Slew foot on Western.  That's a 5. 

[Non-UND College Hockey 2023-24]

So now Western is firmly on the bubble after laying an egg tonight.  Guess we will see how far they fall. 

[Non-UND College Hockey 2023-24]

I think it's gonna be first to 5 or 6 in this game. 

[Non-UND College Hockey 2023-24]

I'm surprised that SCSU has gone with the Freshman here again.  Figured they'd go with Basse as an experienced guy.

Ohio State could easily win the Big 10 then you need to be 13.

I believe they are out now.

[NCHC Playoffs]

So in the current scenarios you've got to be 14th in the pairwise to get in with the Atlantic and the CCHA winner getting in.  You've got to hope that BC and the Q take care of business against UMass and St. Lawrence in their tournaments to breathe a bit easier.

Hedquist good in the net for UND this weekend, but Latkozcy for Omaha has been the story in that series.  Almost stole the first game when his team got outshot badly, and now has the Mavs on the brink of history.  

Teams playing for their lives tonight.  Will make for good hockey. 

[Miami @ UND - Hawks vs Hawks to go to the Frozen Faceoff]

If Ludvig takes off I'm fine with Hobie in the net.  Like how calm he plays.

GABER!

What a bad giveaway for Miami.

1-0

That's when you feel bad for Miami.  That's a reflection of their last few years in the NCHC.

@MafiaMan reportedly in the building smoozing up to @Goon.  Somebody get security.

The bubble is really starting to squeeze.   Any NCHC bubble teams that lose tomorrow really need non-NCHC bubble teams to go down:  New Hampshire, Cornell, Michigan, etc.  Some good teams will get sent to the NIT start golfing come Monday morning. 

I think Omaha's pops tonight.  I was rooting for them to get over the hump too, but they got arguably the hottest team in the NCHC in their home arena where they haven't lost in regulation since December.

Good to see Schmaltz pull away from @brianvf in goals scored this season. Was 367 days since his last goal per Schloss. Outside of the goal he was terrific last night.

Gaber was everywhere.  Even got some PK time. When you know you're down to your last (two) games at the Ralph you'll give everything you got in any situation you're put in.

Hobie......maybe it's because we haven't seen him much this season  but he is really quick in net. Side to side quickness is very noticeable compared to other goalies the past couple of seasons.  Positioning was sound. Kudos to him. Played a great game.

I have zero desire to make the trip to UND three nights in a row.

You get the stique of being a shut down goaltender and people leave off facts like I was also tied with Schmaltz (And Ludvig, Hobie, Kaleb) in goals scored this season.

[NCHC Playoffs]

All four home teams win game #1.

I see the same thing Saturday.  If I was to pick a road team tomorrow I'd say Western.  

[Non-UND College Hockey 2023-24]

Can't see Omaha recovering from that loss.  CC all over the Mavs.  

[NCHC Playoffs]

Omaha better figure out a way to win in OT or I don't see them winning the series.  Three goal lead on the road turning into a loss would hurt. 

[Miami @ UND - Hawks vs Hawks to go to the Frozen Faceoff]

Wilbur live from a just for Kix dance competition.

No Ludvig?  A major?  Schmaltz scored??

I need a recap, and an @Oxbow6attendance guess.

First thing I thought of when I heard this today.  Wish them well. 

[Sigh....The Vikings.....]

I'm a bit scared that QB guru KOC thinks they can make Darnold into something he's not and they don't move up in the draft.  The guy has all the physical tools in the world, but can't read a defense to save his life and turns the ball over. 

I was in the boat of let it ride with Mullens until the QB you draft is ready to go.  Alas, we've got the QB that sees ghosts...

[2024 Early Departures and Transfer Portal]

Teams with any kind of question mark in the net are saved by the Portal.  So many older goalies there like the one who beat us on Saturday evening in Omaha.

There really isn't an excuse any more to have a goaltending issue. 

[NCHC Playoffs]

Big storm hitting the Denver area starting tomorrow evening. Wonder how this affects the weekend in Colorado.

Looks like Stew was a bit off with his "when UND calls everything goes out the window" comment.
Boser to ASU, announced today.

Who in the heck is this guy?  Never heard of him.  Obviously there is hatred of UND.

[UND vs. Omaha 3/10 8:30PM]

I have no basketball insight to add, but I'm enjoying our guys having an 8 point lead.

I certainly didn’t say that. 
The people that said that are the same people calling for Berry's head after two poor games at Baxter. 

Brian just under attack this weekend.....

You'd think the team was headed to Magness as the 6th seed.

Says the folks that expected a sweep of our ‘little brother down south’! 

Omaha at Baxter vs. Miami at REA is an apples to (insert whatever isn't close to an apple) comparison.

Miami isn't close to what Omaha is.  Omaha is 11th in the pairwise, Miami is 47th with 1 league win.

I didn't expect us to sweep Omaha during senior weekend at Baxter with their season hanging by each game they play from here on out.  I do expect us to sweep Miami.
