UND needs to come out and jump on CC right away and not let them hang around for 2-3 periods like they did last year.

I'm going with UND in three. UND is very good, although they need to clean some stuff up from this last weekend and get as healthy as possible. The reason I think it takes three is that is how this senior class has rolled over their careers. Nothing has come easy and they usually at some point have their back against the wall and show their best at that point. that along with with beating a team 6 times in a row in a season no matter how bad they might be is a pretty daunting task.

and some of you thought the hawks would be fine. they haven't been since new years day and it is embarrassing with all the talent they have. the effort has rarely been there. they must think they have a switch like the kings or something.

blackhawks having troubles with oilers again. wild could be just two points back of them. what a disgrace.

if this team can't go on the road and get at least 1 point this weekend it doesn't deserve being the outright champ and number one seed. that being said, UND hasn't been swept on the road since November of 2011 at Minnesota. time to go win a big Cup.

although I remember trupp's freshman year he broke his arm or something late in the regular season and hak said there is a chance if they made it to denver he might play, but he didn't.

didn't think so.

I'm no doctor and don't even play one or sleep at a holiday inn express but how could you tear a meniscus by getting hit with a puck?

just imagine if every hockey team that didn't like the officiating did that. there would be no games completed.

no.

und wins in a shootout on fri night and loses for the first time on a sat night the next.

win it for mac will be the battle cry the rest of the year.

not out of the question that the wild pass both winnipeg and chi and play the blues in first round. chi has been on a downward spiral since new years day and just lost kane for the rest of the regular season.

yeah, but you can't lose two western teams two years in a row in the title game

und needs to find a way to beat this team in grand forks. if I recall they are 1-4-1 against the huskies the last three years up here.

I just hope neither of these games ends up in a stupid shootout as western seems to be pretty good in them and well und isn't.

why are the powers that be in college hockey so opposed to going 4 on 4 in OT?

that is by far the most asinine way to determine a "winner". how pathetic will it be if und misses out on winning the penrose because it can't win a frickin or for that matter even score a goal in a shootout? maybe und can petition to get out of a league that has these stupid shootouts.

really? it is the end of january and no trophies or post season tickets are being handed out this weekend as far as I know. talk about putting all your eggs in one basket.

how is it that miami and western mighigan play one game next weekend against each other and then come back and play one game against each the following weekend? why wouldn't they just play two in the same weekend?

winning the big 10 tournament shouldn't be too difficult after all there are really only two teams:minny and michigan. so they really would only have to beat one team along with a cupcake.

it may have been mentioned already, ifso sorry. but I did miss something or did the niagara coach not come out for the post game handshakes on sat night?

If they play like they did on sat they "should" go four for four, if they play like they did friday all bets can be off.

how come the US and Canada are always in the same bracket or group at the world juniors?

with the game being played in denver and our recent history with questionable officiating in magness, I would say und gets screwed again.
