No score after one, Gophers with the better chances but Yale with some good one on one efforts.

Goofs hit the post, actually deflected off Yale.

2:30 left 1st no score

Nice coast to coast by Agostino, Yale getting a few more shots lately.

Wilcox way out of the crease there

M

9:00 left 1st, no score

Minnesota gets some good shots but Yale kills it.

Now we'll see if Yale can handle the PK

Helgeson going.

Not a great PP, one decent shot.

Neither team looks too swift so far, the arena really is empty. tDon getting a little salt and pepper look these days. Yale on the PP.

Mine is great right now, except there is a crappy yellow and brown appearance.

False. Attendance is the main reason for seeding, everybody knows that.

ESPN3 is up now

This looks like one of those Snickers commercials.

Nice way to spin it to make the WCHA sound like the bad guys, wow. "It's not the WCHA's birthright to have their teams spread out and given their results in recent tournaments they should probably be happy that the joke draws Minnesota and North Dakota got mean it's at least likely they'll get one team to Pittsburgh." Really? The WCHA never gets to the Frozen 4? I guess BC has a lakesbison too.

I hope you're right although I hope the players don't buy into that #Holy Cross Yale Michigan

Probably not much if any, if it wasn't so painful I would watch the Michigan replay and see how many commercial breaks they took there, it seemed like more than 4 per period but there were so many stoppages with frozen pucks and them dumping the puck into the stands it might have seemed worse than it was. But I guess even that would keep the 3rd and 4th lines on the bench more.

I was thinking about that a few days ago and wondering if that's part of the reason Hak has used Rocco on multiple lines looking ahead to the tournament when you can manipulate the game a little more with stoppages in play and lean on your top 2 lines heavily like Duluth did 2 years ago. I'm not sure how many automatic TO's they have during the regionals, but there is a bunch if you get to the FF, and you can really extend minutes for your studs if you want to.

"UND's secondary is like a pan of Brownies"...that could be it.

I thought there might be a chance they would come back because they realized they can't compete at the higher level and are tired of 3-9 seasons, but I guess it's hard on the ego to backtrack which is understandable.

Don't forget the lutefisk.

The last 2 years they have played the late game, can't remember earlier years.
