I think this is one of Andy Murray's better coaching jobs. He has recruited strong skaters, who like contact, and are happy to wear down their opponents, their conditioning seems excellent, but they simply don't have the top end talent that UND does. Nor is their goaltending as good. He's getting the most out of that bunch. Kinda scary to think where they might be if they got a couple high end talents (if Austin Czarnik and Riley Barber led their top line....) I think UND showed very good discipline up and down the roster. We played patient, positional hockey. I commend the guys for holding their punches during the Friday scrum. That meant we had a full lineup on Saturday. We took their late hits, hooks, checks from behind and got powerplays because we didn't retaliate. This weekend, we showed a lot of character, which I really like. And, yes, its time to start a full fledged "Zane for Hobey" campaign. Both nights, while the score was 0-0, he made some saves ... off the goal line, diving to a puck before WMU could get to it, that were huge in the final outcome.

You could assemble one helluva hockey team just from undrafted UND players.

That sequence by Zane could go on his Hobey Baker video.

Agree... Sticks are barely used to play the puck.

Lol Soon a head will pop into view and we will find its a selfie.

While I am drinking, can anyone give me a Dramamine? I'm getting seasick from camerawork.

That game is on fox sports north ...

Since both Minnesota and North Dakota are represented on the Committee, it seems highly unlikely they will send Minnesota to Fargo.

Yeah, we protected the lead very well once we got it. The third period ... especially the last ten minutes, we were airtight. My point is there was puck luck that got us to that point.

They will put all six in the West Regional.

Two goals in 16 seconds. Wow.

That was the least dominating 3 to 0 .... Oops 3 to 1 .... Win I have seen all year. Hope we didn't use all our puck luck tonight. Or maybe the hockey gods realized we got the shaft last weekend and smiled upon us. Either way I will take it. Now, anything less than a sweep is unexceptable.

You must be psychic too.

It's no coincidence that Andy Murray loses his cool and then his team loses it a few seconds later.

St Cloud draws first blood. Lotta empty seats at the Concrete Center.

UNO vs SCSU is on Comcast twin cities ... Channel 999

Some filthy good mitts from Caggiula!

I want to take Zane's lucky rabbits foot with me to Vegas.

I can think of 1.1 billion reasons the Big Ten took in Johns Hopkins. http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/johns-hopkins-again-tops-in-university-research-spending/2013/12/09/6bc681ca-60eb-11e3-bf45-61f69f54fc5f_story.html

Not taking Stafford long to get settled in Winnipeg. Goal in regulation, then the GWG in the shootout. * Tyler Myers named the game's #1 star. Sorry Central Division, the playoff race just got a little more crowded.

Thank you. I should have added an emoticon.

Most years I would agree. But not this year. The reason is the composition of the NCAA Mens Ice Hockey Committee: http://www.uscho.com/ncaa/mens-division-i-ncaa-tournament/ Minnesota and North Dakota are represented. And I am 100% sure Minnesota would rather be anywhere but Fargo. Put 2+2 together and I would wager two pints that Minnesota goes somewhere else. This is all moot since Wisconsin will get the Big Easy's Ten's autobid by winning the conference tournament.

If there's any justice in this world, Parks' goal will be the GWG.

It really sucks that Montgomery's dad died. Here's hoping for another memorable series.
