Two nice pickups for them. They lost a lot, so they need some good players to fill some lineup holes. That was quick.

This program certainly has had their share of issues getting over the hump in the NCAA play recently...but I don't think it has anything to do with some fans/alums still referring to the team as the "Sioux" instead of the "Hawks". Heck, the team already has one NCAA title win since the Sioux name was retired.

No B10 and no #10. That's a win-win. Now...go BC against DU. Ewww.

He was looking like a faster Michael Parks with that wraparound.

4-0

It's hard to win 26 games and win the conference title without being at least a bit good. We just sputtered out the last few months. Killed a season that showed so much promise.

That might be it 3-0 BC

There was the unlucky bounce against Michigan that UND never got. Went off both Mich dman skates.

Smith 2-0

Smith and Leonard are so dang skilled.

Looking at some numbers: 23/24 -- 151 goals, 243 assists -- 394 points 11 players departing for graduation, pros, or portal: - 67 goals, 103 assists -- 170 points 3 players incoming from portal (this year's numbers): + 20 goals, 35 assists -- 55 points 7-8 incoming freshmen -- numbers TBD, but expecting some to have substantial opportunities to contribute Judging portal pickup stats can be a crapshoot, but looking at this year's UND portal players...all except two had better stats this year compared to the previous year (Zmolek +1, Britt +2, Johannes -10, Pyke +6, Berg +13, Pehrson -3)...net improvement of +9 points compared to their old teams. = 104 goals (69%), 175 assists (72%) -- 279 points (71%) returning & incoming portal players

Dang already. 1-0 BC

We had way more skill than Michigan the Frattin year too in that semi-final game. Didn't matter unfortunately.

Yep. They're the least of the evils remaining.

Not the announcers, certainly.

Broz has really stepped up in the playoffs. His 2nd game winning goal this postseason. DU going for the title. BU didn't get a single PP all game, that's crazy. Some plays that def could have been called.

Could Devine slap his stick and call for the puck any more?

DU PP with one min left in regulation. Wow.

Celebrini post.

Monster save with the PP expiring.

Improvement!

Yeah, UND went 4-2 against these two teams this season. They certainly could have held their own...if they wouldn't have crapped the bed toward the end of the season.

DU ties it 1-1
