Well, anytime you beat a powerhouse team like that, sometimes you just can't control your emotions.

These last couple weekends are gonna be crazy for seeding, things could move around a ton still. 2nd to 4th place all only separated by 3 points. 5th to 7th place all only separated by 3 points. I'm guessing math and tie-breakers will be involved. We won't play DU first round, but we could be traveling to any of those teams currently in 2-4...crossing my fingers for Omaha.

Pushes us back down to 6th place, trailing UMD by 2 points and only one point ahead of CC. Next weekend UMD plays last place Miami...we need to hope that Miami can steal some points and that we get as many points as possible in Colorado.

Yes, agreed. This team has shown that they are capable of playing with, and beating, any top team they've faced (except Denver). Teams that have steamrolled their competition this season like QU and MN (current #1 & #2 in PWR)...UND has beaten both (yeah, yeah..QU in shootout, whatever). Unfortunately, their huge lapses of bad games and bad losses means that even if they put together a run, it's going to be a very difficult path. -NCHC playoffs...they'll be on the road. You know it'll go 3 games. Hopefully UND can prevail. -IF they do...they'll get DU for the 1st game of the NCHC tourney with their season on the line. They'd have to get that elusive first win over them and still try to beat SCSU/WMU the next game to make it to the NCAA tourney. -IF they do that, their reward will be playing in Fargo with a home crowd...with their opponent very likely being top ranked UMN. Ouch ouch ouch.

Rizzo with 2 more goals for DU tonight. Kid is a beast...would have looked absolutely glorious in green & white.

31-13 final SOG? Geez, needed that win. Kunz was very noticeable tonight. Winning battles, getting chances, got the goal...

Huge for UMD in the NCHC standings...we're still chasing them now.

Looking at DU's roster, their leading scorers are nearly all SO/FR...unless they get some early departures, they're gonna be real good for the next 1-2 years as well.

They are just outworking SCSU right now. Need to get the W

Completely dominate a period and get outscored 1-0...heading to the 3rd down 2-1.

Bad call by the ref there.

Wow. Like 2-3 minutes of straight zone time. Wow.

Can't help you then, sorry!

If we follow the same script as last night, SCSU still needs one more goal to get 3 unanswered. That's the way UND likes to roll this year.

Just mute it and move on.

MafiaMan has two goals to add to his ledger now from this game alone.

We're doing our best to make sure Kranilla gets offensive PoTW. Geez.

It looked like he turned around to face DeRidder when the shot came thru and then the rebound bounced out behind him to the SCSU player.

End of 1st 1-1

Last minute of the period too.

That was easy. 1-1 Our PK sucks against SCSU

Let's see if the PK is any better than last night.

Nice power move to the net by James.

Miami getting a point or two or three would be appreciated.
