Yeah, the squad you were up against had something to do with that. Rinse and repeat tonight.

Those announcers were the worst. When Zellers scored his nifty backhander from a near impossible angle they ho-hummed it like an empty netter. Those two clowns made me wish for the St. Cloud duo.

With a sweep of Western on their ice tonight UND would finish #1 in the NPI going into conference tournaments. Go get it done. We want to be the #1 seed throughout the nationals.

Says Jeremy Roenick: "Shame on everybody for not celebrating this. Sports is not supposed to be political. It’s supposed to unite the country. We’re all supposed to get together and believe in one thing. I think 99% of Americans on social media was loving it. And then you turn around and see the politicization of the sport, and it’s just not right. The hypocrites are coming out in droves and it’s unfortunate we can’t take the greatest moments in sports and all celebrate it. It’s a real shame." The majority of the criticism aimed at Team USA came after players spoke with President Trump over the phone in the locker room. The president invited the team to his State of the Union address and several players expressed excitement for the opportunity. "There’s going to be a lot of droopy eyes. There’s gonna be a lot of hair all messed up but I’m telling you, they’re gonna represent the U.S. exactly like they did over there in Italy. They’re gonna show up with pride. They’re gonna put their thumbs up to the president, who is doing an amazing job. Our country has never been better and our sports, and hockey, has never been better. And that is something to be proud of."

After watching Western against CC this past weekend, they definitely can be had. If not for Western's goalie they would have been eliminated for the Penrose. They are tenacious forecheckers but not impressed at all with their D corps. They don't deserve a top seed in the regionals. I see a split and 3 points this weekend at worst. Raise the cup in the Zoo!

Now that's reverse psychology!

Yeah, I have to agree

Those odds are about the same as me hooking up with Sydney Sweeney.

Is Ben's grandpa Earl still around? I've been gone a long time.

I'm putting BC right on the bubble and Providence with the Big East autobid. BC's remaining regular season games are all tough ones (by Big East standards).

Great analysis. Another thing that impresses me about this team over many in the past years is their ability to shoot the puck. I'd like to know how many goals have grazed the pipes, roofed bar down, or cornered up top blocker side. These guys can fire the puck, and do it with accuracy.

Bemidji style hockey.

You heard it here first. I predict Duluth escapes Miami this coming weekend with one win/one loss. Then Duluth (#4) plays Miami (#5) again in the first round of the playoffs and gets knocked out. These three losses to Miami eliminate Duluth from a National playoff birth. After watching Miami this last weekend, they've got just the kind of team (tenacious checking, outstanding goaltending and just enough offense) to bottle up the Plante line and take them down.
