Kernan with a goal and two primary's. He's on a heater.

Kernan has been so good tonight.

PSU was 5th in NPI before this weekend. Now they're #11 after getting swept by UW. Ouch.

MSU and UMN tied at 3 in the 3rd. Would love to see UMN steal a game here...would really help us out.

UW about to sweep PSU.

That was a good goal either way...off his skate but certainly not a kicking motion. These are the types of goals the "lower" lines need to score with a few skill guys out. Keep it rolling boys!

Spicer gets one.

Keep getting psyched, this team is good.

Is it is the same refs for WMU as last weekend? CC is suffering from the same issue that UND did...only penalties being called on the AWAY team.

That was my first thought as well. Hate to see the boys playoff aspirations hit a snag right away due to a stupid illness. Time to show the depth and take it to them.

Game one of the playoffs and he already jinxed it!!

I'd be ok with BC, BU, and UMN all missing the NCAA's.

For NPI purposes, still 55/45. UMN trailing MSU 2-0 in the 2nd. Doesn't look like UMN will be helping out UND much tonight.

That's like talking about a goalie shutout at the beginning of the 3rd period.

He sure did. That was before Berry was canned though.

I was thinking both Schultz come in this fall along with Simpson. Then one CHL stud and one SR forward to help balance the classes a bit more. We'll lose 4 SR forwards for sure, plus I'm guessing one portal departure.

From Myers: And yes, totally agree on the Rucks. Will be interesting to see what Bryn has cookin.

I'm guessing we wanted him still, but requested him to spend another year in juniors, which he could use to elevate his game. As someone mentioned previously...similar to the Spicer situation. I mean, if that final forward roster spot is between Pilgrim and Mathis Preston...who would we rather have?

He can settle for Frozen Four MVP.

Sorry, just posted the lists that had UND players on them for finalists. Agreed on COY and ROY. I think Liver gets DDOY. I bet they give DFOY to Gross.

Lots of players/coaches on the award finalists lists! Love that Liver is on both the offensive and defensive finalist lists.
