We've got tix to all the games this year, though we may not go to them all. Looks to be fairly wide open. Wisconsin pushed Denver to the brink in round one. The Rodents (Minn) rode a hot streak early and came back to earth a bit, in winning the regular season title. Duluth is getting healthy and is dangerous. My beloved Sioux are in the midst of their traditional late season charge under Hakstol. St. Cloud is a mystery to me, and Tech was a surprise for the season with their success and finish in the league.

I guess I do have an opinion on this one... The Gophers are playing well, they have one of the leagues top goalies in Patterson. He needs to be sharp as the other teams usually gun for the Gophers. The Sioux always scare me, as do the Pioneers. I know the Bulldogs are ranked higher, but their goalie needs to get hot. This is one of the very few years that I haven't gotten to at least a couple of games. Usually no matter who wins it's very entertaining hockey.

1-1 after 2 still.

Not too surprising with Tech's defense.

Tech scored 18 seconds into the third. Good game so far.

As for the tourney, there's always a lot of energy here. If the Sioux win tonight, all bets are off tomorrow. Sioux vs UM...records go out the window in the rivalry. It will be bloody. Always is, especially in the playoffs. I hate to admit it, but I think UM has the edge this year. Way too much youth on UND his year.

DU scores with 4:30 left to tie it up.

Overtime!

It's a very fun rivalry. Either team can be down in a given year, and it's always a good game. If the Sioux win tonight, that place will be electric!

DU scores just under 3 min into OT.
