I can live with that if it was legit. Wouldn’t want CC’s or UND’s opponents benefitting from a bad goal so can’t be upset if the refs waived off ours.

You guys see this?

So did the Gophers purposely schedule this series as a Sunday, Monday so they wouldn't be without their World Junior players? Lots of empty seats tonight.

It was a game play. Wisdom was going in on a breakaway when the Minnesota defender got a body on him from behind and pushed him into Close. Unfortunate things happen all the time resulting in player injuries. Good non-call.

That’s the word on the street. Motzko wanted to get his star players back from the World Juniors for the series. 
 

Also, CC is still on winter break so they’re planning on staying in Minnesota for the entire week as they play at Duluth this weekend. Don’t have to worry about missing class by being gone the whole week.

2-1 UMN w/ 14min left in 2nd

Sounds like a leaker by Mbereko based on CC’s play by play guy Ken Landau and it’s been all Gophers this period.

3-1, Minnesota

No problem with the play. It’s just happens you catch things when you’re shootings hockey game. Thank God, Close wasn’t hurt.

Cc getting curb stomped now, 6-2.

[Godsmack]

Mbereko got chased from the net.

Anyone know what CC’s pairwise ranking is now with the loss tonight?

Listening to Kris Mayotte’s post game comments. Summery: 

Couldn't generate much offensively. Gave Minnesota too many odd man rushes. “It was awful, no poise by us.” Mayotte’s quote. 
 

About Snuggerud….”He’s a world class talent and we knew that coming in and that’s what makes Minnesota so good but the way you beat that is by playing as a team but tonight for whatever reason, we couldn’t find the recipe to play as a group of five. We played disconnected.”

Logan Will/Brett Link/Ryan Beck line…created turnovers, played well again tonight. 
 

“We’ve got to be better; gotta get back to a commitment to who we are. It unraveled for us tonight for too long of stretches. Too long where we couldn’t get it back under us. We didn’t get the job done but the good thing is, we have a quick turnaround later this week.”

UMN back up to #12 with the win. 
Thanks a lot CC!

Not sure where to have posted this but did anyone hear Flyers coach John Tortorella’s response when asked about BC Eagle Cutter Gauthier being traded to Anaheim? -Leave it to Torts to give an interesting response. Sounds like the kid had no interest playing for the Flyers organization. He made that clear talking about Sidney Crosby being his idol on draft day while wearing a Flyers hat and jersey. 
 

Edit: If this post belongs in another thread, my apologies

“I don’t know him from a hole in the wall”. “I don’t want to talk about him”. 
Nice? Not. But he’s right in this case.

I'm sure there's some fascinating conversations at BC right now ...

I don’t blame the kid, but he probably could’ve handled it different. He comes off as being entitled.

I don't think we know enough about the situation to analyze it. That said, I hope it works out for him.

His advisors failed him. His NHL legacy is written before he signs his entry level contract.

[cberkas]

From what I’ve heard he told them when he was drafted he didn’t want to play for the Flyers.

I don't completely disagree, but Eli Manning, John Elway, Eric Lindros, Shaq and the list goes on, have done this. Can certainly repair an impression of image. 

Philly deserves a bit of the blame if the kid said he didn't want to be there.
