2-1, still. Two minutes to play.

Howe deserved to make the all-tournament team IMO.

Yes it was. Lucia's first year as CC coach. From worst to first that year. Lucia basically saved the hockey program after Brad Buetow darn near destroyed it.

Yes, and I was there. A guy named Jamie Ram stood on his head for Tech as CC out-played Tech badly. That was a tough loss.

What about St. Cloud? Kevin Gorg said it was imperative that the Gophers win the F5 for the Huskies tournament hopes.

Empty net, short-handed goal for BU. 6-3

BU clinging to a 5-3 lead late in third over BC. BC on the pp.

Empty net with 3 mins to play

You're right about that! Howe looks like he did two years ago when he carried the team on his back into the NCAA's and scoring a win over BC.

You wouldn't know CC had one of the worst pk's in the league after watching them this weekend.

Five minute major on CC.

What the heck is the play-by-play guy talking about? What is a "drain cock"

CC is playing great so far. 2-0 late in the 2nd.

Perhaps Hakstol determines the line combos based, in part, on whether or not we get the last line change as well as who it is we're going up against?

Yah-I mis-spoke, I meant to say, "I bet Hakstol WISHED he had that timeout in his pocket for the faceoff down in the UND end.

I went to the game. We played fantastic the first period, tentative and-at times-lazy the second, and I'd say a push for both teams in the third. Dr. Hindsight is a smart man but I bet Hakstol had that timeout in his pocket when we iced the puck in OT.

Bad outlet pass, lazy play by Schmaltz

They just announced a scoring change: Kristo from OD and Knight.

Not sure if anyone commented but Grimaldi got stoned on a partial breakaway and then late in the first, Williams robbed us on a 3 on 1.

I flew into Mpls from Denver, rented a car, and drove down to Mankato for the series. Observations: -Never been to Mankato. Can add that to my list of arenas I've now been to. Got to hear the "Ole!" Song three times; hopefully no more tomorrow. -Very quiet student section and fan base overall. -Saw Mankato last Saturday in the Springs against CC. They are a scrappy, hard-working team. They out-played us but two costly mistakes cost them the game. -We didn't look pretty but we got it done. Pretty good officiating overall.

Here's a quote from a DU fan... "A little bit of grit in front of the opposing goalie during the power play instead of dumb penalties at the end of the game. We made the prima donna Kristo look like a star tonight."

It was interesting to read the comments on " let's go DU" today. One poster referred to Kristo as a prima donna. I guess my bias prevents me from seeing this, my guess is, any hockey fan out there would love to have Kristo on their team...including DU.

Is it true that the team didn't make it home? Are they stuck in Denver?
