Wilbur

Well well well.....if it isn't our old friend Baxter arena. We shouldn't need to practice the day before the game at the rink because if the players don't know the bounces by now, they never will. I believe it was @brianvf that said something along the lines of UND vs. Omaha will decide the league championship. We play 6 of 8 games remaining against them and their adorable coach Stu after they had some Covid issues that messed the schedule up for most of the western teams. The Pioneers outplayed Omaha for some long stretches of last night's game but got hot goalied by Saville. Taylor Ward (Come on Dixon....Omaha?) will give us fits in front of the net, and they've got some agitators who will push the line with guys like Pinto, so keeping our composure is pretty important. We can't take the penalties we took against CC, because Omaha actually connects with passes while on the powerplay, unlike CC. Current NCHC Standings: UND 35 Points SCSU 33 Points Omaha 27 Points Duluth 27 Points Denver 21 Points Western 19 Points CC 15 Points Miami 15 Points UND has to hold serve here for a few weeks because our friends from Stearns county have Western at home for a couple, and then Miami and CC (just one game), before closing with Duluth. We do have a game in hand, but lets pretend that doesn't exist for now.

I did some research on the Packers QB play last evening because what better to do while the Sioux were lighting up CC. To this point, 28 seasons with Rodgers or Favre as the quarterback of the franchise. I'll bet he is around next season and likely the year after that. So they will have 30 years of hall of fame QB play. As a Packer fan are you okay with having two superbowls in that time span or is it more like missed opportunity for more?

Twelve points against CC. Guessing they could see them in the postseason.

Kleven got a major for cross checking out of it huh.

My guess is we end up on the kill. Three roughing penalties on UND, maybe a major on CC, and two roughing penalties.

And we got a scuffle.... Kleven rode in hard from behind. Then all kinds of roughing penalties.

Can't remember a weekend where they've had more breakaways.

I miss Owens. Boy did UND and CC have some wide open games when he was their coach. Playing on the Olympic ice made a lot of sense with the talent they had.

Ohh, didn't see him get the head. If so, I'll agree on a five.

Major for slashing......boy.....I get the slash....but a five there?

Review.......sigh.....

Judd tries the same move as Adams, and Basse stands tall.

Judd....4-0. You have no idea how many guys score the game after I pick them in Sioux survivor.

I'm not even sure which one they were looking at.

Good goal, based on replay.

Who is Wilbur 20 years ago?

Tom Brady in the superbowl again....jeeeeeez. Will he just retire already.

Basse is their best chance to win, but I don't think you should put a young guy out there into the shooting gallery consecutive nights. Makes sense that he has all of CC's wins this year.

I wonder if Haviland throws Basse back out there tomorrow. Kid had to empty the tank to keep it close. Made at least 7 point blank grade A saves. That toe save in the 3rd showed how good of an athlete he is too.

Congrats to @siouxfaninseattle!!! Good battle!

I lost.

Ohhhhh my what a save.

There it is!!!!! HAIN!!!!

College hockey news says holding.

I dunno about this penalty call. UND PP.
