    When's the next WBC? Want to get revenge on Canada in our sport.
  2. UMFan83
    Sharp has been really active so far, I think he's earning more ice time for Canada. Kane almost had a breakaway but the saucer pass went over his stick and the Keith knocked him into the boards.
  3. UMFan83
    Now they need to do that when they get back to Chicago
  4. UMFan83
    That sucks, hope the men have a different result tomorrow

    dos a cero wait, wrong neighboring country

    Cubs new weight room. Hanging up banners from the 1800's is sure to be inspiring. I do like the photo of Wrigley Field there as motivation to the prospects and the sign that says "When It Happens"

    So is the Big Ten only getting 5 in the dance (MSU, UM, UW, Iowa, OSU)?
  8. UMFan83
    Hahaha

    I think that will end up being a goal. Edit: Guess not What happened? Puck was sliding by the Latvian goalie and a Latvian defenseman gloved it before it crossed the line. It was like 75% over the line when it was knocked out. Damn close

  11. UMFan83
    I dont think it would. Great story for Latvia I guess, but I would much rather see US/Canada than any other game at this point Me too. I was hoping it would be a USA-Canada semis and USA-Russia finals.
  12. UMFan83
    Still crazy that Kane and Toews are scoreless in the tournament so far, especially in the case of Kane because USA has been scoring in bunches.
  13. UMFan83
    Yeah I noticed that too. I guess I just figured that playing on home soil would give them a boost.
  14. UMFan83
    Russia down 2 goals heading into the 3rd...
  15. UMFan83
    Nice of Canada to get 2 byes in a row.
  16. UMFan83
    He scored a second one too. Interesting to note that both goals were assisted on by Handzus
  17. UMFan83
    Marian Hossa finally scored the Blackhawks first goal in the tournament. Unfortunately his team is down 4-1 in the 3rd and facing elimination.
  18. UMFan83
    Although on a plus side, Penn State is bad (as usual) so we don't have to hear from that crowd.
  19. UMFan83
    Jesus, Nebraska might actually have a decent shot of making the tournament... 14-10, 6-6 now. Remaining schedule: vs. Penn State vs. Purdue at Illinois vs. Northwestern at Indiana vs. Wisconsin They could go 4-2 or 5-1 in that stretch. 4-2 puts them at 18-12 (10-8) with wins over Ohio State, Minnesota, @ Michigan State and potentially vs. Wisconsin, and 7 of their 10 losses being against teams with top 15 RPIs. Their RPI would be in the 40's and SOS in the low 20's. It's possible that with that resume, a single BTT win gets them in. If they go 5-1, they might not even need a tourney win. If they go 5-1 with a win over Wisconsin they definitely won't.
  20. UMFan83
    Are you implying because he grew up a Sox fan that loss ate at him on a whole different level?
  21. UMFan83
    Should have been happening 3 years ago.

    We could realistically win a co-championship right now. Still would be very difficult to do and I'm not getting my hopes up for it but still, it's February and I'm considering the possibility that Iowa wins a Big Ten championship and that's awesome. I think it's fairly realistic. You have MSU losing at a neutral site against Georgetown and at home against 1-9 on the road Nebraska. You have UM giving IU one of its only 2 wins in their last 8 and getting blown out against you guys and at home against wisky. I don't think it would be very difficult for Iowa to claim a share of the conference at this point.

    The Big Ten is so weird this year. Home losses by Michigan and Michigan State (to NEBRASKA?!) puts Iowa and to a lesser extent Wisconsin back in the Big Ten title race.
