Wow, what a game. Hunwick was amazing in net, and those penalty kills were huge. I'll be looking forward to the championship.
Awesome. Reminds me of that video from the Devils' collapse a couple of years ago:Very impressive goaltending. I never thought they'd survive that third-period onslaught.
I guess the Sioux fight differently these days...
The past 2 weeks have been destroying my body and brain. I've been averaging a little over 5 hours of sleep a night, but yes, it's NDU, not south.Um, it's North Dakota, not South. Unless I'm missing a joke, in which I shall be deservedly chided for.
That's pretty funny. Didn't see that on the coverage last night.Very impressive goaltending. I never thought they'd survive that third-period onslaught.

Yup. I guarantee Vaughan's most lasting memory from the game will be the schadenfreude of facing down that fan, not scoring a goal.This guy must have been heckling pretty heavily from the outset, because after both Michigan goals, the players went right for the same spot in the boards.
It's UND, University of North Dakota.The past 2 weeks have been destroying my body and brain. I've been averaging a little over 5 hours of sleep a night, but yes, it's NDU, not south.
I think he was just talking about the context of that one game. And no one ever talks about goalies when talking about the "best player on the team" unless we're talking about Roy or Brodeur in their prime. Last night Rust was UM's best player on the ice.Speaking of Louie, how can Melrose rant and rave that Rust is "by far" the best player on that team? It's pretty close between Cap, Rust, and Hunwick, no?
Damn, that's funny as hell.Also, notice that Caporusso gives the finger right back to the fan.
Thanks Sparky!I hope some of you are watching the Minnesota Deluth/Michigan game. Great hockey.
ESPNU and NHL Net have some games too.Not the way I would have liked it to end, but man what a game that was. There needs to be more college hockey on TV, all of the games I have watched have been amazing.
Just for future reference, how do you guys follow this? Even with google it is hard to find solid info (college baseball is the same way), and it is near impossible to find on TV, save the randoms games played on the Big 10 Network, etc.
It's like Michigan is paying for something terrible the last few years. Every time there's a little promise in any sport, there's more disappointment.ESPNU and NHL Net have some games too.
That was brutal. MD was the better team, but I'm still stuck on that No-Goal ruling in the first. The puck was clearly in the back of the net when the whistle blew. I have yet to hear a good explanation on how in the world that was not ruled a goal. Melrose and Thorne made no sense when trying to justify the call.
What a shitty sports week.
Not sure where you are but NESN usually has one or two games on the weekend. Same with CBS College or whatever that channel is called.Not the way I would have liked it to end, but man what a game that was.

Your post reminded me the game was on.What'd I do? Now I'm paranoid.
It's definitely hard. Luckily my school streams all of its home games online, but even then, it's hard to set aside two and half hours on Friday and Saturday nights to sit in front of my computer.Just for future reference, how do you guys follow this?

Dumbest fucking name for a conference ever. How can you name yourself the National conference when you have teams from one pocket of the country?National Collegiate Hockey Conference is official, will begin play in 2013, same year as new Big Ten conference. Link is their twitter page - can't find news story right now.

If Minnesota-Moorehead goes D1 and becomes the 12th team in the new WCHA, that would leave only Notre Dame and Alabama-Huntsville still out there as independents going into '13-'14.Five CCHA schools have been extended invitations to join the WCHA for the 2013–2014 season.Alaska, Bowling Green, Ferris State, Lake Superior State and Western Michigan were offered spots Thursday on behalf of the presidents of the six WCHA teams that will comprise the league following the 2012–2013 season.
The six teams that will constitute the WCHA following the 2012–2013 season are Alaska-Anchorage, Bemidji State, Michigan Tech, Minnesota State, St. Cloud State and Northern Michigan.
If that were to happen, I'm sure that would renew the talks of Notre Dame to Hockey East. Not sure they would be a good fit though as an 11th team because of travel.CCHA/WCHA merger in the works?

When the Notre Dame/Hockey East talk began earlier this year, I thought then the only way the ND made any sense was bringing another midwest school with them as the 12th team. With the current HE scheduling formula of playing each team three times, there is no way Notre Dame fits as an 11th school with up to a half dozen teams making a trip to South Bend for a single game. Otherwise the league is looking at a new, unbalanced schedule. I thought Miami would be an attractive 12th team to come to HE with Notre Dame, but with them off the table only other option is Bowling Green. Otherwise I think HE stays at 10 and ND has to go NCHC or independent.I don't think there's really been any change in the situation for the Irish. We're clearly not going to be in whatever forms from the wreckage of the CCHA and WCHA. If there was any doubt about that, ND's absence from the joint meeting in Chicago settled it. The remaining options are NCHC, Hockey East, and independence. I'd prefer NCHC, personally, but I have no idea what the athletic department is thinking or what's going into their decision.
RIT is a perfect fit for ECAC given their stature in academics.With RPI rumored to be hot on their heels, and RIT switching from the AHA to the ECAC.
