Schlossman said that Brendan Bushy is suspended for contact to the head in the last game versus Miami, and that he gets to serve the suspension during their exhibition game. Now the question will be, is this the new precedent, or will they find a way to delve out punishment differently in other incidents? Who is involved in the supplemental discipline anyway. Will look pretty bad if they differ in punishment, what with the Commissioner being the former Athletic Director at St. Cloud State. Of course we saw how that works with Cooper Moore being suspended for a similar hit as Savoie, yet he didn't have supplemental discipline even though it was near the end of the game.

Who knows, but they always play pretty tough at home. Lost to Michigan by a goal in Ann Arbor outshooting them slightly, then lost in overtime the next night outshooting them 45-27 but gave up 4 power play goals. I’m sure Michigan wanted to pummel them because the accusation they dodged them last year, but they held their own.

Need all of the NCHC teams to do really well in the last non-conference series or two. CC has Princeton DU has Lindenwood and Alaska Fairbanks Miami has Niagara Duluth has St. Thomas and Bemidji State Omaha has St. Lawrence St. Cloud has Minnesota Western Michigan has Michigan Tech and TBD in GLI and as everyone has expressed we have to beat Lindenwood.

Maybe it’s just looking too closely, but I was glad to see there was a subdued reaction to the extra point. Hoping that means they know the work begins tomorrow and that a loss means the weekend puts them another step back. Seemed like they celebrated more in winning the shootout against Quinnipiac, and it seemed they played like it was a win the next night. Get a win tomorrow they can feel better, but a loss doesn’t lead to any momentum going into the second half.

A little bit of payback for them getting Morrow to flip.

Surprises me he didn’t at least make the trip, but I think it’s time for a goalie to step up, and the team to step up and not allow as many quality scoring chances.

Think that this is probably going to happen, and maybe they clamp down in front of him.

... and both are coaches kids, correct?

Is anyone else shocked that 1st round draft pick Isaac Howard only has 1 goal and 4 assists for Duluth and a team worst -10? Just goes to show you that you can't always depend on the young elite talent to produce right away, and that overage diamonds in the rough like Ryan McAllister can sometimes be a sensible way to make up for lack of super high end guys. The positive thing for Duluth is they probably get him for longer due to his slow start, and combined with Ben Steeves, that is a good combo to build from, although if Howard has an amazing sophomore season he could take off.

Schlossman's article said that although they don't give up many shots, the ones they are giving up are in quality scoring areas. Hard to have a great save percentage if you aren't getting to save easy ones now and again, but are subject to many quality chances.

If we are fortunate enough to win, I think the games will be close. UND has been in tight games all season, I don't see that changing, especially against a highly ranked team on the road.

…and you’re complaining about the Hawk logo on the hockey uniforms? That is probably 20 times the size as that. Almost like they did the same you are accusing of the hockey program.

Don’t remember the Sioux logo on the side of the football helmets back when that was the nickname, but now we need to have rules where the logo is or isn’t placed?

Did you show me the Sioux logo and name on football helmets and jerseys back in that era?

Wonder if Berry can make as much as the consultant firm did that gave us their doodling. Maybe an investigation needs to be taken up on that end as well.

If Berry was all about money, why did he gift those scholarships to students last year?

Exactly!! Between this and Fufeng, we are doomed!!

Show me football jerseys when the nickname was Sioux that extensively used Fighting Sioux and the logo? Not saying they didn't use them at one time, but I don't recall them being a huge part of the uniforms, especially in the last decade or so of the nickname.

Not prominent enough. Isn't that the argument when UND has the patches on the hockey jerseys?

Do the other sports have jerseys with the nickname on them?

Didn't they change the game times in the regionals because of the Michigan Covid fiasco, where UND had to play the late game as a number 1 seed, then had to play Duluth the next day coming off of the late game. Not sure if the game time change just became flexible in the case of a forfeit, or what, but nevertheless it was changed in part because of our regional that year, but maybe they couldn't stand Motzko whining that they had to play Mankato coming off of the late game, and Minnesota was the top seed.

Does anyone have UND's numbers? Would guess the trend to online learning has something to do with lower numbers on campus, or do those numbers include that.

...or maybe they are looking to have a few more guys that could be around more than one or two years.

Yeah, the last 3 regionals we have hosted, we missed NCAA in Sioux Falls, missed in Fargo, then had the Covid year 5 OT loss in Fargo. Kind of makes you wonder if this bid regional will follow suit. To be honest I am on the fence on this one.
