    Sorry, very late to the party here but what happened during the handshake line? I noticed a Mavs player bumped Johannes and then there were words exchanged. Was this because of his cele after scoring?

    Thoughts on the CC game… I agree with coach Mayotte’s post game comments-CC didn’t match Augustana’s intensity out of the blocks and again for the sixth straight game, CC took way too many penalties and had some bad d zone break downs that left Mbereko hanging out to dry. I liked CC’s compete level though as they battled back from the 4-1 deficit. They had a five on three with a five minute power play and scored one but would’ve been nice to pop in two, obviously. Give Auggie credit, they’re big and physical and well coached and earned that victory. They’re a good solid team that’s going to win some games this year.

    Poor Air Force. I bet DU’s going to stomp a mud hole in them tonight. They probably feel embarrassed blowing those two leads and settling for a tie at home against an upstart program. I’ll be at the CC/Augustana game tonight. Should be competitive. After watching Augustana last night, I’m not so sure about CC’s chances but it should be competitive to say the least. CC’s much improved, a lot faster, more skill but young and inexperienced. It’ll be fun.

    CC wins some hardware tonight. They retain the Pikes Peak trophy by beating Air Force in their one and only matchup of the season.

    Don’t tell the Vikings of Augustana that the OT shootout doesn’t count for anything! Huge game for their program tonight!

    The strangest goal I ever witnessed was circa 2010, maybe? At World Arena, a delayed penalty was being called on CC. So the UND goaltender skates off for an extra attacker and I wanna say Vandevelde made a no look pass backwards from center ice thinking his D man was back there to reset and start the charge up ice. Unfortunately, he wasn’t aware that his defensemen had skated off for a line change and we all watched the puck slowly but surely drift down the ice into the wide open UND net. CC fans were delirious with joy. I think we got smoked that game something like, 7-3 or something. Scott Owens commented that he’d never seen anything like it. But I digress….back to UND/Mavericks talk here.

    During a recent podcast, Schloss was reminiscing on old WCHA battles between UND and Mankato and reminded the listener of the 2008 series when a Maverick player not only scored a natural hat trick against UND, but all 3 goals were shorties! I don’t remember this happening but perhaps I wanted to forget it at the time. Lol

    https://www.grandforksherald.com/podcasts/und-hockey-podcast Boy, Schloss, Eli, and Jason sure are bullish on Britt, Pike, and Albrecht. Apparently, due to injuries to Zmolek and Pherson, Britt logged over 27 minutes of ice time, most of it five on five.

    Dang it! Here I just stumbled upon it by accident a week or two ago and I was thinking, “Oh wow, a new feature!” -I’m proof that even a blind squirrel catches a nut once in a while.
  11. Godsmack
    Is this a new feature where a subscriber can watch an archived game? I like it!

    I loved Schmaltz’s stick pop on Snuggerud in the waning seconds to prevent him from getting off a shot from close range. Such a heads up D zone play by Schmaltz.
  13. Godsmack
    There was one power play in the third period for UND that comes to mind where they did all the right things but score. I recall Berg camped out in front of Close and getting a couple nice looks where Close just stoned us.

    Someone on GPL is saying both the NCHC director of officials as well as two of the on ice officials are UND alums (insinuating home cooking). Can anyone verify the validity of that claim?
  15. Godsmack
    Putting the wrong Gopher player in the penalty box twice has been a bee in Gopher fans’ bonnets over there on GPL. Can’t say I blame them either. Makes the officials look even more incompetent.
  16. Godsmack
    Trolling GPL, Gopher fans have pegged Blake as the next Robbie Earl. Lots of comments about how he takes dives and how that won’t work at the NHL level. Fun reading.
  17. Godsmack
    Clearly this fan didn’t bother to check and see that Justin Close is 2 months older than Hunter Johannes. Both are 25 years old.
  18. Godsmack
    Any chatter from Gopher fans about the officiating last night? I think we had 6 power plays to their 2. Lots of tripping calls made. I do know the Gophers got away with a hook on Blake during a second period UND power play that would’ve given us a 5 on 3. It was so obvious too and right in front of the ref. Stick up high around Blake’s neck area as he was marching toward the net with the puck.
  19. Godsmack
    To your fourth point about defensive commitment and sticks in lanes, was that Schmaltz who got a critical poke check on a Gopher player in the dying seconds of last night’s game that prevented them from getting a grade A shot off? Whoever it was, it was a huge defensive play!
  20. Godsmack
    Agreed. Alex reminded the viewer this weekend about how UND was only 70 seconds away from sweeping the Gophers last year but if we’re being honest with ourselves, Minnesota dominated play for much of that weekend. If not for cashing in on timely power plays and DeRitter saving our bacon, things probably would’ve been different. This year’s UND team looks faster, deeper offensively and much more responsible defednzively.
  21. Godsmack
    In honor of the great Dan Hammer, the traditional circle of sticks!

    One that isn’t so memorable in the sense that UND was the primary focus but circa 1995/1996 season, I was attending a CC game at the Air Force Academy Cadet Ice Arena (CC’s temporary home while they were building World Arena), the Tigers were chasing the McNaughton Cup with the Gophers neck and neck down the home stretch. During the CC game, the PA guy kept the Tigers fans up to date with scores from the Sioux/Gophers game. Every time it was announced that UND was winning, there’d be a huge roar from the CC fans. Upon the final update that UND had won, the crowd went absolutely nuts in delight. As a UND fan, I felt proud to at least experience a vary rare occurrence of a non-North Dakota fan base cheering on the Sioux so loudly (for selfish reasons, of course). Fun memory though nonetheless to see UND do their part in helping some other team win the conference championship at the expense of the Gophers winning it.

    Yah man, easy for me to say sitting back in the comfort of my living room but just such an unnecessary penalty that could’ve cost us. Hopefully we will keep our emotions in check this weekend and minimize the penalties.
  24. Godsmack
    Are you talking about that two handed pop to the back of the Badgers player near the boards behind our own net? (At least that’s my recollection of the play). If so yes, such an unnessary penalty. Just get your body on the guy, tie him up along the boards with the puck to help chew up precious clock time.

    Coach Mayotte is very bullish on Montgomery thus far… https://paisleyhockey.wordpress.com/2023/10/18/tigers-look-to-sustain-strong-start-despite-stern-test-from-defensive-minded-sharks-this-weekend/?fbclid=IwAR1DndV-rG3NtAi-5XAOCZ9ZE-cTa3MD4OK8EuIIS4zXWdsJLjHm6YsRFnA
