7>4

I agree. Especially after a season with problems scoring goals the entire f'ing place should be giving the Sioux a 5 minute standing O after this effort.

8 goals. Awesome. Let's keep this up tomorrow. CC now 6-1 over St. Cloud. Not even half way through the 2nd.

Northern Michigan and BU lose and Maine wins big.

A lot of goals being scored tonight. Anyone hear a UW-AA score? 4-1 CC. Still about 5:00 left in the 1st.

3-1 CC now. How much time left in 2nd? Still 5-1?

Sterling scores for CC. 2-1. 12:00 left in first.

St. Cloud answers on the PP. 1-1 in the 1st. My audio is down. Is Murray OK?

CC up 1-0 early on goal by Sertich. GO SIOUX. Keep up the pressure.

IMO, the big issue with top flight recruits is what program gives them the best chance to play in the NHL. UND has a good history of guys going to play in the NHL. Look at the coaches in the NHL with UND connections. Blais, Murray, Tippet. I may be missing a few. Also, the Sioux play on an NHL size sheet which I think is a draw. Also, the facilities are second to none. Finally, I think the coaches play a big role and Hackstol and the assistants have done a fantastic job in this area. I think these are the main reasons why UND continues to do so well with recruiting.

Announcers for AA Championship said three Moorhead players were going D1. I know Lee and Vandevelde. I assume the third is Ammerman. Has he signed?

6-4 Final. Moorhead outshoots HA 40-18. Bummer.

Moorhead scores with 1:00 left. 5-4.

4-2 Holy Angels. Vandevelde answers a 3 on 0 Holy Angels goal. Shots 15-10 for Moorhead. Come on Spuds.

Good stuff.

Congrats to UM on the big recruiting win. I heard that what really sealed the deal was that Kessel liked the fact that all the Gophers agreed to get perms last year in a show of team unity. That, and the fact that Donny Boy has the team over before games to watch Beaches to get fired up. Gopher fans better hope that his girlfriend doesn't dump him first semester and send him into a tailspin. All kidding aside, Kessel will be a great player. I saw him play the WJ and he sure seems like the real deal. Sioux-Gopher series will be great the next few years. I just wish Greene would stay around one more year to provide Philly with the proper welcome.

Gwozdecky on record in today's paper saying he is looking forward to celebrating the Cup after tonights game. Last night got real chippy in the third. Should be a good game. DU has to win by three or more to win the tiebreaker for the playoffs.

CC up 3-0 over DU in the third. About 4:00 minutes left. FINAL CC 3 DU 0. CC survives a 6 on 3 the last minute. CC clinches share of the McNaughton Cup. As a side note, they presented the Cup after the game. Wonder if they will do it again tomorrow if Denver wins the rematch and a share of the Cup?

I agree. I love seeing most of the top recruits come to WCHA schools. It will make for some great hockey over the next few years. I may be wrong but I see Kessel as the same type of player as Vanek. Great offensively but weak on the defensive end.

My guess is that it was road conditions more than lack of interest that resulted in lower attendance. Come on PCM, you make Sioux fans sound like Gopher fans. For a .500 team, we are still number 2 in the country in attendance. On a site note, the radio broadcast made it sound like there were about 3,000 fans there instead of over 10.

Done.

Time for one of our seniors to step up and win this thing.

I must not work the USCHO.COM pairwise right. When I add 3-2-1 bonus, I show the Sioux tied for 5th. Don't you just change the numbers to 3.0 for road, 2.0 for neutral, and 1.0 for home?

Now, for the final test of my reverse imagery powers. NO WAY DOES MY HAIR START TO GROW BACK. Big win for the Sioux. Maybe we break the Saturday jinx by playing on Sunday.
