Yes. Plus, if UND loses, I would rather lose to Michigan than Denver. I would also rather have Michigan get 10 titles than DU getting 11 (lesser of 2 evils).

I agree about Livanavage. I'm not a big fan of Ty Hanson of UMD, and I suspect the only reason he is on the list is because of points. He's not that good defensively (his drop pass in the Michigan game is a good example) and I would take at least 3 UND defensemen before him (Livanavage, Wiebe, Emery and arguably Verhoeff), but certainly Livanavage. Reschny should also be on the all-rookie team.

No we hate them because they play dirty, historically have injured our players, and their fan base is the worst

KV will come back stronger this season. He still played 13 minutes. I thought Livanavage and Zmolek made a few turnovers/mistakes as well, probably because they play so many minutes. I think people are less forgiving of KV because the expectations are so high, but he is still very good. Strathmann and Laurila played the least minutes, but both looked very good.

It was early in the year, but Merrimack beat Quinnipiac 4-1. Maybe they are better than you think?

Thanks for sharing Debbie Downer

Wow did they need that one

Shots are 11-11. The graphic on ESPN was incorrect

Absolutely. I have had similar experiences with UMD fans at the old arena in Duluth and at the Final 5 and Frozen Faceoff tournaments. A few times I had minor children with me and they still swore at us.

Plus the Wings are historically much better than the Wild. The Wings have the 3rd most Stanley Cup championships and the North Stars/Wild have none.

Yoda? 🙂

Don't rule out Mankato. The game against St. Thomas is a home game for Mankato.

You and .357 can keep agreeing with each other on the worst take I have heard all year. Keaton Verhoeff had a bad game, but is top 4 on any college hockey team in the country and for many games this year, was UND's best defenseman. Any college coach in the country would gladly take him and put him in the top 4. He is a phenomenal hockey player and UND is very lucky to have him. I hope he plays in all situations in the regional because I am extremely confident with him out there.

Kind of like putting a raw 17 year old Jonathan Toews out on the big stage? 😲You really just stop because you don't know what you are talking about.

Just stop. Verhoeff is top 4 on any team in the country. He had a subpar game, but Liv was worse and was directly responsible for the 1st 2 goals and no one is saying to drop him from the top 4 nor should they.
