Analysis
I was looking at the scores last night and this is the most parity I have seen in college hockey in a long time. Isn't this what the fans want to see? The RPI/PWR ranking are going to be fluid all the way to the end. A team is going to have to play each game out, there will be no gimmes. The WCHA goes 2-0 against the ECAC.

RPI Holiday Tournament
Northeastern 3 vs. Princeton 5
Mercyhurst 4 at Rensselaer 1

Analysis
The Princeton Tigers beat Northeastern.

College Hockey Showcase
Michigan 6 at Minnesota 3
Michigan State 1 at Wisconsin 3

Analysis
Wisconsin beats MSU who lost their seventh game in a row. Michigan blasted Minnesota, Alex Kangas was God awful. Yes I watched the game, I taped it on my DVR. looks like Michigan isn't as bad as some have thought.

No sister kissing tonight. UMD 3 UND 1

The Fighting Sioux were stifled by a strong goaltending effort of Alex Stalock and lose 3-1 to the Bulldogs in Duluth. With the loss tonight the Sioux also break a streak of splits in league play. The Sioux out shoot the Bulldogs 38-29 but come up short on the score board.

Sioux fans lets give credit where credit is do. Alex Stalock was good this weekend and I hate cliches but this team IS close to doing some great things.

Pro's from this weekend
~ Brad Eidsness is establishing himself as the starting goaltender.
~ A defenseman scored a goal tonight, their first goal by a defenseman this year.
~ Brad Malone was a physical force this weekend and is mean and nasty to play against.
~ Brett Hextall continues to impress me with his grit and heart.
~ Gregiore is a sniper and will score a lot of goals this season.
~ David Toews is close to breaking out, I think the points will come in bunches.
~ Defensively the Fighting Sioux are getting where they need to be defensively.
