Sadly FSCS which tape-delayed the 6-1 Gophers win over the Stinkin’ Badgers :-) cut off the broadcast at the end and didn’t include the senior ceremony.  But congratulations to seniors Tony Lucia (1a) and Mike Carman (2a) who both scored two goals in their final regular season game.   Congrats as well to their fellow seniors Jay Barriball, David Fischer, Ryan Flynn, Brian Schack.

Will list the rest in alphabetical order, but as a BC fan, have to put Allie Thunstrom at the top of the list.

Bad news from Minnesota – senior forward Jay Barriball will miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury/surgery (Pioneer Press). 

-
In better news, Anthony Aiello is making his pro debut with the Florida Everblades tonight after getting hit in the face with a puck and requiring surgery during training camp.
-
When I looked on the Pioneer Press for the Barriball article, I noticed a link for an article – including the original 1909 piece – on the Rouser’s origin.    Pretty cool other than this bit: “…Arrangements will at once be made to have the song copyrighted in President Northrop’s name. …”

Watching the rerun of the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers game against the University of Alaska-Anchorage while working on BC/Merrimack images.  Thought I’d throw these galleries up to celebrate the players’ first collegiate goals.

From Ken Daneyko to Mike Brennan, my favorite players are often defensemen, the more D-oriented the better. It didn’t feel right to highlight the high scorers in the earlier post on completing the U20 camp galleries, especially since the US D shut out the Russians in one game and held them to only 1 goal in two others (the Russians scored 6 in Friday’s game, but that’s just being a polite host, right?). So here are the 10 defensemen who took part in the full camp. Posted previously – Cam Fowler and John Moore.

John Carlson (Washington Capitals):

Adam Comrie (Guelph Storm/Florida Panthers):

Matt Donovan (University of Denver/New York Islanders):

Jake Gardiner (University of Wisconsin/Anaheim Ducks):

Nick Leddy (University of Minnesota/Minnesota Wild):

Aaron Ness (University of Minnesota/New York Islanders):

David Warsofsky (Boston University/St. Louis Blues):

Chris Wideman (Miami University/Ottawa Senators):
