No penalty was called on the play - just the hand pass. Penalty SHOULD HAVE been called though on the initial play.

And what would this place look like at 11 pm tonight following a Sioux loss to St C? Rest assured, the negative nellies from Sector 2 who poked their heads out after the games last weekend will only burrow out of the ground again if UND loses tonight.

Year after year, Tom Izzo continues to prove to me that he's the best college basketball coach around. Amazing that he has won just 1 national championship (2000) because his teams always seem to be playing in late March. 9 appearances in the Elite 8 and 6 Final Fours (could be 7 win one more win) in 20 seasons. That's incredible.

UND pretty much wears the black hat anyways, especially with respect to hockey, so why not own it? The University of North Dakota Villains.

BURN THE WITCH AT THE STAKE!

Agreed. For all the grumbling about the venue prior to this tournament, this looked like a great atmosphere on TV.

That's the theory I guess. Minnesota was hot and got rolled by a team that didn't make its conference semi-finals...BU was hot and had to go to OT to beat another team that didn't make it out of its conference playoff first round...what's going on here?

ECAC regular season champs...from the conference that has won the last two national championships...Quinnipiac is no scrub team.

There they are again!

The atmosphere has been great all night...where's the crowd now?

A bit over-dressed, don't you think?

The booth guys really need to stop b*tching about Gaarder's penalty and how the Q "showed restraint" in retaliating and rewind the tape. Sheesh...

Where's the doomsday preppers now?

Re-wound the DVR...Gaarder took a good shove to his back that sent him into the goalie.

...Minnesota and Quinnipiac, each with 77.

Would not have guessed that stat - most wins in the country in the past 3 seasons...

WHAAAAAT?

Right on cue.

Given the debacle going on in Manchester right now, aren't you glad you "Reformed"?

Doggone it anyways, Tech, I'd take .6 over THAT any day of the week.

Rumor has it that Mike Reilly will sign his pro contract during the 2nd intermission and not return for the 3rd period.

Don't forget, you HAVE to go into the tournament on a hot streak!

Cue the 37.3 t-shirts...

Well, 5th Column player Mike Reilly has helped, LOL!

Mike Reilly...goal-scoring machine!
