It was called the WCHA Final Five!

Lowell, not Amherst.

I hate those games where you score the first goal and then get your ass kicked.

Go sign some contracts boys.

So sick of the penalty commentary.

I hate this broadcast team.

It’s obvious they don’t care when they use the same graphics package on their broadcast for the last 10 years and they can’t even display SOG. AND….they keep putting Motteau in the studio.

Celebrate harder

I went with “head over heart” to get to 10-0 at this point. I need QU and WMU to remain perfect today, although those picks are more “heart over head.” I have QU winning it all over MSU. It’s Sydney or The Bush for me today.

Why do NCHC refs have to review everything? They’re incompetent. …and the crease rule needs to change.

I used to love the Final Five when the gopher fans would just move on to the next MN team to “keep it in the state.” I half expected Mariucci’s crowd to start heading over to St. Paul when Michigan put up their 4th goal on Saturday.

Seeing Mariucci full last night makes one realize we will NEVER be able to recreate the magic of the Final Five without the Gophers. The next best thing going forward is to have our own building full. Recruiting-wise I have to think MN got a boost. The atmosphere looked pretty lit there last night. We can have that at UND, too. The X didn’t look all that great 2/3 empty.

We went from the “hunter” in the WCHA to the “hunted” in the NCHC. Gopher fans can probably relate…

I like to think of it as a good “road game” at home.

Playing devil’s advocate… Wouldn’t Driscoll’s performance to date coupled with the fact that the Freshmen aren’t able to challenge him for playing time run counter to the narrative that Karl is “perhaps the best goalie coach in college hockey?”

You have to understand that the science is so solid that only people who remain negative are following the protocols.

But Michigan did it the old-fashioned way with a hot goalie and not a shutdown line. Speaking of which, I’m more worried about having a trustworthy goaltender than a shutdown line come tournament time.

At what point is it salt in the wound?

Yep he turned it on so good he got 5 of them!

Duluth now has them right where they want them.

Pretty much dog poop.

1999 Final Five comes to mind. Target Center. My memory is a bit foggy but I seem to remember Stephen Wagner and Lee Goren being the actors in this one.

I think that is true, but if they were reviewing it for a high stick that top-down angle wouldn’t really be able to show anything conclusive.

How this video production could give the refs a good look/angle at this is beyond me.

I agree, but they seem to always take a look if they think head could’ve been initial point of contact.
