Was that early in the 1st? I was outside shoveling snow until about 6:00 left.

Like x 100. This game wouldn't be nearly as cool if it was Finland white vs Sweden blue.

I don't understand why the referee was emphatically waving that goal off...

Jersey update: Finand's blues are pretty sweet. Outside of USA 3rd white, quite possibly my favorite of this Olympics. Sweden yellow - classic, but Nike-ified version without stripes on the sleeves and rain slicker effect make them a FAIL.

I'd concur that BC has been the gold standard of college hockey since 2000 and don't disagree with anything you stated above.

Kari Lehtonen in the nets for Finland...Rask out sick.

It's a blast...I picked it up while at UND and loved it immediately. Got into competitive men's and co-rec and have played indoor and outdoor brooms. Big difference between the two, obviously. Post over in the IceHoggs thread if you want some more info - I know there are leagues in Fargo and obviously the TC area.

Cant let program slide How long can rr tolerate mediocrity R they razing participation banners now? Time to clean house?

Oh please. From 88-96 there was nothing but gloom and doom in Grand Forks.

No one's more disappointed than me, Wilbur. I carried last year's semi-final disappointment into the off-season and could not wait to avenge that defeat at the hands of Scooby Snacks in this year's semi-final game. I don't know what to tell you...we left it all out there on the ice but it wasn't enough. Maybe I should reconsider the team re-branding and simply go with "Pigs with spatulas" as our name?

Go Braves go!

I haven't seen a play that bad since...oh...I guess a few hours ago on Canada's second goal when 5 US women looked like mice all running towards a cheese puck.

Good grief...nice turn-over, #2.

So 5 different WCHA teams winning national titles in a 14 year span isn't "parity" in a conference to you? Seems like that's a pretty good run for one conference. Imagine if only ONE WCHA team was head and shoulders above the rest during that same time-span...dare I say they'd out-number BC in terms of titles?

I'm not sure what I need to explain since my post quite clearly detailed the ten titles in the past fourteen years won by schools NOT named Boston College...what's not clear?

It was tough to miss, wasn't it?

Double OT?

Score update?

I figured I'd move this out of the Olympics thread...maybe the problem with lack of recent league championships is the corny team name - Liberty Bail Bonds obviously for their cash contribution and IceHoggs as a sort of spin-off of the Hoggsbreath. I'm thinking of doing a total re-brand like the New Orleans Hornets to New Orleans Pelicans...only way more sinister...I just need to come up with a logo that will work...and some cash for some new uniforms... How about RED ARMY?

I don't expect Mandan to get it done. 2 out of 4 would be nice though.

Weren't you watching Starman and Holden last week? According to Holden, the Penrose Cup that he so gleefully showed off with his white gloves last Friday night, is the NCHC tournament trophy. It will be handed out at Target Center in a few weeks. Nice work, CBSSN...and thanks for the reply to my e-mail.
