NCHC Frozen Faceoff Preview: UND vs. St. Cloud State Discuss. Dave

Looks like I got seven out of ten correct again, with all three of the players I missed on (Ciampini, McIntyre, and Wydo) listed among my six honorable mention spots. Can't feel too badly about that. I'm not surprised that McIntyre is in. Just can't believe he's the only goalie among the top ten. Has to make him a lock for the Mike Richter Award. Dave

Since this thread has turned to a discussion about the Hobey Baker Memorial Award (and more specifically, about Zane McIntyre's chances of being among the top ten finalists), I thought I'd weigh in. This is my best shot at predicting which players will make the Hobey Top Ten, along with stats, features, and notes on each one. Does Zane get the Berger jinx or the Berger snub? Find out here: link Discuss. Dave

Here's my best shot at predicting the ten finalists for the 2014-15 Hobey Baker Memorial Award, along with six deserving honorable mentions. Does Zane McIntyre make my top ten? Find out here. The finalists will be announced on Thursday, March 19th. Make sure to check back and see how I did! Discuss. Dave

So glad you were there and that you paid attention. Yes, with three more victories, this year's seniors would become the tenth recruiting class in a row to win 100 games. And the juniors have already collected 71 wins. That's astounding. Dave

Nope, the Horns are playing in Cavalier (I'm headed there right after the event). And we usually run some combination of queso, meatballs, and spinach dip, but you'll have to make it over there to be sure. Dave

A quote from my article: North Dakota will honor Connor Gaarder, Mark MacMillan, Nick Mattson, Brendan O'Donnell, Andrew Panzerella, Michael Parks, and Stephane Pattyn during Saturday’s Senior Night celebration. The 2015 senior class has amassed a combined record of 95-46-16 (.656) with three straight trips to the NCAA tournament. By comparison, the winningest class under Dave Hakstol was the 2011 class (forwards Matt Frattin, Evan Trupp, Brad Malone, and Brent Davidson and defensemen Chay Genoway, Jake Marto, and Derrick LaPoint), who went 109-48-16 (.676) during their time at UND. Beginning with the incoming freshman class of 2002, every four-year player to wear the Green and White has collected 100 career victories. This year's group needs five more wins to reach that milestone, and it starts this weekend. Dave

UND has already blocked 15 shots tonight; Western has blocked 4.

Shots on goal after two periods: Western Michigan 22, North Dakota 13 Zane with 22 big saves.

Kessel going for boarding MacMillan. This one is only two minutes.

MacMillan's 99th career point at UND. Soon to become the 85th member of North Dakota's Century Club.

Goal Parks!! (from MacMillan and Jordan Schmaltz)

Still unclear. Usually what elevates twos into tens is something said to the referee...

McIntyre loses his stick. Drink.

And that major penalty goes by the boards. Still 0-0, 13:40 remaining in the second period.
