Brink was -1 in conference and +19 overall?

Smith

Thome will be in the net tomorrow. And the boys will win.

Pretty uninspired game

Nobody paying attention

Lots of game left

15 yards.... and a review

That second goal was bad. Scheel needs to get his head in the game.

I think the guys at USCHO have forgotten what the NC$$ has always said - a flight is a flight so proximity shouldn't matter.

Where are your priorities??!?

So what you are saying is that unless your coach played D1 hockey (not coached) 30 years ago and Grand Forks School District lets anyone go to Central regardless of where they live Red River finally has a decent coach? Paranica is a "decent coach" because he has had the pick of the best players in Grand Forks - or because he played at UND? And what was his coaching experience before he got the job at Central? If I remember correctly Red River had the first undefeated season in 49 years in North Dakota before Lamoine got there.

Officiating was poor. I told a buddy that the way they called things ( or didn't ) in the first period set up the rest of the game to be a cheap shot game. I even said I expected some gloves to come off, but I thought if a player drops the gloves it is an automatic suspension for the next game. I guess not since the penalties were called 10 minute misconducts?

I'm pretty sure St. Cloud won it the last two years.

I don't have a mug but I have a Frenchys beer glass. Of course, it has a place of honor in my man cave.

I don't know if one win for each team helps or hurts them in the Pairwise. Probably neutral. I was thinking that two ties doesn't help in the Pairwise as much as a win and a loss. I really don't know. Calling Mr. Dahl....

Gotta agree. One of the biggest improvements he has made is his ability to play the puck. It seemed like in the past he was just shooting it around the boards hoping it would end up on a UND player's stick. Now he is looking before he makes a play and the puck usually goes to one of the defensemen.

Would it be better for Pairwise purposes to have them tie each night with no winner in OT?

In the FWIW category, I attended a club game last weekend between Boise State and USC. It was entertaining but a loooong way from D1 hockey. There were a few pretty good skaters and a few that would have struggled to play on a decent high school team. USC played with only 8 skaters Friday night - the coach caught a bunch of them smoking pot Thursday night and suspended them

Forgot about Rocco already?

I expect to see both of them getting a start this weekend. Probably Thome on Friday.

Anything less than a sweep is unacceptable.

The only poll I want to see the team ranked number one in is the one after the Frozen Four. Let another team have that target on their backs.
