Dean Blais and the Line of Fire take on Goldy at Mary-oochie Arena, January 12, 2001.

Sioux vs Wisconsin at REA...Jake Brandt in goal for UND. First intermission has an interview with former UND president Tom Clifford... he had just won the state's hightest honor, the RoughRider Award. What a guy! He is the gold standard that every other UND president will be held up to.

I see YouTube took down the UND-DU 2016 semifinal as well...godda****it! Tried to re-upload the Quinnipiac championship game and it was automatically blocked.

I'm re-uploading the 2016 championship game right now...I'll put the link here when it's done; download asap before the YouTube police block it again!

Well that would be nice...

Good idea...maybe I'll put those 3 games back out there and anyone who wants them can download them to their own pc. Thanks!

Bummer...well, watch them while you can!

That would be a first...

Yeah, they have blocked 3 games so far (2006 regional against Michigan, 2007 regional against Minny, 2016 Final against the Q) due to copyright reasons...and it's for video content. (usually it's audio) The gave me an option to trim out certain sections...I thought I would give that a try, but when I go to trim out a 2 minute section, a new window pops up and it suddenly becomes a 40 minute section...wtf? Like you said, some of these guys are just outright ***holes...why would you care if somebody made a 15 year old hockey game available on a non-monetized site?

Not necessary but thanks anyway...what I really need is to understand why YouTube is now blocking some of the videos. Anybody out there that is a YouTube guru feel free to contact me and fill me in. Thanks.

No problem

Home game in round one of the 2010 WCHA playoffs for UND vs Minny. Gofer Goalie Alex Kangas says in pregame he hates UND, the building, the fans, the entire state...apparently he hates stopping the puck too as gets yanked after two periods. Sioux cruise 6-0!

What makes you say that? Are you really in the Mafia? Is my heart really black?

Good stuff...I have another Friday night beatdown coming your way sometime later today...more lack of effort by our Minnesota friends.

The Sioux punch their ticket to the 2000 Frozen Four with a win over upstart Niagara at Mariucci Arena. Andy Kollar, in for the injured Karl Goehring, backstopped the Sioux to a 4-1 victory. I was fortunate enough to attend this one and I'll always remember the way Commie went after the Niagara player who plowed into Kollar in the second period. (right after the 1:05:35 mark)

My pleasure; hope they bring back a lot of good memories.

A total of 21 players from this title game played in the NHL. UND (12) sent James Patrick, Craig Ludwig, Troy Murray, Dave Tippett, Rick Zombo, Phil Sykes, Jon Casey, Dave Donelly, Gord Sherven, Darren Jensen, Jim Archibald, and Dan Brennan to the NHL. From Wisonsin (9) came Chris Chelios, Bruce Driver, Brian Mullen, Pat Flatley, Marc Behrend, John Newberry, Phil Houck, John Johannson, and Terry Kleisinger. That's incredible!

There were still a fair amount of Sioux fans there...we ended up flying into Boston and driving to Providence. Not quite as easy as the BC fans who had about an hour drive, though. Shorter distance than Grand Forks to Fargo.

Here's their lineup against Minny in January of 2006...

Led by Phil Sykes' hat trick, North Dakota defeats the Badgers 5-2 for the NCAA title, March 27, 1982. Great game as the Sioux took a 2-2 tie going into the 3rd period and won going away. This is from an old tape so there are a couple really bad spots; especially in the 3rd period. (1:22:00-1:26:00 and 132:00-135:00) Gotta say, those Bucky fans are really having a good time. Enjoy!

UND's Pony Express Line against Furious George's DU Pioneers in the 2011 Final Five. This game was 2 OT so I ended up splitting it into two videos. That was even after cutting out the painful interview with former WCHA commish Bruce McLeod; felt like an hour but was probably only 5 minutes. Of course I'm having trouble linking everything from YouTube so for now here you go... Video 1(regulation time) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jskF_bB6Y8c Video 2 (both OT's) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwDTIwIxdDE&feature=youtu.be&t=1

If they did pick Grand Forks they have other rinks close by; Thief River, Bemidji, Fargo.

Only essential workers/people allowed into ND from other states?

Josh Seimbida, with his white goalie helmet and non-UND colored pads in goal for North Dakota as the Sioux overcome a 2-0 deficit with a 4 goal third period for the win. Seimbida had 37 saves (according to the box score) for UND.

Gotcha!
