Another trip to the Frozen Four, another loss. Ever since 2001, we can't win the big game in hockey or any other sport. I won't list them here, most of us know which games and sports I am talking about and frankly, I'm not in the mood. I am not bashing any of our players or coaches or anyone else; I will support this program (and all of our other programs) forever. But at some point, just getting there isn't good enough anymore. This loss really, really hurts. And now we can sit back and watch as another half-dozen or so players leave school early and Hak is left with a bunch of question marks and not enough answers come October. What a great offseason THIS is going to be. I couldn't care less about Saturday's game now, I don't plan on even watching it. And if that sounds like a sore loser, then so be it. I really don't care. October can't get here soon enough.

A lot of times in big games, the big guns for both teams get a lot of defensive attention. That results in some lower profile players getting the big goals. Duncan used to be a low profile player, but now everyone knows who he is and what he is capable of. I think someone like Fabian or Bina will win it for us tonight.

We have to stop the stupid neutral-zone turnovers! We had more turnovers than a bakery in the 2nd period! The Eagles are going to generate a lot of chances on their own, we don't want to give them more odd-man rushes on top of those. Lammy playing a fantastic game; as long as he doesn't get too emotional and lose focus, he'll be fine. We MUST score on this upcoming Power Play and then play stingy defense (no more stupid turnovers) if we want to advance to Saturday night.

I agree, this game will be decided in the 3rd period.

Norton is a good analyst and knows the game, but there is a definite Eastern bias with him. Not as bad as some of the other E$PN clowns, but it is there.

We have to stay out of the box or we will not win this game. The momentum was ours until those back-to-back penalties by Bina and Porter. Stay out of the box and we'll win.

CC station having technical problems. I wonder if Clear Channel owns them?

Same here, I was dragging my butt the next morning! But it was worth it.

I believe that the game times are 7:37 Friday, 7:07 Saturday and 7:07 Sunday (if necessary).

Bottom line....we get third place. Now we have to win our first round playoff series and lets finish Mankato off in two games. I hate those Sunday evening games.

Dang it, the CC feed is about 45 seconds behind the DU feed.

2:11 left in OT.

I think that game ended in a 5-5 overtime tie. We were behind by a bunch in that game, so it felt like a win.

The chances of a team above us losing in the first round are pretty good, so even if we get stuck in fourth place, we still might avoid the Thursday game at the Final Five.

Here we go! 5:00 to third place!!! GO TIGERS!!!

I can't believe this crap! A tie still gives us third place, so all is not lost yet.

Denver scores with 35.4 seconds left. 5-4 Tigers. Come on Tigers, win a couple of faceoffs.

Correction....No Denver Power Play, announcer screwed up. 5 on 4 with Denver net empty. Final Minute of play.

Denver gets a Power Play?!?!

2:09 left. More pushing and shoving. More penalties. This is going to get out of hand in a hurry. Matching penalties.

2:41 left. Tigers lead 5-3. Will Denver pull the goalie soon?

3:25 left. Tigers lead 5-3.

More pushing and shoving. Tigers would be smart to stay out of that stuff and focus on closing this game out.

Tigers kill penalty. 5:25 left. CC leads 5-3.

Don Adam talking to both Head Coaches. Denver gets the Power Play!?!?
