That was some serious effed up officiating. On the fake penalty to smith the refs must not have seen the play and just took the word of arrogant whiner or they saw it and still ruled it a 5- min major. Pure incompetent officiating and deserving of suspension from the league. Arrogant whiner should be suspended for endangering the welfare of a player who had no business dressing for this game. Two players bump in open ice and one goes down and has to be helped off the ice and can't even stand up ? I hope he is ok but the implication is that he was nowhere healthy enough to play tonight. If your going to give 5 min major and game disqualifications then you should have a video review to confirm. Those penalties can have an oversized impact on a game and as tonight graphically showed the refs are too incompetent to get it right (although I don't have a lot more confidence that they can make the correct call using video, see the BU playoff game last March for evidence).

Confirms my belief that the entire coaching staff needs to go. Incompetent. Clock management is easy to do. No excuse for this. We have a team that is undisciplined, an offensive coach who is clueless, and a head coach who seems to have no idea how to manage the clock. All of this should be significantly better regardless of the talent on the field. Is this as bad as the Mussman regime? No but it is not a lot better. Just because it is better does not mean it is good enough.

Looks like 9/22 http://www.uwbadgers.com/sports/2015/08/21/GEN_20140101617.aspx

I saw this also but when you looked at the dates the posts were from last summer.

The NCHC wants to be the premier league and in terms of competitive teams they are right there. For the fans they have some room for major improvement in certain areas. The webcasts from a number of the schools are total crap, second rate broadcasts with very minimal effort and $$$ spent and then they have the audacity to charge for this poor product. As far as the target center goes it is a complete joke. No conference that wants to be the best should be holding any event in a dump like the TC, especially when you have one of the premier buildings just miles away. If they don't terminate the TC and move it to the XCEL by next season it will tell me the conference is just doing lip service on being the best.

Refs certainly could have been better, but what do you expect with Todd Anderson ? He is the worst ref in all of college hockey, the undisputed champ for quite a long time. Pionk should have been tossed from the game. If you won't toss someone for what he did to Cam then it is open season on goalies. As far as Sandelin, I have not been a fan of his coaching for quite a while. Has nothing to do with the game or style tonight, I just don't think he is a good head coach. Hard to argue with his mediocre record at Duluth as his record is 312-283-82. To put it another way he has won less than half the games he coached. He would have been terminated long ago at UND with that type of record.

Could this be Dean's last game of a great coaching career ? Hope not, but if UNO loses I think there is a possibility he retires.

Lots of empty seats for W. Michigan game 3. The rink looks half empty.

We will need to elevate our game to beat Arizona

In the past the game times aren't posted until sometime on Monday.

Looks like we get Arizona.

Not wrong at all. 51% they get an at large bid, the remaining 49% they will get the auto-bid. They can't have any higher chance for an at large bid if the rest of the time they get the auto-bid.

Are you sure on the NIT ? Regular season champs that don't make the NC$$ tournament get an auto-bid but how do they handle it if there are co-champs ? Do both teams get auto-bids or only one. If only one then do they have to take the #1 seed or can they take whomever they think will draw the biggest crowds or some other subjective reason ? Remember, this is the NC$$ we are talking about.

When I am in "http://social.siouxsports.com" and try to go to any links under "Hockey Rankings" I get a not found error.

Of the returning players who has improved from last year ? Gersich for sure. After him it is difficult to come up with a name. I suppose Gornall but that doesn't help much given his playing time. With all the losses from last years team it would be impossible for this years team to be very good unless a number of returning players stepped it up. They didn't and it shows.

Not sure I want to. We did get a tie in one game.

Definitely a tough place to play when you play the way UND is playing.

10 of 25 3 of 9

UND has won 9 of the past 22 games. Let that sink in for a minute. There is no way to spin that, they are not a very good team right now. The effort is sporadic and some of the skill players are invisible. When you add in all the defensive mistakes this team makes you can see why they cannot win consistently. They probably need to win 6 of the last 8 games, hard to see how they are going to do this given that they only won 9 of 22. Where is the team that played Union ? Playing without Jost and Boeser they were fast, aggressive, and took the body. Wish they could find the team that showed up that night.

There was easily 8000 Sioux fans, probably closer to 9000. Walking the concourse it looked like a home game at the Ralph. The only way there were fewer than 8000 Sioux fans was if some BC fans decided to wear Sioux jerseys.

14-7 PSU with 0:15 left in 1Q

2:19 left in 1Q, 14-0 PSU

Good to know what you really think of the #rolltribe hashtag since many of the current and former Sioux players use it.

By using the passcode it should automatically find tickets in the Sioux half of the arena. This is a good layout of the seating: http://www.nchchockey.com/collegehockeyshowdown go to the seating chart tab.
