Canada makes it 2-1. Pinto then takes a holding penalty a couple minutes later.

U.S. up 2-0 after 1.

2-0 US, another on the PP

Starman loves him some UND

1-0 US.... PINTO SCORES ON THE PP! Tip in front. Awesome.

Pinto on the first line for the US, JBD the top D-pairing for Canada. Good stuff for our boys.

Czechs beat Ruskies 4-3. Good start to the WJC!

Heave cry. Poor Ralph Cox, UNH.

That part legitimately makes me tear up and I'm not embarrassed to say it lol.

Oh my goodness, Turcotte with a disgusting, between-the-legs cross-ice feed to Caufield for a one-timer goal with about a minute left. U.S. scores 5 in the third and wins 7-1. This team has a whole lot of talent. Wow, what a pass. That could be Sportscenter tonight.

Pinto with an assist on a Walstrom goal. US up 5-1 with 7 to go.

They still have cuts to make, but yes, it's still sweet that he's going to there! Have to get the roster down to 23.

I think they have one more round of cuts, but I've seen nothing to indicate he's getting left off.

Welcome, DavidKarl! Hahahaha

Who's the real hero? The grommets? The loops connecting the banner?

I won't say I saw 14-1-2 at the halfway point coming, but I knew this team would be a lot better due to the influx of talent. I felt like we saw bits of brilliance that I figured would develop over the offseason. I'm one to trust the coaching staff a bit more than most, however. Last year was not fun, so I get that point of view for sure. With that said, I feel great for Bubbs. Such a fun first half.

I'd bet gfhockey's salary that they'd flip the Worcester and Loveland 2 vs. 3 bands, NO. DOUBT. While that would be A LOT of fun, it would also be very annoying haha.

I still think they'd send UND to Colorado over Mankato. The difference between location is nothing since it's a flight either way. They'll send UND to Colorado to get more attendance there and Mankato to Allentown.

Yeah, if we're both 1-seeds, we'll go Allentown. Would be really interesting if Mankato is a 1-seed, too. Three western teams and two of them will need to go east or "Midwest" LOL and one could very well be the No. 1 overall seed.

Not really talking about DU, honestly. Talking about us haha. Our fanbase will bring a lot more to Colorado than to Allentown.

I'd put my money on the committee moving Mankato to PA where attendance won't matter. Pack Colorado or add more to PA. I think they'll try and pack Colorado.

If we and DU are both 1-seeds, we won't be there. But, if either one is a 1-seed and the other is not, you can absolutely book it, we'll be there.

Another week, another round of weekly NCHC awards for the Green and White https://fightinghawks.com/news/2019/12/9/mens-hockey-und-nabs-two-more-nchc-weekly-honors.aspx Scheel -- Goalie of the Week, Judd -- Rookie of the Week. Awesome stuff.

I put this under "Other Sports", but wasn't sure. Mods, feel free to move. Pinto on the US WJC camp roster. Lots of NCAA love on the team.
