UND committed a month worth of turnovers in our own zone. With clear possession, and sometimes pressure but often not, we sent the puck to a DU player who kept us bottled up or got a scoring chance. All those turnovers have to stop. More poise with the puck please.

Gophers are a step behind the Ugly Helmets.

Robot hockey.

After the Fargo regional ?

Everyone else on the bubble is suddenly Badger fans

Kudos to CC for leaving it all on the ice. Also, I am a fan of Heinert and Starman as a broadcast team.

CC getting a five minute rest was just as important to them as the goal getting waved off.

So, AIC hasn't played since January 30. Six weeks. I'd love to face them in any game. (Penn State got waxed by Notre Dame after a long layoff too.) Or maybe the other AHA teams will fail protocols and they can get the autobid without firing a shot.

In a weird year like this, maybe the Champions will win by passing COVID tests four times, and their opponents fail four times.

So basically, the Summit League is the hobos of college basketball?

If Denver was coached by Hakstol and had the leadership on the team that UND did back when we won it short handed, then they would be okay. But they aren't. So I pick Omaha too.

George Parros is running it now.

The guy from SI has a point. https://www.si.com/hockey/news/why-does-the-nhl-keep-enabling-tom-wilson Depends on how many times you've been suspended. Progressively increasing ... except in this case its less than half of his last suspension.

They are off balanced, but the NCAA has asked the Selection Committee to reduce flights. So normally the #1 seed gets the #16 seed. This year, I think they settle for "band level" seeding (#1-#4 play #13-#16) in order to minimize travel. Yeah I think we're getting four Western teams in the Fargo regional. I found the interview with Mike Kemp informative: https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2021/02/19_QA-With--NCAA-Committee.php

I would like a change to the answer to the question: "Who scored the most recent game winning goal in NCAA Tournament play for UND?"

Thanks for the flashback. This one brings back vivid memories, to be sure. Coming right after the horrible injury to Robbie Bina at the WCHA FF, I remain impressed, and amazed all these years later at the character and focus the UND guys displayed, through that 3rd place win over Minnesota, the Beanpot regional, and both games of the Frozen Four. They did themselves proud, and certainly made me even prouder to wear a jersey to the games. I still feel like the ESPN announcers overplayed the big bad UND vs small fast MN ... there really wasn't that much difference in size, and our guys were just as fast as they were. I kept expecting a Minnesota comeback, and was surprised they gave us nothing through two periods. Almost as surprised as UND only getting 2 goals when it could have been 6 or 7. P.S. I miss when body checking was allowed in college hockey.

I can see why UNO has their undies in a bundle ... we have won 9 games at their rink this season. That compares to 6 wins at the Ralph.

Congratulations to MSU Mankato for winning the Macnaughton Cup for the 4th consecutive season.

Good one, but I’m not falling for the trick question. Neither of Denver’s fans has a job.

Oh rats. Just when this were going so well. Then THIS has to happen: https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2021/02/23_Team-of-the-Week-North-Dakota.php Of course it happens to a lot of teams the week after they play Omaha!

Scheduling mistake to play four games in a row vs same opponent.

Yeah his GAA skyrockets to 1.03. And his save percentage plummets to .947.

During which time UND hockey has won 10 regular season conference titles. That's not a mis-print: 10.

I'm sure UM-Duluth would be happy to return there.

MSU played the first 104 minutes of the weekend before giving UAH a powerplay. Nice.
