My WCHA picks leave us with this: UND 39pts, Minny 38pts, St.Cloud 38pts, UNO 35pts, Denver 32pts, Mankato 30pts, Wisconsin 30pts, CC 27pts, Duluth 25pts, Tech 19pts, Bemidji 13pts, Anchorage 10pts.

Tigers get a goal with 10 seconds left in OT to beat Denver 6-5.

CC and Denver headed to OT for 2nd night in a row and 4th consecutive OT game for CC.

CC has blown a 3 goal lead in the 3rd against Denver and the game is now tied 5-5.

Looks like Jayson tweeted out the Sioux game will be on 323 so I will probably take his word over Hammers.

Hammer just said during the bball game that Sioux hockey will be on midco 1 and SDSU bball will be moved to midco 3.

CC and Denver headed to OT tied at 1-1.

Good solid all around effort and win tonight and a needed 2 points. Zane was solid again and got help from Mac on the save of the game. Knigh line created some nice chacnes and the other lines contributed with some nice zone time and smart plays for the most part. Hopefully we can get 2 more tomorrow but it was important to get this one tonight especially with really not knowing how the conditions will be tomorrow and never know what might happen outdoors. The 5 minute penalty call to me was something where if it would have went against the Sioux I would have been going crazy but since it didn't I'll take it. It's about time we are on the fortunate end of a somewhat weak call. I do think the guy follows through on the hit a little high but the initial contact is at the chest although maybe a little helmet to helmet to and the only other thing I can think of is it was a couple strides after the puck had gone by Senkbeil.

A couple pictures from today that I saw on twitter. Schlossman‏@SchlossmanGF UND practices in -10 wind chill today.

Looks like someone already asked Schloss on Twitter and it doesn't look like it. Ryan Schaefer‏@Schaef87 @SchlossmanGF I have a source that says UND will unveil special jerseys for the outdoor game. Can you confirm? Cc: @goon48 Schlossman‏@SchlossmanGF @Schaef87 your source is a bad one

I believe so I would think the league will have to review that and he will miss their game Friday.

Good solid win, kind of a sloppy 3rd period but that was a little expected being up 4-0. Anyone else notice the Wisconsin player squirting the crowd with the water bottle when Mersch jumped off the bench to try to fight Pattyn. It looked like the postgame coaches handshake was a litlle more intense than usual, think Hak may have had a message to send Eaves off with. Couple very important games next weekend that will probably have a huge impact on playoff seeding, gotta build off this game and get a nice streak going.

That's one of the biggest things that annoys me too. Just seems so unprofessinal with this group of broadcasters, no matter who they are talking about, interviewing, etc. they always call them by a nickname.

A little suprised to see Mitch in as well and also thought we might see Senkbeil watching from the stands tonight. Overall Iooks like Hak is looking for a little more balance in scoring and I thought we might see Grimladi and Caggiula flip flopped but I still think Caggiula will create a few more chances tonight playing with Rowney and Parks.

Who does Fredrick play for? Numbers look good we will need someone for next season.

Didn't hear the interview because I can't stand listening to the Midco team but apparently Wisco wasn't very happy with our fans. UW's Michael Mersch calls out UND fans in our 2nd intermission interview Friday night, Mersch quote:"you would never see something like that at the Kohl Center with their fans leaning over our bench which is kinda unfortunate." A little too intense and passionate for the BADgers taste I guess.

I know there are are a couple of local Juco kids visiting today.

Any rumors on goalies for next season since we will need one? Looking at the USHL it doesn't look like there are a whole lot of uncommitted goalies that stand out. The top 3 look to be Arthur Brey of Dubuque with a 2.11 GAA and 90.7 save %, Connor Girard of Dubuque with a 2.11 GAA and 91.0 save % and Kevin Lindskoug of Muskegon with a 2.42 GAA and 92.7 save %. The only one I have seen play is Girard but that was when he was in high school at Edina and he didn't really impress me there.

There has been speculation he is injured, but he really hasn't done anything to prove he should be in the lineup consistently when he has had the chance.

This game today has the feel that is a must win game. The RPM line needs to step up and score on some of these chances they're creating and that could actually go for the whole team too. There were 2 or 3 posts guys hit last night, Knight couldn't finish a great chance early in the game that would have created a lot of momentum, Rowney had a great chance and couldn't finsh, there are just way too many good chances that guys can't finish on. A lot of people have mentioned how the RPM line hasn't been able to score and whether that line should stay together or not and I think they should because they have created a lot of good chances and just have to start finishing them. Another guy who needs to get back to how he was playing earlier this season is Caggiula as he was a big scoring threat in the first half of the season and really hasn't created too much offense in the 2nd half so far although that may be because of a change in his linemates. A lot of different options to go with but I really think we have to get more offensive zone time and chances from our 3rd and 4th lines. I'd like to see this lineup tonight if RPM stays together Grimaldi-Knight-Kristo MacMillan-Rowney-Parks Caggiula-St.Clair-O'Donnell Chyzk-Pattyn-Gaarder If you wanted to break them up MacMillan-Knight-Kristo Caggiula-Grimaldi-Parks O'Donnell-Rowney-St.Clair Chyzk-Pattyn-Gaarder

If you are making the decison who do you go with in goal tonight? Gothberg played pretty well last night and probably deserves another start, but it would be his first time starting back to back games at the college level. Saunders was decent in his last start and has probably been a little bit more consistent through the year. Are you sticking with the rotation or hoping you get the same performance from Zane as last night?

Wish I was making the trip to Omaha but I'm not able to. I'm just gonna agree to disagree with you, the team does need to be a lot more consistent in their level of play but I still think we will get that. This team doesn't have the look right now of some of the very good teams of the past couple years but I think the potential is there. I think as a whole in college hockey this season there really aren't a lot of teams like that though. I mean even with the recent winless stretch we are still sitting in a tie for the 9th spot in the pairwise rankings and there aren't a whole lot of teams on that list that I would be dreading to play.

Well are you gonna name these great teams that we can't compete with or what?

I'm not sure you have, who are these other teams that are far superior to us? because I'm pretty sure we had the #1 team in the country beat on their home ice and let it slip away. IMO there is nobody in the country we can't play with when we play our best, which I still think we will start to see on a consistent basis down the stretch.

Very much disagree with this, Drake hit him on the shoulder and the guy turned and made it look worst. That call was maybe a minor but definitely not a major. The MacMillan play was something that could be called but I have seen a lot worse things that haven't been called at that stage of the game.
