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.

Should be reviewing the hit for a major.

This team doesn’t seem to work hard enough to sustain offensive pressure.

Can they have a players only meeting in the pod?

We also can’t ignore the fact that nobody on next year’s team will have played a single game of NCAA tournament hockey.

Yes!!! JBD

I wouldn’t want that a five on us if we made that hit. Looks like shoulder.

That was a gift!

We look like we’ve had a week off. Not sharp and a bit slow.

They had to review if they could count to six?
