Agree it was vastly different. UMD was trying to intimidate not injure. They went over the edge, but did not commit crimes. basically, I think the approach was "we can't skate with them, so let's beat them up"

So I watch a lot of WHL...you would NEVER witness what we witnessed last night in a "dub" playoff game. Why not? you ask...same high level of hockey, many guys the same age, big stakes...simplest answer is 5 for Fighting...and guys with poor reps have to fight night in and night out. Hard to advocate for fighting when people can really get permanently damaged, but it seems to work for the game in the dub... You could really shake it up and add a "gratuitousness factor" that granted both a pp and a penalty shot if things were out of control.

just cleared my calendar Friday afternoon...haven't seen BU play this year- other than half of their roster at the WJC

Kid is a physical specimen. Probably the most NHL-ready player on our team. If he can go, he will go. Here's to wishing him a speedy and full recovery. Post credible updates please and well wishes.

I would've had Smith send a true message tonight...drop the gloves and feed somebody

I used to really respect the Bulldogs as a team that played the game the right way. That respect is lost after tonight. I will cheer for any team playing them from here on out.

Fargo: DU vs MTU Union vs UND Cincy: UMD vs OSU WMU vs PSU Prov: Minny vs Prov Lowell vs AF NH: Harvard vs Notre Dame BU vs Cornell

I thought in slow-mo that he broke his arm

Promptly smacked by ringneck28

His ability to create something out of nothing with a man on him down low is the best that I've seen since Parise. His two way play at the pivot is the best I've seen since Toews. Not bad to remind me of two NHL all-stars...

The year that UMD won a natty, UND had their number all year...

Roseau vs Warroad has better attendance than the pig 10 reported

Most scenarios that I run have Fargo as DU vs WCHA champ and Union vs UND

Now repeat after me...no mimosas and handys tomorrow morning boys!

Crowd in Detroit looks like last weekends Mite tournament

Most scenarios have us facing Union...we can be #8 playing them as #9 or vice versa...looking like they will get their rematch. PSU and Goldy in double OT

Declining to what? 85%? I presume that is without a win this entire weekend...not just tonight

lineup could be interesting...there are more stoppages in the playoffs. Some in conference, more come NCAA pp will also be a bigger deal. If Shaw can go, he's out of game speed...we should protect him a bit i think Jost with Gersich and Pogo are established now as line 1, and Simo with Olson and Smith are established as the energy/checking line. it will be interesting to see where Boeser plays

The minute you step foot on NHL ice, you start earning credit against your rookie deal and towards free agency. If he can skate in one game with Vancouver, it's ano brainer for him

Sparty implodes...6-3 OSU

3-3 MSU and OSU after 2. OSU on the pp to start the third

MSU with a nice comeback in the first...3-2 Sparty after 1.

No way

So, we want Penn State, Ohio State, BC, and Quinnipiac to lose, correct? All 4 lose, and we are in regardless of what we do

Dean is a class act, great guy, and #LEGEND as a coach. I have had the opportunity to talk to him a few times, and he was always willing to offer a smile and a good time. He is one of the great ones in the game and a difference maker in NCAA hockey. In the list of people that UND hockey owes gratitude, I think Dean and Ralph top the list. His teams were incredible to watch, he recruited better than anyone, and he represented the program with great dignity. Can we get him to consult for us? Put him on some kind of retainer?
