Let’s face it, there was a lot of emotion in this game. You could tell by Gabinet’s presser. The team lost a friend and coach this year, the fans saw the team rise from a poor start. We’ve been there. That must have been a soul crushing turn of events. Correct however, not with kids present, a bad move period…

Out of respect for their fans, I assume so. What’s wrong with that?

Must be using ‘the short bus’…

Have the officials called an actual penalty yet? Every replay says no…

I've read a lot, kept my mouth shut, but I think that some are on to something. I honestly believe we aren't the only ones dealing with it, but maybe it just hit us harder because of the caliber of recruits that we get. The covid year is hurting recruiting and development. It is pumping the portal as well. Freshman comes in with high expectations only to sit as a 'seasoned' veteran gets the minutes. And it will go on, then it's the current junior, then the current sophomore. So you're sitting around for 1, 2 maybe 3 years before you get playing time. They check out and hit the portal, only to compete with more covid year players (think Cruckskank - no I didn't spell it wrong). Said this all along, decisions get made without understanding the ramifications. The coaches have to win, so...

I think CBS SN has the lock on this

No, he got 2 minutes mid 3rd I think for pushing a guy headfirst into the end boards.

I see this series are a potential battle of the ages. Throw out the first game (4-1) based on the young Omaha teams first look at NCHC play, the balance of the year games have all be extremely tight. Saturday nights game hinged, I believe on the following: What we all know of as a BS call on Omaha 29. Interference on the puck carrier? Tom knew he screwed up and made it worse with a completely ridiculous assessment on review. Put Omaha on defense for the first 2 of the third, a potential momentum killer. Farmer's penalty was an obvious 5, though not even reviewed. Don't know what Cabinet was thinking, other than the mistake he made against CC earlier this year. He should have demanded a review. JT made 2 mistakes that cost the Mavs dearly. Trying too hard, last game t the Ralph? Possibly. Otherwise, the Mavs take second place and play CC but I am not sure that plays to benefit them as they have struggled against that team. I am expecting a MONSTER game one, winner takes all kind of thing. I don't think that will do it. Goes 3, not making a prediction. If Omaha figures out Blake, James and Gaber, not good. If they struggle to stem the assault, we win.

Respectfully, makes the rank even more suspect. Teams that play significantly tougher schedules with 17, 18, 19 wins would, I feel, have a legit reason to wonder.

Yeah, Dave said that their SOS was at 36 - 'middle of the pack' and they have 20 wins... #32. AIC 1-0-1 $46. UST 1-1-0 #11. Michigan Tech 0-2-0 #16. UNO 1-1-0 #29. Nmu 1-1-0 #49. Rpi 1-0-1 #8. Penn state 0-2-0 #51. Ak-Ank 4-0-0 #14. ND 1-1-0 #3. DU 1-1-0 #51. Ak-Ank 2-0-0 #41. Az state 2-0-0 #58. LIU 3-1-0 #41. Az state 2-0-0 So, basically, against anyone in the top 20 they are 3-8. Anyone in the bottom 21, they are 15-2-0. Ranked number 12, and I am at a loss. I know the math will check out, but feel that there ranking and probable slot in the NCAA's is not deserving. That's just me, not the expert, just an opinion.

I get that part but it's only 3 games. If I remember correctly, they also got swept by Penn State and split with the other 3. Split with St. Thomas as well. I think that Lindenwood will be their downfall.

The question he should have asked is ‘if 70% of your wins come against AA, LIU and Arizona State, how do you get to 12 in the first place?’. Yes, they did beat a few good teams but good lord, the math!!! 30% of their wins are Anchorage!

Only on Friday nights. On Saturday, they have to where their ‘bidness soots’.

How about this! Foosball rules! The linesman throws the puck in from the timekeepers bench. Each team has 3 forwards, 5 ‘middies’, 2 defensemen and a goalie. The players CAN’T move!!! If the puck enters a dead zone that no one can reach, they throw in another puck! After 5 pucks, if no one scores, the move on to a spelling bee. If it’s still a tie, we go to beer pong to decide the winner!

Let's go back to 5x5, 10 minutes. Win=2 pts Tie=1 point each (if the favorite has to win by playing a pick up game then they don't deserve it) Loss=0 points. I don't know why it changed from 2 pts for a win to 3, but it's just stupid. The NHL was this way for DECADES. Why the change? Who the heck knows...

---- 'em.

I think ‘Bidnitsuits’ would be betta!

Say what you would like, but they are a young team that had they not taken a bad weekend to begin (Niagara) they'd be 8th in the pairwise. I agree that they are our 'best' chance but they are far from average.

Cage match! Chroma and Kleven, final minute of game two! Winner goes to the AHL, loser goes to Germany.

He should be suspended for that crap. Contact with the head (intentional) with the blocker and the stick.

Yeah, those losses to Niagara really messed up their PW

3-1 good guys. I am not sure what happens after that…

What does omaha have to do with this weekend? Stay focused!

Glad I missed that! Geez-Louise, not sure I could have weathered that storm! Not sure I even played around on the Insultnet back then. I just want everyone to put down their Monster Energy drink and relax! You know western Minnesota is kinda laid back, don’t get too worked up ‘round here. Too busy fishing the ‘hard water’…

Never said that, but the negativity on the board is reaching epic proportions. There is little wonder that our opponents are enjoying this, given the behavior when we are winning. I’m just saying things are neither that good, nor that bad. BB isn’t on the ice, not responsible for their play, merely for their preparation. Everyone drooled at the incoming year after year, these are different players, not raised like us. They don’t respond to tradition, hard work nor ‘frank discussion’. The stars ARE the problem, not the solution. I see a lot of individual play, no more than that. Shuffle the deck, start over, from the ground up.
