Wilbur

Four absolutely huge hockey games coming up at the Ralph. Got a weekend off to take a deep breath and heal up some bumps and bruises and then its go time against Omaha. One thing that has probably saved the season somewhat is the way the team has played on the road in their conference. And for them to make the NCAA tournament and get home ice in the NCHC its got to stay that way. Can't get swept at either SCSU or Duluth.

Sitting right now at 17 in pwr. Not great, but we've been sitting worse at this point of the season in Hak's tenure.

Like the way the team is playing. Hope we see the same team in two weeks.

Good run while it lasted. Weekend off to heal some bumps and bruises then four absolutely huge games in a row at home.

Pattyn has to fight someone before his time is up.

This is what I was worried about with Brittain. UND has had success against the guy but he can be a game stealer. Plenty of time. Get one fellas.

I'd pop my jersey after getting a tie too.

Crossbar for Parks.....puck luck not there tonight.

That UMD-Gopher game was hilarious....It was a diving meet at the end. Rau takes a dive, then the Duluth player dives in return.

I'd say #12 for Denver will be a marked man tonight. Got to make sure they keep their emotions in check though, and not go out of their way to make sure #12 gets his due. Funny he's #12....Denver has had a history with guys who wear that number.....

Time to bring out the business suits tonight and get another big win. Lots of talk about the twelve game streak where the team could make their move. Tonights is game 12 of that streak and they are 9-1-1. 10-1-1 sounds better than 9-2-1. Keep the streak alive. Refuse to lose.

Boy, doing the what if calculator is tough.....Every series is like....ummm...probably a split....probably a split..... I've got SCSU winning the league with UND and Denver battling neck and neck for the second spot. But its close all the way......

UND now at 13 in the pairwise......

If I'm there I'll be there likely Thursday night so Friday or Saturday works either way. Not sure if my dad can make it this year, but this year I'll make sure to keep him updated with everything going on in the college hockey world on our way there. Side note, he's lost 60 pounds on his new diet, and hopes to lose about 60 more. So nobody buy him a beer if we make it.

North Dakota now tied for 14th in the pairwise. Just keep winning.

Hak post game: ~Came out and played hard, status quo. ~Everyone contributed to a very intense game. ~Centers were good on the draws. ~Little changes they made improved the power play. ~Clark was good and he needed to be at time.

Sioux win 4-2....thoughts.... ~Specialty teams were pretty good for UND. Killing and getting some goals on the powerplay. Powerplay was the best its looked in a while. ~Clark was very good in the net. Made all the saves he had to, and stayed composed. ~Loney's play may have sparked UND more than anything. Lot of pissed off guys at that one. ~Did a great job limiting DU's defensemen in the offensive end. No space for Butcher....well done. Great effort by the green and white. Another big three points on the line tomorrow. 10 game unbeaten streak. Roll tribe.

1:17 to go. 4-2 UND. Conservative power play, but no reason to give DU life.

Stop taking penalties green and finish the game. 4-2 after a crazy crazy scramble.

And the hair.....to die for....

Clark has been very very good tonight. Has been a calm and steady influence back there.

Okay, since they've talked about it fifteen times....

Not the best penalty Mark has ever taken.

Which resort, me and the wife are taking the two year old for his birthday this summer?

3-1 green team after two periods of play. Tough goal on a fluke bounce, but any of us would take a 2 goal lead going into the third period. 20 minutes fellas.
