The Sicatoka

That scares me that they have fallen into the trap of believing they can do that all the time. I have no problem with "turning it on" ... but how about against Miami style and bury the opponent five minutes in. Doing that makes everything better -- roll lines, rest the top six.

It's going to sound trivial to some of you, but, can we refer to the WBB leader as "Coach Bernhard" now that the interim is off. Let's do that out of respect ... and to set the expectation for the new, no longer interim, coach. (Yes, we have Bubs and Bubba, but even Hakstol was Hak and not Dave, and Coach Lennon was Coach, not Dale.)

Thinking back to the CBSSN shot from the corner where he made the hit and and how he was holding that arm as he immediately went off I thought "shoulder" but now ponding ... possible ...

Welcome to "Stogies and Scotch" where you, the player at home, get to be just like the NCAA Mens Ice Hockey selection committee in 2021 and light up a stanky 'cee-gar', pour the single malt, and make outrageously homer-ish yet completely inexplicable selections to the 16 team field. The rules: Pick the 16 mens teams to make the field this year. That is all. Don't even put them in regions: Just pick the correct 16 teams (one point per team). Of your 16, name the four regional #1 seeds (one point per). Score the most points and you'll be labeled the 2021 champion (and take home the much desired COVID Cup). Obviously your selections must be in before the actual selections are made. Have at it.

Radio pregame Hennessy said Budy was "healthy scratch" which "surprised" him because "he played well vs Miami."

Watch that replay -- as you say the 26 -> 14 -> 10 was superb; but, also note that 15 called for the puck right before 10 for it and 15 had coverage for a bad pass backed up at the blue line. Those are subtle little plays you don't normally notice until they aren't done correctly.

Does anyone believe they'll take a team with an under 0.500 record?

Thoughts: - Show up like that against anyone again and you'll be scheduling tee times at Ray and King's. - Looked like 19 had a shoulder issue. Griffin Ness needs to become an immediate graduate of the Senden School of playing hockey. We'll need that. - 4 in the defensive zone needs more work. Give him the puck and one stride of open space he's fine. - Radio said Budy was a healthy scratch. I'm thinking they held him out because DU gets in his head because his Miami game was fine. - 15 and 26 were on for Hain's winner. That same pair was on against Omaha in OT. Good recovery. - Who was on with Hain? 15, 26, 14, and 28. What I see there is the next generation taking ownership and responsibility.

There are a bunch open in the upper corners.

That was one of the strangest hockey sequences ...

Michigan State was giving me flashbacks to Mankato State of the late 1990s.

RE: JBD Not immediately stopping play when JBD didn't move for five seconds is reprehensible. But when JBD did get up, the Miami player cross-checking him ... well, Scheel apparently needs to learn the "Belfour snuggie" technique.

And you would be correct.

My sources can confirm this is a good bingo.

You can't worry about the other guy's stuff when you have your own to worry about. UND has much to work on after a weekend in Macomb: - turnovers (offense and ST) - defensive penalties Control what's yours to control.

The Fargo Forum no longer prints in Fargo. That operation has moved to Detroit Lakes. Printed newspapers were in trouble pre-COVID; they're terminal now.

I heard Heinert say "team's leading scorer" and that's 29 the NCHC ROY. (I can hear TV while I'm ... "working" ... )

Not so fast ... 29 got hurt, 28 got the assist. http://www.collegehockeystats.net/2021/livebox/mcc_stcv.m12

You almost wish there was a way to give a delayed embellishment penalty.

Was he?
