No…2 minute boarding call. 100%. Yes, “looked” cleaned and was a great hit but have to call a boarding call there. 5 min. penalty call was excessive and was bs, I’ll agree there. Regardless, what were the shots? Red River was the > team last night. They’re rolling, their skill, speed, puck movement, execution looked real good! Haven watched too much high school hockey this year, but people here said RR has had slow starts and that gets them in trouble. In state so far, look like they’re answering the bell there. Lastly, with Tim’s kid (Carson) injured, their depth looks solid. Carson is a good small/player. I wouldn’t even know he was out of the lineup the last 2 games while watching on tv. Think the two best teams are in the final tonight So that’s good to see!

So can someone quickly type up the bracket/teams for the quarterfinals. Thanks! Haven't followed too much Nodak hockey this year. Never mind - Bob Gillen has it updated on the website now.

Don't worry, EF will have more goals and "maybe" more points than Jake Sanderson. Who saw that coming? I realize JS has missed a boat load of games, but impressive. EF with 9 goal already for a D? That's a pretty good year, I don't care what your name is. Should add there's no lack of scoring by committee on this year's team. Looking at roster + stats. Pretty fun to look at.

Has Sended played a shift?

Forgot Budy too. I don’t care what people think of him, but if he was healthy he’d easily crack the top 12 for the line up. UND has faced a lot of adversity this season, no question. Have also shot themselves in the foot a lot too! Cornell series will haunt them when it’s all said and done.

UND just keep winning and have the freshman continue to improve in the second half here and week to week. St. Cloud isn’t a good hockey team imo. Up 3-0 after 1 against Denver and you collapse? Yikes.

Anyone have a link to the USA men’s games/schedule?

Bast will fit in just fine without Sanderson as the team takes on Omaha and then Colorado College. Ness (1st goal, about time...) should spark some confidence. Kunz foot speed is improving for the college game, it's a WIP. Need all the freshman to keep improving and pushing forward. Gaber, Ford, and Calder all had great weekends. Need more from Judd! Period Jammer, effort was there, had great foot speed going on Friday night. Sweden goalie back in net next weekend, split the goalies at this point if it makes sense. Ride the hot goalie.

Score first and lay an egg afterwards and make tons of mistakes on the PP. Night and day difference from being sharp yesterday and playing a fantastic first period to playing an average maybe below average period. Scoring first while not playing great, should have fed off the crowd and energy to get going. This is going to be an ugly night. I hope I am wrong!

Terrible cycle low play by Kleven on the wall that lead to St. Cloud getting the puck and sending their guy out of the box on a breakaway. UND making a lot of mistakes so far.

Most guys produced on the score sheet and will get going moving forward. Time for Judd and Kunz to get some points tomorrow.

Better keep the gas on in the 3rd. Win the period and win tomorrow. St. Cloud hasn’t been on the road in 2 months and this isn’t an olympic sheet at the ralph. Sweden goalie should have been in months ago. Like I complained about.

Pretty harsh on Kunz. Give him some time. Needs to develop foot speed for the college level, no different than what Chris VV had to develop to adjust/adapt to. Kunz protects the puck and uses his body well. Let him work on foot speed, stamina, and offense skills. Let’s see where he’s at next year at this time and onward.

Ride the Sweden goalie moving forward. Berry and coaching staff need to take things day by day. Also a split this weekend is a must. One goal on the whiteboard for the rest of the year “Make the NCAA tourney.”

Is UND the only team in the NCHC to have a super senior from last year not come back? Let’s start there with an issue and then + letting Rizzo, Morrow walk and go elsewhere.

Not a chance Cooley is choosing UND.

Goal for the year is/was to the make the tournament. Imo, that’s what success looks like for this team. TBD.

Ice has seemed terrible, no? Both teams have to experience it but puck is rolling, our guys are losing edges etc. It’s bad.

A successful season for this years off team is to make the natty and see what happens. Despite leading the NCHC now, Idk if that’ll happen. Fast forward 2-3 years from now and it’ll be sad with Pinto last year and Sanderson’s 2-year career that UND couldn’t compete in a frozen four.

Why did he decommit? What's the deal, wanted to be here this year?

TJ Oshie on the latest podcast episode of spittin' chiclets says he's regrets leaving UND after his junior year along with good friend Taylor Chorney. Oshie wished he would have came back for senior year and references Taylor would probably agree with him and we regret going pro. UND coaching staff, put this in your toolkit moving forward.

Former UND commit? Ethan was his first name no?

Or maybe have Cole Spicer get in his ear too. "He Logan, look, you'll probably play college hockey for 1-2 years max. "Do you want to try and actually compete for and potentially win a natty?" "Then you should probably seriously consider UND and give it a chance + have an open mind this weekend."

UMD has their WJ studs back + back in the lineup against the premiere series taking on Minnesota-State. Interesting…

@collegepucknews on Instagram. "Mel Pearson, hasn't beat Michigan Tech since he took the head coaching job at Michigan" The more you know...
