Steven Stamkos is worth the price of admission. The new kid Jonathan Drouin is gonna be good too. Watch out for Tampa Bay, folks!

I wouldn't necessarily take it that way, bigskyvikes. Things change over time...when I was in school, Denver was a total patsie and you could certainly count on a few hundred, if not five hundred empty seats. In the Gwoz years, especially in the late 1990's and 2000's, Denver became the hot ticket. Things change...

Just sayin'...two weeks ago, some folks were ready to burn their Sioux jerseys in protest over the Bemidji loss...now it's all unicorns and glitter over here. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice change of pace...a sweep tomorrow would be just fine by me.

Providence has a solid club - saw them play several games last season. In terms of national recognition, though, you are 100% correct - 4 out of 5 fans inside REA tonight would have had no clue they were ranked in the top five in the country. BC could roll into town ranked #20, but it's BC...that's just how it is.

Is everyone who jumped out of the boat two weeks ago safely back onboard?

Unless I mis-counted at the end, both teams had over 30 shots on goal. Minnesota does give up a ton of chances...

Go Royals go!

Plenty of good seats available at the first puck-drop...

Every team has a bad night...Lowell just got lit up by Michigan to the tune of an 8-spot at home tonight. Isn't Providence missing a key player or two as well?

You can't say that on the air!

Referees quickly evening things up after the 5 on 3 for Bemidji...sheesh...

Minnesota looks good. BTN announcer says "if you wanna crown 'em, then crown their a$$e$!" OK, he didn't really say that... 4-1 Gophers with a PP goal...Wilcox has really bailed out his defense at times. This could be a 4-3 game quite easily.

Beavers wasted a 30+ second 5 on 3 PP opportunity...now 5 on 4...now full strength...ugly PP.

3-1 Gophers with a shortie...bad play by the Beavers

2-1 Beavers score a goal

2-0 Minnesota

Bemidji State playing hard against Minnesota...outplaying the Gophers but down 1-0 after 1 period of play.

gfhockey, is that you?

Shaping up to be another banner non-conference performance night outta the NCHC...

Michigan has put up 8 on UMass-Lowell! extend Red?

Notre Dame 4 Niagara 0

Cue the "fire Motzko" thread in SCSU sports land...

Are you kidding, Goon? According to some experts here, the Beavers are the worst team ever!

Zdeno Chara out 4-6 weeks...yikes.

I don't think they were "copying" the Bruins...the Penguins wanted to look like the Steelers and the Pirates.
