Goalies/defense optional?

Mankato scored to go up 3-0, but Ryan saw a contact to the head penalty that went uncalled during the game. Refs reviewed it and called it a major, which took away the goal as well...keeping it 2-0. UND scored 2 goals on the major PP.

Looks like Omaha got Augie'd as well.

Ryan Ladouceur - 3 Mankato 2 That changed the entire game. They don't win without that challenge.

Congrats to Carter on his first UND goal. Big one.

While nice to have it tied now, they need to keep the damn foot on the gas the rest of the way. Somehow make up for playing like crap for 40min.

Ouch about Zmolek. Sucks he can’t ever play against his old team too. Three frosh and three soph D tonight against a big and experienced Mankato team. Certainly not ideal.

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-defenseman-bennett-zmolek-returns-to-mankato Ouch. Zmolek might already be out with injury? After one game? That's no good. His physical presence would be much needed against a big, heavy, and older MSUM team. Reading between the lines here, I wouldn't be surprised with Hobie and TJ each getting a start this weekend.

What the heck Miami. And it was at home too.

Ha, literally just linked that in the other thread. Great article for sure. Noticed that the article mentioned that he has a younger bro too that also plays hockey. Maybe in another few years...

Nice article on Swanson: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/how-mac-swanson-developed-into-an-elite-hockey-player Some pretty high praise from former UND players, coaches, and current teammates.

With this whole CHL/WHL/NCAA stuff going on currently...I wonder how many NCAA schools will be getting in touch with Landon Dupont? Kid is absolutely tearing it up in the WHL as a 15-yo dman.

I would be ok with Michigan not winning another title until 2038.

Ha, not even close. Certainly don’t own one and never have. Just providing the evidence that you requested.

I don't know if you have it in you, to be honest.

Luckily the search function on the forum makes it pretty easy. Reading thru a couple of them...it seems that many of the same points were being made by the same posters...it's just that they are saying "fire Hak" instead of "fire Berry".

Sorry to interrupt the coaching argument. Love the alternate angles on some of these goals...the Ralph sure kicks out some high quality replays. The slo-mo on Boisvert's goal is beautiful...you can just see the velocity and how nicely he picked that top corner. Emery already seems like he bleeds green, just super pumped with every goal & celebration (reminds me of how Parise used to celebrate goals with his enthusiasm).

Some good nuggets from the Providence game: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-will-go-a-full-calendar-year-without-losing-at-home-in-regulation Brett Hextall will be fun to have as a panelist...

We had to shut the Sioux Sports forums down for like a week during that time. It just got too out of control.

Sweetness! Either way, a new season is upon us. I'll remain optimistic that the team can hopefully piece it together at the end. A nice start to the year against a team that will be good this season in HEA. That'll help come PWR time. Now hopefully get a couple wins in Mankato next weekend...

I'm all for some wins to start coming in March/April. That said, my comment was just poking fun at the posters that were ready to march Berry out of town last weekend after an exhibition loss.

UNO outshot 54-18 but still win 2-1.

UMN and Omaha tied 1-1 in the 3rd. Goofs outshooting them 46-13. Not normally one to cheer for UNO...but go Mavs!
