Doubt Tech is gonna score 2 goals against Fanti, who's going for his 3rd shutout in a row.

On it, thank you!

Does anyone happen to have a link to the MTU/UMD game?

Nice work coach. Now...the real question, who are on your PP units, and will they convert?

I've never seen a team get so much luck in the NCAA tourney. Even going back as far as their first NCAA title. They got lucky that the Frattin team dominated Mich but couldn't score...I have no doubt that the UND team would have beaten them for the title. Last year too with them getting a first round "bye" before playing a 5OT game.

"And make sure it's one of their best players that gets booted!"

I'm not surprised. It's gonna be a close game. UND has shown to have troubles with defensive teams and our best player and most dynamic offensive threat won't be playing. And our special teams aren't exactly clicking going into the tourney. I'd love to see a UND win, but I wouldn't be surprised if not.

Nice vid! Ha, I laughed twice in the opening 5 seconds...once at the MSUM player dive and the other with how he pronounced Bemidji.

They at the very least were out practicing today, so hopefully! Article said that Sanderson and Hain watched practice from the stands and Montgomery didn't even travel with the team to help with his recovery. So he's back in GF still. Wonder what's going on with him?

Lately it seems like there's been 1-2 one seeds losing in first game.

I would LOVE to see it happen though.

This doesn't make me optimistic.

Man, a UMass-Lowell pick for national champs. Wonder what the Vegas betting odds for that would be.

Glory days.

I bet Cates leaves too rather than return for his extra covid year. And you have to think the majority of their seniors will leave...Sandelin can't risk messing up his recruiting pipeline by having 6 of his seniors return. Olson might get some offers to leave rather return for his senior year. Even if Olson returns, they still will lose 4 of their top 6 scorers from this years team. If their seniors leave, they only return one goal scorer (Biondi) with more than 6 goals scored on the year.

Similar to "putting on the foil". Anything to get him on the ice this season still.

That's my two main recollections of that UNH game. Watching the 17OT lacrosse game waiting for the game to come on...and then Finley sailing that puck 10 feet over the glass instead of just clearing it out of the zone at the end of regulation.

I think you mean MTU.

Same here. That was a hard loss to take. Outshot them 40-20, and the game certainly looked like pure domination. The Trupp/Malone/Frattin line alone had as many SOG as the entire Michigan team. http://www.collegehockeystats.net/1011/boxes/mmicndk1.a07

Now watch Ottawa pushes him to sign right away and then he's in their lineup in the next couple weeks.

Awesome, thank you so much, as always! I actually have both Thursday and Saturday off this week, so that worked out well.

Mankato will be a tough out for sure (they have beaten some strong teams this year) but definitely the least battle tested of the four #1 seeds. They've scored the most goals in the NCAA this year, but they've also been able to play St Thomas six times, scoring almost 40 of their 167 goals against that one team alone. Have to get past Notre Dame first. Strong defensive teams have shown to give UND troubles before (UMD, BSU, etc), so hopefully they can score early and force the Golden Domers to open up a bit.
