Jake Brandt's beard: Thumbs up or thumbs down?

Dumb penalty on the other team for once.

Jake said it, so it's official: The next goal is huge.

Sioux-eet!

We have got to start burying some of these net-front chances.

Portz so snakebit

Not if we want to get him experience. Which at this point seems prudent.

Hellsten from here on out

Empty net

I'm curious how Sanderson would do at forward.

I wonder when the last time UND played a game in which the only goal scored was a SHG?

Just. Ugh.

When I turned the game on, it said #9 UND and #4 WMU. Now it says #10 UND and #3 WMU.

This is why I think Bubs has to give Hellsten the net.

It will be Hellsten's net tomorrow night. The coaching staff has no choice IMO.

UND had a 47-game winning streak when leading after two periods. Snapped.

UND drops from 2 to 8 in the Pairwise.

This. What I've noticed too.

It is, and here's why. The University of Vermont's mascot, the Catamount, is a species of SHORT-TAILED lynx. Now take a look at a picture of how they render a catamount. It's got like the longest frickin' tail ever. In fact, for years I thought their mascot was some sort of monkey--no lie--cause all I saw was that tail. Messed up indeed.

Sherrif Brady is Michigan and Emilio Estevez (Billy the Kid) is hockey karma. Young guns gif Reap the whirldwin sherrif brady.mp4

If Sanderson goes to the Olympics--given its timing, length, and the uncertainty about being permitted to leave China--Team UND's chances of winning a national championship may take a hit. There might be a trade-off. That's all I'm saying. Pointing that out does not make a fan selfish, unempathetic, butthurt, [other emotive trigger word], etc.

Sure, we love having Olympians. What do we love more? Having Nattys. Normally those two things aren't mutually exclusive; this year, however, they just might be.

Agree. And UND won a fierce recruiting battle. Seems like we're on the wrong side of those battles too often.

According to the interwebs, McLaughlin was committed to Penn State once upon a time. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/478354/owen-mclaughlin

I kid because I love. And I do love Kleven's game; I just wish he'd be a bit more disciplined. One of my earliest memories of Sioux hockey was watching Jim Archibald being skated over to the penalty box by a referee. And it seemed like every time Archibald was on the ice, he ended up going to the penalty box. He seemed like a man among boys sometimes. Kleven reminds me of Archibald a little bit, even though Archibald was a forward. For funsies, I looked up Archibald's stats. Look at those goals...and those penalty minutes.
