If true, that's huge. Worth a bunch of goalie saves and scores, both.
Boeser and Pinto were both way up there in skill, but Sanderson is the biggest talent UND has had for a while, IMO.
It took a while for the college game to slow down for Guchi, and the NHL would be much more difficult. Love him, but don't see many games in the NHL for him. They don't have that kind of patience.
What happened with ND and Mich underscores how challenging this season must have been for the boys and the entire staff and how they met that challenge. To be college age and to successfully abide by Covid protocol for close to a year, including summer, is not an easy task. They don't get to play the games if they don't win that one first.
I don't have problem with a local journalist not seeming to side with the home team. He doesn't work for the University, so his professional obligation is to do his homework and report honestly. That doesn't make him a good journalist, but it suggests he's not an unethical one.
In this situation, adrenaline and will should take over where conditioning leaves off. If we have a second game and lose it, I hope people don't blame it on scheduling.
I mean, if we lose, we will know the refs screwed up.
Yeah, Minnie does not have an easy bracket.
At this point, why worry about who plays whom and when. You gotta beat the best to win gold, and there is no bronze or silver.
