Yah, I didn’t ever get the sense there was much animosity between CC and UND, players and fans alike. 

Always liked CC's teams as they brought a lot of skill and skating without the douche-iness of the Gofers.

Just wanted to make a quick appreciation post for the pairwise. I hate selection committees for both divisions of football. 

Florida State just got SCREWED.

And shooting.   They got no one who can shoot the puck.  

Right...but other than those two things we're pretty good.

Didn't get the outcome we wanted tonight, but I'll take 4 of 6 points in Denver.  OT looked pretty disjointed; let's get back on track next week and beat up on CC.  Start a new winning streak!

Goal tending is the teams weakness. 

This team has already essentially made the playoffs. 

Learn to see the bigger picture. Meaning defense will need to step up their game to avoid a tournament letdown. 

Nice to no longer see Brad write:  "UND outshot their opponent once again by 18 yet only scored one goal."

Seriously?

They are really stuck on the number of times that Hunter has transferred and the fact that LJV is a fifth.

They gotta talk about something other than DU getting bottled up by the Sioux.

Was there a penalty for Levinavage there at the end?

I believe so

Caponi gooning it up at the end of the period.

I'd say DU will come out flying tonight after losing in the fashion they did yesterday.  But really, they came out flying last night and really stuck it to UND for the first 20 minutes.  After that, the ice seemed to be tilted in North Dakota's favor.  Withstand DU's barrage in the first 20 minutes, and hopefully your depth allows you opportunities in the second and third period.  I think we will see better defensive effort by both teams tonight.

In some respects he reminds me of Joey Abate from UNO…always up to no good and seems to be at the center of so many scrums. 

Yeah, I kind of forgot about that guy but you’re spot on.

Caponi is the player UND has to be aware of out there in terms of dirty hits and such. Can’t stand that guy. 

100% agree...have not cared for his style of play since he was a freshman...seems like he's in the middle of every scrum.

I’ve noticed a thing DU does where after they score, they skate by the opposing bench with their sticks raised high in the air. They did this all weekend long when they curb stomped CC and I noticed it again last night. I don’t recall seeing any other team doing that, or am I missing something? I didn’t notice UND do it until after their comeback started. Perhaps turnabout is fair play? Wonder if that ticked the UND bench off a little bit when DU was doing that hence Blake and Berg and I think maybe Jamernik doing it during their third period rally. 
 

Edit: I recall seeing CC’s Noah Laba do it when he scored a pretty breakaway goal for the Tigers in the Saturday game at home in response to DU doing it as well.

NCAA along with the NHL should just go to 10-minute OT and dump the shootout. The amount of people that don't understand a shootout is a tie is way too much in the NCAA. Then you get the rumblings that owners don't like the shootout in the NHL either.

Maybe the NHL could fix their stupid point system while they're at it.

Don't underestimate the importance of defensive zone draws against DU.  I believe their first three goals were a result of winning the faceoff in UND's zone and keeping posession until they could get a shot...Sioux seemed to get better in the last two periods in that respect.

[UND vs. DU round two]

Feels like we played DU’s game last night, running and gunning.  Maybe we play our game tonight with better D and goaltending and squeak out a 2-1 or 3-2 win.

I can’t say if DU has done it in all of their games so far but they certainly did it against CC because I witnessed it. It pissed me off. Bad enough they’ve had their way against us for over a decade, don’t need to be a holes about it on top of that. 

DU can’t help it…it’s who they are.

[UND @ Denver Friday Night]

Let’s sweep these f*ckers!  Great game tonight; knew we were in it until the end.  Side note, the DU broadcast team was very good and gave Sioux credit for their excellent effort.

We jumped to #1 in the Pairwise after tonight's games.  Long way to go, but I would rather be here than sitting at 8 or 11 right now.

Nah, I’d rather be in the top four.

Did the Wild’s Kirill Kaprizov Get Away With One?

NHL won't do dick...they let Trouba for the Rangers whack Frederic for Boston in the head with his stick and he got a slap on the wrist.  Kirill the thrill better keep his head on a swivel next time they play Nashville.

As my NCHC subscription renewed today, I did a little research into this season's schedule re: whether or not it's worth it to have NCHC.tv.  The majority of Sioux games in Twin Cities can be seen on Midco Sports channel (1270 in western suburbs); you have to have the Sports Package through Comcast to get the channel.  The BU games were on ESPN+ which is a streaming service.  One game each against Western and DU are on CBS Sports; also part of the aforementioned Comcast Sports package.  That leaves two games each against Miami, St. Cloud, CC, and Omaha plus one game against DU that are ONLY on NCHC.tv.  So that's nine games that are only on NCHC.tv (although the St Cloud games are usually on the Fox 9 Plus channel).  Anyway, nine Sioux games for roughly $100 is not bad, although the production value from non-Midco broadcasts range from mediocre to terrible.(looking at you CC and St Clown)
