Skille hits the crossbar...Later Okposo feeds Lewis who walks in and hits the post. Still 2-1 US
-
Thats how it's been in the past.

Can someone toss on here the link to watch US vs. Sweden please?
-
I don't think it's clear at all that Tyler was a "cancer", a pretty offensive and loaded term. What's clear is that he wasn't living up to the expectations of the coaching staff and that's it. Everything else is speculation. It's ok to speculate but IMHO drawing such a conclusion as you did is unfounded.
-
What an amazing talent to watch. I feel fortunate to have seen him play for the past few years. I will remember quick hands, hockey sense and great vision. My prayers are with you Tyler.

They should dominate, but Hak will have them back off on the physical side as they have done in these games in the past. You really don't want anyone to get hurt, on either side. That will reduce the domination aspect.
IMHO if you expect the Sioux to dominate this game you will be disappointed. I say this for a couple of reasons:
1. Look at the U18's record against good college teams. They won't be intimidated.
2. This is a tough game for the Sioux to get up for. It's just an exhibition game and generally those that haven't received much ice time get their chance to shine.
I could be wrong, but I expect it to be close.

how about them?? they are playing solid hockey right now. on a nice streak. to bad they dont give banners out for that. really who gives a flying fk right now
oh wait, i guess you do, nice screen name as well 
WCHA fantasy hockey players care, shame on you!
-
I just got back from Joe Sensors and I think that they played an ok game. Porter hits the post and CC comes down and scores, it is a game of inches. This team will not win untill they get production from everybody. I think that it is a must win for Sat. Is it just me or everytime I would glance over to watch the Minn game they are always on a PP?
Yeah, the Minny boosters do a great job of paying off the refs.
-
I bet if you looked up how good teams fare in Alaska you would be surprised. The Gophers traditionally drop at least one game up there. Now add to the mix that AA is improved and I am not that surprised with last weekends results. AA is playing with confidence right now, for some reason the Sioux are not.
-
Here are my three minus stars:
1. redwing77's brutal whining
2. Bad spellers on this board
3. Brad Schlossman going all the way to Anchorage to give off bad vibes about hot goalies
And, if I could get away with it, I'd also blame the atmosphere at the Ralph.
I think it's Kessells fault.
-
brad has the 2nd goal as toews not chorney with a tip in, did TH or the uaa feed announce that??
TH hasn't updated it yet. This is important for some of us.
-
It should have been a penalty. Ask the Sioux fans though, ADAM is just bad. Guentzel between periods said that he had never seen a ref change his mind 4 times on one call. (referring to the player leaving the bench early)
-
Doggies make a nice play, 3-1 Gophers.
-
I refer you to my "priceless" post on page 1. Your picture may be clear, but everything is sooo black and white, especially concerning the Gophers.
-
Did anyone else watch Stoa undress Niskanen? 3-0 Gophers
-
Is mine the only feed that gets grainy full-screen? Don't get me wrong, it rocks to just be able to watch the game. I'm just asking.
-
Chorney got caught pinching.
-
Thanks for the link, but I need at least 3 tickets, and would be willing to purchase the 4th.
Raymond with a 5 minute CFB and gets tossed. It looked kind of weak.
-
great post!!

I love it when the
gophers and Sioux start 30 minutes apart, it optimizes viewing!
-
"yawns"
Easy now....I got a point from Barriball!

Wisco vs. AA video feed...check
Another weekend of WCHA hockey.....PRICELESS!

No team in college hockey is hated more than Minnesota. It's very similar to the Yankees in MLB. Everyone hates the best. I enjoy it and look at it as an honor to be the team everyone wants to beat.
Wake me up when this is over!
I think the comparison of Maine and Wisconsin is a good one. Very similar close checking style. I look for UND to split or get win/tie this weekend. Low scoring though, winning team with 3 goals max.
-
Look at the language describing Carman's actions, "goonery", "bush league tactics", "running the goaltender". All from people that I assume never saw the play. There is a big difference between charging hard to the net (the way Carman's actions were described) and running a goaltender with intent to inflict physical harm. Some posters assumed Carman did the latter without any evidence. Especially you RedWing, you hoped that he got sat and went on a rant about running the goaltender. Did you see the play?
As for Lucia, IMO he is not different than any other coach on this matter. No coach enjoys watching his tender take hits, even if they are clean.
-
It might help you to watch the game a little. I mean, I know I've been wrong a time or two, but what you are saying is simply unbelievable.
In all deference to all who responded to this comment, the only hit that got close to what Fire Helmet guy has said is the hit Porter put on KLUBERTANZ, not Carlson. I read that Carlson's injury was a result of getting tangled up by his skate or his skate caught in a stick or something. Porter's check on Klubertanz was legal and it was NOT a knee-to-knee hit. If it was, that I'd surely expect Porter to have gone to the box. Regardless of who initiated the check, the contact was made thigh to thigh. And I know this is merely tit for tat, but the rules state knee to knee is a no-no, not necessarily thigh to thigh. A loophole? Quite possibly. However, for now, it was legal. I didn't like the hit, myself, but it wasn't bush league by any means.
And as for the Bina hit, which commentators were you listening to? I didn't get the Sioux Radio's take on it or CSTV's take on it. I didn't get UW Radio's take on it. But I did get FSN's take on it and they only said it was a hit from behind. A replay of the one Bina was penalized for clearly showed that Bina elbowed the guy and not checked him from behind. A good call by Shepherd, for sure.
But seriously, you need to take off your maroon and gold glasses if you think that what happened last night with Carmen and Flynn was "ok" and yet when it happens to your team it's suddenly not ok. That's the whole contention behind Lucia. Not that the Gophers are really Bush League.
I don't understand what the big deal is. First off, I watched the whole UND vs. Bucky game and didn't see any "dirty" hits from either side. As for the Gopher game, I doubt anyone can really comment first-hand unless they were at the game(no TV). From the accounts I have read, Carman was charging the net, not running the goalie. That is a play that any fan wants their team to do but at all costs wants to avoid having done to them. Again, I don't think it was dirty, just aggressive. Finally, Flynn's reaction brought a smile to Lucia's face because it showed that he had Carman's back. In my opinion that pleased tDon because it signalled to him that this team may have more chemistry and comraderie(sp) than some in the past. Being a little soft was a consistent and realistic criticism of the Gophers recently, especially last year. You can be tough without being dirty, don't you think?
