Panzer and Ausmus headed to state.

Jaksen Panzer with a goal for EGF tonight against Warroad heading to third period leading 4-1. Ausmus playing a ton of minutes and limiting a pretty good top line for Warroad.

I'd be a fan of regionals and super regionals for college hockey. They fly baseball teams all over the country for two sets of regionals, no reason they couldn't do it for hockey. Best of three regional round, best of three super regional round all at higher seed home venue, reseed after the regional round. Keep the frozen four the same.

I agree with what another person said. They should of had a team in covid quarantine on standby like they did in the NCAA basketball tournament. No reason a Providence or Lowell couldn't have gotten to the East Regional in a day. You could of even had an east replacement team and a west replacement team for just in case. The puck isn't orange and doesn't bounce high enough for the NCAA to care.

Not that its important, but I had BC beating Notre Dame in the playoff pool......I still get that as a correct prediction right? Right? Ohh, and I guess I feel bad for Notre Dame too.

Could see UND bringing in a goaltender from the portal. If Thome leaves then we are a Scheel getting dinged away from having extremely limited experience in the cage.

Desean, coach K is on line one, Self on line two.

Poor kid thought he'd probably never end up back in North Dakota. Heck, I thought after he bolted Williston and threw his entire team under the bus on the way out he'd never be back.

I remember this being brought up after it happened. From that angle you can't 100 percent reverse a call made on the ice that it was offsides. I mean a camera 200 feet away through a net? UND would have got another shot at that really good Duluth team. What could have been....

That's my initial thought. You signed up for football, this is when the season is going to be played and other teams are going through the same thing that you are. Leaves a black eye that you quit when the gettin wasn't good. Of course Spack will say its for the benefit of his student athletes to be healthy for the fall, but honestly if they were undefeated we aren't having this conversation.

Talked to my old man last night about teams dropping out like Illinois State, and likely more before the end of it all due to nothing to play for in the spring. If the shoe was on our foot, and we were 2-3 after getting clobbered by NDSU and had some guys dinged up and were putting the health of Otis, Maag, or Fort at risk in meaningless football games would we be pissed off if Bubba and company called it early? Not sure how I'd feel about that. I mean I love watching UND football games, but is a game against (insert whatever valley team) in April worth losing a kid to an ACL for the fall season if we aren't battling for the postseason/national championship? I don't have the right answer. Just want whats right for these kids and the program.

The moment they called it no goal we lost that game. Not a single UND person I talked to after that game was like, "Ohh, but we were rolling them and had all the momentum in the world in that OT." We could of outshot them 100-1 in OT, but would have lost after that.

There better be a line in Vegas on a bench minor from Gabinet if he gets Hockey East officials.

I'm worried about Cole Caufield in Bridgeport with no fans and Bucci in the arena..... Be safe Cole.....

Apples to oranges a bit, but Duke basketball talked all season about just shutting it down. Can't tell me a little bit didn't have to do with their worst season in years.

I'm told its up to the conference if they are allowed to add a game. Not sure where they'd look?

Illinois State opts out. One less game for UND.

Four wins.....just four wins....One game at a time. Hopefully we are rolling a full lineup at them. After last year we can't take a second for granted. Let's go fellas.

Does Bucci have that regional? If so, let the love fest ensue....

UND fan in me: Suck it Denver! Hah! Hockey purist in me: Didn't Denver beat Omaha with two and a half lines and take UND to OT after UND had to rally late in their arena? Unless the sub .500 rule comes into play, then a rule is a rule....

Minnesota will walk Omaha. Great match up for Goldy right away.

I've heard rumblings of an Eastern cakewalk and Western death match. Cuzz Covid

I know, but its Minnesota....we can make an exception...

Denver gets in to play Minnesota in Loveland then. I agree, you agree, we all agree. Loveland. Minnesota-Denver SCSU-BU

I'm thinking bracket integrity out the window this year. Cuzz Covid.
