What is the allotment that would have been given to UMD to sell? It amazes me that they couldn't sell out to legitimate UMD fans instead of all you "fake" UMD fans. It's not like it's a far journey for them to make the trip.

Spotted another sweet dive re-watching the highlights. This time Raskob #15. Watch at 4:15 during the scrum. He's on the ice then gets up a huge fury, initially almost pounces on his own guy. Simo sticks an arm out to keep him off and Raskob hits the ice like he's been shot as well. Then immediately looks at the official and spreads his arms looking for the call while laying on the ice. What the heck Bullpups? And then a couple seconds later, he sits up after realizing he won't get the call and he takes a punch at Ausmus' leg. Of which Gage doesn't even acknowledge.

I think they only really have a handful of diehard fans...the same ones that post on forums, Twitter, etc. They're the vocal ones that call out other fanbases, but then are also the first ones to cry about UND if any of that crap gets sent back their way. I saw their comments on Twitter about how UND fans were complaining about UMD playing "hard-nosed hockey" this weekend (and wanting a suspension for Pionk)...and them saying how that was hypocritical when UND has been known for playing that style for years. But it was more the diving and flopping that got to me...UND has never played that cheap game. That replay of Simonson and Osterberg getting into it is hilarious (where Simonson got the penalty). Osterberg kept pushing, pushing, pushing...then Simo hit him once back and he flopped like he'd be shot from the rafters, complete with the head snap back and all. Geez man. This isn't soccer, man up and play the game.

Yeah, they are both built for this to be their big year with a chance for the title. Similar to us last year, or the Frattin senior year, etc. UND has taken a few of those teams out recently as well...remember a couple years ago when UND took out UW with their last loaded team in the 1st round, then beat I believe FSU in OT to reach the F4. That was UW's big chance to win another title.

Rank order of teams I want to see win the 2017 national title: 1 - North Dakota -- easy decision 2 - Western Michigan -- keep it in the NCHC 3 - Michigan Tech -- old WCHA foe back to prominence 4 - Air Force 5 - Harvard 6 - UMass Lowell 7 - Union 8 - Providence 9 - Cornell 10 - Ohio State 11 - Notre Dame 12 - Penn State 13 - Boston U -- Eichel year loss still hurts, would love to end their season after all their hype 14 - Duluth -- last weekend made them even more hated, don't want the flopping hacks to win 15 - Denver -- don't want them to tie us in titles 16 - Minnesota -- don't want them to close the gap in titles

If Clarkson can win the title...UND WH sure should be able to as well.

The dives and flopping got to me. Osterberg and Tonninato were particularly bad. Those are both skilled players...to resort to having to flop around to get penalties like that is pretty pathetic.

From the Herald article: Nicely done Berry. No comments on the opposing bench.

Like the SCSU WCHA Playoff Champs OT win over UND all those years ago. This one is just tainted for a different reason.

Good news for UND is that if UMD gets sent to Fargo and they meet in Regional final...East refs aren't going to let that crap slide.

This UND team just does not match up well with UMD.

Does BC need the autobid to make the tourney?

3-1 DU with 5min left. That might be all she wrote.

Any chance at all that WMU goes to Fargo if they get a 1 seed? Or is it for sure DU/UMD? I'd much rather play WMU.

Now 2-1 DU.... WMU doesn't want the third NCHC 1 seed?

Appears that they got your message. Tied 1-1 and WMU outshooting DU 9-2 this period.

Wasn't it two or three years ago when UND won the 3rd place game over WMU and that's what made it possible for them to make the NCAA tourney?

1-0 DU after one

I'd gladly take a loss tonight if it meant a reversal of that result next weekend.

Same seats this year? We weren't able to make the trip this year, but sold our tickets to some Sioux fans!

Flights would be cheap, but it might be hard to find good tickets for a fair price for the tourney.

Pogo and Gersich next year could be very fun to watch.

Always amazes me to see the crowd at the B10 tourney. So pathetic. Speaking of pathetic, thanks for the help today MSU and UM.

Nice congrats Tucker!
