Uh oh....Miami only down by 2 after two periods.

CC up 5-0 after two.

CC 4-0. Hafner out, the big Slubowski in net.

3-0, CC!

Moscow Mules are the bomb yo! There's a bar in Denver that serves them in copper mugs and they require you give them a drivers license or credit card as a security deposit because people kept stealing the mugs and they cost like, twenty bucks a piece!

Naturally, when we need help from DU last night, they lose at home. I never thought I'd say this but, let's go Pioneers!

So who do we want to win in order to hurt Minnesota's tournament chances?

Bobby Hull in a Jets jersey!

Michigan State vs Minnesota tonight at 7 Mtn time on the Big Ten Network.

Don't exactly know what happened in their game last Saturday against Maine but I saw the Beanpot championship and I don't blame Madigan for being upset. It's got to be maddening for a coach to have to bite his tongue during or after a game and not be able to call out poor officiating and/or a poor call. Even the tv announcers thought that was a weak penalty to call in the OT.

Anyone have any dirt on why the two freshmen at Michigan State have been suspended?

Happened in the DU zone but refs missed it as the play had gone the other way. Sam didn't even have the puck! Laid out for a couple of minutes.

What a weak call by the refs...an to do it in OT. Wow.

I'll take Holden's and Starman's knowledge of the game and interesting commentary over the over-used cliches of Bucigross.

Thanks! That makes sense now.

Ken Landau, the CC hockey radio guy, loves to say the "where grandma keeps the peanut butter" line whenever CC scores top shelf (although, he hasn't gotten the opportunity to say that much the past couple of seasons) ?

Yah, you're right-he has made it known his love of college hockey. I just get tired of the glib nature of his play by play.

I've followed the game for years. I plead ignorant...what the hell does thin mints mean? And I hope terms like "saucy mits" and "twisted wrister" will go away.

I'm sorry but I just watched the recording of the Penn State/Minnesota game from yesterday (great finish, BTW) and I found Buccigross' commentary, play-by-play annoying. I don't think he and Geoffrion (sp?) can touch Starman and Holden. Wow, those two by contrast really study and follow the college game.

DU won back the Gold Pan tonight.

CC fashion, poor attempt at a dump in on the PP and DU goes the other direction and gets a shorty.

Thanks for covering, MafiaMan! I'm at the game, very nervous. C'mon CC! Power Play!

The reversal of a seemingly clean CC game-tying goal with just under ten minutes to play in the third period ultimately affects the other teams in the conference, not just CC and Miami. By winning last night, Miami picked up 3 additional points, moving them into a first place tie. A loss or a tie last night and it would be a two-way tie for first. Bad officiating in a game affects more than just the two teams on the ice-it can affect the outcome of the conference standings. I just don't want to see teams-whoever they may be-win or lose as a result of mistakes made of this magnitude by officials. End of rant.

Yep, other than Slavin ringing one off the cross bar, it wasn't a very effective PP. Four goals in the past five games won't cut it.

Yah, seconds later they call a penalty on Slavin for what I thought was simply a good, hard body check. (I could be mistaken though, perhaps it was a lagit penalty. I saw it live with no benefit of replay).
