Hopefully tomorrow. It’s needed ASAP like tomorrow but I’m not optimistic. This teams margin of error is very small. When the Vikings win the Super Bowl ? Probably a lot sooner but we can’t afford to lose players because the scoring depth is limited. Not a chance. Why stop something that works and has almost no risk of hurting your team.

Either you want to get rid of diving or you don’t. It’s pretty obvious from how games are officiated that they don’t care. If you really cared then the league should hand out penalties for diving after reviewing games. Minimum of a one game suspension if it wasn’t called during the game. If called during the game it’s a five minute major. Would put an end to it quickly. Instead, the worse a player risks is matching minors. I’m just sick and tired of watching teams diving. I’ll go watch platform diving if I want to see that. Disgusting.

Duluth and CC going to a shootout.

Omaha gets the .55 win in overtime.

Based on this weekend Miami is not very good. I see them finishing 7th or probably 8th in the league. They give away too much time and space in the offensive zone. Very poor defensive team. No excuse for some of UNDs stupid playing that allowed Miami to stay in the game (breakaway, too many men on the ice, penalty in the offensive zone late in the game while up 2). Fix that crap before it costs you a game.

Punt from the 35 ?

Fixed your post.

Very exciting game. My heart rate must be up to 63. Can we somehow put up a good second half of football ? There probably is no realistic chance that they can still make the playoffs (they certainly don’t look like a playoff team). Use the last game and a half to build some optimism for next year and hopefully keep good players from the transfer portal.

3rd and 3 and we throw it short of the first down. Unfortunately this is what they always do.

Not so good on offense

Nice defensive series to start the game.

I’ll go 24-17 UND

Let’s say your team has record of 16-8 with 10 overtime games that were all lost in overtime. Your official record would then be 16-18. However, for pairwise your record is 20.5-13.5. I assume you would be ineligible for the tournament due to your official losing record. Conversely, if your record was 11-13 with 10 overtime games where you won each one your official record would be 21-13 while pairwise would say you are 16.5-17.5. Your are eligible for the playoff although unlikely to make it in. This teams fans will be upset that there team didn’t make the playoffs with a 21-13 record unless they really understand how it works. If they are going to value an overtime game as basically a tie then it should go in the official record as a tie. Use the result for the extra point in conference play if you want but it is silly and deceptive to call it a win (or loss).

We would’ve had two power plays if we didn’t shoot ourselves in the foot by taking penalties. Schmaltz’s face off violence penalty nullified a power play and then I believe Calder took a penalty when there was a delayed penalty coming up on Denver.

So the Vikings get the ball in OT after a turnover at their own 38. 1st down: Swing pass to Cook 7 yards behind the line of scrimmage, he’s able to gain two yards. 2nd and 8: running play is blown up for a loss of 2. 3rd and 10: of course Baltimore sends pressure and Cousins throws it away. Typically awful play calling by the Vikings lack of braintrust. How Zimmer, Kubiak, and Spielman can keep their jobs is beyond me.

With the rule changes this year they have effectively (for pairwise) created more tie games. The team that “wins” in overtime only gets 55% of a win. I much prefer the previous rules where you had a 5x5 overtime and if someone scored they actual get a 100% win. Now if your team is trailing by a goal in the last few minutes the best you can hope is to win in overtime and get a 55% win…basically a tie. They need to go back to the previous rules or give the 3x3 overtime winner something more meaningful like a 67% win. Just can’t get too excited watching the 3x3 when it means so little in the pairwise.

Mike Zimmer and clock management. Ineptitude does not go far enough in explaining how utterly incompetent he is.

Not impressed with either team. If tonight was indicative of how these teams play this season then we saw a matchup of two teams that finish in the bottom half of their leagues.

Could be a 5 year guy if continues playing defense like this. I do suspect he’ll get his act together at some point this year. The sooner the better. The team as a whole is playing terrible in their own end.

Sanderson…brutal. Has the offensive talent, great skater, got a ways to go on defense.

Two teams that don’t play well in their own end. Not the best goaltending either.

Unfortunately this is not a one game aberration. Been pretty poor all season.

Season effectively over. Hopefully the end of Bubba coaching, but I doubt it.

Terrible call by the ref

When I watched it live it looked like the ref actually spotted the ball correctly and it was a half yard short of first down. No need to measure. If this was western with the ball and they stopped to measure I think everyone would have been pissed at the refs.
