This was a key moment in the game that haunted them later.

We shouldn’t pull our goalie on this draw until we have possession. We’ve lost 60% of the draws tonight and it will end up on an empty net fast if we don’t play it smart

We haven’t gotten a single scoring chance this period.

Again this isn’t an effort problem. They are just getting outsmarted and making awful plays on their own end. We keep turning it over left and right in the D zone

Yeah UNO definitely better at even strength that round. Need to reset and find a way to break the puck out of our zone. Lucky to be tied and big stick tap to Persson that period

Yeah our 3rd line would be a top line on more than half the teams in the country. Enjoy this ride while it lasts because we’ve got some depth, folks

Happy to see 8 on that 4th line since that’s likely the best fit for him this season. No shame in being a big part of shutting teams down.

This game feels a lot like an NCAA playoff game. Both teams getting chances, playing well, checking HARD, goalies making big saves. Nothing mimics the tourney and preps a team like this game right now

You just knew that 4th line was going to snag one tonight. Now we have 3 different lines that have scored and none of them was from our “top” line, depending on how you look at which one is the top line.

Seriously look at our 4th line. Not many teams have players like Johannes and Strinden when you get that far down the depth chart. Plus the average weight of that 4th line 202.67 lbs. Look out folks. 6-4 good guys

Yeah we crammed 5 ppl into a 4-person car to drive from grand forks through an overnight blizzard in nebraska to get to Denver for that one. The things poor college students do to watch a good ol’ fashioned stomping

yeah their RPI is so high that the likelihood of them dropping out of that top spot is very unlikely

He doesn't score often but when he does they are monstrous goals.

Haha please share some quips for the group so we can get some laughs after knowing what he’s saying about us

Kunz looked good on that line with Omac and Blake tonight. Every line was clicking very well tonight, man it was fun to watch them crush Duluth!

No one is going to have a piece of cake in the first round this year. I don’t remember the last time the bubble teams had such solid potential to make a frozen four as they do this season. For example: Just this last weekend the #17 pairwise team jumped up to #11 by sweeping the #2/3 team in the pairwise. There are always upsets, but predicting the first round winners in the NCAAs this year is going to be tougher than normal.

We also were without Sanderson (easily our best player that season) for the frozen faceoff and NCAAs in 2022. I honestly think we may have beaten 1 or both of those teams with him because those were close, winnable games. If we would have had that punch on the power play and could have driven more offense from the back end, we have a way better chance.

Yeah both the 2020 and 2021 teams would absolutely wreck this season’s team. Forward depth, goaltending, and d Corp. a top line of Guchi Adams and mismash combined with Shane pinto centering 2nd line and Weatherby centering 3rd line is pure insanity. Plus Scheel was a better and more consistent goalie. I still give 2021 the edge with Sanderson and Kleven on D along with JBD kierstad, bast, Frisch. Too good and a team that could have gone head to head with 2016 or 2011 when it comes to scoring depth, all around defensive play, and goaltending.

I’d like to see hedquist due to Persson’s complete lack of consistency for weeks. But since we need to get in a rhythm leading into playoffs I’m guessing Berry plays Persson to see if he can get out of his funk and start playing well every night to the level we know he can play at. But our play in front of him was a massive problem all weekend so if we clean that up, I like our chances this coming weekend. I don’t see us getting 6 clean points but I think we get 4-5 out of the weekend and “win” the series. Although we should get 6 against them at home just looking at paper and computers haha

Has Mayotte done a better job with what he has compared to Berry doing what he's done with our talent? Then yes, Mayotte wins. And I'm still saying Berry has done a really good job and I still want him as our coach. But Mayotte is easily the NCHC coach of the year. I know you can't really admit that on a public forum but Mayotte has done an incredible job this season in the conference from a coaching standpoint with Berry being number 2.

Who are we thinking on coach of the year at this point? lol sorry…too fun to ignore. Yes Berry really has done great but Mayotte has done better.

I rescind this. Please excuse me jinxing the 3rd period

Win or lose we have to be happy with the response this team has shown compared to last night. This 3rd period will tell the story of how we face this adversity.

We badly need James back tonight. Can’t lose our fastest skater against a team like this. Man I hope we play smart in the 3rd and leave with at least something more than 0 points

The effort is there for sure, no one can complain about that. But last year’s d zone play has shown up at times this weekend with the dumb mistakes. Time to get back to our d zone play we had a few weeks ago
