St Cloud making it look easy tonight. 3-0 still in the first.

I like the part where Hain starts giving shots to a Denver defenseman that's six inches taller. (and probably 30 pounds)

Good news is lower probability of Denver scoring. Bad news is ....

I have good news and bad news: A UND powerplay upcoming.

No, he's just trolling. As always.

THanks for the update. It was certainly plausible ...

I think its equally likely that NCHC officials bend over backwards to make sure they can't be seen as favoring UND.

Land of 10,000 Excuses.

Benson with a shot to the head against Kierstad. Pretty sure that major will go uncalled too.

Tonight they were commemorating the 1979 team. I think its fabulous they lost.

Poehling should get a suspension for abuse of referee among other things.

Now the marbles in each pocket are even, and the refs can put their whistles away.

That last power play: "just don't give up a shorty". Mission accomplished.

Of all the commentators around, the one I would most like to have a beer with is: Jake Brandt.

Senden is worth every scholarship dollar we can give him. Does he have any brothers? or Sisters?

Review it for a major on Schuldt.

Scheel needs to stop that.

Not perfect. But good.

Poehling takes a stupid penalty. Pressure does that to your opppnent.

UND with great pressure so far. 200 foot effort.

Jones! 1-0

In the biggest conference game of the season at The John, Minnesota has a dreaded two goal lead vs Wisconsin. The 4,000 in attendance are in a frenzied state of excitement. Well .... NOT. Game on FSN Plus

Western Michigan with the dreaded two goal lead. vs Denver. CC with the even worse three goal lead vs Miami.

Combination of expect the unexpected, and a team that has played up to its opponents. I'm assuming also that Nick Jones plays healthy, as he's been key to us having the puck a lot. We need to not take needless penalties, and we need to get good goaltending. I don't see us scoring more than 2, but I can see us limiting their chances. And yeah, I'm wearing green colored glasses.
