The rope-a-dope only works if you have a goalie play out of his head and one team miss a ton of golden opportunities. Would guess if they spend 2/3 of the game in their end the next game the odds may catch up with them.
Say what you will about AF but they were outstanding in a number of areas. Their defensive stick work and tenacity along the boards was a joy to watch. I wish UND was that good. They outplayed SC in the first but got badly outplayed in the second. AF stepped it up in the third but still got outplayed by a bit. I have a feeling AF will be tired tonight.

Well if you ask Bruce Ciskie, the bulldogs were on the short end of the officiating. Jones only got “clipped” on the knee on knee major. That guy is the definition of clown for his twitter posts during the game and for his play by play of it all as well. Whining about UND when his team is taking runs and has lost its head against UND (again).
Had little respect for him before but he always finds a way to out do himself. He can hate UND all he wants, because he is terrible at what he does and we hate him too.....
So Jones only got clipped? The refs went to the camera review and spent a very brief time reviewing it before issuing the 5. It must have been quite obvious to them.

Boy was Coach Berry upset today. After the UMD 5 minute major was called for kneeing, he was pounding on the glass between the two benches and yelling at UMD coaching staff. Then during the handshake line he refused to shake UMD coaches hands and simply left the line to shake the hands of the officiating staff.

I sent you a text. Check "your iPhone 4".
Careful there. Mine is an iPhone 4S and it works smarter than some people.

Yah, I wasn’t rather disappointed in MafiaMan as well. There’s another commonly mis-used phrase in my post as well. A gold star to whoever (or is it, whomever?) can point it out.
And I couldn't care less about your mis-used phrase.

For those who haven't made reservations yet, the Mpls. Hilton still has rooms for about $92/night plus fees. Much cheaper than anything we could find in St. Paul. Parking is extra, of course.

We're on the same team here, Old Fella. I'm not sure how up-to-date you are on the board, but we have lots of pre-2016 folks here who felt that a Sandelin-like record over the course of a decade would be perfectly fine if the team won 1 title. Well, now that title has happened within recent memory, but this board still melts down after every loss. There are no guarantees. It might be 2091 before North Dakota wins another one.
I'm hardly a guru...just a fan, like pretty much everyone else here. Attended UND from 88-92 and watched some pretty disappointing hockey. All bad memories were erased by the 97 team and then -- BOOM! -- 00 gives me some more good times. 16 makes 3 NCAA titles since I've followed the school and the team. I could die happy sports-wise tomorrow, although I hope that sports victories aren't the highlight of my life when it's over.
We are spoiled as fans - and those who don't think as such are plain wrong. Yes, we've had some low lows, but we most certainly have had more good fortune than misfortune. And we all hope that that continues.
May God bless you all...and may God bless the University of North Dakota.
But aren't you solely responsible for the Michigan debacle?

I believe that we will be there (2 of us) as we have tickets and hotel is booked. Just waiting to see if my travel agent has other plans for me.

So what's the deal with Bowen?
I was at the games this weekend (yes, MafiaMan, I was there) and during the Friday night game it appeared to me that Bowen got thrown out of the faceoff circle every time but once that I remember. There may have been a few other times he did not get thrown out, but that was one issue. It also appeared that he just did not have an effective game, i.e. he was pretty much unnoticed except for getting thrown out on faceoffs. That would be my guess.

I go to almost every game and was at both games in Duluth. It was depressing. UND looked totally outclassed, as if they belonged in a lower league. They were outskated, outhustled, outclassed crashing the net, ...just out of it. They don't seem to have the heart and soul. Other than the victory in Bemidji, they have looked disorganized, out of sync, and lost for quite some time. I have not seen a UND team play like this for this many games in many years. I have seen them play better earlier this year, but not lately. There is something wrong here, whether it is rampant injuries, failed team leadership, failed coaching, etc. I just don't know. But I came away from Duluth with the belief that something is just not right with this team. I believe this team will be on the road for the first round of the playoffs, not be in St. Paul for the NCHC tournament, and are not likely to make the NCAA tournament. I hope I am wrong.

Yah, CC’s next series is a trip to Kalamazoo. I write a weekly column on the Colorado College Hockey discussion page on FB and I’m dreading writing this week’s piece. CC’s players all looked about a head shorter than Duluth’s, it’ll be even worse against Western’s monsters.
Kalamazoo is an environment that needs to be experienced as a fan. It is similar to being at Michigan Tech only take it to another level. The crowd really gets into chants against opposing teams, especially if you wind up in the penalty box. They are much more innovative and intimidating than SCSU's limited vocabulary of "you suck."

The Bemidji shot guy needs some training or has to remove his beaver colored glasses. There were shots on goal for UND that did not get counted and there were high shots going over the goal that Cam gloved and counted as a shot for Bemidji. Very good Sioux fan turnout for the game. Once UND took control about 3/4 of the way through the first it was really fun to watch.

You can just buy a youth ticket for $15 on ticket master.
I am aware of that. I can also possibly get one at the door. Just thought that I would check to see if anyone had a ticket they simply weren't going to use and throw away. I believe that I have one. It is just that they choose to jump the price of a lap ticket significantly some times.

We are looking for one ticket to take our 4 year grandson to the game on December 30th. If someone has a single ticket they don't plan to use, our grandson sure could. Obviously he will sit with us in our seats.

Any guesses who will play goalie?
My instinct tells me that if Cam is ready to go, Thome will play tonight and Cam on Saturday night to give him a game prior to some big NCHC games coming up.

Berry took the high road, like you'd expect him to do, but does anyone one else wish he would have taken a strong stance and really questioned what happened on Saturday? I wouldn't feel this way if Motzko hadn't the week before. If Berry has the same type of comments Motzko did, two different coaches, two different weeks, that puts a lot of eyes on how games are called in Denver.
I think that it goes over much better if Berry does any questioning or making comments behind closed doors directly to the NCHC. That does not put the NCHC in the controversial public spotlight (where most normal people do not want to be). It makes it much easier for the NCHC to take corrective measures for the future and to clue in Montgomery that it is time for an attitude adjustment.

Hasn't started for me either!

I think I got it... Someone photo shop Motzko's head in place of the Big Show, and this will be perfect.Ummm, you mean Montgomery??

This was a huge step forward for this team.

All tickets are sold.

I do but they are in 302. Great view, friendly people, plus you get your exercise climbing the stairs.

Looking forward to another good game. Will be sitting in the second level tonight. Let's get the sweep.

We still have two tickets available for Friday night against Miami. $30 each. Section 302 Row I.
2018 West Regional - Attendance
in Men's Hockey
Posted
We did the trip this past weekend and are glad that we decided to go. For the most part the road from Fargo to Sioux Falls was fine except for right on top of the Buffalo Ridge hill near Summit, SD on the trip home. There were patches of blowing snow sticking to the road and a vehicle in front of us spun out and slid into the median. Two of us managed to push the car back onto the road and that was the end of it. Other than that the conditions were good. We did the trip in just under four hours driving each way.
The Denny Sanford Arena is very nice. The lower bowl seats are nicer than the upper bowl. I am sure the announced attendance was based on tickets but the butts in the seats were definitely far more than we see in other regionals. Everything was well done. Parking was free unless you wanted to park right near (and I mean directly alongside) the arena. We were at most a block away from the front door both nights. I will gladly attend another regional there. Definitely more room than Fargo. On Saturday we did a walking tour of Falls Park which was interesting. Had no idea that was there and there is a long history behind it.
