Looks like Goren will stay with Vancouver. Vancouver Roster

Hale sent down to Albany. Hale

Tickets for the games at Duluth went on-sale today (ticketmaster).

Anyone have suggestions for hotels for any of the following: New Hampshire Duluth Denver Thanks!

Postgame mentioned Zach got number 9 with NJ, looks like he made the team.

Audio better now. Sioux down 2 men.

Audio is back, still crappy.

David Hale scores to put NJ up 1-0. Second goal of the pre-season.

I expect Kessel to put up numbers similar to what Zach did his first year, maybe even better. Offensively, he is more gifted than Zach and that is what we are talking about when we discuss points, not the defensive side of things. He will definitely get a lot of powerplay time and the Gopher powerplay, especially on the big ice, has to be much better than the horrible powerplay we had back when Zach was a freshman. Also, the Gopher non-conference schedule is very soft this year so that will also help his point totals. In addition, there has been some crackdown on the extreme obstuction that Zach encountered on almost every shift. This is also a gopher team that is returning a great deal from the final four team of last year so I expect them to be very good. I think 60 points is almost a given, with a chance at 70-80.

Try contacting the REA ticket office. They have tickets available, at least if you're in the fighting sioux club. I got a few last week and it didn't sound like they had sold very many. Good Luck!

Good call INCH !!! You put together a "dream team" that couldn't even win the WCHA, probably not even a top three finish. Time to go to sleep and dream again. While I realize this is not an "all-star" team, they could only find five WCHA players worthy enough to be on the team? Looks like the CCHA is the conference to beat, they have six players on the team. Maybe the WCHA schools can do a better job recruiting in the future. Maybe Kessell should go Major Juniors now, he already made the "dream team" without ever playing a game, no place to go now but down.

Could it be that the NC$$ is really looking for an "out" on this issue ? I am beginning to think they are hoping that Spirit Lake will restate their support for the name and logo use, then use that as justification for an exemption. They already have plenty of documented support against the name and logo from other tribes. Spirit Lake is the one that supported it back in 2000 but now is wavering and the NCAA knows that. They don't want to use the 2000 resolution knowing that discussions have taken place to revoke. They would again look like idiots if they gave UND the exemption based on the 2000 resolution only to have the tribe pull their support soon after. I am sure the NC$$ would like to avoid the courts on this issue so they need to know where Spirit Lake stands, they will decide the issue. If they come out and officially recind their support, based on the NC$$'s previous press releases I think they will have no choice but to deny UND the exemption. If Spirit Lake reaffirms their support, then the NC$$ can use this as justification to get them out of a court case. It appears the NC$$ is waiting on Spirit Lake prior to ruling on UND's petition. If Spirit Lake reaffirms their support and the NC$$ still denies the petition, then what was the point in waiting on Spirit Lake, they already had the 2000 resolution in hand that supported the name ? So I think that a new resolution will come from Spirit Lake and that will be the tipping point. Which way it goes is anyones guess.

Sioux start the 2nd half on their own 20, 1st down run for 2 yards. 2nd down pass incomplete. 3rd down pass incomplete. Time to punt.
