That was the single most awesome hockey game I have ever attended

[gopher_guy]

Hearing the Tech's coach was upset that the Gophers had their top PP unit out during a 5-on-3 with a 5-2 lead, and that's what lead to the coaches shouting back and forth.

Really????

Maybe try and focus on what happened to make the game 5-2 instead of worrying what personnel the other team has on the ice. And how about the MTU coach saying "Come on over!" To Lucia/Potulny when they were yelling back and forth? You're supposed to be setting an example for your kids, and you challenge the other coach to a fight???

Lost a lot of respect for the MTU coaching staff last night.

Too bad, because I was rooting for them to get out of the cellar, and I thought they played 50 minutes of really good hockey.

Charlie Coyle is leaving BU and will sign with Saint John Sea Dogs at the Q. That team is stacked with a lot of future NHL players. Obviously, Huberdeau has the highest ceiling.

Wow. BU getting hammered with departures. First Trivino and now Coyle. Really sucks for them!

Been a while since I stopped in to the awesomeness that is the college hockey club of OS. (you know, all 3 or 4 of us?)

Went to the Sioux game tonight, it was just an exhibition against some Russian all star team. Sioux dominated for the most part, 5-1 the final.
Fun game. Good to see UND has picked up their game and finally getting into a rhythm this season.

Can't wait for the Gophs to come to town in about a month.
