And now he's back out there. Phew

Schmaltz on the bench but not playing after tweaking his knee. We DO NOT need more injuries.

Goal stands 1-1

Under review now

Tie game

CAULFIELD!! 1-0

This team needs to pull it out shorthanded, as usual this 2nd half.

I certainly wouldn't anticipate a blowout win by UND. WMU has the offensive threats for sure.

If anything, UMD has been more inconsistent than UND in the 2nd half of the season. UMD didn't win back-to-back regulation games once in the months of Dec, Jan, or Feb. Meanwhile, UND has won 12 of their last 14 games.

Ah didn't hear that. Basse from CC goes to UNO maybe?

What's that?

Pretty impressive performance by the UMD defense to hold the potent DU offense off the scoreboard thus far.

1-0 UMD after 2

That doesn't sound right. A UMD player diving?

Nice thank you!!

UMD up 1-0 Biondi

We can be a #1 seed regardless of what happens in this early game. UND just needs to win if it wants any chance at a #1 seed.

We can still be a #1 seed even if DU wins today. If DU & UND both win today, and UND beats DU tomorrow, I saw a calculation where UND ended #3 and DU ended #4 in PWR, so both #1 seeds and at separate regionals. UMich and MSUM were the other #1 seeds in that scenario.

My favorite sprig memory: I had never met sprig before. I believe it was the 1st or 2nd year that the Frozen Faceoff was at the Target Center. We had seats in the first row of the second level. Before the first game, we were sitting in our seats when a gentleman walked up to our seats and said "are you brianvf from the siouxsports message board?" Ha, that was a little surprising, he said he had recognized me from a pic posted earlier from a previous gathering. Turns out his seats were the same level, just one section over. So he ended up coming over before each game that year and we talked Sioux hockey. Such a friendly, personable guy that loved to talk UND hockey.

Will anyone have a link to the game tonight? Just noticed that they're not on NCHC.tv Even the UMD/DU game would be fun to watch if anyone has a link to that.

I think that beatdown is meant for the Broncos to deal to Michigan this season.

Yes please.

Kleven isn't injured (that I know of), but he has to sit out against WMU for a one-game suspension due to his CFB major at the end of Saturday's CC game. If UND wins against WMU, he can play in the championship game.

Really hope he sticks around for another year. Could see him getting some decent interest, for sure. Maybe they have an open relationship?
