If only the weekends had been reversed and UND had had time to watch the Mercyhurst game plan for defeating the giant that is Canisius College...

R-E-L-A-X, Oxbow6. All UND likely needs to do is go 6-0 against DU, UMD, and St Cloud State and they’re right back in the NCAA playoff picture!

Would be nice to see an era-appropriate banner up there for 1959 as opposed to continuing to pretend that the Brien logo existed then.

The good news is that NoDak is still 27 spots above Canisius College...

...and they blew it, losing 3-2 in OT.

Yep, I was at that game with my buddies @BarnWinterSportsEngelstad and @Old Fella

Next weekend’s opponent is currently leading Denver...

I’m old enough to remember fans screaming for Thome to replace Cam Johnson in between the pipes...

Wrong.

OT at home two nights in a row against the worst team in the league... #process

If only they could drum up another “most complete game of the season” like last Saturday...

People are gonna say mean things...

Mercyhurst 6-3 final over Canisius College. For those keeping score at home, that’s a dozen goals on the weekend for the Lakers.

According to Ice Arena Man’s scientific formula, Canisius slips to a 3 seed in the NCAA’s with a loss...

Could be an enlarged prostate...

I have to rewind the tape to know for certain, but it appeared to me that not only did Wilkie celebrate with a jersey pop, I think he was wearing mismatched socks too!

Neither of those teams can hold a candle to Mercyhurst though...

So you’re sayin’ there’s a chance on the black jerseys tonight being worn by the HOME team instead of the visitors, eh?

If Wilkie transferred to UND from Minnesota, scored a goal at Mariucci, er, 3M Arena, then proceeded to do a strip tease at center ice to celebrate it, SiouxSports would laugh its collective a** off at him showing up the Gopher team and fans. But when it’s against North Dakota in Grand Forks, it’s, “HOW DARE HE DISRESPECT US LIKE THAT!”

OUT: whining about puck arrangement in the shape of an ‘L’ by ice arena staff at Canisius College. IN: whining about a former benchwarmer popping his jersey after scoring a goal against his old team.

Never left a game early in my life, Grampa! Now tell me some more knee-slappers while we watch “Hee-Haw.”

Don’t forget your pre-game nap before tonight’s game...wouldn’t want you dozing off late in the 3rd period.

NDSU fans: “We just won our 7th title in 8 seasons!” UND fans: “YOU GUYS THINK YOU’RE ALABAMA!” I have plenty of NDSU fan friends and family...I don’t know a single one who thinks the Bison would come within 4 touchdowns of Alabama. They all just enjoy being an FCS bigshot with a chance to beat a decent FBS team. None would claim that the team could hang with Alabama, as much as we like to whine about it...

The Christmas Tree wasn’t literally lit up last night. Canisius College, however, was.
