I see the Gophers have Jake Boltmann listed as a commit out of Edina. Is that Brock's younger brother?

I was just about to make the same comment about the Duluth series. that was some of the worst hockey I've ever seen. I seriously considered turning the games off, not because they were losing, or even because the commentators were so horrific, but it was just plain boring to watch. As has been pointed out, UND is on a solid run of hockey as of late, but with how inconsistent play was early in the season (even in a few series that we won) I think the next two weekends will speak volumes about where this team is going, and how they have developed since the beginning of the season. Consistency is key, and playing a full 60. I really liked what I saw on Saturday, when UNO scored early. The team didn't settle back and start playing defensively, they stuck with their game plan, attacked, and bounced back. I'd like to see a sweep against Miami. I'd love a sweep against Duluth, but would prefer a series win, with solid consistent play. Do that and we are primed for a serious run at 9. Really like the play we got from splitting Boeser and Jost; it'll be interesting to see if we do that again.

Anything less than a sweep is unacceptable

Was he planning to visit UND? Too bad, like you said, need some of these OL to commit.

scholarship?

Hey now, go easy on Meryl Streep. She is a very oppressed famous millionaire. It was extremely courageous of her to get up in front of all those other oppressed millionaires, and preach about about how hard they all have it.

I always enjoy beating Michigan in the playoffs. Not sure why, as there isn't a ton of bad blood due to lack of games, but it is definitely fun to beat those guys. '06 game in GF was fun to watch (Not to mentions HC beating the Goofs) BUT '11 still stings, and will sting for quite a while. Winning #8 helped, but 2011 was one of the best squads I've seen.

I guess. It looks like they recently did a home and home with BU, so not sure why they wouldn't consider UND.

Is there a reason we never schedule Michigan for non-conference games? Seems like we should have some home and home series, or even a MSG style game from time to time. Typically, both are strong teams. Historic programs. Solid fanbases. Had quite a few postseason games.

Never know what a kid wants to do. Some kids like playing college hockey, they like being in college, but they don't particularly like class or homework. No clue how that applies to Gersich, just saying it is a factor for some kids. Really hoping Shane sticks it out for the full 4, because he could be a dominant player by the time he is a senior.

Combo of good guys getting healthy, and young players figuring out the game at this level. Obviously, winning out is unrealistic, BUT if they can play like that consistently, we will absolutely be back in Chicago. Big question for me is how do we respond over the next two weekends. Home games against Miami and Duluth. Winning would be great, but the more important questions is "how do we play?" We swept some series to start the season where we didn't look particularly sharp, whereas we swept Omaha and looked elite on all levels. Can't just squeeze past some of these opponents, but need to play at a dominant level (not necessarily putting up 8 goals a game), but playing sharp and a full 60. No doubt that this weekend should really energize the fans. Lets sweep the home stand!

That #9 banner is going to be "YUGE"!!!!

I know, just had to poke a little fun. Hopefully they can figure it out, because they have had a rough go with the second half collapses. They have the talent, but need to put it all together.

Hmm, what does Union and Omaha have in common? Too bad we could sweep the article with a series against Mich Tech. Really hope the play we saw this weekend is and indicator of things to come. UND didn't just score a lot of goals, the team played 2 full games, and passed the eye test. Shooting, passing, skating ... everything looked in top notch form. Hope we can carry it into next weekend against Miami.

Don't look to much into UND joining the WAC, it wouldn't be for long anyway. The WAC is just the route UND will be taking to get into the BIG 10, and after dominating there ... the SEC.

To be fair, I don't think he every gave a specific year. So the the announcement could still be on home coming ... 2017 .... 2018 ..... 2050

Haha, Can't wait! Seriously though, how cool would that be

I guess so. Still hate GVSU from the 2003 championship game. Proud to say I was there, and had a blast, but still bums me out that we lost that one.

Nice goal by UNO

Ortega is such a punk

Omaha didn't even look like they were trying last night. Boeser skated into the slot, completely untouched, for his second goal. If UND can consistently play like that, we'll be playing in Chicago this Spring.

Time to bench Shaw. Only guy on the team to not have a point. We need a full team effort. Can't compete with that kind of garbage. jk, Shaw played a great game. Fun to see a laugher like that everyone once in a while. You legitimately expect every shot to go in.

My feed was flawless the whole time.

Boom! Foreshadowing!

I'm streaming mine through the Roku and it has been flawless.
