Always good hockey, typical of a pair of lunch-pail squads. Each seem to bring out the best in one another. 3-1 Duhloot Friday 2-0 UND Saturday

Very early to talk NCAA a Bracketology but it’s five weeks away. how interesting is this if seeds play out now: Minnesota vs UND in a Loveland with Denver as well. ???

Rumors - leaves about 40/45 minutes before the game. $5 or think per person but you get a free drink voucher postgame

Amen I say, Judd is the only fuse that wasn’t lit tonight - maybe tomorrow. Sweep ‘em, boys!

Friday: 2-2 tie, Clown gets the extra pt Saturday: 3-2 UND let’s score some goals!

Live look in at St. Cloud’s last practice before heading to Grand Forks…

With about six weeks to go it now becomes a race for home ice at this point. The Penrose seems like a mirage even though UND is only three points away. Denver and UND are heading in two opposite directions. #3,4,5 seems to be our likely landing spot. The first half of the season was impressive but considering sweeps over Miami and CC (albeit both on the road), we had to figure tougher tests were coming. The boys were 4-2 vs everyone else in the league. Game plan: Get healthy, play smarter, stick with Hellsten, adjust to life without Jake for a while, and return to playing Sioux Hockey. Get to NCAAs and see what this team is made of.

DU has been on fire since they were swept in GF.

Anyone else craving Pizza Hut?

The Cog Rail is fun but I wouldn’t recommend it the day you fly in. It can kick your @$$. reservations often needed weeks in advance, not sure if they has changed with re-opened enhancements this summer. I went there one July and it was like winter in the summit so plan accordingly. The Golden Bee (piano bar/pub food/fun vibe) is a place to check out just to cross it off the list. It’s in the Broadmoor Hotel complex. If that doesn’t do it for you, I guess you could check out the spicy hot dog place near Robson/Campus that Schloss is always raving about.

Unreal, surreal scene last night. Mardi Gras meets St Patty’s Day. Great time to be a fan of North Dakota Hockey

Hey all, the Nashville scene has me seeing green. I am looking to get a jump on Christmas presents and my daughter would like a Sioux jersey from the days when she first became a fan. if anyone had this style of jersey below (white), preferably adult medium I would like to take it off your hands. Replica is fine, and used with minor wear and tear is not an issue. Hoping to find someone looking to thin-out their collection. Please PM if you can help me out .

I will be in attendance tonight . The lineups will be interesting as league standings are locked for these two. Dare I ask, but can UND afford to lose this one? I know that is not the mentality permeating through the locker room on Senior Night, but with hosting the NCHC Tournament followed by NCAAs you don’t want losses obviously. I think back to the 2011 team (still the one that stings the most for me) who didn’t lose for something like two months...until they did. Omaha could use this quality win against #1 to state their case for NCAAs - two wins over UND would look nice even though North Dakota had dominated them in the standings. Speaking of Senior Night, will the boys break out the black jerseys at home?

What say you, Sioux Fanatic?

I absolutely LOVE listening to hockey on the radio. TH is terrific as always and heck, I can even tolerate Wally Shaver call a Gopher game. Right now, winding down the work week with some BU hockey and Bernie Corbett. Close your eyes and you can almost taste the clam chowdah.

yes, standard rule that they adhere to annually - no guarantees anything is normal this year and no one on the committee has gone so far as to say that conferences won't meet in the first round.

College Hockey News Top 16 remains relatively unchanged - no love for Army despite their hot streak. But I get it, i wouldn't put two teams in the field from that conference. Here is this week's projection - based on the bus vs. plane mentality that the NCAA seems to really be standing behind, likely resulting in some west teams staying west and east teams staying east. Conference matchups are often avoided but that may not be feasible this year as bracket integrity also needs to factor in. Expect some hot takes on March 20th. Midwest (Fargo) North Dakota (1) vs. American International / St. Cloud St. vs. Minnesota-Duluth West (Loveland) Minnesota (2) vs. Clarkson / Michigan vs. Omaha Northeast (Albany) Minnesota St. (4) vs. Bowling Green / Wisconsin vs. UMass East (Bridgeport) Boston College (3) vs. UConn / Boston vs. Quinnipiac

YUHP.

Not sure, guessing Spring Break/No Students plus maybe someone considered them 'non-essential'? That, or 'In Heaven There is No Beer' is hostile and abusive.

Also heard no band at Frozen Faceoff (or cheer teams for that matter). Not a deal breaker but they add a ton of atmosphere to a building that is fairly empty. Thinking back to old WCHA Final Five - Michigan Tech's band was entertaining as hell. Even though their team rarely played those weekends!

At Noon CT today it appears that 8 lower bowl tickets remain (4 packages of 2) for the Frozen Faceoff. Upper Deck ($199 per seat for package) still has a few hundred seats remaining.

Central up 7-1 on GPR in 2nd Davies-Sheyenne 0-0 after one- good atmosphere, solid student crowd at Scheels for this one. Winner has inside track on state berth.

USCHO.com weekly podcast today had NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Committee Chair Mike Kemp on for an interview today. *NCAA Hockey regional sites and dates remain as scheduled - Pittsburgh still hosting Frozen Four *Hopeful fans are allowed - up to 25% capacity (local jurisdictions my cause adjustments) - this includes Pittsburgh Frozen Four (that would be about 4,500 to 5,000 fans) *4th Regional site will be named soon, within "days" - will remain out east *Selection criteria/ specifics to be shared within "days" *If possible, bussing to locales for Regionals will be ideal but not required. Mentioned that Loveland Regional (especially with DU, CC, Air Force not looking good for auto-bid) will require flights for all who participate there. *One team per conference will get auto-bid (either reg. season champ or tournament champ - that is up to each conference)

Tickets flyin' off the shelf (well, relatively speaking) as season ticket holders/Champions Club has first crack at it. Sections 110, 111 are blocked off as are 301 and 315 (as they have been for regular season games) Fargo Regionals are a staple for me when UND hosts and since this year looks doubtful (for fans, anyway), this refurbished Frozen Faceoff is going to be a March highlight - I'm hoping to get to all the games.

New College Hockey News Power 16 Rankings https://www.collegehockeynews.com/ratings/power16.php Forecast for Regionals: Midwest: North Dakota (1) vs. American Int'l / Michigan (6) vs. Minnesota-Duluth West: Minnesota (2) vs. Clarkson / St. Cloud State (7) vs. Quinnipiac N'East: Boston College (3) vs. Bowling Green / Boston (8) vs. Omaha East: Wisconsin (4) vs. UConn / Minnesota St. (5) vs. UMass Still waiting for more from NCAA re: Worchester replacement - have to think the delay strongly suggests a change to regional sites or sending all 16 to Pittsburgh. The Penguins are on the road March 29-April 11.
