You seriously believe he tried to hit Drake? I'm sure every ref is out to get UND.

The Sioux winning a Natty would be good!

How many days is that for?

Just goes to show that everybody that has a theory on who is going to leave is pure conjecture because for the most part we have no idea what is going on behind the scenes.

No doubt it's time! Hermantown finally got it done this year. It's our turn now.

Win it to keep alive the legacy you deserve for this great season.

That's my point. A goaltender people perceive as terrible has good and great games on occasion or else he wouldn't be playing.

Have we had terrible goaltenders for 15 years?

Keep in mind that teams that UND has lost to are ones that had a great top line that lit the lamp. Hopefully Cam and Wolanin can help put their home state team away.

If they got enough, they could do two divisions, and we could be in the "Legends" division!

Maybe Minnesota could get rid of Lucia and get a major rival again all by making that move. Maybe Lucia was so focused on getting Notre Dame in the Big Ten and fund raising for them that he didn't focus enough on getting his team to the Dance. Either that, or he mailed it in so he could watch his kid in the Big Dance for his Senior season.

I agree, it would have not been a goal, but with the standard of reviewing everything from sure goals to plays that were not even close to going in the net, it certainly should have at least been looked at. If that had been in the National Tournament, there certainly would have been more of stink raised by UND fans and coaches.

But Yote guy seems to think it's likely Lincoln will start up hockey. All these rumors smacks of the old Ferris Bueller bit.

Yeah, don't think it would ever have been overturned, but when everyone in our section was looking for a review, it certainly seems odd they didn't take a quick look. But as you say, this is the crew that had to look at the Duluth goal that everybody knew was in.

That would be absolutely baffling.

... and we see what happens to fan support across the country if you don't win. Just win!

Yeah, I just keep picturing Boeser trying to get off a one-timer or loading up his wrist shot with the puck bouncing all the time.

http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/3986896-und-hockey-und-averages-more-sellout Attendance figures for this year. UND with almost 2000 more fans a game than Minnesota which was 2nd on the list. Of course if it was butts in the seats, that figure would probably be 4000-5000 more. Would imagine Omaha might even be 2nd on that list with their new arena.

Berry was just on 1440, the Fan, and he said another part of the reason to take the afternoon game, besides the rest, is that the ice surface should be at it's best. With the skill on this team, you can't argue that line of thinking. If the puck is bouncing and such, it really would hurt Nick Schmaltz's ability to use his best skill, and really the team as a whole.

Wonder if that is what happened in this circumstance.

Really?

Sure, haughty now for UND, but if they lost, you would be the first calling out the team for not living up to your expectations and backing up your smack talk.

Yeah, let's hope he doesn't lose it at the wrong time. I saw a few times where UND players went after guys after they felt they were wronged. Chyzyk and Boeser have looked for retribution a few times after missed calls the other way. Hopefully they take some for the team and the refs make up for missed calls going forward. Did anyone from UND address the video review of Poolman's hit? I can see them reviewing the play for a major if they called a penalty initially, but when they didn't call anything, how do you review that. That is opening a can of worms that can make games 2-1/2 to 3 hours long.

I'm really not sure who could win this year. The factors that could go against him, are that he is a freshman, playing on a high scoring, poor defensive team in the Big Ten. Yes, his plus/minus is just below the leader in Caggiula, but in a league that hasn't been that good defensively. I'm not sure he is the clear cut leader, but in absence of another one, he could still be the leader in the clubhouse.

Yeah, if a goal that takes that kind of timing and teamwork x5 isn't the play of the year, why bother. To have that many passes just inside the line is incredible. One pass is off slightly and the whole timing is screwed up.
