I think part of it is being more tentative in trying to close out the game because of the large ice surface and not wanting to get caught. Probably shows up more when the game is on the line. One week of practicing on Olympic ice doesn’t make up for a lifetime of knowing what your gapping should look like especially at end of game pressures.

Yeah, three icings where a little touch or off the boards would have killed a lot more time. Thankfully Reschny was very good in the faceoff circle.

When is the prospects game with a bunch of our recruits? Is it being streamed anywhere? Assuming it is soon since players gone from their junior team rosters.

Reschny is mature both on and off the ice.

Yeah, there are a few games they used to pick up on the road that they haven’t lately. Even the game in Bemidji they are trying to squeeze the extra bucks for the Midco plus. Wonder if next time the contract comes up if UND thinks they can have better promotion elsewhere. If they aren’t adding anything else to their package even with other sports, there are plenty of other streaming services to choose from.

True, some people have different wants and priorities. Sometimes it might not seem worth it to leave for one year and start all new relationships with coaches and your inner circle when you can get noticed where you are at. Who knows how certain financial considerations play into that.

Which is why Rucker is likely gone.

Sometimes it’s a matter of a team thinking they have it in the bag and losing a bit of focus and letting up, even if it is slightly. They give up one score, no big deal, they give up another and they start playing not to lose and the other team starts to think they have a chance. Suddenly the ball of momentum is running down hill and is hard to stop. Don’t know if that was the case here, but have seen it on many occasions.

I see he scored his first goal tonight for Penticton, so question answered.

Thanks. I see our league is 8-5 against Big Ten, so 9-5 if Denver wins tonight. Certainly helps offset our loss to Clarkson. Can’t afford slipping in our last non conference series against Mercyworst.

After Arizona State’s overtime wins against the Big Ten, what is the overall head to head records between the NCHC and Big Ten? I think the Denver game tonight and the series between Western and Notre Dame are the last games between the leagues this season, so hopefully our league finishes strong.

Did DeMars go back to high school too? Didn’t see his name for Penticton the last few games.

Ashton Schultz with a hat trick and assist tonight for Chicago. Going to be very competitive for who comes in next year.

Quit trying to instigate.

It surprises me the disdain for a returning All American defenseman who was one of the first to commit back with the program, which helped prevent a bigger exodus, and be in the running for CHL talent. To each his own I guess.

Need Arizona State to beat Ohio State for the head to head comparisons between the two leagues.

Last time they leaped to the next level UND had already surpassed them, so after losing to Bubba a couple years ago, and surviving a couple weeks ago, they are getting ahead of the game this time.

CHL vs. NTDP on NHL network with plenty of the names mentioned as prospective recruits - Lin, Rudolph, Pantelas, Carels, and Preston.

It says that his dad is Corey McKinnon, not Kevin, so not sure how he is tied to UND, as Kevin is the only McKinnon I can find playing hockey at UND. Maybe some other ties to Grand Forks or the University.

Craig Button has Verhoeff at #3, Carson Carels at #6, Cooper Williams at #19, and Mathis Preston at #25. Carels and Preston have been talked about as potential. Surprised Carels was above Lin and Rudolph.

Would probably say the same with Pilgrim.

Hopefully this is the start of good things. Maybe baby steps for Jerry as well, as he finally drove us down the field and delivered on the two point conversion, only to lose in overtime. Hopefully that helps the confidence in those situations moving forward.

Yeah, it’s got to be tough getting super excited about a game the fans don’t care about that much when it is mid season and the stats don’t count. I can see the same fans complaining about an injury that could possibly take place in that game because a player was going all out hitting the opposition. You actually hear people on this site say they just hope nobody else gets hurt in this game. Some people want to have it both ways. I certainly didn’t see any of our players shying away from hits and had a better focus than I have seen in a long time for a meaningless game in the grand scheme of things, other than some players having a chance to show the coaches something.

It is curious how we go from an up the gut play against the Bison on 4th down with the game on the line, to a low percentage bomb to the end zone against SDSU. Nothing in between to choose from? Is Isaac going to get indignant again and say he would do the exact same thing as he did about the 3 failed attempts at the goal line against the Bison?

You said we are a lock and they will take 7 MVFC teams, so we should be in then.
