A week ago they had control of their destiny with a reasonable ask. Win at home, split on the road and they are around #12. Now they have a pretty unrealistic chance at controlling their own destiny as they would need to run the final 8. Get home ice, win playoff series and do what we haven't done in the Twin Cities in a long time to make the tourney.

Not sure about all sports but Tri State competes in football(9 man) with kids from Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota

He was 20

Eff the New York Rangers.

From late in the second and in the 3rd period we would dump the puck and the Gopher defenseman were like "no mas, just take it, I don't want to get hit again"

Beanpot title! Made the Gophers tap out in semifinals and with the current replay rules probably win the Natty in Columbus.

Over all a good night for me even though my teams (UND and Maryland) both got beat on a desperation 3 and a desperation bank 3. Had a little teaser going tonight with a 4 point bump. Maryland UND SDSU USD and of course the over in the USD game.

If I remember how things went down we were playing against the goalie who started us on the whole Portal Goalie Train. Rowe was a verbal commit to UND. He wanted opportunity to be the #1 guy his first year so he decommitted and went to Wisconsin. We had Scheel who was 39-8-3 his sophomore and junior years at UND. Scheel unexpectedly turned pro and Thome had already decided he didn't want to continue as backup for his senior season and he portaled to St. Thomas. We brought in Driscoll and Hellsten and have been in the same portal pattern for 5 years now.

I'll say one more thing that to me is more troubling than above. SDSU shot 76% from inside the 3 point line.

It is pretty cool. Not appointment TV or anything

Not enough data to be of use currently. We sweep at home and split on the road the rest of the way and we are around #8 in pairwise. That might be a big ask....Sweep CC, UMD, and Omaha at home, split all road series and WMU at home and we are around 12. The only relevant stat in pairwise currently is the team by team comparison. Many of the comparisons we are losing is due to RPI. Many of the RPI ratings will flip naturally based on who we play the rest of the year and who teams not from the NCHC play the rest of the year. UND just needs to handle their schedule the rest of the season and if they don't then it is on us.

Horrible play by our Captain. Late, unnecessary hit, contact to the head.

The only thing I am happy about is the 4 game parlay on the spreads and over/unders.

Ridder or Mariucci I think

Youngest brother went to Concordia. He ended up getting about 70-75% of his school paid for.

D3 not NAIA

Yeah. That was a head scratcher. You want to be able at least try the pitchy pitchy woo woo.

It was +6 at gametime

Get a little nervous when Hutson is out there and we don't have the puck.

A team will have the occasional sloppy game where they commit 18-20 turnovers....it happens. This team averages 22.5 against D1 teams. 2/1 Assist to turnover rate is a minimum goal. Ours is 1/2.4. At some point it may be advisable to shoot the ball as soon as you cross the half court line and can get a shot on the rim and then have everyone crash the boards.

Talked to a buddy who watches him play quite a bit. Said he is kind of like Brodzinski....shoots the puck a lot but usually gets it on net and scores or creates rebound opportunities....gets a little lost on defense sometimes but has grown and is putting on some muscle/weight and is trending up and getting better and better. Wouldn't mind getting his buddy from the same team who is already a great 200 foot player.

We had already been warned twice for late substitutions, and they were taking too long trying to figure out which d man to use to replace a forward on the power play.
