This is college hockey....all hard hits are penalties.

Yeah Patyn would do something dumb like that to put his team in a hole so he can act like he's a tough guy.

I noticed the same thing....either way at first glance it was 2....that's the first thing I said when it happened live. My buddy the. Proceeded to say watch this guy he's gonna lay there for a few minutes and draw a five. Just because there's a loud boom doesn't mean you automatically call five. Sorry I watch a ton of nhl hockey so watching college officiating is almost mind boggling. Worst part about college officiating is the lack of officiating talent.

You're ridiculous. They were trying to draw 5 the whole time. Call should have been a two minute boarding call, that's it.

Haha the guy that's supposedly hurt gets the goal...that's funny

I've watched it again....that's a two minute boarding call. Refs are terrible that kid stands up it's 2

That should be 2.

Well....no point in watching tonight.

Brock N......6 goals in last 10 games. Kid's starting to heat up!

They will. Last week I had to literally tell them the Directv channel as they kept telling me it wasn't on. I was right.

Oh wow...true.

Yes....all the small rinks have great site lines.

This team cannot catch a break can it....not looking good. I wonder if this was in practice because Gothberg looked fine on Saturday.

Very true....I would like that a lot.

Yeah this article is filth and biased.

http://www.uscho.com/2014/01/22/minnesota-former-in-state-conference-foes-break-up-second-half-with-new-tourney/ In this article Donny notes “We thought we could replicate the success of the Final Five,” said Lucia, “but with everyone knowing in advance who’d be there. We were hoping we could grow this to be as exciting as the Final Five.” I think they are missing the #1 ingredient on why the Final Five was so successful.

Wilkie has sure been hot lately....I am starting to think I was a tad hard on him earlier in the year. Either way I think Poganksi must play another year of juniors and it would be a good idea for Wilkie to as well. I'm guessing Wilkie would be one of the top USHL players next year or at least be a pt/gm type of guy.

I honestly think MIami is going to make a push. I saw we sweep DU this weekend and split the Miami weekend.

Ding ding ding....yes the comparison should not be there. I agree with your initial assessment.

Those employers own the CHL.

I agree with everything you just said. I respect the players in the CHL because that league is beyond awesome, however the sleezy stuff mgmt does is terrible. The league started to get nervous during the mid-2000s when some top notch prospects starting heading to school rather than Canada....then they went full court press. If my son was talented enough and was a blue-chipper I would still send him to college no matter what he said....it's character building. I have a buddy I skate with in the summers who was drafted early second round, averaged over a point per game all through 4 years (each season for that matter), and still couldn't cut it. It wasn't that he wasn't talented enough, it was because his body could never hold up through an 82 game season with those gladiators. My point being, school would be the number one option in my mind because no matter how talented you are, nobody can predict what you will do in the NHL, except those super elite players. Even Toews and Crosby have had some head injuries already, one has to wonder how many more they can withstand.

Well my only counter would be what you need to work on. One league has older players the other has a majority of the top talent in the entire world. For him, I think that going against bigger older competition would have helped him more as he is skinny and has offensive skill. If size wasn't an issue and he needed to work on his offensive game I would have said head north. I am not going to argue against the top developmental league in the world because that won't carry too much weight outside of this forum, however leaving the team mid-season is my one and only problem.

He was underestimating the difficulty of the leauge, in regards to playing against older competition.

Luke, Parks

Nice....that's a nice game.
