Seems like these potential "season-ending" games are always close for UND, regardless of who the opponent is. I remember sitting through quite a few tight MTU playoff series back in the day when it seemed Tech was always the first round opponent.

I agree with Go Redskins that Omaha has certainly dropped off a bit here in the last few weeks/month. Only winning 2 games in 6 games against CC, SCSU, and WMU is hardly confidence-inspiring heading into the playoffs. Their win against UND even required a 5x3 PP in OT at home to finish it off. If they don't win their series against SCSU, I would predict an early exit from the NCAA's for UNO...even if they do still retain a #1 or high #2 seed.

With only 4 sec left in the 2nd period... Those ones sting.

Another senior! Gaarder!! 3-0 UND

Mattson continues his hot streak! 2-0 UND

I think Luke Johnson has a hole in his blade.

End of 1st, 1-0 UND

I enjoy a Gopher loss as much as the next Sioux fan, but I could care less what the Gophers do as long as the Sioux keep winning.

It was expected, but still sucks to hear. Ends his career one point shy of the Century Club. Thank you for a great career here at UND, Mark.

Anyone else see this: http://www.buckys5thquarter.com/2015/3/12/8203745/mike-eaves-writes-apology-letter-to-wisconsin-hockey-fans Mike Eaves wrote an apology letter to the UW fanbase for their disastrous season. Ouch.

That's from Schloss' blog

Is Caggiula injured too?

Got mine too! FedEx delivery! First time in 3 years that the tickets have actually arrived to me. I like it.

I am really hoping for a win tonight. Then anything tomorrow is just gravy. A loss tonight really puts the pressure on for tomorrow night...and it's their Senior Night tomorrow, so they'll be digging deep. Go Sioux!

There's a reason why INCH no longer exists.

And it's not even like I think this year's team is head-and-shoulders above other teams. Sure, they are currently ranked #1 in polls/PWR, but this is a year where the national tourney could be very wide open. I was looking at the Bracketology and there are quite a few #2-4 teams that I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if they took home the trophy at the end of the year. Michigan & UMass Lowell (technically #16 right now, which would be out, but ya know) as #4 seeds? BC and UMN as #3 seeds? UNO, BU, DU as #2 seeds? Could be any of those teams or others. Could be the type of tourney that a hard-working team like UND manages to win four games in a row...maybe similar to 97?

I haven't received mine either. The last 2 years (1st year of Final Faceoff and last year of F5), my tickets never arrived to me (maybe they don't ship to AZ?). So both times I had to get new tickets printed and pick them up at the arena. Very strange, I hope I get mine this year!

I literally laughed out loud twice reading that article. He's from Boston, what do you expect? He's probably never even watched UND this season, and yet he's digging into random stats to attempt to back up an argument that doesn't need arguing. Stats don't win games. As was mentioned earlier, this is not a team that blows other teams out. They just find a way to win games, plain and simple. So using the argument that they play a lot of 1 goal games is irrelevant...they still won those games.

Why beat around the bush if he is indeed out for the season. Just say "out for season" like they eventually did with Grimaldi. Or like Genoway. There must be a chance, however small it might be, that he makes it back by regionals or F4 if the Sioux make it that far.

Haha. Oops. I was thinking of the line from Back to the Future: You're my density.

I think that was around the time that Miami was going to be a destiny in college hockey, IIRC.

There seems to be a few Miami fans here that are quite confident after the Pioneers took them out to the woodshed on Saturday night. 6-2 final with the sog being 47-21? Yep, that certainly inspires confidence.

No doubt. He really is playing his best hockey of his career in the second half here. Same could be said for O'Donnell.
