You obviously don't watch too many games.

Odonnell hasn't impressed me the least bit so far with the Sioux. I honestly have barely even noticed him. However, he's not a 3rd or 4th line player.....but from what I've seen he's not a 1st or 2nd liner either....I've been pretty confused with all the hype I've seen in this forum regarding him. Hopefully he picks it up.

As example, I meant hypothetical....I could have used any two schools....they were simply on my mind. I also could have flip-flopped the teams.

Good thing they have 3 goalies left.....I'm sure he simply wanted more playing time.

Totally agree. The #1 issue for me, personally, are the number of penalties called (in most games). I would say it is not as bad as the WJC's and those Euro-refs but it is out of control. It seems to me there are many times where half the game is played on special teams. The big difference in the way the game is played between the NCAA and the CHL/AHL/NHL is simply the amount of special teams play. It seems to me WCHA refs make the total number of penalties, for both teams, roughly equal by game's end but definitely not "tick for tack". The gophs will have 2-3 PP's in a row....but then at the end of the game (when it is pretty much in the bag) they'll give the Sioux 2-3 PP's (just an example). Now, most of the penalties may be legit (I guess) but many are not...they are simply make-up calls. Again...officiating is terrible at the college level. If my son were good enough to play past high school/juniors I think learing how to play even strength hockey is one of the most important skills; I definitely have heard that being the choice by some kids who take the CHL route rather than NCAA. Sorry I'm rambling off topic....I'll quit.

I'll be back....I simply enjoy watching the best in the world play.

Fehr is equally as bad. If Bettman was doing such a bad job the owners would get rid of him.

VIkings lost...but NHL is back, US took gold and the Sioux got a sweep. Not a bad weekend I might add.

Boo

Agreed, u can't pull him tonight....but after last nights dominance gothberg should have started.

Just making sure. You typically never agree with me.

By no means do I think Saunders has been bad this year but gothberg has had no chances to prove himself and he was drafted...I just don't want to see him bounce because of the lack of playing time. Especially due to the team they're playing....if they were playing the gophers this week I would have never mentioned it.

So blown away gothberg isn't starting....I'm starting to feel bad for him.

...better than any combo. Those guys could fill the stat sheet.

I don't care what anyone says...RNH tore apart that tournament (15 pts in 6 games)

They got 2 after I left? Again, I want gothberg to start tomorrow.

Haha I was 2

Yup....gett'm while they're hot!

Hey now. Big game Tomorrow....Ceasar bar at 630

Rocco gonna crack the lineup when he returns?!?

Archibald just got his hatty....how did we miss out on him?

Knighter's got 4 pts now....nice

Yes.

I'm still blown away Parks isn't Canadian....dude lives on the wall.

How do u add pictures?
