They played great and had lots of puck luck that they hadn't had in quite a few FFs. Lots of great play by everyone for 200'.

Very nice!

A little late to the party but wanted to share some thoughts...I can't begin to tell you how much fun Tampa was. I had been to four FFs when UND played and hadn't seen them win a single game! I really didn't expect them to play as well as they did throughout the year, but when they got to the regional and the FF it was pretty clear that they were on a mission. About 10 minutes into the championship game I knew that the talent and depth would beat QU. I said to my wife about 5 minutes into the 3rd "so this is what a national championship feels like". It was so much fun seeing them win, and the party after! Next year in Chicago - #9!

I didn't see this posted so this seemed like a good spot. Very nice! http://usatodayhss.com/2016/all-usa-boys-hockey-coach-of-the-year-bill-chase-red-river-n-d

Just speculation on my part - Cary Eades would seem to be a good fit.

I like number 3 especially. Last year (?) at Denver a Denver played laid on the ice, obviously hovering near death, and then got up and scored on the ensuing 5 minute PP. BS.

Go to Busch Gardens. It is a blast!

How did Ferris beat SCSU, and how is Denver only up by a goal?

If you feel like venturing north, I am meeting a buddy at Boston's in Mill Creek.

I have a buddy that is an NU fan. They have pretty much penciled it in the win column. From what I saw this past weekend, they looked pretty fast and relied a lot on their top line. PK looked very weak. Hopefully our PP can get it going.

I only saw the third period so I don't know what happened for the first two periods. It looked like they played OK early but not for the whole third and DU got the tie. I thought Cags was not at all interested in the game.

The funny part is "1 Minnesota".

I think a 3 on 3 might be better.

I think the 3rd place game is NCHC.tv only. The others are on CBSSN.

Stecher tonight.

This was discussed between periods of a Vancouver-LA game a few nights ago. The TV analyst said that the Canucks GM told him that Boeser would be back at UND for his sophomore year.

The St.Cloud and Denver games were not on Cam. If you look at the St. Cloud game you will see that every goal (or nearly every one) was tipped. A tipped shot is nearly impossible for any goalie to stop. He was just flat left out to dry in the Denver games.

I would like to think that Cam got his crappy game out of the way last weekend, and will be fine from here on out. Do you remember when Zane had his worst game? It was in the FF and the year was done. I don't see that happening this year.

Some good news on the "who is leaving early" front. One of the studio analysts between periods of tonight's Vancouver-LA game said that Vancouver's GM told him that the plan is for Boeser to return to UND for his sophomore season. I figured he would be gone after the year he has had.

I think ND's biggest complaint about playing in HE is the travel, and it would be reduced substantially in B1G, but the TV contract is too big an obstacle to overcome.

Well they are not happy being in Hockey East, so it could happen. Not real likely but possible.

Just like Wooooster isn't a neutral site for the Boston schools.

Is it a case of losing money when it is held at the Ralph, or a case of making more money in Fargo? The atmosphere Saturday night was great. Not sure what attendance was but looked like about 5,000. Worst case, alternate between Fargo and Grand Forks. And maybe ask the kids where they would like to play.
