College Hockey This weekend

[cbrooks]

It will be interesting how UND does tonight. I'm curious if Hak benches Hexy. I'll be at the game tonight.

Getting pretty crowded up here isn't it? 1 point from 1st to 3rd. UNO will not back off either and are only 3 points out of 1st.

Anchorage was so close to tieing Denver up last night. Nice win for St Cloud last night. With the WCHA playoff system you're never out. A few teams lately have gotten into the F5 and made a run.

[cbrooks]

I have a feeling that some of these teams will burn itself out before the tourney just trying to get to final 6. Even then you have another possible 3 or 4 games. Then the NCAA tourney the next week. Hope my team gets hot towards the end and stays that way.

Say Hi to Dean for us. I would think the Sioux come storming back Saturday night.

Puck drops in Houghton in 45 minutes. Some early power play goals would be great, Tech has a terrible penalty kill.

Go Seawolves!! Please pull out a win tonight.

Nice sweep for SCSU this weekend. I'm hoping they aren't dead yet.

Nice sweep for SCSU this weekend. I'm hoping they aren't dead yet.

the Beavers did not look good at all sure they had some good chances here and there, I didn't find anyone exciting on the team to watch but enjoyed St.Cloud's performance...I've always like watching LeBlanc back in HS and now. Hopefully Beavers will be able to recruit well in the future with the new rink addition.

Sewolves couldn't pull it out. Denver continues to roll onward.

Very nice come back in the 3rd by the Sioux. I had certain thoughts for awhile, but those thoughts were not meant to be... Oh and that new rule about serving a minor penalty even after the other team scored on the delayed penalty...LAME!

UMD recorded it's first series shutout in team history, 67 years. One for each goalie which has to be a shot in the arm for confidence (Kenny has 2 in his last 3 starts). Okay, it was Tech and they are bad, slow,and terrible this year.

Off week for UMD and Denver this week, so all eyes will be on UND vs CC.

[solbes]

Almost forgot, we have a couple more chances for Yale losses this upcoming weekend. They play Union and RPI on the road (top 10 teams each). Hoping there is some bad mojo for the "Other Bulldogs".

I haven't seen BSU a lot this year so not sure if they were off. I did think Sat. the Huskies had a ton of good scoring opportunities and the score could have been much worse. Also Lee looks like he is getting into a zone. Eddy has been huge since coming back and they aren't missing Hepp's usual 3 penalties per game since he left.

This is the first year I had very high expectations and the Huskies seem to have flopped. The year isn't over but this may be a little too late. Still holding out hope that this is the start of a run for them. With their terrible start there is hardly any room for error though. Good news is they have a tough schedule which will give them a chance to move up in the Pairwise.

i think UND is hitting a rough patch in the road. Thats alright I think they will turn it on when they need to here on out. It was a nice win for them on Saturday.

[cbrooks]

This weekend picks are

Minnesota vs AA-4pts Gophers, they can't afford to not sweep

Wisconsin vs Mich Tech-4 pts Badgers

Mankato vs SCSU-split, this would be a good game to watch both teams need pts

UND vs CC-UND sweep

[Bear55]

i think UND is hitting a rough patch in the road.

Sounds good to me.

[Shorelunch]

Minnesota vs AA- 3 pts UMN

Wisconsin vs Mich Tech- Sconny sweep

Mankato vs SCSU-3 pts SCSU

UND vs CC-Split. Still not convinced Sioux will get "back on track" this weekend.

[solbes]

Minnesota vs AA-Goldy plays down to opponent and misses sweep, split

Wisconsin vs Mich Tech-Bucky sweep, Tech has problems

Mankato vs SCSU-Huskie sweep, teams on opposite trends

UND vs CC-3 points UND.

I can't figure CC out this year. They get on a hot streak for a couple of series and then turn it completely upside down.

Weird time for a weekend break, like BSU, DU, and UMD have. Omaha plays 'Bama so that's pretty much a week off too. There have only been 2 or 3 series since the long holiday break for some of these teams and they are off again.

Minnesota vs AA-4pts Gophers

Wisconsin vs Mich Tech-4 pts Badgers

Mankato vs SCSU-split

The bet ends tonight! CC in over time!

[cbrooks]

I can't believe what I've been seeing out of my team lately.

[solbes]

I'll be enjoying the game tonight with some of these:

Our first hombrew, an Amber with some good hops, is carbonated up and ready for consumption. Pretty tasty. Hopefully get a tad better yet with some aging. When's that Cariboo Slobber ready?

EDIT: forgot to mention some hockey. RPI up on Yale 1-0 after one.

[cbrooks]

Go RPI.

Black jersays for UND tonight[crossing my fingers]

[scsavre]

The slober is going to be transferd to bottles on monday. cant wait.

[cbrooks]

Cheers fellas. UND survived another weekend. UND is idle next week and then four more series to go

Watch the end of the Minnesota game. It look like they were snake bitten by another hot goalie. Yale lost twice this weekend. Miami/Notre Dame tied and UNO lost to Alabama-Huntsville in O/T despite outshoting them 59 to 19.
