Anyone have any insight as to why CBS doesn’t televise a Friday NCHC game of the week during the first half of the season?

I’ll be sure not to wear my #4 UND jersey! Lol

Will anyone be going out to Kalamazoo this weekend for the series? -I’ll be going, PM me if you wanna meet up for brews before the games.

Last night, we sat through the St. Cloud broadcast. I’m sure Geno Parrish is a nice guy but man, very difficult to listen to his fan boy color commentary. I think UND has it good compared to other programs’ commentators.

So dumb Veinbergs. Shouldn’t have done that. I see him working at the arena every Sunday night when I have my beer league game at Robson. I’m going to have to give him some grief about that.

Can you elaborate? -We bailed at 3-1 and about 13 minutes left to get our 5 year old home so only listened to the rest on the radio.

I think I’ve been relegated to sleeping downstairs in the guest room tonight. With about 15 minutes to play in the third, I proclaimed that CC had this game in hand. CC collapsed down the stretch before settling for a 5-4 overtime win but my wife is none too happy with me.

Noah Laba left the game in the second period last night and didn’t return.

Something told me not to purchase tickets for the UND at DU series. Thank god I finally listened to my intuition for a change.

Looker said UND had a shorthanded lineup tonight. So that’s why we lost!

Maybe beer league champs?

It’s looking like we could very well be traveling back to Denver potentially for a first round playoff series.

They should take a page out of my beer league and aim for the goalie’s chest and perhaps half the time they’ll end up hitting the corners.

If memory serves, Siembida came in at the 11th hour and helped UND win the Great Lakes Invitational his first weekend of college hockey. But yah, after that, pretty pedestrian.

Pandolfo must not have been too thrilled with his goaltenders. He brought up a 6’5” freshman from Russia who’d been playing for the Omaha Lancers up until two weeks ago. Kid stopped about 40 shots tonight against the Eagles.

The Wisconsin commentator talked about the shots Brooks got in but clearly missed the ones Commodore got in.

I honestly don’t recall seeing CC chirp at home this season like they were this weekend. Odd that there’s this kind of animosity between these two teams.

Denver wins in overtime, 5-4.

Could we be looking at a first round road trip at Denver potentially?

You all remember the Darcy Zajac overtime winner at the Ralph over CC? I feel like that was a matinee game on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon? Maybe someone can confirm that. Brad Malone with a low shot on thr CC goalie and Zajac with the rebound.

I also remember a series at World Arena where Parise & Co., jumped out to a 3-0 lead after the first period and I was such a peacock thinking, “we got this in the bag!” only to watch CC come back with 5 unanswered goals! Lol. Taught me a lesson in humility. The game isn’t over until it’s over.

Yah me too! I was sitting up in the corner above where UND skated out onto the ice. Watching the puck sail down harmlessly and hearing the entire arena go nuts as it got closer to the net. Nothing went right for UND that evening!

And yet another trip down memory lane, circa 2010 or so. A delayed penalty was being called on CC. So UND pulled the goalie for an extra attacker. Both UND defensemen skated off on a line change as Jason Gregoire if memory serves, made a no look pass backwards from center ice to what he thought was one of his D men. Unfortunately, there was nobody home and the puck drifted casually down the ice and into our own wide open net. I think CC whipped us pretty good that evening like, 7-3 or something. Scott Owens was quoted as saying in all his years playing and coaching, he’d never seen a goal scored liked that.

Another fond memory of mine from back in the day was watching the 1997 UND/CC Frozen Four semifinal game at the CC student union with my girlfriend and a bunch of her friends and a huge room full of CC students. I think we beat them handily like, 6-2 or something. I was the only UND fan there (obviously) but everyone was cool about it as I tried not to be “that” guy. Still, it was fun watching UND and CC square off in the FF.
