Except for the Money Line was already taken...and by a UND line at that. Bochenski (Bucks)/Parise/Murray was the Money Line a few years ago. Due to two reasons...one, they were money when it came to scoring goals...and two, because of Bochenski's issue of producing counterfeit $ a year or two before he arrived at UND.

Weird that all the "all-HEA frozen four" comments on NCAA Hockey facebook disappeared rather quickly once the tourney started. Good to see some other NCHC teams rooting for UND as well against QU to bring the title back West. From what I saw of QU...it seems like they are a 4th place or so finisher this year in the NCHC. And Duluth might have gotten by them too. The games I watched, it seemed like the top 3 teams in the nation were all in the NCHC, but one got upset in the 1st round, as seems to happen each year. UND: Went from "probably would finish 6th in the HEA" to dominant National Champs in two short weeks.

Exactly my thoughts as well.

Definitely agreed. Stecher is a beast. If he stays, regardless of who else goes...I like our chances.

This wouldn't surprise me. It also wouldn't surprise me if one or two of them stayed. And who knows, there's probably a surprise departure in there...maybe a Thompson/LJ/Pogs or something like that.

Dude. UND just won the national title. Let's enjoy it for a bit.

I love this team. I agree with the earlier comment...it's not going to take 16 years for the next one.

It's awesome to see this thread started in jubilation rather than disappointment or anger for the first time in 16 freakin years. That was insane. So awesome!

Maybe if their 1k fans can make more noise than UND's 8k?

Wow, there is some horrible defending in that video.

No doubt, it's been awhile for him. I thought it was coming last night on that 2 on 1 that he had, but he shot it directly into DU goalie's glove.

Haha, I was literally just typing that same thing. BC loses two the day after being eliminated. The Wood departure is a little odd...he had a good freshman season, but not outstanding by any stretch. Maybe he just wasn't into college. I'm really hoping that Boeser sees the light and stays another season even if UND can bring home the title.

Vesey from Harvard wins the Hobey.

I'd say regardless of tomorrow night's outcome, old threads like this will either be joyously closed out or angrily rehashed.

You do remember that Hakstol made it to the Championship game in his first season too, right? Should wait until after Saturday night to bring back old threads from the dead.

Holy crap, we made it to the Saturday game?!?! YES! Great game from DU in the 3rd, but Schmaltz denies them.

Six HEA teams enter the tourney. None survive.

BC picked it up a little at the end, but still no big grade A chances. 2-0 after one.

Anas reminds me of a Rau/Cepis type of whiny player. Just got leveled, so skates back and crosschecks a player in the back after the whistle.

I only understood every fourth word that York said.

No doubt. The 3rd and 4th were not good...type of saves you absolutely need your goalie to make at this time of year.

That's the place. Yeah, for sure, he'd get a kick out of that!

You live in Breckenridge? One of my best friends (GF native) just opened a cheese shop downtown there.

Yeah, not much sleep going to happen tonight. Go Sioux, let's do this.
