If I'm gonna pay 140+ I need to be assured of the roasted almonds smell.....and if anything I've learned that nothing can be assured any more.

In the EGF pipeline to UND news last evening the wave beat Fargo Davies 7-3. Trey Ausmus with two assists, but was even in the plus minus category. And Panzer had 2 goals and an assist and was a +2. Panzer currently with 7 points in four games. Ausmus also with 7 points in four games. Both are drafted by USHL teams (Panzer-Sioux Falls, Ausmus-Madison). Wondering if they'll head those directions after the high school season or stick around and play with NAHL teams. Panzer already played a game with Minot in the NA so I'm guessing he heads that direction after the season.

Yeah, I threw out the option to my wife and it got shot down harder then the walk from the library on campus to the Ralph when its -30 below with a northerly wind. She isn't a conservative spender by any means, but 140 plus taxes for two upper level tickets for one hockey game..... Love the team, love the program, but I'll be back when things are a bit more normal.

My bad. Yup, I'll take Judd.

The real question is whether they let everyone park right up next the rink with only 3,000 spectators allowed.

Alright, so no Mismash for Saturday as he serves his suspension......what to do.....what to do.... Gaber-Pinto-Judd Budy????-Adams-Gooch Hain-Senden-Jamernik Keane-Weatherby-Ness You could put Weatherby up there, but then you really don't have a center for the fourth line unless you go with Albrecht or Ness, and I can't remember which one of them has time at center. You could throw Jamernik up there for a top six audition which moves Gooch over to left wing but his line was really good against Denver on Monday so I keep them together. Judd had one of his better games with Pinto and Gaber, so I leave that line alone as well.

Always good to have logical discussion from both sides of a topic. I like to think I'm the first to eat crow when I'm wrong on something (been wrong many times). I used to be a goalie and got hit a bunch on plays like that where guys just didn't give a $hit and ran me over like that driving to the net on their off wing. Definitely a penalty on Grant. Completely agree with a penalty, and a stupid penalty at the time to take. Chrona shouldn't expect to get hit as he's protected. Of all the times I got hit the same way Chrona did not once did I end up spinning and throwing my goal stick while flopping my arms back like that. We will have to agree to disagree on the embellishment. I like to think being a dumb former goalie I error on the side of protecting the brotherhood, but I watched that play 50 times, and in my humble opinion, Chrona sells it.

Round 17.......Judd for the wi.....sigh.....

Funny thing is that when I saw that LetsGoDU started hitting on the issue I wondered if Ciksie would chime in and make an idiot of himself (again). Sure enough.

He completely loses any credibility as a hockey mind by saying that the Mismash play was worse than what Pionk did. Pionk even finished his hit and followed through.....

Go to the 1:10 mark of the video.......

Like I said, definitely a penalty. You have to pull up. Have to. But if Chrona (6'5 200 plus), doesn't flop like a Freshman at Gamma Phi on jungle juice night its not even discussed. Get hit, hold your head, throw your stick.....it'll be a major.

I'm just lost on the way they are doing the WDA tournament. With where the teams are at it just doesn't make sense. I can see it working in the EDC where the longest bus trip is only 3 hours. Williston could potentially be on the road to Bismarck on a Tuesday, likely 7 pm game I'd guess. Then be on the road on a Thursday to Jamestown. If they're still alive on Saturday they are on the road again to Minot.

How does an official look at a replay of that with another official right there and go...."Yup, that's a five." Was Don Adam by chance the supervisor of officials last night?

So like an entire weekend at Mariucci then.....

One thousand fans allowed eh? So like a playoff game at Mariucci but louder.

Thanks for the heads up! Wasn't sure how they were deciding things if the teams didn't get all their games in.

Alright, if my research is correct the last time we had a game at REA was.....February 29th, 2020. Leap Year??? No kidding? When they step on the ice Saturday night it will have been 330 days since their last home game. The current NCHC standings have us in first place with 29 points, and the highest winning percentage, which may or may not be what they end up going by to award a league champion? Played "okay" against CC two weeks ago and got a sweep. Playing at home in front of however many fans they are going to allow (plus cardboard cutouts of the dogs) should give the team a boost. Anything less than a sweep is unacceptable.

First period was easily our best period of the new year, and then we were just jumbled killing penalties and not getting any kind of rhythm the second or third period. Probably a good thing for Denver, because the guys in black were absolutely flying to start the game.

I think we've both at least three or four times picked a guy that's scored in the next game.

My god do I suck at this.

I think it was the 2017 season Neal Pionk flattened Cam Johnson on a charging penalty in the NCHC championship and stayed in the game. Watch the Mismash hit and the Pionk hit and tell me which guy deserved to get tossed.

Penalty. Yes. Major???? If he has a head injury he gave it to himself. Get run into and throw your arms up in the air while doing a 360 spin and fall backwards....okay.

Brad Berry Post game comments. -Pride. Played with more of it tonight. -Grind line started to set the tone. -Denver had to change game plan getting behind. -Blocked ton of shots. (21 total) -Denver 0-7 on the PP. Scheel sharp, but credit goes to all killers. -Not happy with officiating. -14 game road trip ends. Let's go home.

Hah. 5-1. Reiger on the PP.
