O what a game that was. Back and fortha all night long. Both teams played great on both offense ans defense. That goal by Wheeler though, all I can say is wow. Hopefully they can keep it up now come the big tourny.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game tonight between the Gophers and the Sioux was one of the best games i have ever watched. Talk about a nail biter if your a fan for either team. Each team answering back with a goal after the other team scores.

The SICK game winning goal in OT by Blake Wheeler diving trying to just get the puck on net not hoping to score but it found its way right over Philippe Lamoureux's glove and into the back of the net.

Both teams played an excellent game, Jeff Frazee played an excellent game even though i'm sure he was trying to redeem himself after the last game he played against the sioux.

Going into the NCAA Tourney i think the gophers are getting back onto the right track. Playing like they did at the beginning of the season, and if they continue to play this well i would look out for them in the NCAA Tournament.

GO GOPHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think every shot on net a person takes, they are trying to score. He was more or less trying to avoid the icing call.

I myself have to cross the gophers out of the frozen four picture. Its just one of those feeling i have again. i think they are gonna go in there feeling on top of the world after winning arguably the toughest conference in college hockey and make an early exit (either in the field of 16 or

Hopefully the Huskies of St. Cloud University can get back on track. If i had to pick a team, (my tourney picks should be up tomorrow) i'm gonna go with the Eagles of Boston College.

The announcers on FSN made mention that some felt St. Cloud may have played themselves out of a spot in the NCAA's with their 2 losses, but you'd think finishing 2nd overall in the WCHA would get them a birth. Hopefully they'll make it.

Incredible game to watch! Wheeler's goal to win it was something else - he got the goalie going backwards on the dive and the puck floats over his glove. Great hitting game, great up and down action. Oshie from ND had a strong game - he seemed to be all over the ice. Hopefully the Gophs and the Sioux will draw different sections - would love to see them in the final 4.

St. Cloud is in, they were referring to the fact that they played their way out of a # 1 seed.

Great game by the Gophers, hopefully they can bring that grit and determination into next week. Looks like Aabama-Hunstville will be the likely 1st round opponent.

I wish your Huntsville comment was correct.

Yeah that was a great game. Blake Wheeler's goal was awesome. I was watching the wild game and they even showed it on their, and on ESPN Top 10 plays.
