They beat it repeatedly on Saturday, especially in the first 40, but didn't bury the puck. The second sentence is the key. Paging Mr. Johannes.

Has he? Beating UND is one thing, but UND has still had a better season. Btw, I did say Mayotte would win it lol

Let's get this going. I know CC is playing well, and I know they played us well at home, but I don't care. I truly believe we are better and we should win. I think we break out a little bit, here. Our boys need to be and should be playing loose. The pressure is more so on the Tigers. Play fast and win. UND wins 4-1 Blake, OMac, Gaber, Jammer

I like it, but goodness, please, no OT haha. I guess it would keep our regulation streak intact. I think we sweep. Not because CC isn't good, because they are. But, I just think we're better. The team is really rolling. Just feels like a confident bunch. With that said, wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to get smacked in the mouth one of the nights just to keep the team on its toes.

I'd assume Cheese

In defense of Bubs (I think Mayotte will likely win it, and should), he turned around AN ENTIRE DCorps and added a new goaltender. That's a helluva recruiting and coaching job

Man, SO much more fun being in this spot as opposed to last year. Goodness, I can't wait for the tournament.

Albrecht in, Johannes out.... but, Bubs said he's "not far from being in the lineup"

Lots of hedging going on around here.... Let's effing sweep them. Yes, they played us well in our barn. Yes, they are having a better year than they have in a long time. But, so our we. Eff this team. Sweep em and get one step closer to the Penne Rosa.

I'm not. I'm rooting for Omaha to lose because I think they are annoying In all honesty, I'm a one step at a time kind of guy. The Penrose is step one for me. So, whatever gets us there quickest, count me in

Isn't this the game plan of every team that plays hockey?

What am I defending? "We didn't play well and neither did Luddy".... what a stupid "argument" this is.

Again, what did he sugar coat? Solid scoring chances? Like on the horrendous bounce that lead to a wide open breakaway on the SHG? Whatever. Long story short, d corps didn't play their best and Luddy didn't bail them out. Got the win. Let's stop going in circles lol.

There were definitely a couple bad bounces, but I don't disagree we didn't play our best defensive game.

Disagree. Luddy definitely wants a couple back from tonight, but he's been the guy all year. He also made a huge save late to help us win. He'll be fine.

Well, I don't think he was that far off. UND played well in that game, by in large, and a couple of bad bounces did lead to goals, two that Luddy would want back. Plus, what do you want Bubs to say? I'll never understand why anyone wants a coach to rip his players publicly. It accomplishes nothing. The team knows they shouldn't have needed OT for the win.

I see it as a balance thing. The third and fourth lines feel relatively similar. If you flip Strinden and Schmaltz, the gap would be wider, IMO. Kunz deserved his shot on line 1. Perron will be fine and will ultimately be an incredible Top 6 player, right now he's just not there yet. It happens.

LOL let's slow this down a little bit, eh?

I'll go 5-1. I think Miami may come out hard, but they are outgunned and they are missing even some of their best players. Play like the DU series and it's not close. Blake, Strinden, Pyke, OMac

Really? LOL no, you'll be fine .... what could go wrong?!? (Totally blaming him if we lose)

A low one, yes, yes it basically can

If we lose, your fault

Friday - Strinden Saturday - James

I was incredibly impressed by Monty's game all weekend.

Don't hold your breath, unfortunately.
