Hockey is a funny game. I'm still trying to figure it out. Rau gets that puck to go on the empty net and its goodnight daisy.

Some keys to the third period: ~Have to try and sustain a cycle down low. ~Can't let that stupid delay change Tech does give them odd-man rushes. ~Pucks deep, pucks out. ~Find the outlet on the breakout and go.

In the three times they've played this game has been by far the biggest margin between the teams. Minnesota has been all over BSU. But when you only get one to fall and you leave a scrappy hardworking team like BSU only down by one shot crazy things happen. Now get the W in OT Beavs!

BEAVERS SCORE!!!!!!! YES!

How on earth UND is ahead in this hockey game is beyond me. End of two...3-2.

Rocco.....have to bury that......

Goldy 1....BSU 0. 7:15 left.

The officials have decided nothing is a penalty on either team.

Get out of the period......just get out......

Big goal by Rodwell.....just a big goal.

Two good saves by Gothberg..... What the hell is going on out there?

And we just had two forwards go to the same point.....ufff....

UND should have got a penalty there for the goaltender play. Mel has beef.

Yup, a good check, that wasn't called. Wish they'd started that in the first.

What does everyone think? Timeout?

Game feels like its headed for a loss right now. Need a spark from somewhere.

Ugly powerplay. Good TV timeout here. Get settled and refocus. Seems like everyone is playing with the mac crap in the back of their minds.

So is that a five then for Zane getting hit in the head?

Thats on the goaltender. That can't go in Zane.

Here is the true travesty. You've got a senior who is playing the last hockey games of his UND career at home. If its borderline call then you can't fault the officials, but that wasn't close. Marco and big D owe Mac an apology. Not UND, but Mac.

I'm not a basketball fan, but this is where I feel for the basketball program. Biggest game in the history of UND men's basketball and 90 percent of people are concerned with hockey. Lets go fellas! Getter done.

Get out your skates then old man!

Way to copy my prediction.......gol.... Keys to Friday night: ~How the Freshman goaltenders play. ~How Tech handles UND's first punch in the first period. ~Whether or not UND gets some consistency from their forward lines. ~Tech's specialty teams.

I kind of undershot the scoring. Yeah, they're goaltending is supposedly better, but you've got a freshman goalie on the road in the first round of the playoffs, where the nerves pick up a bit. Obviously, UND has a Freshman getting the nod as well, so both teams are going with a bit of inexperience playoff wise. I think UND needs seven goals to sweep the series. Unless the ultimate lockdown tech comes which leads us to 2-1 type hockey games.

I'm taking UND in two. 4-1......and 2-1.
