How far in advance are the NC games “planned”? From what I’ve seen, Alaska seems to be on the upswing, Lake State is “iffy” and St. Lawrence is St. Lawrence. Don’t know much about Niagara in terms of trajectory… omaha would do themselves a favor by doing a HEA and a Big Ten team early on to shock their freshman class and grow ‘em up faster. Early NCHC games are no place to learn, by then it’s too late…

That’s exactly what I mean. He had the talent this year, and failed. They had the lead in several losses. I think this year is on him. We’ve blown some leads to be sure, but things ended up pretty well considering. I feel bad for the players, they deserved a shot. As I said, that’s my wife’s team so I’ve watched several games. No reason they lose to Miami and Cc. Absolutely no reason they lose to Lake or St. Lawrence. Some of it was preparation, some of it line ups, some choice of strategy. All on coaching. Sure he’s young, but you don’t get paid to learn on the job. This is the NCHC.

It was a different omaha team, and they took western to the edge in both games. Yeah, I know we swept western but the season isn’t over. Omaha played the top 4 even this year, when was the last time that happened? I think they have a lot to solve to be a regular threat, but this years team was close. Granted, the real test is next year, they are losing significant offense.

That was a snarky reply to a snarky comment. UNO plays good hockey. My bad as Ward won’t play the bonus year, I know one scout that was very interested in him.

But they split with us…

They’ve always been a class act, often playing over their heads. I enjoy watching them play. Gonna be a good series.

that's exactly right, these events should be adding to our lives, good conversation, fun chiding, competitive spirit. Most fo the a-holes from the 2014-2017 era have moved on. And I say that for many of the fanbases. Must have been sunspots or something.

Ohhhh! I call it an autobid!!!

AQ? I’m old…

Just an observation on my part, they play better without him.

I think it’s just for the quarterfinals. Not sure about Minneapolis.

For some reason they have a good record at Lawson

Schools out for western. The lunatics will be light. Omaha has something to prove, and I bet Abate rides the bench (in street clothes).

We swept western and they played us well. UNO has a positive history against western through the years. This is a different UNO team. Remember they played six of seven NCHC series on the road starting early December. Except for the hiccups against Colorado college in Miami, they’ve been pretty tough this year.

I think we see them in Minneapolis.

Blocked all the shots attempts

Go back, way back in time, to the NHL in the 60’s. 2 for a win, 1 for a tie. Overtime only in playoffs. 20 minute, 5x5, sudden death. NCAA wide. Back to you…

Bailiff! Remove that man!!!

I thought, with the exception of both majors, the game was played fairly even. If you noticed, Omaha became a bit undone as well after the Abate major. One thing I hope we can agree on is the officiating in this game was awful. Ruined what promised to be an outstanding athletic event. Dregger be Dregger.

We all do, just as we understand that ribbing between fan bases is normal. Criminal behavior such as this, thuggery, is not and it should be prosecuted.

Yes, basketball and volleyball flooring goes over the ice. From what I heard,it both get played on the same day (like last Saturday against DU) it affects ice quality to some degree.

That’s why Denver is my least favorite team in the NCAA. It’s a crock that they get to operate unimpeded by the rulebookThat’s why Denver is my least favorite team in the NCAA. It’s a crock that they get to operate unimpeded by the rulebook

And it was obvious he did. What a shot show.

Know what I’m saying is Denver committed at least six blatant penalties in the third period. We are talking open ice stuff here, not in the scrum. At least 5 minute major, elbow to the head call the two. Omaha’s penalties were warranted. Most of them were based on frustration.

Didn’t implode, ref screwed.
