2012/13 college hockey season and results

[fishing tech]

I was surprised Lucia sat Alt last night. Didn't think he had the guts to do it. He has been missing most of the season. Marshall has the skills and looks good but gets tossed around like a rag doll. Ambros has seamed to figure out the game. Warning looked lost at times making blind passes/turnover, but he had missed about 9 games I think.

Yah, it was nice to see lucia had the seeds to bench alt. He has been just terrible.

Ya despite the record and wins I can't really say I have been impressed with the Gophers this year. A nice win on Saturday but when you have a 3-0 lead a 3-2 win is a little scary.

I really like the Wilcox kid, playing very well for a freshman tender. Also someone wake up Bjugstad, he is showing flashes but something seems to be missing this year. Waiting for him to tear it up.

[archerystud]

Yeah the Gophs really aren't living up to the potential yet. I thought the only real question was their goalie and Wilcox is leading the WCHA in GAA.

SCSU should have been swept in Alaska as the came back from an 0-3 deficit on the first night. They get UNO this weekend and I've seen enough splits for a while. Oh and I'm not calling for a UNO sweep either.

Dogs need to make some hay against BSU if they want to get back near .500. Unlike the Gophers, we have 2 goalies that have struggled a bit. Freshman soring continues to be the strength. Camaranesi is an animal. Farley and Welinski playing well lately too. I am beginning to like this team for the following 2 years if McNeely can start progressing in goal.

We're still looking for that first Saturday win. Maybe its time to delay the partying till late Saturday night and sub in Sunday night instead?

You're in luck because BSU has no goaltending, poor D, takes bad penalties and can't generate much offense . . . but besides that . . .

Bulldog sweep.

cough cough Minnesota state cough cough

Speaking of msu 6 game win streak and tied for third now. besides the st.cloud series they have played every loss very close and had chances to make them wins, but failed. plus former back goalie murdoch had 46 saves in a big shut out win for lake superior state tonight.

[Bear55]

Usually taking 3 point at CC is a good weekend, just not when you are up 4-1 going into the 3rd and they tie it up.

Dear Santa,

Please don't forget about my Christmas request. I don't even need wrapping paper.

Thanks, Dog Fan

Sioux bring DU back to the pack.

[archerystud]

Quite the logjam near the top. SCSU just can't get consistent enough to pull out a sweep.

Thats what's great about the WCHA even the weaker teams like the Sioux North Dakotan's can knock off the good teams on occasion...

So thanks I guess Briceur!!

[Bear55]

Yep big weekend for UND, first the confidence builder Friday night in a 2-2 tie, good moral victory boys! Then the HUGE upset Saturday.

[drewww]

Wilcox is a solid tender. So is Demko of the under-18 US NTDP. It was fun watching the two of them square off a few weeks ago. Both of them have serious NHL potential, especially Demko because of his size and since he is so young.

[archerystud]

Look at who's on top of the WCHA!!!!! Boo-yeah!

Okay the Who has two games in hand but it still feels nice for a change after the last few years.

Hopefully the WCHA can rock during the Holidays!!!!

[solbes]

Congrats on the sweep Stud. Also cool to see Bemidji win tonight.

Watching the free online feed of Dogs from AA HSOforum. Those commercials are awesome! Tied 1-1 after 1, and I can't remember the last time we ever swept up there.

[archerystud]

Yeah that feed is pretty nice when your team is playing out of town.

[Bear55]

Congrats Archerystud, your boys are looking good this year.

[solbes]

Brooms for UMD. First Saturday win (thanks Santa!). First sweep of the year. And first sweep in Anchorage since 1996 for UMD. Hopefully our last trip up there for a LONG time. And this brings the Dogs to the middle of the pack. Not near the top teams, but no longer near the bottom feeders either.

It's looking like another season of WCHA parity. 6 teams within 3 points of each other, wow!

And that is not a good thing when our out of conference record sucks, everyone needs to step up over xmas and win some games.

[archerystud]

Heading up to watch the Huskies play RPI tonight. It should be Joey Benik's debut. I'm kind of excited to see the kid on the ice and he should add some more pop to the lineup.

Good Luck to all of the WCHA teams this weekend......even the Whioux.

[Bear55]

Lets stomp everyone! Looking forward to the Gophers/BC game Sunday night. It should be a good measuring stick to see where we are at.

[archerystud]

So much for helping the WCHA. Huskies played decent and got some bad hops ( Nebulous missed a wide open net) but they really need to win those.

[archerystud]

Nebulous is supposed to be Benik. Nice auto correct by the phone!!!
