They'll be in trouble in a sold out XCEL energy center on a Thursday afternoon against Penn State for the right to play Wisconsin on Friday. I assume extra seating will be added for the Michigan-Wisconsin semifinal game. Likely have to do it the night before for Michigan St.-Ohio State.

I'd like to think Siembida joining the cats was the start of a major turnaround at Quinnipiac. Almost a Shattuck to UND type pipeline of good players.

UND couldn't even beat BSU in Bemidji.....fire Hak.

Torii Hunter.....grrrrrrrrr If I ever see a "Torii is Minnesota's angel" sign again I'll become a Yankee fan.

Thoughts: ~Second period was the best I've seen this team play all year. That was fun to watch. ~Tough to pick a standout line.....all of them were pretty good. ~Glad they shelled Faragher.....thats been a long time coming. ~Zane steady and good. Just doesn't lose I guess. They are playing for hardware tomorrow night. The trophy will be in the house.....a ton to play for.

Ask the 2013 Minnesota Vikings.

SCSU goal. Thought Zane was screened, but looked like he had a clean look.

You can tell with the four goal lead UND decided to play a defensively safe period. Third man always high, any even numbered rushes the puck goes deep, and even the wings are hanging lower in their own end giving SCSU the points and the outside.

"When big name schools come to Mariucci it will be packed for every game" ~Gopher fan who will remain nameless.....

Zane has been quietly steady. If I was in the net UND would be ahead. Might be 5-4, but they'd be ahead.

Rodwell for roughing. Or checking a player no where near the puck....

Those are actually Penn State fans. Came over from Mariucci.

Faragher pulled for a five spot.....thank you hockey gods.....

Rocco takes a penalty at the end of the period. One of the best road periods that I've ever seen for a UND team.

DAGGER!!!!!!!!!

Change units on the icing call.

ROLL TRIBE!

You see this drill more and more now with even the youth levels. Not every shot should be to score. A lot of the goaltenders like Faragher are too good to beat with a clean shot. Shot with intended rebound. The first time we did this with the team I coached they had no clue why they weren't supposed to score on the first shot.....never forget it.

Same play by Schmaltz.....same play......

Great great rebound read play by Rocco. Shoot low stick side to create the rebound for your numbers crashing.

Amazing what a goal does......all UND the last few shifts. Why does SCSU get to change? I thought you didn't get a change on a hand pass?

GAARDER!

Parks caught back at d on a husky rush and does a great job. Small plays that no one notices.

Is it a rule that every big ten hockey team is required to have a helmet that resembles their football helmets except Minnesota?

One period in the books. Decent road period, but not too many great opportunities. Gosh that ice sheet just seems huge, especially on the power plays. Can't give SCSU the odd man advantage. 25% with the extra man. Wow.
