Looks like a ton of the schools are messed up for the collegiate kids. Unless Eichel, Hanifin, Werenski, etc all still play for the US U18/17 teams.

Just like last year, flying up from AZ with a couple friends. Should be a blast again!

That sounds great, but I would put money on his 3rd being a wraparound.

I was flipping back and forth between the UND/UNO and the UW/UMN games, and the difference in PK (and overall play as well) was crazy. Both UW and UMN were essentially just standing there on the PK...waiting for the other team to do anything.

That was a dominant OT by UND. I don't even think that UNO got it into UND's zone the entire OT session.

Awesome. Cool how UND didn't even need a 5x3 PP in OT to win it. UNO is a good team, but I think UND was the better team and outplayed them for good chunks in both games. Massa won't stay "hot" for every game, and with how many shots UNO gives up, that could come to bite them in a one-and-done tourney.

NCAA violations, like on the NCAA Football video games.

That was Denver against Maine.

That's one way to voice your displeasure with the stripes.

I don't think anything happens with Lucia for awhile though. UMN was just in the national title game last season. I don't get what's going on with them this year...they brought back a ton from that team...

I did. Pound Ortega so hard that he wishes that he would have stuck with curling. And then win the game too. By multiple goals. I want Blais to be throwing water bottles on the bench at least 3 times per period.

What if Mac hustles over there to try to clear the zone but a UNO player beats him to it and passes the puck to the now wide-open Ortega in front? Mac is the center...he's gotta cover that man, not go into the corner and leave Ortega to chill in front of Zane.

Rumpel and Wilcox both look like crap. No defense from either side. Even if UMN makes the NCAA's, I don't think they're going too far.

Now the pipes and lucky bounces are Hak's fault too? Geez, guy can't catch a break around here.

1. UND was 2 pipes and a couple of lucky bounces on Massa away from winning this game by 2-3 goals. IMO they came ready to play. 2. I highly doubt that Blais will win a national title in Omaha. He puts together some quality teams, but none have done well in the postseason. Plus, he'll be retiring soon.

Ortega is quickly becoming a hated, cheap player. First the dumb comments before the UND/UNO series at the REA, and now that cheap dive in OT. I can't believe that they gave them a 5x3 in OT. Statement game tomorrow. I want Ortega pounded into the ice and a 5-1 Sioux win.

I haven't spent enough time on the player profile pic pages to answer that question adequately.

I am betting that Stecher plays this weekend.

Is Ortega talking smack again before this series? Hopefully UND can shut him down again.

There's gotta be a joke in there somewhere...

Follow your own advice. What does the committed recruits thread have to do with the number of natty's that Hakstol has?

I saw that too. Sounds hypocritical.

Just started? It's more than halfway over! Playoffs start in less than 2 months!

You leave Swayze out of this!
