I'm going to bed. Wake me up if ND pulls a Miami of Ohio from a few tournaments ago...

Wonder if Jeff Jackson took this approach with his boys during the second intermission?

If Monty wins tonight and again on Saturday, I wonder if an NHL coaching gig will come his way? After all, he was a finalist for the Calgary Flames gig last year.

I'm going out on a limb by predicting DU wins this game. That said, I wonder if Duluth will try to muck it up with the Pios on Saturday?

After lots of first hand experience watching DU, it looks like the Pios are playing the CC Tigers!

When will we hear 'saucy mits'?

I wonder how that Priest on the bench for ND can handle all the f-bombs? His ears must really hurt!

From my vantage point in Monument, CO that was a goal.

Who's debate team is better?

Yah, so?

Wow, what a missed trip!

And then a teammate could've distracted the refs and another Duluth player could have come in from behind with the brass knucks!

I give him a 10 for that dive!

The Harvard guy who just yelled at the ref, "How was that not a hook?!" reminded me of Caggiula last year.

And yet the prices they charge for tickets! Sounds penny wise and pound foolish.

About to watch the Avs/Blues game which will be the first for Jost. I won't lie, I wanna reach through the tv and punch McNab, Mike Haynes, and crew in the eye! They're going on and on about Jost (and rightfully so) but it's just a little raw for me just one week removed from UND's season coming to a startling end.

Yah, did guys like Ryan Bayda ever get a whiff of the show?

Olson definitely deserves to wear a letter for what he does on the ice and in the locker room.

Point taken but no guarantee UND will make it to the big dance to play a blue blood like Arizona year in and year out. How much financial benefit did UND get out of that game?

Question: Was the decision to go D-I in all sports part of the reason for the school's current budget issues? Perhaps staying D-II in all sports except men's hockey and a women's team to comply with Title Nine might have saved swimming and the other sports recently cut? My understanding was that to move to D-I involved a massive financial commitment (more scholarships, improvements to facilities, coaches pay, etc).

It kills me that CC was interested in hiring Bazin as he had ties having served as an assistant under Owens. Unfortunately for Tigers fans, he was happy building Lowell into the national power they are today. To think where CC might be today under Bazin compared to what we've got now...

Man, lots of hand wringing over on GPL. The "FIRE LUCIA" voices seem to only grow louder. One Gopher fan put it so elequantly when he said Lucia does so little with so much and it got me to thinking that after Air Force's performance this weekend, Coach Frank Serratore seems to do so much with so little. Can't think of a program that faces as many hurdles as the Air Force Academy and here they were, giving Harvard a run for their money.

Winner winner chicken parm dinner. He likes to say that too.

Yah, he needs some new material.
