Yeah looked like he breezed by him.

Within 2-3?

Surprised he didn’t grab his head on the ice.

Bit of a flop to sell that one too. Pretty standard for UMD.

Like Gardner did with UND with his scoring at the end of the season this year.

That’s game. 2-0 Umass ain’t scoring 2 to tie this up.

UND’s inept offense did better against UMD this year.

Geez 5 sog through 25min?

Score! Thumbs up. Go UMass for the title.

How many 5 min majors can they call in a NCAA semi-final game?

1-0 DU

Tossed. Only 6min in.

Schloss ends the controversy just like that.

Schloss commented on Twitter that Rizzo is "almost for sure" headed back to Penticton next year. And that he'd have more info on that soon.

This is where Berry needs to make the hard decisions and earn his keep to make this team better. Rizzo is more talented than a couple upperclassmen, so it would seem logical to cut an under-performing upperclassman to make room for Rizzo/Michaud to both come in.

Agreed. I wonder if this pushes Rizzo back (or anyone)? Someone posted that Berry had mentioned that Rizzo might go back for one more year of juniors after all his injuries.

Posted in other thread, oops... Nice! I was hoping we'd land him after he announced he was transferring. He'll instantly provide a boost at center, a position where we lost 2 seniors. Big get (for one year)! Should make the CC series more interesting. He would have been UND's top goal and point scorer this year.

I think next year's team takes a couple steps forward. One, because our offense/PP can't get any worse. Just not possible. Two, our incoming recruiting class is already more talented than our outgoing players. Three, the rest of the league (and outside of NCHC as well) is losing a ton of players to early departures. Already looking forward to next season. And I'm cheering for UMass at the Frozen Four. It'd be cool to see the title stay in the NCHC, but I really can't cheer for DU or UMD. Let is go East for one season before coming back West next year.

Nice to see these high end local prospects committing.

Man that team was talented.

Agreed. Does anyone else remember Trupp's freshman season exhibition game against Manitoba? When the Manitoba player had a breakaway and Trupp raced behind him, dove, and then lifted the stick and poked the puck away (all while in the air)? That play epitomized Trupp's entire career at UND and he showed it off in his very first game at REA. He showed that he was going to be a special player right then.

Freshman forward Gruden from Miami signed with Ottawa. Had a big 3 goals for Miami this year...must have prepared him for the NHL!
