Kernan had his grabbed before that shot.

Hit him with the face mask now Jax!!

UND needs to review for a face mask on ASU after the whistle. Kernan got grabbed behind the net.

D zone structure has just gone up in smoke at times tonight. Tons of grade A chances for ASU.

If you call that one on Verhoeff it makes the no call in the second that much worse.

Not ideal shift after a goal.

Obligatory defend Homer post when he had zero chance on either goal. 😀 Also obligatory Jan much more calm in the net and I feel better when he's in there post.

The cross check on Ollie before Croal scored needs to be called. Then the head contact no call followed by ASU getting their 5th power play in a row. Again, I'll take Dane taking that bench minor all day.

I'm okay with that bench minor. First one of the year for Jax correct?

Guy gets away with head contact and we get a bench minor.

Holy cheap play in the corner. Ollie takes a rib shot cross check. Figure that out stripes.

They are getting worked this period.

Was just going to say the same. The space he is able to create for himself.

Did Josephson just get a roughing the passer?

4 plus points this weekend and I'll be happy. Potter is a huge loss for them. Take advantage of that.

No kidding one year I was in college on a Saturday you had a load of Red River guys playing a load of Central guys in an old school no coaches ODR game. I believe it was the rink up north by the dike right by where the Simonsons skated for years.

When I was in college lived in a house south of Demers by Ben Franklin elementary school and spent countless hours out there. Had to skate right after college classes as the evening schedule was pretty booked with practices. Ice was always really taken care of. When I was in the dorms you couldn't have a worthwhile skate at Aggassiz Elementary as there was probably 50 college kids skating there at any time of the day. Saturday mornings was a blood bath to get there early or you had to go elsewhere.

North kid took a major penalty the last 4 minutes of the game and the Spoilers rolled off three power play goals to tie the game late, and then won it in OT while still on the major power play according to the game sheet.

No kidding? Any co-op or enough kids?

Maybe a lock was a poor choice of words. I think the way they hung in with a good Central team twice and their ability to score and score in bunches when they are rolling makes them formidable. Let me rephrase. If I was a betting man I'd bet on them ending up at the state tournament.

Still waiting out the NCAA and the lawsuit that I've filed in Grand Forks county court for extended eligibility. If Carson Beck and Pavia get another year there is no reason I can't put the pads on and sit on the bench and fill water bottles in at least a JPL goaltending/Lamoureax hockey practice jersey.

I think in the EDC Central, Red River, Davies are locks. After that a toss up with DL, North, Sheyenne. Western side you could easily see Legacy as the only team from Bismarck in the tournament. Hopefully Jamestown ends up at state so I can buy you an overpriced cup of coffee at Scheels arena in February!

Good post. I think it goes to show the quality of d men that the current team has and that the pipeline of d men coming in are strong as well. I kind of expect Liv to be gone regardless as a free agent that already has a lot of eyes on him come April when the season wraps up. Hopefully its a Troy Stecher kind of situation where he has hung a green banner and now wants to take the next step in his life on the ice.

Conversations I've had with parties closer to the source than I'll ever be pointed to what you mentioned with the scheduling aspect, but also that he was 100% made aware that Legacy was in the planning stages and would be coming aboard within a two to three year phase with immediate varsity participation, which he was very against looking at the numbers. This is part of his explanation when he resigned. I've coached a few seasons of high school in the state and know what he means as far as trying to make changes and getting absolutely nowhere with the NDHSAA. Unless its basketball they don't care. 😅

As we sit now UND holds a 5 point edge on the Pios with equal amounts of games played heading toward the end of January. The Sun Devils are a bit behind in the NCHC sitting at 17 points and coming off a bye week. The last time they took the ice, they took four of six from up and coming Miami. Denver hosts SCSU this weekend and Duluth after, so not the time to take the foot off the gas pedal for UND. Really the key this weekend is puck possession and making Lucies, Schmiek, and Potter player in their own end. Those guys drive the wagon, and keeping them off the power play is a point of emphasis this weekend as well. This four game road trek for UND will tell a lot about the NCHC race heading into February. A trip south, followed by a trip to the harbor and the Dawgs.
