www.unionathletics.com/index.aspx?path=mhockey

Some yet-to-be-identified sports bar in Mexico.

I think they'll give the night game to the eastern teams regardless. If BC wins today, I think it's a given. ESPN thinks college hockey revolves around BC.

Does anybody know the last year UMTC went on a 2-game losing streak into the NCAA tournament?
