The one they scored on last night was HUGE though. I'm still looking for an injury update on DU's leading scorer. The back of his head slammed onto the ice pretty hard...not a penalty at Mariucci these days I guess.

Agree X 100. I distinctly recall one Michigan player practically slap-shotting a puck from center ice up about 20 rows in the stands...still at center ice! If that's not delay-of-game, I don't know what is.

Sweet! The more, the merrier!

You can also find Goon at the Hoggsbreath, bigskyvikes!

RiverHawks taking it to Merrimack right now 2-0 after 1.

EDIT: CHN app had score backwards. CBSSN referring several times to Lowell's six-game win streak. They beat Merrimack 4-0 on Friday. Looks like UMass-Lowell is your NCAA favorite!

Last night's game winner was a PP goal by Bjugstad about a minute or two after a Gopher flattened DU's leading scorer with a stick to the neck (refs missed that call, though, of course).

I am very surprised by that as SCSU simply needed a win to claim a share of the title PLUS they were at home. Maybe a nice send-off by the WCHA to not even have it on-hand last night should a soon-to-be NCHC team win it?

That's a long ways away yet but the Wolverines seem to have that maize and blue swagger back.

Thanks for the scoop! I just tuned in.

Are you kidding me? I will laugh my a$$ off when I see my SCSU friends if they choke this thing away. ESPN Classic SCSU to lose 3 in a row and blow it.

I noted that above. Based on Bruce McLeod's past, I've got to believe that the MacNaughton Cup was inside the National Concrete Center somewhere last night just waiting to be handed to the Huskies.

You're going with a three-way tie, eh?

...and SCSU I'm sure regrets not showing up for the Tech game last night too.

I've been to two Final Fives at the Target Center. Gluek's and other bars there are packed with Friday pm suits who left the office early for the day. The average joe on the street won't have any idea what kind of sport your hockey jersey represents let alone what teams are playing. And INSIDE the Target Center? Let's just say you will miss the X.

Correct. MacNaughton Cup champion is regular season points...tie-breakers determine playoff seeding. UND sweeps Mankato...37 points. Minnesota beats and then ties Bemidji...36 points. SCSU swept at Wisconsin...35 points.

From 1949 until 2001, titles were few and far between for Boston College too.

LOL...I have never heard a goalie losing a national championship game by a 3-2 score in OT referred to as being 'lit up like a Christmas tree,' but ok... Minnesota hasn't won a title in 10 years, almost as long as ND's 13. Wisconsin's was a fluke...regional in Green Bay and Frozen Four in Milwaukee. To me, it speaks volumes about the depth of the WCHA itself when you have five different schools with national titles in the past thirteen seasons. No other conference can claim that kind of success since 2000. They're not even close.

I agree with you 100%. I think the Pairwise has become a little too easy to figure out and its quite possible that the integrity of the game has gone right out the window in exchange for getting healthy and a 'better draw' in the tournament.

Lowell lost at home to UMass two weeks ago. Their season's over too.

You missed the news this am...Coach Hakstol is scheduling a press conference for later today where he will announce that even if UND wins its opening playoff series, the team will decline the invitation to the Final Five and just call it a season.

Nope, Miami lost on Friday to a terrible Ohio State team so obviously they don't have a shot to win an NCAA title.

...and here we go...

I know that too, but I was trying to point out the positive, LOL.
