I predict my wife throwing a fit when she finds out there is football on on a Saturday afternoon in February...... Hawks 30.....Sloookis......27

Thanks for your perspective. I was volunteering my time one year at a B2 state tournament my community was hosting and I did the PA announcing for a couple of games. The one time I forgot to add the Park River to "Scoring for Grafton" I had six people outside the pressbox telling me it was essential to add the Park River to the Grafton. When did the youth program become North Star? My officiating days have since ended, and I never remember our teams playing "North Star", it was always Grafton.

I cheer for the beavers, I just don't want to watch our team play them four times a year. Plus the Serratore that coaches Air Force is the funnier of the brothers.

I'd love to see Mankato in the NCHC. Would happily trade Miami for them. Or we could just add them and Air Force and have a 10 team league.

I'd be super happy with a Duluth-Denver opening round matchup at the NCHC tournament.

Now we are done with the Pios and getting our posts published on a world famous blog (well.....?), we are back to getting our posts published on a less famous twitter feed about how Omaha is our fiercest rival to date. Throw away the Denver scrums, dead gophers on the ice, a certain water bottle incident in Madison, Duluth getting pretty salty and ticking us all off, Stearns County School for Jan, no my friends....its Omaha. I've complained a bunch about the schedule. Luckily nobody paid attention. I know we were supposed to play these games earlier, but honestly playing them four times in a row to end the year means bad blood boiling over like we saw in the Denver series. The league could have prevented this by directing Denver's flight to Ohio or Kalamazoo last week and having a bus trip for UND, SCSU, or Duluth, but its a Covid year, so I'll shut up. I'd rather see UND play Duluth or SCSU more than twice a year (my opinion of course). To the matter at hand. Omaha swept CC last weekend building on what happened against Denver. They'll likely be the only team in NCHC history to win a 3 on 3 OT game with a 5 on 5 goal, you read that right. When we aren't taking an abundance of penalties and doing everything we can to irritate the fan base we are pretty good. When UND decided to play 5x5 for a stretch of Saturday's game they only gave up 7 shots on goal the last two periods. Omaha is much better on the power play than Denver, and what we learned from Saturday night in Omaha was that they'll beat UND if our guys give them a bunch of opportunities up a guy. I've been told a sweep this weekend guarantees the Penrose cup, so there is that. What about Scheel? What about Mismash? Other injuries? Jasper likely the NCHC player of the week?

According to The NDHSAA, Fargo North has already forfeited their first round game against South. Wondering if they are able to be cleared for Thursday? If not why wouldn't they just move all the teams up a seed below them and give the highest seeded eliminated team the 8 seed?

What?? No links to posts on siouxsports? That lady or guy is losing it.

Weird game in a weird year. Denver will have to win the NCHC tournament to make the NCAA tournament.

Not sure what exactly Denver was trying to set up there.

And we take another.....

Best chance comes after the major. 4-2......Jasper

Really got them on their heals.....ugh yeah....

No Budy.....lay down and hold your head.....come on.....

On a related note, do you think he ate the trophy he won?

Another facemasking......guys glove was off and he grabbed Gaber's mask....

And we have a friendly get together.

I'm pretty sure we are shooting 50% from the floor this period.

3-2. There is our puck luck.

Tough call there for Kiersted. Do you play it the right way (he absolutely did), or do you force the sniper to get rid of the puck? That kid can score.

Bad puck luck and its 2-2.

Shades of Tim Walsh and intent to blow the play dead. 2-1 Pinto.

I thought once Scheel was a no go the rally cry would have been to put together a performance for Thome. 5 shots for UND almost half way through.

Offensive zone penalty. We've got to lead the league in those.

Someone is going to have to explain to me when facemasking is and isn't a penalty. Right in front of the net with 49 seconds left in the period.
