Yah they brought in a touted freshman and yet there doesn’t appear to be any signs he gets a whiff of playing time.

Pretty much. This guy doesn’t give up rebounds, has good size and is square to the puck.

That’s Ken Landau for you. The biggest homer announcer in all of college hockey. Trust me, as a long time season ticket holder this isn’t a rivalry until we can consistently start winning some games and winning some Gold Pans more than once every seven years. I will give this Mayotte led team credit though, this is a much more physical and skilled CC team than that of years past under Haviland where we might get an occasional upset win over DU because Alex Leclerc had to put up 50 saves. That Miller for DU is the real deal, by the way. Mbereko played well this weekend but CC simply had a hard time solving Miller.

Clarkson doing UND no favors.

My bet is the Gophers pound LIU tonight. And if they don’t, you’ll see the pitch forks come out in full force.

Did anyone watch the Michigan/Penn State highlights? McKenna tried dangling at the blue line and got his pocket picked and the Wolverines raced down the ice to score a shorty to put them up 1-0. It didn’t look like McKenna hustled to get back and help his teammate.

So UND has to wear their greens for that?

So just joining the convo, can anyone tell me why UND was wearing their road greens tonight? Did ASU’s road jerseys get lost along with Omaha’s or something?

He’s sitting in a sea of crimson, white, and gold so yah, he’s easily the best dressed man.

I kid you not, there’s a guy at the DU game wearing a black Sioux jersey. Isn’t there a long standing joke about being guaranteed to see a Sioux jersey at the most random hockey games?!?!

I already told my wife that for the first time in almost two years, I will be buying a Mega Millions ticket for tonight’s billion drawing and when we win, we’re giving all of it to the University of North Dakota athletic department.

The fine folks at LetsgoDU! have really been slipping the past couple of years. As a CC fan I have for years looked forward to their parodies every CC/DU week but man, I’m getting close to the point where I might not even bother reading them anymore. They just aren’t that funny. Their latest started out with a potentially funny premise of soft Crocs skates parody but it simply fell flat. Just one guy’s opinion.

Late to the party here but did Omaha go and crap in their own mess gear those last 7-8 minutes of the game? I’d love to know what got the one Omaha player a misconduct. And man, that was a big time elbow that other Mavericks player laid on our guy. Did he launch himself on that elbow??

Ah.

Total slew foot and the announcer questions the call. Clueless. That said, CC got two late power plays and didn’t convert and then played soft defensively on the late game tying goal. They shot themselves in the foot costing themselves a regulation win and 3 league points.

Wow, such a sad pathetic life that Omaha fan must live. So thin skinned.

I’m sure there’s absolutely zero politics involved in who Gadowsky selects for the team.

For what it’s worth, and this is just one guy’s opinion but, I was very impressed with Omaha. I thought they had some good team speed and coupled with the goaltending tandem they played this past weekend at CC, I walked away thinking they will be a tough out for everyone in the conference. I will be the first to acknowledge that CC isn’t a power house but they’re still good and this was a series where they got swept at home so that’s saying something for Omaha too. I watched the game on tv Friday but went Saturday.

My ex, who was from Bemidji, stood up, pointed at me and began laughing hysterically, which pissed these guys off even more! Calmer heads prevailed when I returned with two beers for the dudes.

True that. BSU style hockey nearly puts one to sleep. So much so, one time at a Bemidji State/CC series, I nearly fell asleep from boredom when all of sudden with time expiring in the first period, CC scores on a breakaway! I jumped out of my seat, fresh new beer in hand and it goes flying and spilled all over these two Beavers fans sitting in front of me.

So did Jackson try matching lines with the Plante/Plante/Shaugabay line this weekend? Or did he just roll his lines?

At 2-7-1 is it time to hit the panic button in Dinky Town? Gopher fans seem split about Motzko. Off to a poor start but his resume over his tenure there is pretty strong.
