Has Josh Doan signed his letter of intent with Arizona State? Sure would have been nice to get him, but I’m sure his dad playing in Arizona for so long sealed the deal of him playing there.

Who get’s the 5th seed then, Denver or Western. Does it go to winning percentage with uneven games?

I tend to think that any top three NCHC team is good.

I do think that everyone is looking to knock them off. I’m already thinking of how hard it is going to be to go to Brookings next year and try to beat them again. Think of that times beating every team for how many years now and how you are bound to get beat at some point, whether it be you not having your best on any given day, or the other team stepping up and saying enough of losing to this team year after year.

If given the opportunity, does UND continue to defer to the second half and start on defense? I’m guessing yes, because they have started slow on offense as well. Looking forward to the point when Freund’s offense is so scary that they take the opening kickoff and drive it down the field like has been done to them the first two games. You certainly can’t complain about the overall results though.

I’m excited for the start but understand we have played well at home recently, but not as well on the road. Hoping the momentum has their confidence high enough to know they can do it on the road as well.

Don’t think Omaha would have beat us without our lack of discipline last time in Omaha, that is why they kept trying to taunt us into penalties last weekend. I think they know they aren’t set up to beat us 5 on 5.

Did they find out high school students don’t spread Covid or something? Why can the student section be hand in hand all the way around, but UND has to practice social distancing? Seem a bit odd of the Ralph.

I think they should hold off on some of these awards until after the regionals so they can get a little more idea on how conferences match up.

For a minute there I thought I was making that up in my mind, or that maybe the rule change was they kept it inside if it hit the crossbar, but thanks for confirming what I was originally thinking when I saw that video.

What still sits in my mind is that he made it sounds like they were friends and hung out together, and if that is indeed true, why didn't the boy's mom tell Miller I don't want you hanging out because you have been bullying him? Again, it seems like I am blaming the victim's mom, but it does seem odd, unless all the things he wrote in that apology letter were lying about them being friends and hanging out. You would think that there would be tons of people to dispute that though if it wasn't the case.

Yeah, pretty sure they aren’t going to go down that road and have to refund season ticket holders money.

So Mismash running into the goalie could have been grounds to move that series to Denver rather than in Grand Forks?

Don’t think you want the league changing schedules on a whim, and taking away home games to boot.

I’m sure Duluth and St.Cloud wouldn’t be thrilled with that scenario, where you reward Omaha with a better chance to catch one of them because of their bad behavior.

Thank goodness, as Canisius was at number 2 before getting swept by Air Force according to the numbers on CHN, while we were at 7. We are at 4 now after sweeping Omaha.

Should Berry check his ego for calling out Gabinet?

No team chirps all game long even behind by 6. It happened late last year when they took a run at Pinto, and it is happening again. I happen to think Gabinet has a lot to do with that.

Never mind, looks like he has already played Major Junior with Medicine Hat.

Anyone know Cole Sillinger’s plans. He is a 2003 that is putting up 1.5 ppg with Sioux Falls, and almost a goal a game.

If you would have told me after the Pod that we would clinch with 2 games remaining, I would have said you were crazy, now let’s push this big ball of oil out the window. (Seinfeld). Seriously, to do it early with our post Pod schedule is very impressive.

...and it also keeps Prokop out of the lineup so he can’t cheapshot anyone.

A team takes on the personality of their coach, and the Omaha team takes on the lack of class of Gabinet. When you are continually jawing when you are getting throttled it is kind of hard to respect you.

Slow starts aren’t a great recipe around tournament time. (See St. Cloud State giving major underdogs hope). The type of shutdown they have shown after the slow starts and Scheel getting us through until then is a good recipe for success. Hopefully they fix the slow starts and keep up the shutdown thereafter.

Sounds similar to when we lost to Boston College in the National Championship in overtime. UND scored twice in the final minutes to tie it 2-2, then lost in overtime with all the momentum on their side.
