Interesting to hear Mel saying during pregame that he's sitting some of the freshman to give some of the returning veterans a chance to play in the game they missed out on at the end of last year

I gotta think the winner of this tournament (esp since Mankato won) will be a near unanimous #1 next week. Either MSU solidifies themselves, or someone else beats #1 and has another top 5 win

Dang, their goalie w/o his stick, couldn't take advantage.

D'OH! Power to the box for slashing. [Edit] Announcer said slashing, livebox says Illegal Equipment @ 12:41. Playing with broken stick?

I'm not sure this game (or tournament) is gonna go our way but it's great to get our young guys some pseudo-NCAA tournament experience early. This is basically a tournament atmosphere this weekend. Better to get punched in the move now than in March
