I'd argue it'd be the equivalent of seeding malpractice to give the 1 overall seed essentially the 15th ranked team vs the 34th ranked team in the country.

Agreed, Zakreski has to play. Dude is coming back from what I assume was a broken leg and has already scored 2 goals, one being extremely clutch.

From the few scenarios I ran, to get the #1 overall seed either UND needs to win the Frozen Faceoff AND have Michigan St beat Michigan in the Big Ten Championship OR UND can lose to UMD or the title game AND have Michigan and Mich St lose in the semifinals

If that happens, it'll be a rematch of the Frozen Faceoff in Vegas.

Yes please

We also are 100% on the PK in the last 7 games, but I agree. There's no doubt in the world we're the better team 5 on 5, no need to buy into their "rivalry".

Wonder if it's a Cole Spicer situation where the staff asked him to wait another year and he said no thanks

That goalie haunts my dreams. We were a Spunar left pad away from being really nervous in that game.

2020-21 team was better and I’ll die on that hill. Added Gaber, Sanderson, Kleven and Jammer

Exactly, it may be UND bias but I believe we have essentially 2 head coaches on staff and we greatly benefit from it with player development and recruiting. I can’t imagine he won’t be an extremely attractive target for the next program that cans their head coach.

Don’t forget his associate head coach that will likely be a college head coach at a different program shortly

Just go back to the final five format once we have 10 teams and play the tourney at the Ralph. No one will take issue with that 😁

My first thought looking at the new format. Yikes that’s a long time between games. Even losing in the semifinals leaves a an additional week gap from previous years.

Yup, at round 9 or so just come down with speed and rip a slapper

Just as important as the 1 overall seed, Michigan and Michigan State are showing chinks in the armor losing to non-tourney teams

Replay looked like it hit him in the lower stomach but also looked like he actually tried to turn a little so the stick didn't hit him hard. Looks like the Bronco actually saw him skating and decided to stage a performance... and the refs agreed

Homer in net tonight

I’d say that about a lot of games. Last night they got bounces, all the power plays etc. We had more grade As in that game then I’ve seen all year. A few bounces our way and it could have been 8-3. That being said, I expect the broncos to come out flying tonight.

That’s funny because I remember someone on here saying there’s basically no chance UND moves up ahead of Mich and Mich St. Great win tonight, 22nd league title in program history. Not too shabby

We looked really good that period. Western wants to play a high pace game, bring it on

Are you though?

I'd believe it, Minnesota isn't a fan of playing much defense. He's not flashy enough to join the team 8 games below .500.

Blackheart's videos got me through the early part of the pandemic, nostalgia overload

If SCSU swept UND this past weekend they would have moved up to #18 and UND would be hanging on to the #4 seed by .01 over Penn State. Huge 3rd periods.

Hearing Mbereko is a senior is the best news I've got all morning, dude is a stud
