BU up 2-0

BU up 1-0

The Maine fans should start filing in I would think.

Dang was that wrap close to going in from Devine.

OT

UMass PP with 7min left

PP DU

I think we wanted them all, just different situations. Rizzo left us high & dry, he was fully expected to come in. Morrow has the crazy dad. Halliday flipped to OSU for whatever reason. And Miller was on the team with full support from Berry before the UND prez pulled the plug on that.

Yeah, crazy to think the number of high skilled players that could have come to UND recently though. Rizzo, Morrow, Halliday, even Miller. They all would have been on UND teams last year and this year.

UMass can't buy a call from these refs.

Matvick has called quite a few UND regionals. Probably the most memorable was the UND/Minn game when Porter scored the wraparound goal in OT.

Really going into hypothetical situations here. But for sure. Hakstol had some of the best NCAA tourney success in college hockey history, not just among UND coaches. He just couldn't win that last game. The number of F4 he went to in his tenure is absurd.

Dang first goal of the season. Hoping Pehrson can do that against his old team tomorrow too.

Tied!

I'd rather see UMass win, NCHC-pride be damned. Hate DU more. That said, DU looks like the better team. UMass needs to generate a bit more if they're gonna make DU nervous.

I feel like the doomsday scenario changes depending on the coach though. There were yearly threads calling for replacing Hakstol on here. There are yearly threads calling for replacing Berry on here. With Hakstol, everyone claimed he couldn't get the team over the last hump, despite leading them to countless F4. With Berry, everyone claims he can't get the team motivated to make a run in the NCAA tourney...and his first title was Hakstol's team. In truth, any coach is going to face a tough crowd here on ss.com, unless they win a title every 2-3 years.

DU up 1-0

That must have been such a cool moment. Cool to hear that Bubbs was there for that. A different path when compared to the 'screaming and throwing chairs' crowd, but you can tell that Bubbs really cares for these kids and vice versa.

Yep, and a nice D and G too.

It looks like a lot of different hockey Twitter accounts are sharing clips from it too, I've seen it pop up multiple times the last couple days. Very nice publicity!

UND travel journal is up: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-hockey-travel-journal-fighting-hawks-land-in-st-louis?fbclid=IwAR0k4h9r8s9OYDVjm0xIAWXKJCv8k8wSe9tddtCzs9bwTSRzrPKW7O6QFOw_aem_ASRBhxFd9mGWUmL81rwlxWCBV9aixml822HULqp21CEy4y8hLb0dK6BFjREMVLn1rrlV2PCgFouD5yBHsiHETAkW

Yeah could you imagine some young potential recruits watching this video series and then seeing all that stuff at the Ralph (the full recovery rooms with nap area??)...comparing it to the other college rinks that Chiclets has shown. Those other rinks are nice, for sure...but the Ralph absolutely blows them away. Not even close.

Yep. I'd also put the 2004 regional final loss to DU on there (in Colorado Springs). 1-0 on a late 3rd period goal from DU. UND outshot them 33-17 but just couldn't get one past Berkhoel. Ryan Hale hit the post less than a minute in and that set the tone. The year of the Parise/Murray/Bochenski big line (The Money Line). Parise turned pro a couple days later. I remember just turning off the TV and sitting in my living room in silence after that game.

Damn that would be a really hard F4 to watch. But honestly could happen.
