Story of our season....all Swedish, no Finnish.

Given the rich tradition of the program and Murray Armstrong’s legacy, it’s a shame they didn’t name the arena after him, or at the very least, the rink. Also, DU should have a concourse littered with tributes to past teams/players, similar to the Ralph, Agginas, and Mariucci.

Agreed. Love the Sioux name but time to get over it and move on and embrace the Fighting Hawks!

NU puts up 49 shots and wins 2-1 in OT on a breakaway goal by Tyler Madden. Next week, Northeastern versus Boston College for the Beanpot tournament.

Leave it to Harvard to lay an egg in the Bean Pot...

BC beat Harvard this afternoon, 2-1 and meanwhile, Northeastern and BU are tied 1-1 late in the 2nd of the second Beanpot semi-final.

You guys aren’t going to believe me but there are a TON of drunken UND fans here at Magness Arena!

That huge save Larsson made when UND had a gaping net on the short handed opportunity was the epitome of our season. Our guy basically one-timed it at an open net and didn’t score. Not sure what more he could’ve done. That was an example of the puck luck DU was getting and we weren’t getting. I liked our compete level and a buddy of mine who went who never watches college hockey thought UND out-played Denver.

Well, if UND has to travel on the road in the first round, I’d like our chances against DU given the way we played and matched up against them. I thought that UND deserved a better fate last night, particularly the first period which UND dominated.

I did. Perhaps I oughta skip the series! I don’t want to jinx them! (I did go to Vegas though too so...)

I’m skipping the CC /Duluth series this weekend to attend the UND games at Magness. I hope I’m making the right decision. I do know the energy in Magness will be a lot higher than at World Arena.

It’s in the Herald. https://grandforksherald.com/sports/hockey/4564037-gopher-hockey-notebook-westerners-come-cold

https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2019/01/29_Blasi-Receives-Reprimand.php Yet another example of the inconsistent officiating in the NCHC that greatly influenced the outcome of a game. I was rooting for CC but I’d rather see the officials get the call right and Blasi had a right to be upset.....two weak penalties called almost back-to-back with under 5 minutes in a 2-2 game.

What??? Did Sandy publicly comment about an article?

In CC getting the sweep at Miami, it was CC’s first road sweep in 7 years. Ouch. And, as usual, Coach Blasi threw a temper tantrum at the refs following last night’s game (although I kinda agreed with why he was so pissed....two very weak back-to-back penalties called against Miami in a tie game with under 5 minutes left in regulation).

They better rush Poehling to Altru to get X-rays on that arm!

I know we have a 4 goal lead but it would be nice if the UND play by play guy would refrain from comments like, “this game is won” and stuff like that. UND has proven to allow opponents to get life.

They’re featuring Mark Senden on the get to know your freshman and he said his uncle played college hockey. Last name Stewart. Does anyone know which Stewart he’s referring to? Was it Mark Stewart?

So I just saw Schlossman’s write up that Jimmy Schuldt won’t face any suspension so question, will UND put it past them and just focus on the game or will they attempt to get even with Schuldt?

You know, I could see if you’re in @MafiaMan‘s broomball league or @Godsmack‘s old man beer league getting away with a pass up the middle in your defensive zone but probably not advisable in D-I hockey against the #1 team in the nation.

Yah, he tried getting creative and cute with that pass in the middle of the ice instead of the easy, safe play off the boards or glass. He knew it too.

Oh yah, he definitely did and he took responsibility for it too.

And here I received my Frozen Faceoff tickets in the mail today. I guess I should prepare myself for the possibility that UND will not make it to St. Paul. Go Western Michigan??
