1-0 UMN over UW at end of 1st

Love seeing Thome's reaction. Skates immediately out to meet Scheel. Also...you can't see it well, but that puck has some serious velocity out of the net...makes it all the way out to center ice before the players even get across the ice to celebrate. Wowzers.

Even though they have a worse record, they’re a better team than UNO as well.

Right?

So does that end DUs season or does the committee throw a curveball? I’m assuming it is down to either DU or UNO for one of the last spots.

This is setup perfectly for Gooch.

Dumb comment of the day goes to...

Or any goal really.

Now's the time when the big boys need to step up. Where's Pinto, Gooch, Adams?

He's done his part, he has a goal

This looks like one of those games where UND turns it on in the 3rd period when they're down by a couple goals, but they end up falling short.

Scheel with the breakaway save

UMi 2 UMN 0

Only if they want to win the NCHC tourney trophy for the first time.

That's what Schloss is implying too...not injured.

Same situation as DU...hard to advocate for a position as one of the best teams in the country when you're below .500.

My hope is that Budy and especially JBD would. Hard to say with Mismash now...would he even be in game shape if he is cleared to play? He's been out so long now.

Hain-Adams-Kawaguchi Gaber-Pinto-Caulfield Keane-Weatherby-Senden Blaisdell-Jamernik-Ness Kierstad-Frisch Kleven-Sanderson Moore-Bast Scheel extra skater Albrecht

I wouldn't even be opposed to them losing by more than one in the NCAA's.

Every healthy skater is in the lineup except Rieger.

No Mismash, JBD, or Budy tonight. Ouch.

Duluth's luck runs out in 1-goal playoff games.

Shorthanded DU squad. UND perhaps missing Mismash and JBD. Should be a good one.

UMD vs SCSU DU vs UND Let's kick some Pio butt!

UMD, as usual, squeaks it out in the playoffs. Their luck will run out. Hopefully this season.
