MINNEAPOLIS -- Listen, I'm the first to admit when the good guys get lucky a bit, right?They kind of did last night. A 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota was rarely pretty, though Travis Oleksuk's wrist shot that eluded goalie Alex Kangas for the game-winner certainly had some beauty attached to ...

MINNEAPOLIS -- Mmmmm ... you can smell the arrogance.Or, maybe that's some sort of snack food thing at the concession.Whatever. It's (almost) game time.Bulldogs and Gophers. Always fun to work a game here, but rarely fun to see the end result, because success hasn't been common for UMD ...

Over the years, UMD has seemed to develop a healthy dislike of St. Cloud State. It probably helps that the Bulldogs can't win in the National Hockey Center to save their lives, and the Huskies always seem to struggle at the DECC. The games always seem to get kind of chippy, and UMD fans don't ...

Just two days after the 2008-2009 UMD season came to a sudden and heartbreaking end, senior star MacGregor Sharp turned professional. He signed a contract with the Anaheim Ducks, played the remainder of the season with the team's now-defunct AHL affiliate at Iowa, and got ready for his first ...

Ugh. Last night was odd. UMD dominated in every statistical category but the one that counts most. With a split the best the Bulldogs can hope for, they have to come out strong tonight.Lines?Lines.UMDDanberg - Connolly (Jack) - Connolly (Mike)Bordson - Oleksuk - FontaineFulton - Akins - ...

"We can't win when we're the most penalized team in the country."Bottom line: Question calls all you want.(Trust me. I do.)At the end of the day, you end up battling the guys with the whistles as much as your opponent, and that's not a good thing. The guys in stripes don't like being battled. ...

On Oct. 18, there were words written in this space regarding the behavior of UMD students at a couple of the first five home hockey games.The reason for that was, as a parent of an avid UMD hockey fan, it was my feeling that the behavior needed to stop before things got to a point where mass ...

As reported first by Kevin Pates, UMD has suspended Chad Huttel for one game after his uncharacteristic off-ice meltdown Saturday night. Huttel got into a skirmish on the ice with Colorado College's Steven Schultz, and it spilled into the tunnel as Huttel tried to get back on the ice after being ...

There is such a proliferation of bad teams that it's kind of sick. We know this.What's even scarier is that there is a crop of teams that have yet to prove what they are. Are they good? Do they stink? Will they be 8-8? Why aren't they better?These are teams like Arizona, Carolina, San Francisco, ...
