I was nervous as hell last year that UND would end up in Colorado and end up playing Denver in that regional. We would of likely had more fans in attendance than they would have, but in the one and done format they are scary as hell. Denver would be a great team for BC or Minnesota to open with this year if they get in.

Twins resign Cruz. I like the move. Guy is a great leader, and an even better humanitarian. 1. Buxton-CF 2. Donaldson-3B 3. Cruz-DH 4. Kepler-RF 5. Polanco-2B 6. Kirilloff-LF 7. Sano-1B 8. Garver-C 9. Simmons-SS You could have Arraez play left field too to get his bat in the lineup. If he's in the lineup he leads off and you move Buxton down to 9th. The lineup looks pretty good from a distance. Rotation: 1. Maeda 2. Happ 3. Big Mike 4. Berrios 5. Probably bring in another starter. Or Dobnak, and they keep Thorpe or Smelzer in the pen as another lefty. Bully: 1. Rodgers 2. Duffey 3. Dobnak 4. Robles 5. Stashak 6. Thielbar 7. Alcala

EGF, after getting swept by the two high schools on the west side of the river, goes to Warroad and beats them 3-2 all the while outshooting them by 20. Maybe the way to do it is just keep the other team away from your goalie.

I'm all for Omaha getting better each year. A big step for them would be qualifying for the NCHC tournament in St. Paul. I believe (without checking google), they are the only school who has yet to make an appearance at the frozen faceoff.

Until the Mavs: -Find a way to break a UND player's neck and have their fans tell me our guy isn't hurt. -Stick a disturbed hockey illiterate 45 year old man behind me at the X for a weekend with BO like I'll hope no one ever has to experience again. -Have a gopher in skates running around on the ice. -Have one of their fans call in to a radio show and take shots at a kid with a life threatening condition. -Have one of their fans write a four page diatribe on head injuries after one of their guys gave our guy post concussion syndrome causing him to medical redshirt a year. -Blindly back the idea that the Big Ten hockey conference was a good idea. They'll not be a heated rival......

@crb1 and @yzerman19!!!!!! You guys (I think both guys) are famous!!!!!!!! This Mav fan got like ten likes calling you two bozos out!!!!!

Saw that the girls and boys State A tournaments don't have consolation rounds, yet both the class B tournaments are three consecutive days at the same site with consolation rounds.

Those numbers say the tournament could go back to normal. How many total locker rooms are there at the REA outside of UND's? At least 6 for the main and four at the Olympic rink?

Just thinking out loud, but why not host the consolation round at home sites as well for the state tournament? I mean they are okay having teams travel all over the place on a Tuesday, why not host the Consolation first round on Thursday, and have the consolation championship game at the Ralph on Saturday morning, or the higher seed's home rink Saturday? There is the "it doesn't matter its the consolation round" argument, but these teams have already lost enough games, why not let them play it out for at least one or two more games? If it ended up being a Fargo school and Williston, the NDHSAA should rent some ice in Bismarck and call it good.

Goodbye Eddie Rosario. Cleveland should work out okay for him. I get that we are updating our team defensively with Simmons at short, but moving Polanco to 2nd means they don't have a position for Arraez other than utility. And they need his bat in the lineup.

I've seen Jekyll and Hyde with Omaha. Based on where Denver sits I'd say Omaha has a great chance to be at home in the postseason hosting Denver in the first round, unless they go on a terrible run losing 3 of 4 to UND and getting swept at Denver.

I'll be happy when we're done seeing UND legacy kids on Omaha. I mean I understand one every so often. Yet it's Archibald, Zambo, Ward, Morelli, Balfour. I'm sure I'm missing one somewhere in there too. If these kids sucked it wouldn't bother me too much, but all are pretty good players.

Own worst enemy tonight. Poor time to take a penalty by Weatherby at the end there, and Omaha takes advantage. Felt like about have way through the second period it wasn't our night. Took until Omaha went up two to get a spark.

And a goal. Dominate the last ten minutes, stupid penalty.....goal.

Terrible play by Weatherby. Absolutely a penalty.

Good couple shifts for UND. Keep pressing fellas.

Credit Omaha for making the adjustment and figuring out they need to slow the pace down and clog lanes when its even strength.

Johnny plays a lot of minutes for the Mavs. Seems like he's every other shift for them.

Mismash again.

You and your green glasses.

Of all the guys that need to stay away from goalie penalties.....bad penalty again.

I believe its because you can't call a minor penalty on a review.

Interfering with a goalie's ability to play the puck and running him are two different things in my world I guess. We will agree to disagree, we all get to have opinions.

You're sure Senden ran the goalie???

Senden's goal was running the goaltender??? Wha.....
