Maybe hype-wise higher than Toews level? Idk

Sorry, I will stop. I'm making myself sad!

Unfortunately true

I can't remember, did Trupp hit one at the end there?

Boeser added UMD right before he committed to UND... maybe Matthews will do the same?

I hope no one in the AHL/NHL hits him too hard, might try to leave for the European league

One freakin shot out of 40 finds the back of the net and that building would've exploded. I'm 100% sure that crowd would have been going crazy and carried the boys all the way to the title. It's easy to say afterwards but Michigan got very lucky that powder keg was never lit because it would've made their highschool state sized section of fans look pretty insignificant.

My closest comparison to the players on this team would be last year's, as they have the most players in common. IMO It didn't feel like last year's team really ran out of steam at all to me, in fact they carried play at the Frozen Four for a majority of the game against an arguably more talented Minnesota team.

My thoughts exactly, this team doesn't need to win games right now. We're going to the Fargo regionals no matter what happens. That leaves time for these guys to focus on getting healthier and ready to win 4 games when it matters!

I think NS and Caggiula will be fine come Frozen Faceoff(pending this weekend) and NCAA tournament time.

If NS is on the edge of playing this weekend I think we should sit him. We shouldn't need him to beat CC and I'd rather he get another week to recover than have him make his "upper body injury" worse.

I kind of hope the tourney is UND, SCSU, UMD, and Miami. Less chance for dropping in the Pairwise with those teams and atmosphere should improve a lot on last year.

I would make the game Sunday but I still would prefer they take care of business in 2 games!

Yeah I was thinking we could have used him!

It begs the question, as a 2nd round pick how did he decide to go to Maine?

I don't know if the I'd schedule the opening round vs the AHA team as an "off" day. That's a sure fire way to be remembered for a looong time... just ask the 2006 Rodents

Yeah I agree, there's something to that but I also don't want our NCHC playoffs being ended by CC. Agreed

It could potentially be the difference between playing Bob Morris in the 1st round or a much stronger team.

I'm saying UND in 2 games. They just swept SCSU at home, these seniors fully understand they only have 2 or 3 hockey games left in The Ralph to lay at all on the line, CC is #50 in the country winning 6 games all year and only 2 against NCHC teams, UND is #1 in country with their "worst" loss coming against a team currently #21 in the country.

Pepsi Center should be wide open this year

That's a really good point that I hadn't even considered, wow that conference is having a terrible year. So essentially, Minnesota needs to be 14 or better in PWR, at worst! And this is barring upsets in our conference tourney and others across the country.

Well this year it seems to be much warmer so hopefully that air blowing in isn't quite as bad! I hope these temps keep up because that fanfest was a great time despite freezing my butt off last year.

I feel like 16th in the PWR is a perfect position for them going into the NCAAs.

I think it's nice to see Jordan beat anyone up! I thought he stepped up his physicality a bit this last weekend...

I'd guess #18-20 Full disclosure: absolutely no math was done to come to this conclusion
