There have been plenty times this year that I wish we had played with that level of exuberance and passion. Hope UND can be buzzing that way this weekend and down the stretch.

It would be nice to know how many hits made by Kleven have been reviewed. It is getting ridiculous, especially when they don’t seem to be reviewing other cheap stuff that is going on. Wonder if Schlossman has access to information as to how many plays have been reviewed across the league and the leaders individually and team wise.

It really is up to Berry to pin down the league on why one is a suspension and the other isn’t, so he can have that in his holster for the future. But we’re talking about a head of officials that looks past Paukovich’s blow that caused Robbie Bina’s neck injury. Who knows, Adam might let the truth slip out and say, “because one plays for Denver and the other for UND.”

Kind of figured that's what happened. I imagine they were afraid that the number of people in the last wave might overwhelm the system. Maybe they should have split the numbers in each wave even further to prevent that, but it is what it is. I'm in the arena, so just have to look at opportunities to upgrade from here until October.

Actually, if you hit the change button it asks you if you want to accept or release the tickets, then if you say release, it brings you back and you start all over and it just gives you the same seats unless someone else has taken them. I find it odd that you would put on your seating chart "The End UND Shoots Twice" when you can't change your preference to that end. I'm like you, got tickets, but really not happy at all about sitting at the opposite end that I want to sit. Some people do go for the game along with the other fanfare.

How do you do that, it picked best available for me, and was worried to go back for fear of losing my ability to use my presale number..

You're lucky you are not cancelled even though there wasn't any malicious intent. Seems it is hard to make an honest mistake now without it being an unforgivable infraction.

Same here, which would possibly give us Omaha for two weeks in a row, which would be the same scenario for St. Cloud / Duluth. Could get ugly.

Even so, they could be a scary team to face in the postseason. Duluth hasn't had great league finishes and still caught fire in the postseason. Could use a little help from them this weekend against Western Michigan.

So can Berry make it clear to the team that because of those games, if they lose once this weekend they most likely won’t make the NCAA tourney short of winning the NCHC Faceoff? Of course it doesn’t seem to click until after it’s too late. It took them forever to focus in on playing well on Friday, well this weekend is a must if they want to keep up with other teams in the pairwise.

But Covid had us playing Omaha without Sanderson.

Just like playing Omaha without Sanderson did us no favors.

Why would you have WMU as set at #2 when they aren’t even there now, and still have to play Denver at St. Cloud and here? We should have Sanderson back when we play Western, and they aren’t as dominant on the road. And if St. Cloud can’t return the favor to WMU, they may be fighting it out with Omaha for sixth. I definitely would rather play Omaha than St. Cloud though.

But we play some of those teams above us and same goes for other teams. A sweep against Duluth or Western would go along way. If St. Cloud starts to beat those teams as well, things could change fast.

I agree. Go back to overtime actually meaning something, then if tied after that use the gimmickry.

I thought UND played them pretty well, just couldn’t put the puck in the net, and Bussi played pretty well. We’ll see how they play us here.

No, UND doesn’t need this mentality. There is something called class, and the same way you don’t throw bombs in football when the game is in hand, you don’t load up your power play, unless the other team is being cheap. UND needs the mentality to get to the point where the games are in hand, and not going to shutdown hockey too soon.

Win out? If we take care of business at home against UNO and CC, we can probably split the rest and win our first round playoff series and be about where we are now, if not better.

It seems every game turned the wrong way for UND’s purposes.

Shocker, Denver doesn’t get a 5 minute major for an obvious elbow to the head. How is that indirect contact?

Then maybe a couple shootout losses for Denver against St. Cloud would be nice.

https://www.nchchockey.com/tie-breakers#:~:text=Tie Breakers,will receive a Penrose Cup. Looks like it is not.

But is that still the tie breaker if they only played in Grand Forks?

That definitely will be the key. If they win all 4, they will be in good shape. If they lay an egg, then all bets are off. I would hope that with their pairwise ranking on the bubble, they would keep their nose to the grindstone, but who knows with the inconsistency we've seen. So, do we still hope for an NCHC title and hope for St. Cloud to beat Denver, or do we want Denver to win so we have an easier route to home ice?

Have a single ticket available for each night left.
