"Relatively good news"

Hennessy says there's some good news about Stecher...that he's still in the training room rather than the hospital.

CC loses a nail biter, 7-2.

God, we need Stecher. I hope it turns out to not be as serious as it sounded.

Hennessy doesn't understand what the penalty on Gaarder is for.

Irregardless (Mafia Man, is that a word?!), Murphy hasn't produced which is a bummer.

Yah, I wasn't trying to defend Murphy or second guess the coaching staff. I'm just wondering out loud if/when a kid decides it's time to move on for a place where he thinks he can play or if he accepts his current role on the team.

Good. I think we want UNO to win in order to keep within striking distance of Miami.

Would you be surprised if Murphy transferred or left to go play juniors? I guess I couldn't blame any kid who's wanting to play but isn't getting the opportunity. A kid from CC just left the program for this reason, I wouldn't hold it against Murphy either.

As much as I don't think Cam should start tonight, I will say that sometimes, starting a backup goaltender can have the effect of making the players in front of him play much tighter defensively. If that's the case tonight, I could see UND playing very assertively in their zone.

When people bail early, does anyone ever chant, "Beat The Traffic!"?

Yep, I think UND is going to score early in this one. No messing around tonight. 7-2, good guys in green.

The risks are too high to start Cam tonight. A loss tonight would really damage our PWR. Start Zane and if we're up 3-4 goals, put Cam in then. Perhaps start him in the Niagra series and definitely start him against the U18 team since those are exhibition games.

Well, it made me feel all warm and tingly

So Wisco and PSU shook hands after the game. Is it customary for teams to do the handshake after Friday night games in the BIG?

In a packed house!

5-2, PSU

Fire Whitten

God, now I worry about the injury to Caguilla.

4-2, PSU now. Bucky with a pp goal.

God, another goal would be great. Oh wait, didn't a prominent Minnesota announcer recently say he'd take a tie over a two goal lead?

Kohl Center makes World Arena look full!

4-1 PSU now

Crap. Hard to find a moral victory in yet another loss.

BC and UNH in overtime.
