This happened basically on the first shot of warmups. The glass broke so the players went off the ice while the glass was being cleaned up and replaced. The game started about 20 minutes later than originally scheduled.

I agree, it won't be easy, but UND won the Broadmoor two years ago playing 6 games in 9 days but that was with a full lineup.

UAA scores to make it 2-1.

Beavers tie it, and look like the better team so far. 1-1 middle of the first.

I am already 100% content that Kristo will be gone after this year, so if he stays I will be extrememly surprised/happy, If nobody leaves early, this team has to be one of the favorites for the National Championship next year.

Watching the BSU vs. UAA game on the feed from Alaska, amazing how much smoother the feed is without the thousands of Sioux fans tuning in.

Rodwell was for sure in a sling, Grimaldi was the one on crutches.

Would like to see the Gophers win so we have a chance at playing BSU instead of Wisconsin next weekend.

Saw this article too, seems to be a recurring theme here with the cheap hits and suspensions.

I just read the Gopher's live chat out of curiosity and how in the heck is Roman the beat writer for arguably the biggest problem in college hockey? He knows next to nothing about hockey and seems like he barely even follows the team. Had very little insight on recruits etc, except stuff that anyone could google such as stats etc. We are very lucky to have Brad. He puts tremendous effort into his job and really keeps us informed on everything Sioux hockey.

It sounds like the numbers and names are being put on the new jersey's right now. They will not be used until the postseason however. The band has been wearing "non-Sioux" uniforms since the 1st of the year, not sure if the cheerleader's have new uniforms or not.

Commodore and Lee are paired together for Tampa Bay. The commentator made a comment about the coach having a hard time making D pairings because of all of the new players. He had this to say about Lee and Commodore. "They both have Fighting Sioux in their blood, they will figure it out."

I agree probably not gonna happen. At least in Iowa, Nebraska etc. there is a fairly rich history of successful USHL programs, so it probably could work there. Kansas doesn't really have much history with hockey, let along trying to establish a successful Division 1 program.

Those two teams are without a doubt the two lowest-profile team in the new NCHC, and they are still above-average level programs in the NCAA.

I love how when youtube "Kevin Wehrs", all of the video's that pop up are of him getting demolished. Poor guy.

That has been my computer background for a good 6 months now.

He was making a sarcastic comment implying that most of the UND fans at the Final Five live somewhere in the MSP metro area, so they don't come "down" from anywhere.

I stand corrected.

Is Lemieux expected to come in starting in 2014 or 2015?

No kidding, have any of the recent commits to UND or UM listed Penn State as a team they were even considering? I can't remember one player. I don't care if they have that brand new fancy rink, our's is still better. The rink is really nothing without the tradition. Ohio State has the largest and one of the nicest facilities in college hockey. Before Osiecki joined them they were a perrenial bottom-dweller in the CCHA. Once Penn State starts developing a tradition, then they could be a power but don't look for it until 10-15 years down the road.

Other garbage? Someone mentioned that Alex Mason was a prospective Sioux recruit, and we all gave our thoughts on it.

I'm sorry, but I honestly don't know if this kid will even be able to make an NAHL team, let alone an elite Division 1 team. He has 37 points in 24 games playing close to the weakest schedule in Minnesota High School Hockey, really nothing to write home about. He does have some good hands though, I'll give him that.

Frattin's high hit was on Wehrs. The hit where a Gopher player went flying after he tried to hit Frattin was Alt. There is a good video of it somewhere.

Ha, I kind of figured that, just trying to give you a hard time. The attendance figures would be interesting for a Big Ten Tournament in Chicago or Detroit. Michigan didn't have a very good crowd at the Frozen Four last year, but that is understandable due to the distance and lack of tickets. Would Minnesota fans travel that far? Its hard to answer that because for most people finances become an issue so they have to choose between the Big Ten Tourney, NCAA Regional, or the Frozen Four. If I had to pick one I would pick the Big Ten Tourney, that way I could be guaranteed to watch my team and be able to book in advance which would help with plane/hotel prices as well.
