We should win this in two when comparing talent and skill on offense, defense, and goaltending. However, in two of the four games played against them this season, CC has really pressed. I thought they really pressured UND in the 3rd period of the Saturday night game at Robson and of course they came back from a 3-0 deficit to make things interesting in the Friday game at the Ralph. Don’t take CC lightly as despite their talent discrepancy, the players have and continue to play hard for their new coach, I saw that this past weekend against DU.

Looks like Penn State will advance past Ohio State.

Lol, I’m catching sh*t from some of my fellow CC fans about UND losing and having to share the cup. Maybe UND might have to let CC see and touch the Penne Rosa next week when they come to town.

I did for about 4 minutes until we just gave up a shorty.

Nevermind. That dream ended quickly. 5-1, DU now.

UPDATE: CC just scored to make it 4-1, DU. So you’re saying there’s a chance? (Not really, but fun to dream)

Be ready for Mayotte to dig into his old bag of tricks and challenge any and all non-calls. He did that again last night.

4-0, DU now. DU has outscored CC 18-0 in four games so far this season.

Rock on! Thanks! Wish I could!

LOL! Since I just went back to GF for the CC series a few weeks ago, I doubt the boss will give me another hall pass!

A motivational message if it helps any…. I remember UND clinching the McNaughton Cup on a Friday night way back in 1997. The next night, DU absolutely blew the doors open on us and beat us bad, like 7-1 or something. I know because I was there-at that crappy old airplane hanger arena. UND went on to win the Final Five and the Frozen Four. Moral of the story-the book for this year’s UND team isn’t finished being written.

My wife has been saying this for a few weeks now…that she doesn’t want CC playing DU. Not that she thinks they’ll beat UND but DU just absolutely man handles the Tigers.

I like your optimism. Don’t think CC can muster a point let alone a goal. Tigers have been outscored 16-0 thus far against DU.

DU just scored a PP goal. 1-0.

I synched up Hennessy’s broadcast on iHeart radio with the television broadcast so I don’t have to listen to the Omaha guys.

Bad turnover.

Looks like Hellsten getting the start tonight according to the line chart posted on the North Dakota hockey FB page.

I think Miami has better goaltending despite thinking Basse is a more than capable goaltender. CC’s play in the defensive zone is not good. CC is a small team and they don’t do well with regards to board work, which is one of UND’s specialties.

I think when they got into some penalty trouble, that by itself resulted in a shortened bench and therefore the penalty killers probably didn’t have a whole lot in the tank. At least this is my impression from Coach Berry’s post game comments with Hennessy.

So I wasn’t able to watch the game last night. Anyone have any thoughts on anything UND can shore up for tonight’s game? Did UND play pretty well over all last night? Anything that they could change up? Just curious to get everyone’s thoughts on how the team performed. Thanks.

I don’t blame Blasi for being upset. Big time no-call there.

DU just won 5-0, so they are now 3 points behind. (I know, thank you captain obvious)

Can someone explain this to me? We’re up by 6 now but DU will likely win so we’ll only be up by 3. What happens if we lose tomorrow and DU wins? Then we’re tied and share the league title?

Touché! Maybe worse!
