Godsmack

Is there any accountability for the officials? My god, that knee on knee hit was so obvious and easy to see and both refs had to see it, particularly if they caught the retaliatory slash.

I’m not disagreeing with you, just not pinning this loss on Poolman. It was looking inevitable that St. Cloud was eventually going to take the lead anyway, it was just a matter of when.

Not that it’s excusable but I think Poolman got his pocket picked. St. Cloud’s speed exposed us overall.

Dave Starman put it best when he just said that St. Cloud is simply a faster team and that UND doesn’t have great team speed.

No puck luck tonight.

In my pre-season NCHC writeup on the CC Hockey Discussion page, I picked SCSU to win the Penrose despite many others going with the defending national champs. Pre-season picks usually aren’t worth the paper they’re written on but they’re fun to make. I thought-and continue to think-that St. Cloud is the deepest, most balanced team in the conference and so far, that’s holding true. There’s St. Cloud and then the other 7 teams. The interesting battle will be for spots 2, 3, and 4 as barring a collapse, the Huskies should easily win the conference but there will be a dog fight for the remaining 3 home ice spots as neither Duluth, Western, nor Denver appear as locks for any of those three remaining spots in any particular order.

I caught the interview with ASU Coach Greg Powers tonight on This Week in College Hockey on ESPNU and I guess they’re the only team in the nation to have 5 freshmen in double digits in scoring. They also have 10 or 11 guys overall in double digit scoring.

They refused to review it. But I digress. If I say too much here someone will tell me to take it on over at the non-UND game thread.

Speaking of blowing 2 goals leads....CC is doing just that at DU.

Can someone provide me a summery of what Berry said in the post game?

I seem to recall hearing @MafiaMan ‘s name mentioned in a Buzzfeed story today about Russian collusion. #fakenews???

Apparently there were scheduling issues. I’m guessing the Broadmoor World Arena was already booked for something that day.

The CC/DU game got postponed due to weather and bad road conditions. It took DU 4 1/2 hours to get from Denver to Monument-normally about a 45 minute drive. In the interests of player and personnel safety, the decision was made to turn around and go back to campus. Game will be re-scheduled for sometime in February or early March.

They even manage to get in a dig about North Dakota in this one! Back story: There’s a little bit of controversy over building an on-campus arena at CC as the campus sits right next to the Old North End neighborhood where there’s a lot of old money. Residents of the old north end are concerned about the traffic that the new arena will generate.

Well, he drinks a shite ton of beer so my guess would be yah-he’d probably fit right in with a bunch of college kids.

There’s a dude in my men’s league currently tearing it up on the score sheet, I could reach out to him if you want?

I went back and watched it again tonight and Troy Conzo inexplicably fell on Scheel, he was never pushed. I don’t know how Haviland can argue that goal being waived off.

The Westin Michaud goal where a CC teammate interfered with Scheel in the blue paint, preventing him to get in position.To a man, that goal should have been waived off. If the tables were turned, I’d acknowledge that it should be waived off on UND.

I’m listening to the Mike Haviland Coaches Show with Ken Landau and after listening to this, they oughta rename it, The Mike Haviland Excuses Show. My god, he’s still whining about the no goal on Saturday.

Ever since Berry & Co. stopped recruiting high-end players from the twin cities area adult broom ball leagues, this team just hasn’t been the same.

Minnesota swept Notre Dame so that probably didn’t help us.

I should’ve clarified that my commentary was directed at the relative silence to Bast’s hit. There appears to be far more outrage on this game thread over Wilkie’s cele than over Bast’s high hit on Berardinelli. But I also don’t think what Wilkie did on his roughing penalty merits wishing the guy ill will for the rest of his college career.

I would argue that supplemental discipline is definitely merited here. The hit was violent and reckless and every UND fan would agree that if the tables were turned and it was a Fighting Hawk laid out on the ice, the other guy should be punished.

People complaining about Wilkie’s roughing penalty which wouldn’t cause irreparable damage and wishing him ill will for the rest of his college hockey career but then not acknowledging or saying anything about Bast’s stupid elbow that might cause permanent damage to Berardinelli. It just seems hypocritical to me.

What about Bast’s dirty hit on Berardinelli?
