CC has been playing much better hockey the past month and a half. Two weeks ago at St. Cloud was their best weekend of the season-and all that without the services of their leading scorer Trey Bradley who was suspended two games by the league for a nasty head contact check down in Huntsville. UND should not-and will not-take CC lightly but I still think UND has way more depth and should win both games. CC I think has found their goalie in freshman Jacob Nehama so get lots of pucks to the net and greasy goals, like Sanderson's fantastic, gritty goal last night.

In light of some here inferring that UNO is jealous of UND, would that mean UNO would be UND's version of "Jan Brady State"? Or is that distinguished nickname reserved only for SCSU?

As much I don't care for the Bison, I think it would elevate hockey at every level in North Dakota if NDSU had a D-I program. I find it hard to believe there isn't a contingent of wealthy NDSU alums who follow the game who haven't/wouldn't step up similar to the guy out in Tempe and help fund a program. The Sheels Center would be the perfect location in the near- and mid-term and if the sport grew in popularity, they could always consider building a bigger, on-campus arena. What great regional rivalries with UND, Omaha, St. Cloud, and Mankato, to name a few NDSU could have once they're established. I believe a rising tide lifts all boats and this could be great for western expansion of the game and could really propel ND high school and youth hockey as more and more kids would want to play hockey due in part to the interest a Bison hockey team would generate. Someone else mentioned it too that could you imagine the rivalry between UND and NDSU?!?! I would guarantee the Ralph would be packed to the gills when the Bison come to town-and vice versa!

I was trolling over on the St. Cloud fan forum and they're all standing on the ledge about to jump. Complete and utter dis-belief that their boys lost to lowly CC.

Very glad to hear that as CC has been playing much better over the past few months.

CC Tigers!!!!

I bought four tickets for both Friday and Saturday night games at Magness arena Feb 12-13 for me, my fiancé, and my parents. Long story short, my parents can't come so I'm looking to sell two of the four tickets for each game at what I paid for them-face value at the DU box office last fall. Give me a call or text if interested. Section 6 row 19 for Friday and Section 4, row 10 for Saturday. $128.00 for all four (two seats for Fri and two on Sat). Seats are right next to mine in the visitor section (attacking zone of DU for two periods). My number is 701-335-9035. -Dan Maddock

I love it-Caggiula's new nickname, "The Mayor of Dangle City"

A buddy of mine claims that Caggiula's goal was the top play on Sports Center. Can this be confirmed?

This just announced...The Battle on Blake coming up in Feb. between CC and DU will be televised on Root Sports.

NHL Network re-aired the Canada/Finland game this afternoon. With just under ten minutes left in the game and a tie game, there was a penalty called on Canada and the camera went in on the Canada team bench and did any of you catch the team Canada fan sitting behind the Canada coach tear to shreds a paper Finland flag??? I couldn't believe what I was seeing! He and his buddy were laughing about it as the guy tearing it up was so boisterous about it too! Very disrespectful.

What's up with Siouxsports.com? There's no weekend preview for te series this weekend and the site has been off and on all weekend.

Does it seem odd that Fox Sports North isn't televising the championship game of the Mariucci Classic??

DU and Notre Dame went to the three-on-three OT. Wow! It was everything it was billed to be! Both teams with some great chances!

UAH played as expected-they knew they were the less skilled team and they packed it in tight in their D zone and must've iced the puck about twenty times tonight.

Totally. And you're right-they have two solid goaltenders....that can help an inferior team any day. Side bar-I'd strongly recommend folks make a trip down to Huntsville to visit the NASA space and rocket museum. That was a blast! (pun intended)

On paper, UND should roll easily against the Chargers but that's what makes me a little nervous-they're coming up to GF and will be playing with house money. It kinda reminds me of that game against Air Force. UAH will play hard despite their lack of depth and talent. Hopefully UND will come out hard.

I went to Huntsville a few weeks ago for the CC/UAH series. I had a great time, seeing two evenly matched teams go head to head. I know CC is down but to others' point about helping out up and comers, I was glad to see an established program such as CC sign a home-and-home contract with UAH in order to help them build their program. A rising tide lifts all boats.

I see that AJ Greer has left BU.

CC's struggles continue. 2-1 loss but a very entertaining game.

Sometimes I wonder if MafiaMan really exists! He's our very own Snuffaluffagus!

That sounds more like SCSU fans and announcers!

Peter Maric of CC said to us last night that UAH had some of the worst ice they've seen...it showed as the puck was skipping around a lot. Lots of mis-handled passes, etc by both teams. Question: does anyone know if UND plans on coming to Huntsville next season in a home and home agreement with the Chargers? If so, I'd highly recommend UND fans coming out here-the space and rocket museum was phenomenal! Always nice to take a road trip and see some cool things in addition to hockey!

Kate and I will be at the Frozen Faceoff and the Hoggsbrunch again this spring! Looking forward to see everyone again!
