Agreed. And easier for the opposing teams to matchup against you when you've already played them 4-5 times earlier that season. Our game tonight certainly didn't go as we hoped, but other games are going our way at least.

That Prov OT loss moved them from 5 to 7 and UMD up to 6, DU up to 5.

Nice that'll help us out a bit. WMU and DU playing for the right to host UMD next Saturday.

Appears that UMD, DU, and WMU all brought their good defensive games into the semi-final matchups. WMU and DU tied at 0 with 10min left in the 3rd.

Verhoeff ended with a -4 Liver ended with a -3 Ouch. At least we crushed them in faceoffs, 38-22.

Maybe two.

Has to be Spoons but dang...5 goals allowed on 21 shots? Not his best effort either.

Bibby didn't have a single point all season? And now has 2pts in this game? Not a good effort tonight, boys.

Guess who we lost to in that NCHC semi-final game in 2016? UMD.

That'd be no good. Need his energy out there.

It would be fun to find that game thread here on SS.com and see if it was the same reactions from fans. Our #8 or their #8?

26-16 SOG UND Would've been nice to have one of those penalties called a major...could have turned the game for sure.

One game. We'll see how they look for the first NCAA game in a couple weeks. No reason at all to write them off because of one potential loss.

They really don't want to call a major on Duluth.

So at least we have a couple weeks to win one of those then.

That's game. QU gets swept by Clarkson in their series.

Clarkson up 4-3 on QU with 5min left in game. Clarkson already leads the series 1-0

Two members of Axis of Evil already golfing. Can’t complain about that.

Right? Last time Sandy split them up it lasted less than 10min. Ha.

Dang this team can’t catch a break with these illnesses. Hopefully they get that out of their system (literally) before NCAAs.

Man, I can’t recall of a bigger soph slump bust in the last decade looking at Boisvert’s season. Some were thinking he’d be a Hobey front runner with BUs talent and more offensive style. Three goals, with one being an ENG? If he had returned to UND, I’d have thought 25+ goals would be a reasonable expectation. Just crazy. I know he was injured for a bit, but that’s such a huge drop in production.

Think of this year as a learning curve. Next year hopefully they take some lessons on game times, ticket prices, etc.

That’s got to sting a bit, seeing your old team sitting high in the NPI while your new teams season is cut super short. And realizing that they might have been part of the problem with UND last season.

Dang did that team underwhelm all season. So talented but so young. And that ends the ncaa careers for Boisvert and Omac.
