I don't think DE's effort was pathetic...they did spend a lot of the night chasing a quicker and more skilled Moorhead team, but their goaltender kept them in it, and gave them a chance. They came back and made it 2-1 mid-third period. I can't believe the cockiness of the MH fans, chanting "Scoreboard" for a 2-1 score. I was a student at St. Louis Park High in 1998 when they met Benilde in the section 5A final, and jumped out to a 4-0 lead early in the first. When Benilde scored and made it 4-1...there was a "scoreboard" chant. When they made it 4-2, a few started the chant again, and were promptly told to "shut up" by me and several other knowlegable hockey fans. By the time it was 5-4 Benilde, there was silence in the student section as they realized just how easily leads like that evaporate. Park ended up winning 8-5 in one of the wildest seesaw battles I have ever seen (Benilde was led by a young Troy Riddle). The point is that a one goal lead is hardly safe enough to get cocky about...even if you are a vastly superior team as Moorhead obviously was.

Predictions: Friday: UMD 3, UND 2 Saturday: UND 4, UMD 3* Sunday: UMD 2, UND 0 *--True to form...UMD goes up 3-1, only to give up yet another 2-goal lead. I'm thinking about actually going down to Senser's to watch a game...if my dad doesn't order the internet video broadcast. I'd really like to put some faces with pseudonyms (or "sudo"nyms).

That's OK. I'd rather play Wisco in the play in, than the Gophs!!

Did you drop out?

Dogs win 4-3! 3 of 4 from the Menace!

2 mins to go. Dogs clinging to one goal lead in playoff-like atmosphere. 1:28 left. Icing Dogs.

Why was it waved? Man in crease?

4-3 now. Dowell was not picked up. Dogs didn't clear when they had the chance.

4:44 left. 4-2 Dogs.

BADgers on the PP. Reichmuth coming up huge so far on the PP.

Stapleton scores!! 4-2 DOGS!!!!!!!!!! Wisco: 0 wins when giving 4 or more.

Vendevelde assists on a goal. 4-3. There goes my chance of winning the pool...

Reichmuth robs the Red Menace on a 3 on 1!!

4-2 AHA after 2 periods. NO MORE GOALS!!!

Coaches are jawing back and forth. Sandy thinks Eaves was delaying the game by complaining about some fans. A few fans were just removed from the building (I think they were Wisco fans).

Gawryletz SCORES!!! 3-2 UMD!! Shot from the point.

2-2. Jodry on the PP (of course).

Sconny PP now...

2-1 DOGS!!!! Peluso!!!

Why would you say that? I like seeing teams that have something to play for...not teams that have a birth in the tourney all sewn up. Seeing the giants fall is what I like.

Dogs going on their third straight PP. GET A GOAL!!!

It is now 4-2. Vandevelde scores for MH. NO MORE GOALS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's 3-1 Totino now. MH on the PP.
