      The entire team did not show up. Props to Adam Murray for coming in into a difficult situation and playing well. It was by far their worst game of the season. Gwoz sat the #1 line most of the 3rd period. I would expect some intense practices this week to get re-focused on the final goal.

            I could be wrong, but I believe that the home team gets its choice of jersey color, and the visiting team has to use the contrasting ones.

                Denver, North Dakota and Colorado College are the last three teams to have won the MacNaughton Cup. All three lost their semi-final game in the WCHA Final Five and then lost in the consolation game. Neither the Tigers nor the Sioux won their ensuing NCAA regional bracket.

                Duluth and North Dakota have won the last two WCHA post-season tournaments after having to compete in the Thursday night game. Some fans are strident in their view that playing three games in three nights makes it next-to-impossible to win the WCHA event.

                In largest part the rosters of the WCHA teams are filled with young men from 19-22 years of age, who are in the best shape of their lives. They can, and do, recover quickly from strenuous physical exertion.

                Next year the WCHA begins its post-season tournament format of four teams playing on Thursday night [with two advancing to the Friday semi-finals]. I admit I've been taken by surprise the past two years with Duluth and North Dakota winning three games in three days, but because the physical conditioning of college hockey teams is superb I won't be surprised in future years when a team wins three games in three days to capture the WCHA title. The notion that "teams can't win three games in three days" is becoming dated thinking. I don't think the trend will continue annually, but neither will I be surprised when a team wins "three in three."

                  I wanted to win this weekend, but I'm ok with the results. Obviously you want to win and have some momentum going into the tournament but I think the embarrassment and anger the team feels right now is just as good as momentum. Especially for this team since they seem to play so much better when there is a bit of anger and desperation in their game.

                    Let's hope you are right.

                    I think this team has some issues that need fixing around work ethic, d-zone coverage, allowing odd-man rushes, first line scoring, special teams and fragile goaltending. Outside of that they are fine...

                            Nice to know that Barry Melrose will be pulling for Cornell while broadcasting the games. You can tell he knows alot about the WCHA, since he pointed out that UND had to win last night if they wanted to go to the regionals.

                              That should help motivate Chevy. Scrivens is a good goalie, but he faces a lot more lesser quality shooters in the ECAC than Chevy does.

                              DU, when it plays to its best, can beat all those teams.

                                And I think they mentioned he is calling the games in our region. I'd gladly take Woog and the Rug over this tool.
