Their big line was split up to start the game but was back together for the last two periods from what I saw in the DU Sat game. I think it was just a short-lived experiment. I'd fully expect them to be back together for our series, especially with UMD having last change. Gajan kept it close against DU...hopefully UND can get a few more past his sub this weekend.

This will be crucial for us this weekend. When we played UMD at home, we succeeded one night (and won) and didn't the other night (and lost). Plus UMD will have last line change so you know they'll be putting the Plante line out there every other shift to try to get matchups. The PK needs to be better for us, for sure. Our PK was doing great there for awhile and now has struggled a bit over the last few weekends. Need to cover that bumper spot better. ASU used it a couple times with success against us, and UMD puts the better Plante there (he also scored against us on the PP from that position earlier this year).

Including Powers, about UND, earlier in the week during the ASU behind the scenes segment.

Yeah I'd be pretty dang ticked if UND lost in OT with that uncalled pick.

Total pick at the blue line.

Did Cleveland from UMD just check himself face first into the boards?

Gajan is playing well. Glad we won't have to face him next weekend.

Looks like Sandy split up the UMD big line tonight...don't remember that happening this year yet. Plante's are still together, but Shaugs is on the 2nd line.

CC outshot ASU 25-6 in that first period. And yet those darn ASU fans will still get mad at Smaby calling them soft.

Nice, good to have a little cushion, especially before heading to WMU on that last weekend. Nice to hang all the banners that you can. Plus with the added benefit this year of getting home ice for the entire NCHC playoffs then.

Please please please! Cmon UNO, I won't call you USports U for the rest of the year if you can pull this off!

Would have been nice to see OSU beat Michigan in OT as well.

Yep. And they can’t accept that he’s speaking the truth. ASU plays soft. And their coach is soft and whines. Keep extending him and it keeps ASU where they are now.

Tough ask for any team but we’ll see how they do. Would be tough even for WMU and their god-like coach.

They need to go 8-0 in those games?

Woah wonder what happened here. He was always a good player in his Miami days.

Three horse race for 1st place in the NCHC. After Friday night, UND now 5pts up on DU, but DU has played one more game. 7pts up on WMU, but WMU has played one less game. Would love to see UNO steal some points from WMU tomorrow, but that's doubtful. WMU's win tonight moved them into #3 in the NPI as well and pushed UND to #4. The 3rd and 4th spots are really tight. Decent jump up to #2 and down to #5.

The diving team will be out in full force.

Looks like OMac got demoted to extra skater.

OSU up 4-3 toward end of 2nd

MSU up 4-1 on PSU Mich and OSU tied at 3

PuckPreps article on Thoreson: https://puckpreps.com/beck-thoreson-commits-to-north-dakota/ Laurila played a part in the recruiting and Thoreson compares his game to a mix of Sanderson and Kleven.

Penalty fest for both teams.

MSU already up 3-0 on PSU in the 1st.

Really hoping that Latkoczy can play out of his mind and get UNO some points from WMU. Doubt it will happen, but we can hope. The bottom 5 of the NCHC is really tight. Playoff seedings might be a complete mystery until that last weekend is done.
