WHAT A HOCKEY GAME! Finally got a shot through and Gaarder was able to cash in on the rebound. Ferris is definitely a tough and frustrating team to play against. So many blocked shots by them and when you do finally get a solid opportunity they have a great goaltender back there. Thought the reffing was iffy tonight and they let a lot of the interference and holding type stuff go but I don't think it affected the game all that much. Ferris State definitely looked fresher late and I think a big part of that was the difference in types of opponents on Friday and that may be a reason we lost so many individual battles late too. It is real nice to finally be on the other side of a hot goalie stealing a game!

Think it may be a long game for Robert Morris. All Gophers the first couple minutes and then 2 gift powerplays for Robert Morris and they really can't generate anything.

Lacrosse games at 11 and 1 so it could delay the Denver and BC game coverage.

Could be wrong but I thought it was Gopher Nation who said that?

I think you may be confused, ESPNU is a real channel and has stuff on all the time, ESPN3 is the online service and not a real channel.

On ESPN3.com the Sioux game only shows up as being on ESPNU. The only game that shows as being on ESPN3.com is Colgate and Ferris State which I believe is the only game tomorrow that isn't scheduled to be live on ESPNU but it does show as being on ESPNU after the Sioux game.

Michigan loses Juniors Alex Guptil and Phil DiGiuseppe to the Stars and Hurricanes.

Did you ask him if the Sioux had offered or had been hinting that they may be close to offering? I'd actually be a little surprised if he already had a Sioux offer at the time he committed to UNO.

Most think it had more to do with CC just being a bad last place team this year while Portland was one of the top teams in the WHL. Supposedly they wanted him to experience intense playoff type games where his team would be playing for something and they didn't think he was getting that at CC.

Not sure how much he has actually watched Schmaltz play and think he may have just caught him on a bad day from what I have seen. Schmaltz is very talented and skilled and should contribute immediately next season when I have seen him he has been flying around and willing to play physical as well as looking to make things happen. I'd be a little surprised if Morelli is drafted and I like the guys we have committed more than him and feel almost all have better potential than him.

Tough loss for CC as him and Slavin were definitely the strength of the team, looking forward to seeing him with the Wild in the next few years.

I picked the Sioux, Minnesota, BC, and Providence to get to the frozen four with Minnesota beating BC for the national championship. Feels really dirty to pick that but I went more with my head than my heart. I have picked the Sioux in most previous years and they have always ended up losing so maybe this will work.

I think this is the best regional we probably could have hoped for. Wisconsin has some top end forwards but not a lot of depth of them and I really have not been impressed with their defensemen especially against Ohio State where they turned the puck over quite a bit and didn't make a lot real crisp plays. Rumpel has been pretty solid for them in net through the year but I thought he looked pretty shaky against Ohio State Saturday. I haven't been at all impressed with Ferris State in the few games I have seen them and I think Colgate will beat them especially if they can play anything like they did against Minnesota.

I think the Sioux will be in Cincy and get Wisconsin in the first game. I've watched Wisconsin play a few times now and they have more scoring ability than the last few years but also seem a little weaker on defense and have had some turnover problems on the back end. They have had very solid goaltending most of the year but I thought a couple of the goals Rumpel gave up to Ohio State last night were pretty weak.

It really felt weird to have to live and die with every goal in a game the Sioux weren't even playing in. I was literally celebrating in my living room with every Wisco goal. The game really was an exciting game and I didn't see that coming after a slow 1st period. Just caught a pretty good NCHC finish between Denver and Miami too and I liked the result in that game as I was pulling for Denver too.

Hopefully the 3 games in 3 days gets to Ohio State here in the 3rd period and Wisconsin can turn it up a bit and find a to win.

Looks like Josh Archibald is gone. Pittsburgh Penguins ‏@penguins 1h Hobey Baker Award finalist Josh Archibald (vote here: http://pens.pe/PTT5YR ) has joined the @WBSPenguins on an Amateur Tryout Agreement.

Big late goal there hopefully this gets Wisconsin going.

Huge chance for Wisconsin here with the late powerplay.

This B1G championship just looks bad and slow right now especially compared to the HE game. Hopefully Wisconsin can get something going and bring a little intensity, they probably have to have the next goal to have a chance to win it.

The boys took care of what they could take care of today and now we just have to wait. I hope the 3 games in 3 days will hurt Ohio State, LETS GO WISCONSIN AND UMASS-LOWELL!

Agree this game more than any other this year should tell us everything about this team. There should be nothing left in the guys tank by the end of this one and there has to be a sense of urgency and desperation from the Sioux today.

At least Western Michigan was trying to build momentum for the playoffs in that game, this time they are done no matter what after today.
