Agreed.

Gophers will always have 0.6 but I will always be forever grateful to Shayne Gostisbehere...three points and a plus 7 in the national championship game for the Dutchmen.

We went to the CC/Omaha game tonight and we were very impressed with Baxter Arena. Nice facility, great sight lines, loud, open air concourse similar to Amsoil Arena. And best of all, CC won!

Right on all points! I'd add one more: Duluth is a helluva hockey team (and not just because they beat us). Talk about gap control, clogging up the middle, forcing UND to the perimeter, winning faceoffs, etc. Just a fundamentally sound, experienced hockey team. I think UND's youth showed (anyone know the stats on Duluth vs. UND regarding # of freshmen?).

I don't think Boeser looked "lost" on that three-on-two. If you watch the replay, he had to commit to either the puck carrier in the middle entering the high slot or the breaking right wing....he chose the puck carrier who made a nice dish to the right winger who in turn touch passed it to the streaking winger for the goal. Hard to say Boeser made the wrong play when it quickly developed into basically a two-on-one.

Man, what a kick in the stones!

True but I think we've done our fair share of being road dogs over the years.

Some years back, Cornell was in town and Coach Schafer was gracious enough to speak at Sioux boosters and he addressed the fact that certain "big" schools refused to travel. He said he liked scheduling games against teams like North Dakota because they'll return the favor by traveling to their barn. I took his comments as a direct shot at programs like Minnesota and Michigan.

When it's UND's turn, they'll say something other than the Ralph because the question pertains to another team's barn. My guess is, they'll say Magness Arena (not because of the 1,000 or so DU fans but because of how electric the atmosphere is and the playoff-like feel all of those games have). Easily my favorite road series of the year.

In the sincerest form of flattery to coach Montgomery and the Pios, I sure wish he'd leave and go back to Orono! Helluva coach and a very classy guy.

Im disappointed, I trolled GPL this morning on the UofM/SCSU page, hoping and expecting to see some witty comments from MafiaMan and found nothing! What's up, MafiaMan, are you just not wanting to "poke the bear" prior to our series down there in Minneapolis???

Anyone know where a guy can watch the highlights of the gopher/St cloud game?

Yah me too! I hope one gopher fan in particular had a birds eye view of the OT winner (this POS who was being a royal d bag to some UND fans at the UND/UM series in 2012 at the John).

You know us UND fans hate the gophers when we take great delight in Jan Brady State beating them!

I'm too lazy to do the digging but my guess is, UND has not been the league leader in PIMS oh, say the past five years. Our team and game has evolved, we don't have a roster loaded with 6'5" 230 lb D men and forwards who like to fight (this is not a criticism of past UND teams, simply an observation). When I think of UND's blue line these days, I think of guys like Simpson, Genoway, Stecher, etc. Fast, offensively gifted D men. Am I wrong?

Well, we can agree to disagree. Unless someone has proven to be a liar, I can only take them at their word. Plus, if your account is true, why would Gwoz waste his time approaching and talking with a linesman? Why not walk over to one of the Refs?

How so???

I hear you. He was a very intense coach. There is a common misperception that the time he walked out on the ice at the Ralph was because he wanted to argue some more with the officials. Gwoz went on to admit in an interview that the reason he walked out on the ice was because he got confused. At Magness, DU has to go across the ice to get to their locker room and according to Gwoz, he realized the folly of his confusion when he got about two-thirds of the way across the ice and was so embarrassed, he simply tried selling it as if he meant to do it. Plus, if he really intended to do what he did, he wouldn't have approached a linesmen, he would've went up to a Referee. Watch the video and you'll see what I mean.

Can anyone provide some color on the HOF game and why only one game is played? Seems like an awfully long trip for RPI simply to play just one game.

I take issue with the comment about not liking DU because of Gwoz. Montgomery is one of the classiest guys in NCAA hockey so my thoughts about Gwoz are no reflection of Monte but there are so many reasons why college hockey would be better off with the Gwoz back in it. This topic has been hashed and re-hashed long ago but the classy manner in which Gwoz handled the royal screwing he got from the AD and chancellor, his level of success in bringing the DU program back to national prominence, and the classy things he has always had to say about UND, are but a few of the many reasons to respect and like George. The Gwoz was once quoted as saying during the nickname controversy, "They will always be the Fighting Sioux to me."

Pio Dylan Gambrell out 4-6 weeks with an injury.

Honnen ice arena is on campus and it's very old and the ice sheet isn't even NHL size. They're going to demolish it and then start a new fundraising campaign and hit us alums up for more money to finance a new building, whatever that may be.

Yah, Joe Paisley wrote about it in his column in the Gazette. I guess the rule they went with was, first one to score. So, Ohio State shot first and missed and then AF went and scored and that was that however the refs didn't realize that at first and they set the puck up for the OSU player to shoot next and it was the scorekeeper who blew the horn and notified the officials of the rule so the game ended.

It was a weekend for the birds! UND Fighting Hawks, Air Force Falcons, and the BC Eagles all won tonight! Particular shout out to the AF Falcons for their huge weekend beating BC and Ohio State to claim the 2016 Ice Breaker Tournament!

I'm going to the two games at Magness today.....so tempted to wear my UND gear. Should I do it???
