If the ref said it was a dive then why didn’t he call a diving penalty? Start calling all the dives and make the diving team have to kill a penalty, that’s the only way you will have any chance of eliminating it. Right now there is every incentive for coaches to encourage players to embellish as it almost never gets called as a standalone penalty. You either get a power play or matching minors. With the decrease in scoring over the years, power plays have a greater impact on the outcome of games, hence a greater incentive to try and “draw” penalties. While you’re at please start calling interference and pick plays. See too many of these go uncalled.

Couldn’t tell definitively from the camera views they showed. They must have had some of those double secret camera views that we aren’t allowed to see.

The way Reschny had to be helped off the ice isn’t good. Got a bad feeling he is done for the year, hopefully he can come back sometime this year. Time for payback in the third.

It almost looks like we’re trying to lose. Sloppy, undisciplined play.

Not sure UND will be able to play tomorrow, they have to be totally exhausted with the effort they gave tonight.

No energy, playing like crap.

My gut says the charges will get reduced to misdemeanors, he will get suspended by the team for a few games and that will be it.

Cebrian was offsides and set an illegal pick. Refs 0-2.

Can’t challenge it. You can challenge an offside where the player was an inch offside but did not factor in a goal being scored. You can’t challenge a pick that was instrumental in a game winning goal.

Yep

Two very substandard periods. Need this third period to be our best period of the weekend.

It’s been brutal. Very poor defensive play for most of the night and extremely frustrating down the stretch when leading 6-3. No excuses for giving up breakaways at that point. The defensive play must show improvement if they want to win 4 consecutive games in the tourney. The way they played defense tonight will end any tournament run. They have a realistic shot at #9 this year but only if they play well defensively.

Are we not allowed to challenge the hit to the head. These officials should at least try. They are almost as bad as our play that period.

Reschny is so good. Hope we can have him for one more year.

These refs are just horsesh1t.

Fitting goal to give up since they played pretty soft tonight. Very disappointing effort tonight after lackluster play last weekend.

The passing is atrocious and the defensive play is not much better. A different and much better team needs to come out of the locker room for the third period.

While I am encouraged by the overall play by the team so far, I have to temper my enthusiasm a bit when I look at our strength of schedule (30th). Our record against top 20 ranked teams is 1-1 (#5 Duluth), it is 3-1 against the top 20 in NPI (1-1 #4 Duluth, 2-0 #19 St.Thomas). Can’t complain about their record, just a bit concerned about the quality of the teams they’ve played so far. They have a few good tests with high ranked teams the rest of the way (Denver, at Duluth, at WMU).

Zellers played 17:43 tonight, Emery 4:01.

Probably bench him so he doesn’t keep making Bob look clueless.

That will probably get him benched for the next game the way Motzko coaches.

UND wins it 90-88. King hits a 3 with 0.5 seconds left.
