Looks like a forgettable weekend for fans. UMD is definitely a good team though and UND doesn't seem to be there yet and not fully clicking. Be nice if the team comes out in the third and shows some life and pots a couple of goals....

Has he said Fire Hakstol yet? If not, it isn't him.

Well there's the first letdown. The defense needs to get better because it was atrocious tonight and UMD took advantage. UND needs to come out tomorrow with more fire. With that said: #BooBerry ?

Bemidji never quits while UND went on cruise control after scoring 5th goal. Can't do that. But Bemidji is definitely good this year.

First time i had to use NCHC.tv tonight and it has been perfect. Using 4th gen Apple TV that is hardwired with Ethernet.

Omaha being Omaha?

I think Mafiaman has developed Stockholm Syndrome as a result of spending time at GPL.

There's the trademarked Minnesota Gopher implosion we've gotten accustomed to seeing. I hope @DaveK is ok. After having to defend the Gophers reputation, this must've stung.

It makes so much sense that you are a Gophers and Penguins fan.

Gornall makes it 5-1 UND.

Tucker Poolman scores from the point on the PP. 4-1 UND.

Agreed. He's done well. Boeser scores on PP. Makes it 3-1 UND.

Hopefully NeuLion fixes the problems before the season officially starts next weekend. What a joke.

And we can at least count on SUCS to find ways to choke in the NCAA tournament when they make it. But hey! It'll be another NCAA participation banner in the rafters! With that said, not sure how good St. Cloud will be. Last year was definitely the year their program had a really good chance of going for a championship. This year? Not sure.

Decided against buying tickets. Already driving to Minneapolis that weekend to attend the Vikings/Lions game. Thought it'd be great to also be able to catch the hockey games in person but I just couldn't justify dropping $100-130 per ticket each night. Is Senser's in Bloomington still a location where UND fans congregate for UND games? Think I'll be planning to hang out there.

Gotta say I love that UND went for the win. Good throw by Keaton but receiver just couldn't haul it in. Too bad. Would've been awesome.

Be nice if they eventually make the NCHC.tv app available for Amazon Fire TV devices. Luckily I do have an Apple TV.

It's actually not too bad.

Gopher fans were merciless during that 2003-2015 stretch of UND's inability to get over the proverbial hump. What comes around, goes around. Don't get why some people have to be party poopers.

I'd say they've been contenders year in and year out on winning the cupcake 6-team Big Ten conference title.

They have a national title banner in the rafters, they built a new arena, they seem quite committed to hockey. Plus Sandelin? lol To keep this going, why CC? Never mind, every conference needs a doormat or two.

I'll preface this by saying I'm fine with St. Cloud in the NCHC. They have been flourishing so far. However, their admission to the NCHC in my opinion made a mockery of the reasons/justifications of why the NCHC formed in the first place. They were the sloppy seconds that the NCHC admitted since the hot girl(Notre Dame) didn't join for even numbers purposes.

Who cares if they are DII in other sports? This is about hockey. Especially when one could say UND is a mediocre FCS school.... I've already shared my thoughts in the thread about ASU but I'm all for Mankato joining the NCHC. Would love another easy weekend road trip plus Mankato has been fielding a competitive hockey team since Hastings became head coach of the program. The NCHC threw away their principles when they admitted St. Cloud.

So there's a chance that UND will actually beat BC this season?

Agree to disagree. While I get the whole "big brother" aspect of UND/Bemidji. I've always found Bemidji's style of play boring as hell. Do what you have to, to win but no thanks on having to play for conference points.
