I was fully expecting Savoie and Kleven to both get suspensions, even though the intent was clearly different. I figured they would be afraid to suspend just one, but nothing surprises me with Don Adam, the tool behind the Robbie Bina fiasco.

I think this UND team has to stay super focused on weekends like this. Even though we swept Denver last weekend, it is going to be tough to do that against the elite teams in the NCHC. I think if UND can make sure they bring it every game against teams they are "supposed to beat", I think they should finish well in the league. If they throw away some of these games, it could be nip and tuck all year as to home ice and the NCAA tourney. Let's face it, against St. Cloud, Duluth, Western, Denver and Omaha splits are most likely going to happen, especially on the road, but if you can take care of the games you should, then you have a little more wiggle room if you have a bad weekend against the top teams.

Saw John Hill at the game on Friday, and was wondering why he would be here. Looks like he is a scout for Edmonton now. Hopefully Dave Tippett has a ton of other scouts He can depend on.

According to Schlossman, UND didn’t have a power play last night, so not sure Denver has a lot to complain about. Of course when you depend on getting far more power plays than the opposition, you probably have a skewed perspective.

Saturday tickets gone.

Two tickets for Friday, 11/05 & Saturday 11/06 vs. Denver. Section 302A, Row G, on the end UND shoots twice. $35 each ticket, sold in pairs. (701) 330-8439 Brian. Accept PayPal.

...and I believe all their games have been at home as well.

Anyone else having a problem not getting a verification code for the clear access app?

You would think that winning should be enough motivation, but sometimes feeling slighted seems to get a person a bit more motivated. You always see guys that are traded away from teams perform quite well when they play their old team. You also have guys like Brooks Koepka that seem to perform very well when he feels slighted, and many times I think the slight is something he makes up to push himself to another level.

But for some questionable calls in the Minnesota/St. Cloud, Western Michigan / Michigan, games it could be 8-3 for the NCHC. Guess UND better do its part this weekend against Penn State.

Probably came on to Sioux Sports and saw that many fans think UND is miles behind Quinnipiac.

Usually you get to that spot of the field with no timeouts, you take two shots at the end zone and kick a field goal if you don’t connect. Not with our two yard passes and hope for someone to break tackles in an area of the field where that is very difficult. If you watch that last play, Tommy was the only one with sense. Everyone else stood there without trying to get open.

Didn’t look like a first down to me.

I guess we are just jinxed. Seriously, you’re going to take a chance on two runs where the clock won’t stop? Don’t be upset with the refs with stupid decisions like that. Why should the refs stop the clock to bail you out?

Wasn’t exactly air or touch on that pass either. Not good on such a short pass and your receiver isn’t even able to get a hand on it.

Or run play action off of a handoff to Weah.

I don’t consider self inflicted, or dumb calls jinxed.

This is why UND has problems. They stop Western with a chance to go up by more and they have a guy run into the kicker who had no intention of blocking the kick, ultimately ending in Western scoring.

Thank you. I was going to respond that we got a penalty in St. Cloud once for a reverse hit, but for some reason I was picturing Gage Ausmus, but now that you mentioned it, I can visualize the Blood hit clearly.

Guessing if the defense was as bad as people have said, they stick with their guy and commit to be better defensively.

Really? Already?

Just saying if there is stuff going on behind the scenes where he isn't being a good teammate, you can't just show up and have a good game and everything is fine with your teammates unless your mindset or actions change.

No, he wouldn't want a measly 6th round draft pick.

But I also wouldn't like the optics of because you perform well you get a pass on things, if indeed their are issues behind the scenes. I know what you are saying though, he better play well, then remove all doubt going forward.

Guess I am still not sure what he did. Were the rumors correct?
