Tig looks like you'll mostly likely draw UND at the Ralph net weekend so your illustrious hardware gathering campaign will have to be put on hold one more season (again),

CC was very impressive in the methodical, controlled road hockey they played last night, and I also always see them trot out new power play wrinkles when they play the Pioneers. A lot of slides and overloads on their four PPs. While the game was well played, CC's extra power plays turned out to be a difference maker - as Gwoz intimated, they got some "friendly whistles" as the team that is still fighting for its playoff life, while DU as a clinched team, did not get much benefit. That's part of hockey, and DU will need to be more effective on special teams as well as getting more rubber on Howe if they want to get the win in the Springs. Twenty six shots is a low total when you are giving up over 30 going the other way. DU is going have to crash the net more and get some garbage goals in traffic/on rebounds. The are also going to need to get Wiercioch and Donovan into the play a bit more.

If UND beats Tech tonight, then CC will go up to Duluth. Given that Tech has only 1 road win all season, and UND is playing well as of late, CC will most likely not draw UND next weekend.

Someone needs to get you and Gwoz a tissue. There may have been 1 slightly soft call that went CC's way, but it was still a penalty. Friendly road whistles, really??

Personally, the only call from last night that I had a problem with was Tyler Johnson (I think that's who it was) only getting 2 minutes for the head-shot he laid on Knowlton. I thought that was a bit more dangerous of a play than a regular minor and probably deserved a major.

The breakaway was a clean swipe of the puck, the CC player fell onto the stick. Colborne and Prosser offsetting was a joke. Rhett got blatantly crosschecked right in front of Shepherd. Just sayin. DU didn't help by committing several legit infractions though. Plus DU never seemed to play like they were in a position to win, I think. Game wasn't lost because of the stripes, it just made it that much tougher to watch.

Congrats to Denver for winning the Gold Pan back. As much as I hate to say it out loud, you guys have one hell of a team this year. We'll get it back next year, though!

Say what??? We have a MacNaughton and a Gold Pan (awarded on back2back nights) blocking our hearing....but please don't forgive our arrogance.

Those two things didn't do us much good two seasons ago. Just saying.

Seriously, DU is a fantastic team this year with amazing goaltending. I think this team will go along way in the tourney. Congrats on a great regular season.
