Backchecking is hauling ass back to the defensive zone when the other team breaks the puck out. The only way to score by this is to not backcheck and cherry pick, which is a lazy way to play hockey. I've seen a number of Gopher games and Sioux games...they are both deserving of the award, but the difference between the two is that Parise is a smarter player than Vanek is. Parise is also fourth in the nation in scoring as a Freshman, while Vanek is tied for 11th (still impressive), and he has also played two less games than Vanek. The choice for this award is pretty clear to me....Zach Parise. Howver, I will not be bitter if Vanek does get it like I was when Ryan Miller won the Hobey Baker over Jeff Panzer and Brian Gionta (Boston College).

Glad to see that the students who were in our seats represented without flatspin and myself there...any chance someone got pictures of the posters??? See ya at the Final Five!!!!!!!!

I have to say we've all been critical of the goaltending situation, but given how Brandt played last night, I have a hell of a lot more confidence in the guy than I did a few weeks ago. He had a .913 save precentage in the last two games with a 2.00 GAA, those are pretty damn good numbers in my book. I'd say we found our #1 for this weekend I've also had the oppurtunity to meet Brandt, one of the funniest guys I've ever met.
