Shouldn't there have been a holding call on the DU guy before Caggs even was on the ice???

Forget about it I cannot remember. I am also not sure if the penalty was actually on him or if he was simply super pissed....I just remember the replay and we were all blown away by the phantom call.

I don't mind shootouts to end a minor tournament or regular season hockey game. It appears it's part of the game now so teams must adjust. However not doing a full period 4x4 like the nhl does is beyond me.

Xcel is in disaster recovery right now. Everyone back home stay safe, this isn't good.

Get the O'donnell (I believe) clip....that one is a beaut. There was also a real bad one early....then the rest of the game the refs were searching for anything that fit one of their definitions.

In all honesty it wasn't that bad however he did knock the guy down (who didn't have the puck) so for me personally, I was crossing my fingers it wouldn't be called...but it did. I just think that the hit had no meaning in the play, the DU guy could never have gotten the puck....I simply questioned why Ausmus would even hit him in the first play so late in the game....knowing how bad college officiating is.

I think we'll get in regardless....slowly but surely.

Exactly, like it or not, if we get these guys who soley run around and lay big hits well after the opposing team players have the puck we will be sitting in the box a lot. Simply called out Ausmus because it was obvious to me that a play like that would at least get the refs thinking 'should I blow the whistle' those are not the plays we want towards the end of a very close game. That's not being physical that's simply not using your head.

Both goals were not good however Saunders made a couple big saves and he was not the reason they lost.....Brittain was.

Saunders was clearly going to cover the puck and ausmus hit the guy who didn't even have the puck. Do I think it should have been called, not a few years ago however the game is changing. You can't hit a guy that doesn't even have the puck....it's interference. They called a cross check however it should have been interference. When the game is still in reach and your deep into the game, you cannot even attempt to do something iffy.

Und did look better than DU both night....I wouldn't worry too much about facing them in the playoffs ( at least not compared to scsu and Miami for that matter). Brittain is one hell of a goalie and had one of his best nights on paper I'm guessing. I think that first line of ours has to become more productive and ausmus has to sit in favor of Thompson until he realizes when it is ok for him to take a dumb penalty and when it is not. I thought Saunders looked fine and hopefully the team is comfortable with him back there until gothberg is healthy again.

Well all good things come to an end however the boys didn't lay down....I thought they played well tonight. Brittain was an absolute beast.

All in all the boys have looked really good. Brittains playing awesome and they have had some help from the refs. Also, und has taken some bad penalties ( ausmus is the only one I remember).

Nice assist from the zebra.

I haven't watched a ton of fsn hockey this year but they are the worst homers.....both those team are from MN

Haha this tendy has been good though.

Was that tipped?

Brittain is good....wow. Is he drafted?

From my view it was shoulder to shoulder....interference for sure though.

Pulling hard for the bulldogs....this weekend could sure help us in the pw.

The Denver players actually held caggs

The penalties were bad....the refs are obviously leaning towards Denver.

Don't get it.

Odonnells (I believe) was not a penalty....didn't see macs

And this is why college hockey is tough to watch the games are predetermined
