Yah, it looked like our forward and their D man were tied up and the D man got pushed into the Western goalie. I thought it was the right call waiving off the goal. Unfortunate but the right call nonetheless.

MafiaMan, strike up the Simpsons pitch fork and fire gif!

Turn this into a positive kinda like the team from a few seasons back when they had that bad loss at home to St. Lawrence I believe, and went on a roll by playing much better hockey.

Sounds like Union came in playing with house money; no expectations that they’d be successful (at least from no one outside the Union locker room) and just went out and out-worked UND. Sometimes when we have bad losses like this, I wonder if all the plush accommodations of the Ralph work against the players?

Yes I noticed it too. This was my first weekend seeing him live and I commented to my wife how overly aggressive he appeared in his crease. He slides around a lot and he oftentimes rests on his pillows. Terry’s goal on Friday went upstairs and I wonder if he would’ve scored had Thome been standing up? Kid’s got a lot of natural talent but he seems raw at times and inexperienced compared to Johnson. Give Peter Thome a ton of credit though-the circumstances in which he was thrust into the starting position, talk about being thrown to the wolves. Kudos to Thome!

Two things: DU will come out H-A-R-D tonight. Based on Monty’s post-game comments last night, you can count on it. However, the pressure is also on DU tonight. Would UND love to get a sweep? -Of course. But UND is now playing with house money after getting points last night. DU and their faithful know that should they lose tonight, there will be a lot of finger pointing and doubt in that locker room. On the flip side, what a huge confidence booster for North Dakota-storming back from the dead against the defending champs and #1 team in the nation, in their own barn no less.

Any video highlights out there? -My pops would like to see the goals.

Wow, did anyone catch Coach Montgomery after he shook hands with the North Dakota coaching staff?!?! He absolutely lost his marbles, yelling at the officials.

Instead of the hawk, don’t you mean the jelly donut???

And DU’s days may be numbered having the Pioneers as their nickname as there’s a student group trying to get the name dropped. You can read about it on letsgodu.

Willnthe game be on nchc.tv?

Their D are still pretty good but yah, totally agree with you....not having Hammond or Plant definitely helps our chances. There’s a story in the Denver Post about Denver’s D man situation but Monty is really high on freshman Ian Mitchell.

I’ll be there too. It’s the weekend of hockey I look forward to most. Have seen some amazing games there, been frustrated at times with outcomes, but I don’t think there’s a better road atmosphere in the NCHC than when UND is playing two at Magness Arena.

Ha Ha! Yah, don’t know why the picture is crooked, it’s right on my phone. The Caps ended up getting crushed!

I wonder if Berry took the boys over to the Pepsi Center to see Jost, Chorney, and Oshie?

I just heard that DU’s #1 defenseman, Adam Plant is out this weekend due to an upper body injury. http://www.denverpost.com/2017/11/16/denver-pioneers-north-dakota-hockey-preview/

Here’s a good write up over at letsgodu. This one isn’t of the satirical nature of some of their other posts. https://letsgodu.com/2017/11/16/denver-hockey-series-preview-university-of-north-dakota/comment-page-1/#comment-6910

Yah I know but they come up with new pictures and stories and I find them funny because they are so ridiculous and far from reality!

Some fun, good natured humor from our friends over at Letsgodu. Please take this satire in the spirit it is intended....I love their weekly pieces before each Hockey series. They outdid themselves with this one! https://letsgodu.com/2017/11/13/north-dakota-fans-make-mile-high-plans/

What about the tweet from Schlossman today regarding this kid Cole Guttman who de-committed from St. Cloud State?

I couldn’t find a video of it on YouTube but you can see it on NCHC.tv.

I hope we can....I witnessed Borgstrom undress Jimmy Schuldt on Friday night to score a really nice goal and he’s one of St. Cloud’s top D men.

That or Maggot Arena for series between DU and anyone other than UND.
