  1. Since when did the national tournament become more physical than the NCHC. The WCHA teams used to have a problem in the national tournament bringing the physical play down a notch for the eastern Refs. Doesn’t seem to be the case tonight at least.

    DU getting some good chances but Cornell goalie doing well so far.

    Bub could take some lessons from Big Red about how to skate off the clock with a two goal lead. UND routinely lost their type of games this year.

    Anyone else feel totally lost tonight?  Saturday night and no UND hockey.   I think I'm first realizing the season is over for the year.  It sure bothers me a lot more tonight than it did last night.   I think it's going to be a long off season until football.  Sucks.

    I hear this. I’ve been lost all day.

    When they scored the go-ahead goal in the second, they really poured it on right afterward, and I thought they were going to repeat the burst from last Sunday.  But they weren't able to build the lead, and paid for that.

    Didn't the team recently go like 70 games in a row without a loss when leading after two?  They did that by being conservative, and I recall it drove us nuts.  But this year's team obviously was terrible at it.  That streak feels like ancient history.

    Hak’s teams were way better at protecting a lead, at least that’s my recollection. I think they practiced a lot on trapping schemes and then used them when they had a lead.  I think Denver is good at this too.  They could score off their defensive system too when the other team made mistakes chasing the game.

    Did I hear Berry blasting Brandt for "continue talking about us"?  Didn't seem light hearted, he seemed pissed.

     

    Anyway, what was the difference tonight?  They came to play.  Less mistakes (still too many times when I was yelling at my TV, though).  More tenacity, more speed.

     

    To wrap up - if you don't appreciate Brandt saying your team was lackadaisical, then don't play lackadaisical.

    Jake was also critical of their breakouts and he was absolutely correct. Bubs skin getting a little thin.

    Geez Bubs just go back to our culture and forget about it.

    This teams breakout and transition game is weak. 

    She is the master of understatement 

    supposedly skilled players and our breakout play is bouncing it off the boards or lobbing the puck up the ice and hoping our guy catches up to it. Just horrible breakouts all year.

    13 points to 3 points. He is also one of 2 defensemen who can skate the puck out (other being Jandric). Bast stands flat footed so he never can break the puck out leading to a lot of chasing the puck in the defensive zone. Watch Moore hit the portal. He's very talented and it will come back to haunt us. 

    I often think 4 should be tried at power forward.
