Touchdown Jesus shoots …. And Dryden McKay SAVES!

Great team defense that entire 60 minutes. Congratulations Mavs.

He solved Da Riddle that is Notre Dame.

Their coaches saw something, and the forecheck is working so far.

Great teams , I think, can do both. But a heavy forecheck only works with great team chemistry and a speed advantage over an opponent you think is vulnerable. Trap is low risk and can be done with average talent.

Period one was not a penalty. Called only because guy was injured. Period two was a penalty. Bit dangerous by Aamodt. imo

I’m loving MSU coming heavy and fast with a forecheck in period two. Catching the ND by surprise.

I think if Quinnipiac played in the NCHC, the much-acclaimed Yaniv Perets would have a GAA around 4.

And last season… And the season before that … And the season before that …

And ignoring the rules as they are written. Even the ESPN guys were saying first UMass goal should be disallowed edit: I am as happy as the next guy that UMinn is behind but really …

Something Jason Herter is doing is working. First UMD now Western.

Gonna have to wait until next year. The upcoming national champions got a scare today, but seem well suited as a tournament team.

Would like to see Ford shoot the puck. He’s been in scoring chance position and passed at least three times.

And takes the pressure off guys who are expected to carry the scoring load.

I’m impressed with our own zone play as generally sound team hockey. Not perfect, but they have got it together. now just stay out of the box. Especially period two.

Brendan Furry with revenge! Good for him.

Also, I really enjoy Ben Holden and Dave Starman as commentators. Their chemistry is superb, as their intelligence.

Ole! oleoleole! Ole! Ole! Mavs 1-0 15 minutes in.

They've had hockey for say 50 years, so an Intervention is overdue. My thinking is that BC got all of Notre Dame's luck ... 01, 06, 07, 08, etc etc

Asking for betting odds: What are the odds ESPN shows a "Bison" logo for Notre Dame's opponent for round one in Albany?

I'm betting that Mankato is pretty happy with the draw too.

He's had 22 years to sip that scotch.

Same as he ran for 15 plus at Rodent U.

Indeed. Credit also to an overdue coaching switch. Mike Hastings has been consistently good.
