I think the best part this weekend for me was seeing the boys step on the throat of an inferior opponent. We came out flying right from the puck drop and never gave CC a sniff. In a one and done in two weeks, this will be huge. When we play with the pace we did this weekend, we are the best team in the country. We smelled blood early in both games and took it to CC. There will be ebbs and flows to games as the playoffs play out and being able to bury a team when they are struggling at any point in a game will be huge. Great effort from the boys. Can't wait for next weekend.

Good game. Lots of pace. Both teams had some grade As in OT. I have a feeling Omaha gets it, for some reason. Must be the Blais magic effect

Hard to cycle when you only have two good players

Omaha and DU going to OT.

Welp, it's time to end somebody's season... time to send CC to the golf course. 4-2 good guys in green Boeser, Cag x2, Chyz

Such a cute little conference they have there, eh?

Please no. I can't take OT lol.

I can name about 5 or 6 other teams I'd be more worried about than Minny and that's not including the three you already mentioned lol.

As said, they can still win their "everyone gets a shot" conference tourney next week.

Diesel wrap is definitely for Brent Davidson, btw. His nickname was Diesel. Parksy definitely perfected it, however. Nice work, Coltyn.

At this point of the season, they need to play like upperclassmen. I've loved both of their games this year. Keep it up, boys. Shaw is very responsible in the zone. I don't see any reason for Stech to do anything different.

Completely fair. Just had to ask

Dare I say... it's time to burn the ships?

Familiar foes, obviously, but we are just the better team. No bones about it. Time to roll. http://daddydumpandchase.blogspot.com/2016/03/nchc-playoffs-first-round-cliche-alert.html 5-1 tonight. Boeser, Cag, Rhett, Simo, Stechy

Hahaha sounds about right.

DId AZ not start a series preview thread?!?!? I do NOT like deviations from routine.... particularly with the start of playoffs today Welp.... here's DDC take on the series. Cliches in tact. bit.ly/1nCysAa

Friday -- Rhett Saturday -- Drake Sunday -- Rastislav Spirko.... just kidding

I guess we could ask Hak

Seems like an age thing. He can grow up just fine in Grand Forks

I still think he needs to improve his skating. Have to think Vancouver is definitely ok with Brock spending an offseason getting into beast mode with Mr. Poolman

Which is exactly what the article says. Article also says it's unlikely UND falls past No. 2. What's your point?

I think Stecher has an advantage that he can literally pick whomever he wants. He's not getting pressured from any particular team. I won't be surprised if he decides to stay. I think LaDue is gone, for sure. KT, Stecher, Ausmus and Poolman stay. And with those four plus Wolanin and Shaw, we have the best blue line in the country, again.

This was my point the whole time!! Everyone just took longer to catch on haha. Minny won't win it, either. Unless the tourney is played on paper

So can talented players (Lynch, Gibson), playing on a full team. Ie. Union and The Ghost. I'm beating my head against a wall just to slight the Gophers. I thought more would be on board with me Wrapping all this up. simply put, I am not afraid of either and there is no reason we shouldn't handle either.
