End of 1st great period for UND 3-0 SOG 10-5 UND

Gaber!! SNIPE 3-0

Nice kill

Some sloppy passing leads to a UMD PP

Blake with a fantastic move there.

Almost another...

SOG 4-0 UND

Great pass from Gaber after UND had a blunder trying to get it out of the zone.

PERRON!! 2-0!

BLAKE!!! 1-0!

PP already.

Building would have blown up had Berg sniped that one.

Mine is showing UND/UMD pregame.

Dang. Bold call right there!

They said he started skating in practice this week and was participating in all drills, just wearing the no contact jersey. I would hope that means he's getting closer at least...

I'll add one. Keep Steeves in check. If they can control him the way that they controlled DU's top line, I like our chances.

As expected, no Johannes. Hopefully he's finally able to go next weekend.

Yeah the current brackets have us playing Cornell in the 1st round. This season, Cornell has swept UMD, beaten BU, beaten QU, and have only lost 4 games all season. I don't think that'd be an easy first round game at all.

It’s been talked about a lot on here and other message boards. But we can certainly rehash all those talking points all day if you like. UND has one title in the last 8 years. DU and UMD have two each. What prevented DU and UMD from having 3-4 titles each during that timeframe? They certainly had teams talented enough to do so, just like UND. What prevented other blue blood schools (like UMN, UM, UW, BC, and BU) from getting more titles (or any titles) during that timeframe? Many of those teams were stacked during the past 8 years, yet no titles?

Agreed...CC has as much trouble with DU as UND does with CC (this season at least).

We’ve always been behind. We’ve just been slowly battling our way back into that race for the last 75 years. I’m not worried about UND turning into NMU or LSSU. Maybe if the Ralph burned down and instead of rebuilding it, they just rebuilt The Old Barn instead.

The move to #3 overall got us Cornell instead of RIT in the 1st round with a potential 2nd round matchup of either UW or CC. I'd be ok with this bracket...there would be easier routes to the F4, but certainly harder ones as well. Providence, R.I. 1. Boston College 8. Quinnipiac 9. Minnesota 16.
