Godsmack

A buddy of mine (Gopher fan), went to the FF. While I feel bad for him, I won't lie, I'm relieved that they lost tonight because he-and a few ex's-would've really let me have it had the Gophers won.

I just played in a tournament in Winnipeg this weekend and I asked a guy who played varsity hockey for Union and he said that scholarships can be given to non-US (aka, Canadian student athletes).

Why would CC hire Guentzel if it's likely he's going to bolt for Minnesota the second Lucia decides to step down? I think going for another former CC player would be a better way to go. Rud fits that bill. Obviously, Gwoz would offer a lot of "sex appeal" here in the front range but that's probably just a pipe dream.

I think Gwoz would be fantastic but not sure if CC is willing or able to pay him what he wants/deserves.

That's a good call too. He was an assistant at CC under Owens at one time too.

Nicely said Wilbur, and spot on-great, clean, wide-open games between the two teams. Plus, Owens conducted himself with utmost professionalism.

Then I bet it's Rud's job to have, which, I'd be thrilled with.

Sorry, I meant to say Endorsed.

There's an article in the Gazette from about a week ago regarding Gwoz coming to CC but Gwoz fully enforced Owens and said he wasn't interested. But who knows? Now that the job is open, you'd think Gwoz might relish the opportunity to come back to Colorado and have an opportunity to stick it to DU.

Eric Rud was a great d man and captain of the squad in 1996 that lost in the national championship. Plus, he's paid his dues as an assistant at St. Cloud and CC. My money would be on him becoming the next coach. Norm Bazin is another name as he was an assistant coach at CC under Owens. My only question is, what's considered a "more prestigious" job? UMass Lowell in Hockey East or Colorado College in the NCHC?

Have had a blast reading everyone's comments today! I can hear your pride and happiness and it's great! Thank You! My girlfriend, buddy (who's a CC fan but was cheering for UND), and his girlfriend, and I went bananas last night when Gaarder scored! What a great feeling!

When will Denver and C. Springs get off their asses and bid for the regionals again?!?! Attendance at the regionals there was really good.

We moved down to some lower seats on Friday with no problems but the couple next to us got booted out...so arbitrary!

Kindof a quiet second period.

Cool, thanks for the info!

My gf and I are flying out from Denver tomorrow morning. We're staying at the Best Western Normandy Suites near the Target Center. Free shuttle to the arena but I hear it's within walking distance. I'm glad we get to pack our UND gear rather than our CC gear!

I gotta tip my hat to my alma mater, the CC Tigers. While I didn't get to see the game, my folks were there and my dad said that CC really left it all out on the ice. Thank you to seniors Josh Thorimbert, Alexander Krushelnyski, Michael Morin, Eamonn McDermott, Jeff Collette, and Archie Skalbeck. A bunch of class acts and they really played hard and didn't give up. Congrats to my all-time favorite hockey team-UND! We're going to the Frozen Faceoff! Way to face adversity and rise to the challenge!

And a USA and Finland hat each to boot!

I'm not going to say I predicted this but for as many UND/CC games that I've seen over the years, I did not like this match up. That said, enough bitching about it, it's the series we were dealt with. I'm calling for a UND win by at least 2 or 3 goals tomorrow as the boys in green are probably going to stew on this loss and come out hard from the opening face off.

I never thought my girlfriend and I might have to be packing our CC gear instead of our UND gear for Minneapolis.

Here are the highlights... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eqLfVk4HN8Q

So who should we be rooting against tonight? Notre Dame, Vermont, Michigan, Cornell? Anyone else who can leap frog us regardless if we win?

Miami's kindof a strange team-last week, I went to the Miami/DU game at Magness and DU was all over them, score should've been like 9-2. Then, Miami comes back on Saturday and plays much better.
