Been meaning to blog for a little while now, but day job and then a nice long drive out to Minnesota have been delaying things a little while. That, and I know this is my last weekend with USCHO so my brain is trying to go on journalism vacation early. In any case, I’m here … Read more

A good start to the season set the table for the Bulldogs. Theresa Spisak reports.
First of all, 3/5 last weekend at the Final Five. Thursday games hurt, but Saturday ended out the way I predicted, so whatever. I’ll take it. *grins* We’re officially done with picks (YAY), but I figured I’d toss out my regional predictions just for the heck of it. 1. I’m not offering insight behind my … Read more

Think of this as an ongoing continuation of last week’s “I love the playoffs” blog post. I’ll update this at various times throughout the weekend, “time-stamping” each one. So check back and read my thoughts! I’ll put those as well as fun quotes from the press conferences that didn’t make it into the recaps/features. Thursday, … Read more

In a game between the top two seeds in the WCHA, perhaps it’s fitting that the Final Five championship game went to double overtime. Perhaps it’s even more fitting that top-seeded North Dakota won the game with a goal scored by Hobey Baker candidate and WCHA player of the year Matt Frattin. Frattin’s goal 5:11 … Read more
An unusual trip down ice by with the puck by the Sioux senior was memorable.
Despite scoring the first goal of the game for the fourth time in 14 games, Denver still had to come from behind, scoring five unanswered goals over the second and third periods Friday to beat Bemidji State 6-2 and earn the right to play for the WCHA championship Saturday night. “We just couldn’t get it … Read more
Alaska-Anchorage’s second appearance in St. Paul ended Thursday, but the team stands to gain from the season.
On St. Patrick’s Day, it almost seems fitting that it was the team in green that won. A little luck never hurts, either. Bemidji State’s Shea Walters scored his first goal of the season on a power play 6:12 into overtime to lift the Beavers to a 3-2 win over Minnesota-Duluth and a Friday afternoon … Read more
Last week Theresa: 3-3 (meh) Season Theresa: 140-80-25 Last week Tyler: N/A Season Tyler: 141-54-21 Well, I’m using Todd’s computer because the internet in the X press box apparently hates me (grrrr) so not much insight here. That, and we’re 30 minutes from game time – sorry these are so late! I’ll toss in my … Read more

Well, we’re about to start the “Just got tougher” version of the WCHA Final Five … which has five games and six teams. But hey, no pointless third-place game, right? Also: Remember how Denver’s George Gwozdecky said a year or two back that the Final Five might be the best tournament in college hockey? Bemidji … Read more
Well, we have our Final Five. Nos 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 (or UND, DU, UMD, CC, UAA, BSU). (In some respects, it’s almost too bad Tech didn’t pull the upset – we would have had seeds 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12!) Anyway, I’m preemptively apologizing for not going to go … Read more

For the second night in a row, the Colorado College Tigers came from behind to beat the Wisconsin Badgers. Luckily for the 5,451 at the Colorado Springs World Arena, the Tigers did it in regulation on Sunday, beating the Badgers, 2-1, and winning the best-of-three series, two games to one. “We weren’t great early, but … Read more
