The way the refs call the games is also a huge factor in this. I agree, the refs need to step up.

Actually T.J. OShie is in the top 44. 44 Luke Flicek Army SR F 28 9-19-28 1.00 Tyler Burton Colgate SR F 28 15-13-28 1.00 Nick Johnson (PIT) Dartmouth SR F 23 6-17-23 1.00 T.J. Oshie (STL) North Dakota JR F 26 12-14-26 1.00

I think if you look at the goal tending leaders from the WCHA Nationally and the refing I think there is a reason for the drop off. If you look at the numbers it is pretty impressive. That is not a lot of goals being given up.

Some of the pontification on USCHO is that the WCHA will take out each other during the conference tourney. Anyone think that is true? I think that when the TUC factor goes in I think that will further entrench the WCHA teams. Maybe one of the smart PWR experts can explain it to us because it just doesn't really make sense.

While the ruckus was going on at center ice Lammy and Kangas were congratulating each other on a good series. If you look closely to the video that someone posted on YouTube you can sort of see it. If I find it I will pm it to you.

I don't think so, I don't see B.C. going anywhere but Worchester MA.

I actually think that is impressive.

I just put him on ignore and that solves everything.

Yeeeaaahhhhh Jimmy Johnson I had in my fantasy racing pool last year and he won me some cash...

Yep that is because I drank it and filled it back up

Balderdash

Yep that is pretty much it.

The one guy that left the penalty box would be done for the year if I was the league commish. The goalies fighting, reminds me of the Avs and wings...

I like a good scrap, notice that no one is booing the fight.

Hey I was able to slip another question in.

That guy was given two DQ's for his move. I bet he is going to be suspended for more.

Phil for Hobey

That had to be expensive to take tow truck back to the cities. Good thing no one was hurt...

From what I heard Johnson came back to Grand Forks to be closer to his family. I also know he is working for Vaaler insurance.

Sounds like the Kiss of death

Isn't J. Toews supposed to return to the line up in Chicago tonight.

I am hoping davidson...

The boys will be ready...

I think I would rather have the Sioux play them now then when we played them earlier, I think DU is beatable. UND needs to stay out of the box and crash the net when they get the chance. Mannio has given up some goals during the second half of the season.

This is a sad story that I would like to see have a happy ending and I hope Hagemo recovers from.
