BTW, congrats to Minnesota State-Mankato for being #1 in the USCHO poll for the first time in the program's history. Very cool!

I have a long list of things I don't care for regarding Lucia but being considered for termination is not one of them. His body of work and accomplishments as an NCAA coach is almost second to none. I suppose Gopher fans have short memories and those back-to-back titles seem like ancient history but I guess my question to those who wish to fire him would be, who do you have in mind who can do better?

You're entitled to your opinion that it wasn't a sell job just like others are entitled to their opinion that it was. If you read my original comment, I said that the 5 was the right call but I didn't like the embellishment after the play.

Are the refs in the Dartmouth/UNH game wearing pink sweaters?

Is anyone watching the St. Cloud/Miami game? There appears to be several empty seats. I know St. Cloud is struggling record-wise but I'm surprised to see that many empty seats.

Good call, just didn't like the sell job by Rau.

And there's some justice...Michigan ties it up.

I bet you say it just like the guy on Inglorious Basterds!

What bugs me about that play wasn't necessarily the Wolverine player getting a 5 minute major but how Rau sold it and seemingly acted hurt but miraculously was able to be right back out there on the PP.

Rau?

What about the Go Go's?

I don't like the Russians but I gotta too my cap to them. They have proven that it isn't over until it's over. They easily could've rolled over and died but they battled until the very end. Just came up 1 goal short. I'll remember their effort the next time UND is losing a game but still have time to claw back. The Russians really impressed me tonight.

Yah. What's up with that? They interviewed the President of the IIHF at intermission and apparently they are not happy with how Montreal has hosted this year's tournament. They've been happy with Toronto but not so with Montreal (Details as to why not given during interview).

Touché. Well-played!

What did Blutarsky say???

Goal!

Is it me or does Russia try to thread a lot of passes in the middle in traffic?

Holy smokes!

If by some act of God, if Russia could pop one more in before the end of the period, they'll be back in it.

A big elbow laid by a Canadian.

5-1

Good call by ref on Domi for the charge.

Gut check time.

Crap, Russians tired and caught on a line change. Second period, long change.

No doubt! I've been thinking the same thing! Talk about strange bedfellows, I never thought I'd be cheering for the Russians.
