Watched the game this morning. Two things:
1. Don't want WMU on consecutive weekends at the Ralph. Chances of coming out of 4 straight healthy are not good.
2. No Shep and Walsh. Shep calls nothing which allows even more WMU hooking/holding/hits from behind. Walsh makes phantom calls that go against ND. The 3 on Gersich were total head scratchers. The last one on the ND PP on Gersich, wow. The WMU player lets go of his stick to make sure Gersich doesn't go down after having the stick in his skates. What was that called, "slashing"?. Not evern sure what the first two were but all the announcers could say on replay was, "it's in there somewhere".. This ND team does not play quite as physical as many before them, and the opponents are taking advantage of Shep not calling penalties. Saw it against UNO, now again against WMU.
Absolutely agree with your points in #2. The officiating this weekend was sub standard even for Shep/Walsh. And those calls on Gersich were all mysterious. If you can call that interference, then why look past all the clutching, slashing and tackling. Props to WMU for using their size and playing gritty, but there were several instances of completely ignored non-calls by the refs. Not the first time we've seen this, and it won't be the last.
As to playing WMU in REA four games straight, if that happens I hope the ice masters at REA keep that ice-sheet hard and fast. Speed is our advantage, we should use it.

Gophers beat by a team filled with players the goofers didn't ever consider recruiting. Priceless.
Well done Beavers.
Mavericks, you're on deck!

WM seems to have decent speed, good size and hustle, but they lack the skill to convert
WM is a big, slow team but they played really hard tonight after getting rocked by St. Cloud last week. The ice looked soft, and that makes it hard for us to come up with any breakouts. Being down top players kept us on our heels with mixed lines and Stecher out in the third. Gardner also sat a bit of the third, but was out there to win some faceoffs. Gritty road win, all in all. The team did what it took to win. Simo set up a great Gersich goal, and Brock sniped one when it counted. Six points on the road is a good weekend any time.
GO SIOUX!!

Yep. Just not a big game coach. Hasn't won a natty since 2000.

Boeser with 17 on year. 3 back of nation lead at 20..Nice grind out win. Nice work by cam again and the team D. Another shutout! This team is very good they don't give up goals. Just get through tommrow and get back 3/4 top skaters possibly for the home stretch. Team D is great.
Agreed. Team D was decent, with some great back checks, especially in the second. Wanted more offense tonight, but with the mixed lines it makes sense that the score was low and it took the sniper to put it away. 3 points in hand. Let's come back and get 3 more tomorrow night!
GO SIOUX!!!

Hope the Western Mich announcers leave the mic open between periods again. Always fun to listen in.

I don't know how many of us were actually on the cliff but as well as this team has done this year, there are some concerns. This was evident during the wisco loss and last night... Hard to not enjoy the ride...
It is hard not to enjoy the ride. Now turn to Friday night, on the road. Western is coming off a pair of trips to the woodshed in St. Cloud. They will be hungry.
I trust Bubs and his crew to get this team prepared and show up in Kalamazoo ready to play.
Go SIOUX!!!

I'm sure its about Cam.
I was assuming that too, but wanted to be sure.
Cam came into the game with the best netminder stats in the country. If he fights the puck one night (and clearly he had an off-night tonight) I think you have to get him back up on the horse tomorrow. Let him show why those pipes should be his.

Thompson should sit tomorrow. He's had some bad games before but not like this. Johnson also was very off. Give them both the night off.
On a positive note how much did Sanderson add tonight? He seemed to be a factor all night long and out worked every CC player to prime spots.
L Johnson's two goals weren't enough? Or are you talking about Cam?

I have a tough time believing that UND, or any team in this league, for that matter, ever thinks that 6 points are going to come easy.
One quality of this team that I've noticed throughout this season is the ability to come out hard and play with pace to start every game and even each individual period. While chemistry might not be at the top level right away in each, this team has rarely come out slowly at puck drop. Is this really concern to anyone?
Never mind. Forget I mentioned it.

Black bears go on a penalty parade in the last two minutes, give up the lead. Going to OT.
No score in OT. Goes in the books as a tie.

I think St. Cloud is the team to beat this year in the NCHC. Especially as we move into the grind of the late season and playoffs.
They are far better than UND in the faceoff circle which gives them an advantage in that we both like to possess the puck. As the season goes on 5 on 5 goals get tougher and tougher to come by. I feel our power play is starting to click but theirs is lights out. Our penalty kill is quite a bit better than theirs percentage wise but they take far less penalties than we do.
After one weekend I'm not willing to go up skywriting and spell out "UND's powerplay is lights out", but I was favorably impressed with the 50% tally for the weekend's power play efforts. That and you are spot on about our PK...we are committed on the kill and a shorty threat to boot, always a great combination. Faceoffs? Yeah. We need help there for sure.
Here's to keeping that 50% PP pace going through another weekend.

Keep the foot on the gas for the full 120 minutes and blow them out of the zamboni doors.
This is NOT the time to sit back and think you have six points in hand. Go get 'em!

So...as a mankato fan, I don't get to see much of the NCHC other than the series against UNO earlier this season. I'm just curious about the style of play that is being used right now in the WCHA, and I suspect college hockey in general. It's been bothering me all year, but the clutching, grabbing and interference was painful to watch this last weekend. The league has something like 15 1-1 ties this year.
I know a few years ago that it was a "poin of emphasis" to try to eliminate the obstruction/interference penalties, but it seems as bad if not worse than its ever been.
Is this a league by league thing or is it happening everywhere?
We took Don Adam to the NCHC, along with Mike Schmidt and Todd Anderson. We even take two Shep's part time, along with Timm Walsh.
That's all we're willing to do. :-)
You're on your own with Papa Shep.

That was a lot more fun to watch than last night.
At least Cags has some time to heal as UND plays CC and then Western Michigan.
IF...Caggs has a collarbone issue, that's 6 weeks. Hope he's not dealing with anything that serious. He's also the leading NCAA "games played" Senior and I'd like to see him keep that going.

UND is not a one line team. Omaha is. And they missed their tendy tonight, for sure. That diving is hard to watch...we'll have to keep an eye out for that when we travel to the cow palace.

Are we playing Omaha or the Gophers? Good lord, the diving is insane.
Where did Blais learn it? Playing for minny, of course.

Anybody else watching on NCHC.tv and seeing the picture quality particularly poor? It almost looks like it's the wrong aspect ratio, too.
Yeah, the NCHC feed is brutal. Somewhere is a digital camera filming a TV playing the Direc-TV feed and re-broadcasting. Lousy picture, and worse bandwidth.

Let's see how this team responds when they realize that they would have just ended their season if this were a NCAA regional.
I'm looking for some feet constantly moving tonight, and much better puck protection.
GO SIOUX!!!

This too. We looked lazy, or tired, or disjointed or any combination of the above for long stretches, which is NOT UND hockey. Hopefully it is a break adjustment that is now history.
Also agree with this. Our compete level was much lower than it was vs. Duluth or Denver. We were lacking jump for the better part of 54 minutes.

Tough night in the glove side by Cam. Two of those goals weren't exactly snipes to his glove side. Hopefully he and the rest of the team are sharper tomorrow night.
Totally agree. He needed to make both those saves.

A St. Cloud loss would have flipped us over them in the PWR, methinks.
