Ha! He'll be too full of Red Pepper to go looking at the grain elevators.

Thanks! Definitely looking forward to seeing some games again. Feels weird...I pretty much went to every single home game for about 8 years of my life...and now none for so long.

Guessing WMU will be looking for a bit of revenge after we took 5 of 6 from them in their barn. UND needs to play this series the same way they played that series and really try to limit their top line. They managed to shut them down in the previous series, and they'll need a similar effort if they want to take some points for the NCHC standings. I'm particularly looking forward to this series, as it'll be my first series that I'm able to attend at REA in over a decade! I'm bringing my son with (who's never even been to ND before)...it'll be a fun time for us!

UMN beats SCSU 2-1 in OT

Didn't look like it affected us too much. Still #16 after all of today's games. Providence tumbled pretty hard after their loss and tie against #57 Army and #49 UNH. Looks like they dropped 6 spots down to #20 in one weekend.

We’re happy because they were #23 just a couple weeks ago. #16 doesn’t do us any good (for now), but they appear to be trending in the right direction the last few games. And that should be reason for some optimism. Or not, whatever you want.

Now that'd be a nice pickup. Agreed that they're probably going the portal route again. I feel it'd be different if Hellsten had solidified his position already, then they might not feel as hesitant just bringing in Hedquist alone.

You should be ecstatic over this weekend's results. Only once (out of 12 chances) did UND give up a goal in the first 2min or the last 2min of the period. And they got it out of the way right away (1st period Friday). Concern? Sure, but only because there's still work to be done in the PWR (and the NCHC standings). But the team has had better results recently. Hopefully they turned a corner with the wins at WMU and can back that up with some more points this upcoming weekend.

Not bad movement this weekend considering UND essentially got swept.

You said it all!

And back above .500 finally! Hope we can keep it rolling next weekend.

Hopefully Frisch was just shaken up. Would be tough to lose him before next weekend big series.

Holy Cross

Glad for two wins, but they certainly didn't make them look easy against a team that they probably should have.

Yep, we could have had a few more PP chances. Did Owen hit 2 posts on that shift? Geez, kid can't buy a goal. He's playing great though. Just gotta keep it moving like that and he'll get one.

Time for our top line of Gaber/Blake/Owen to do something in the 3rd. Despite getting a ton of chances, they really don't have much to show for it this weekend. Time to change that in the 3rd to win the weekend. You know...if they want to keep their post season hopes alive.

... Did you need to finish that sentence?

Berry tells the goalies to let a few more in...gotta get the forwards confidence up.

Need to stick with it now.

NCHC offensive and defensive POTW?

Last night they were able to close it down to a one goal deficit before the 1st period intermission. Not tonight. This one is <feeling> like it won't go our way.
