1-0, CC! Game just started!!!

Thanks!

I wonder how Tambo is doing?

Well, I'll be at the World Arena on Saturday so I'll be more than happy to present SCSU with the second place trophy so that Fenton can be in Grand Forks to present the boys in Green the Penrose Cup!

I hope you all are right in CC taking a game this weekend against St. Cloud because up until last weekend you're right-they had been playing pretty good hockey but then they laid two eggs against Omaha, Friday in particular was really bad. Saturday, a better effort until the last minute of the 3rd and 55 seconds into OT....they played scared.

1-1 UNO with a pp goal.

1-0, CC 35 seconds in.

It's as if UND has accepted that they don't have any high flyers like in years past so they've simply out-worked and out-hustled teams instead. I like it.

So I didn't get to watch the game last night but in watching the highlights of UND's goals, it sounds like St. Cloud was lazy in front of their own net. Is that a fair analysis? If so, I would imagine a better effort from the Huskies tonight. Hopefully UND will be prepared for the push St. Cloud will give.

The game reminded me of the Broncos in the Super Bowl-hit in the mouth early, with no response.

Ok, I gotta post here and take my lumps. In Omaha for the CC/UNO series. Ugly right out of the gate; CC gets scored on 11 seconds into the game, team gives up a shorty a few minutes later, and Thorimbert gets the hook after giving up a third soft goal. 6-0 beat down but at least the Omaha fans were gracious winners.

I did troll on the SCSU forum and did find that it sounds like Andrew Prochno is going to be out but he's the only one I could find.

My St. Cloud State co-worker came up to me today at lunch and stated that UND will likely sweep them because they have two key defensemen out this weekend. Naturally, when I asked who, he refused to tell me. This is the same guy who was sandbagging a few weeks ago and told me that some of their key players had been suspended by Motzko and that he (my co-worker) was throwing in the towel on the season. On blind faith I posted what he said here and true to smart UND fans' fashion, some of you checked and could not find where there were any players out for suspension.

I like your comment about it having been crunch time for the past several weeks since their poor start. If anything, this stretch could-and should-make them battle-tested come playoff time.

A little off topic, but this Gopher talk reminded me of attending last season's Sioux/Gopher series...I Had the pleasure of attending my first ever UND series at Mariucci. During the 5-1 beating we took on Friday, my girlfriend (a Gopher fan) chewed out an a-hole Gopher fan for turning around and screaming in my face after each Gopher goal...even the surrounding Gopher fans loved the tongue lashing that guy got from her and applauded!

Karma does exist sometimes, huh?!?!

At Magness last night, a DU fan sitting a few rows away, was yelling at the Tigers, "your mother's a ...(word starts with w)!" CC scores the game winning goal right after he started yelling that. It was great!

Great game, loved to see CC playing good hockey plus catching a few breaks that they weren't getting most of the season.

3-1, CC beats DU and reclaims the gold pan.

My CC and DU buddies cracked up reading this! They say us Sioux fans are never biased!

I see Michigan crapped the bed last night against Penn State. That's gotta help UND too, I'd imagine.

So I collect team pucks for every college rink I visit for a game. I've been to Magness many many times over the years for CC or North Dakota games and, because of my strong dis-like for Pio nation, just have not been able to bring myself to drop money on a DU puck. I finally broke and got one last night after more then ten years of holding out.

I like them! Love the crest.

CC did us a favor by beating Denver up at Magness and creating some distance between us and DU. I went to the game and CC is really starting to play good hockey. Hopefully they can get their first sweep tonight at World Arena.

I finally figured out which channel the game is on Dish Network: 445
