I've never seen a team luckier to get out of a regional than UMD in Fargo. Ohio State, while completely outplaying Duluth in every sense of the word, must have had 10 chances in OT to end their season and failed miserably every time. Pulling for Harvard but the first 2 teams I pulled for(UND then Air Force) didn't work out well. Third times a charm, right?!

Careful petey, we're not allowed to discuss this play anymore according to Kim Jong... err I mean 'SJHovey' But at the risk of being chastised for discussing the most important hockey play of our season on this hockey message board... yes, I agree that the linesman was in great position to see down the line and they had been calling offsides pretty tightly all game from what I could tell. It's one of those instances I think that Sicatoka's suggestion to look at how much the offsides in question actually led to the goal(similar to skate in the crease) would be a welcome change.

She didn't respond to anyone but me. And I never once called a ref a bozo or a clown... at least not on this board Seriously though, you think the offsides review process and/or the offsides play from Friday should be off limits for discussion?

1. Harvard 2. Denver 3. Notre Dame 4. Meteor 5. Duluth

I didn't bring it up, I responded to a poster about having cameras down the blue lines while talking about the game that brought this discussion about. Is it sour grapes if it's true? Of course the coach took the high road, he's a classy coach and great guy and doesn't want to detract from the team's performance. However, I'm not the head coach of UND hockey and am not employed by UND hockey so I do not need to be in lockstep with everything they say. The officials were 'probably right' but the point is that we can't be sure, which is what conclusive evidence requires to overturn a call. Maybe it's just me but I don't appreciate someone coming onto a board telling us what we can and cannot discuss because they think we should get over it because we lost. Part of this message board(to me at least) is to vent and debrief after these types of games. I'm not going to be talking about it all summer, but we're less than a week removed from the game that ended our chance to defend our national title. Sic, if my comments detracted at all from what you were trying to pursue in this thread, I apologize.

You're missing the point completely with that post, but I appreciate your suffocating level of censorship on a thread you could simply choose not to click on. You seem kind of new so welcome to siouxsports.com. This is not a site that bends and shapes to your will just because you think people should 'live their lives', which apparently consists of talking about early departures and whether or not Dane Jackson will leave the team. We like to 'live our lives' a little outside the box... at least outside your box thankfully.

To be clear, you're complaining about discussing a call that ended our hockey season 72 hours ago on a message board dedicated to talking about our hockey team. And you wish we'd instead focus on "living our lives in general". Have I missed anything?

You're literally on a Sioux sports message board... should we not speculate because you'd prefer we don't? Believe it or not, some people are capable of talking about sports and living 'life in general'. There's a handy log off button if you're not able to.

Like what?

Zoomed in, it appears he's offsides to some only because his skate blade blends in with the ice and all you see is the boot. For reference, look at Wolanin's boot height compared to his skates and add that to Hoff's boot.

No video but here's a picture of the moment in question. If you believe this to be conclusive to overturn a goal, I also have some pictures to sell you that prove Bigfoot is real.

Even the BU fans on USCHO message boards were sick of it. They thought it was ridiculous how much they kept talking about who was drafted where. Surprisingly, for the most part BU fans sounded pretty level-headed about their team despite some of the writers out East essentially calling them unbeatable.

Good points here, I think getting that mix of 1st and 2nd rounders paired with 4 year program guys cannot be overstated. Many teams have failed at accomplishing this and have not had success like many thought COUGH Boston U COUGH (FWIW I know we lost to them but they were anointed national champions before the season started by certain writers) You need those juniors and seniors to keep these high draft picks in check and be the glue for the team.

... and he might not even know yet!

Sure you're not confusing him with Red Berenson?

The whole time I was scrolling through twitter between overtimes I was just praying someone had a great conclusive look down the line showing Hoff offsides so we didn't have another 'one that got away' moment. IMO calling it from a camera 200 feet away is a joke. We're trusting this camera through a net with questionable resolution to zoom in that far rather than the linesman who was standing down the blue line that was looking for this very infraction. It's not logical.

There's no logical connection between those 2 statements besides the fact that they're both 1st round draft picks. Take a few deep breaths and if you really want to understand where I'm coming from shoot me a DM. I'm not just pulling this out of my ass.

Like I said, it was a hot take but if you've heard what I have you might not think it was so crazy. Or you can just go on believing that I'm crazy, I'm fine with either

Post of the year nominee

Yeah I agree, both of the people I talked to were at about the midway point of the season, January for the most credible. Judging by what transpired since then, it did seem like they worked it out thankfully. I think this is part of what Ausmus meant when he told the team to play at this level for the ENTIRE YEAR next year rather than just at the end of it.

Only a conference as great as the Big6 could win 23 national championships in 4 years. Incredible!

Goodnight? I'm confused... Anyways, I was surprised to hear this too but like I said, I have heard from multiple sources with direct connections to the team. Brock seems like an awesome kid and was a huge reason we got #8 and for that I'm grateful, but that doesn't mean that he's completely immune just because 'you don't see it'.

It's funny you say that because I was thinking the exact same thing watching their game last night.

Before everyone piles on with the downvotes and ruins me forever(), I've heard from 2 separate damn credible sources that there's something to this.

ABD is my motto for the Frozen Four... Anyone but Duluth
