Anyone have a good link to stream the game?

Dell is fantastic. He is one of the best positional goalies I've seen play in the wcha for quite awhile. Not trying to take away anything from aaron's accomplishments but he is playing behind one of the best defenses the Sioux have had in a really, really long time. Some credit is due there. I am a Sioux fan, but I also watch a lot of other hockey, and UND is clearly the strongest team in the nation top to bottom. Let's get number eight!

To be honest, I'm a bit surprised that UND and Denver are set into the same regional. I thought it could have been organized a little differently. Not really complaining though because the bracket is very fair overall. In fact, I think UND got the toughest bracket to play out of (you could make an argument for the West Region with CC and Michigan) But frankly I think UMD got the best spot of all the WCHA teams. Overall the Sioux have a good shot to get to the F4. I told my buddy the day we won the WCHA that the two teams I didn't want to play against in the regionals were BC and DU. Those two teams always play us tough, and seem to have had our number the past few seasons. Denver is tough but I feel the Sioux are slightly better this year. Once we get to the frozen four though- bring 'em on. The only way RPI has a shot in this game is if UND shits their pants and plays the worst game of the season. This game is theirs to lose. The Sioux are deeper, more physical, faster, and bigger. RPI may keep it close for a period or two, but by the 3rd we should see a serious sioux advantage. I've watched quite a bit of Eastern hockey this year and outside of a couple of the top teams (BC and Merrimack) the level of intensity and skill isn't even close to the WCHA . We're going to grind them down in the first 20-30 minutes and by the 2nd half of the game should be skating circles around them. No offense to RPI but I'd be suprised if this wasn't a 5-0 type of game. Even though I think DU is a better team, I am really hoping WMU wins this bout. I doubt it though.. I think we see DU pull this out and end up with another battle against the Pio's for a trip to St. Paul. Scary, because in my opinion they are the one team in the country that has the best shot to win against the Sioux. I watched Michigan play the other day, and they seemed fairly athletic and well rounded.. In fact they remind me a bit of UMD, but they are playing much better hockey than the Bulldogs are right now. I would expect to see Michigan vs BC in the west. Hopefully Michigan wins... we all know how the Sioux handle the wolverines in the NCAA's. I think the NCAA is trying to avoid an all WCHA frozen four again, because 5 teams are placed in 3 regionals... The NE regional could be interesting.. I haven't watched much of any of those teams, except for a couple of Merrimack games (wasn't really all that impressive) so I'm thinking Miami wins this one. Duluth played poorly down the stretch in the WCHA. I'm not sure what happened to them, but the skill is there for them to make the frozen four. Although I think Duluth seems to be getting worn out... I've seen Yale play some games, and to be honest I think their goaltender has stolen a lot of wins for them this year against a moderately tough schedule at BEST. That being said, if he keeps that up, Rondeau could get Yale all the way to the title game. Sort of reminiscent of Ryan Miller and Mich St. a few years back. They don't impress me that much, so I think this one is in Duluth's hands. IF they should show up and play their phsyical/fast game, I think they can win vs Union and then Yale in the championship. Soo... A North Dakota, Michigan, Minn-Duluth, Miami (OH) frozen four sounds pretty entertaining. Could be a little western biased, but the best teams are in the west this year. Although I really wouldn't mind getting the chance to see BC in the semi's and getting some revenge... that's always a GREAT game to watch too. Let's Go Sioux!

Anyone know where to find TV listings for the game tonight? Doesn't look like FSN North is carrying the friday game...Thanks

Great article. I have never seen a player, or a team as a matter of fact that is as determined as this one. Oshie's greatest strength lies not in the points he scores but in the way he changes the game every time he steps on the ice. This team feeds off of Oshie's and Lammy's energy and the level that they play at throughout every moment of every game. If any team in the last 4 years has what it takes to win #8, it is definately this one. BC is going to have it's hands full on thursday.

It's gonna be Lammy, Porter, Gerbe. My guess is that Porter walks away with the award, especially after putting up 4 goals in one regional game. He has had a tremendous season. Give the Hobey to whoever, I would take Oshie over Porter any day, and Phil is the best goaltender in college hockey. I like our chances at the FF.

I agree... Sioux need to skate hard and get UW to take penalties. I think our PP looks tough right now and i think that's going to be the key tonight.

pathetic showing by the wcha tonight... was very dissapointed in SCSU i thought they would beat down clarkson. UND better pick it up tomorrow

I have seen Miami play multiple times this year. They stand little to no chance against UND's forwards. Slower D than any of the top 5 WCHA teams, and maybe one line that could match up skill wise. Zatkoff is a pretty good goaltender but let's face it, he has not seen a group like UND, CC, St Cloud, would bring to the ice. I would be pleased to see them in UND's bracket to say the least, as they will be the weakest 1/2 seed of the bunch IMO.

I really think Rett Rhakshani and Chris VandeVelde deserve to be recognized on these teams POTY - Lammy ROTY - Garrett Roe DOTY - Hillen First Team F Chad Rau CC F T.J.

Is this game being broadcast on sat. or directtv or anything?

Not to take anything from Oshie, he is my favorite player to watch, but Kevin Porter is having a helluva season out at Michigan too.

interview with toews on now

What time is the USA vs. Canada game on?
