Caribbean? WTF? How did you get all the way down there after vacationing in Park River?
Ha, I am not sure how I ended up in Park River.

If anyone happens to be driving through PR (Park River) this weekend, please confirm that @Goonis enjoying his vacation!
I actually watched Saturday's game from the middle of the Caribbean on my way back to port in San Juan, and most of the third period in a theater on ship waiting for a musical on Friday night. I think there's a small sliver of hope UND can do well this weekend. It will be a tall order for them to win the Frozen Faceoff. I think if they could pull it off it would give this team some momentum in 2023-24.

Maybe recruiting more pre-law major hockey players would help?
I spit my pop all over my car (I am parked) while I was reading that.

For the people that don’t have Midco we will get Omaha’s crappy webcast with their horrible announcer. Take your Dramamine.

I think most of us would be shocked if he doesn't enter the portal. But if he for some reason stayed to get a ton of ice time next season, I'd be all for it.
I would be highly shocked if he was here next season.

He's written about 5 being with the team but having an upper body issue that's kept him away all season.
6 is invisible I guess.
Schloss has spoken about Johnson and his poor play leading to his benching on his podcast a couple of times. I’ve also chatted with him about it. He’s not practicing or has played well enough to crack the lineup, or stay in the lineup. Who would he replace in the lineup? Top five or six I can’t think of anyone he’d replace. Maybe Bast or Moore.

Midco is broadcasting it on midco. Alex and Jake are calling the game. If you stream on NCHC TV you will get the Omaha feed though. There’s an article on the GF Herald about it.
And that feed is a dumpster fire. Their play-by-play guy is horrendous. Their camera work will make you motion sick. UNO broadcast muted with Tim and Looker on my Alexa.

24 may have saved a goal with a blocked shot on Saturday night. He looks to have a place and a role on this team moving forward, and I really hope he stays. Granted, he's -8 in only 11 games played this season. But IMO he passes the eye test much more so than 4.
Why hasn't 24 played more regularly? Did he have an injury to start the season that I'm forgetting? I just have to think there's a reason. The coaches see these guys every day, and Berry and co. know a bajillion times more about hockey than we do.
FYP.

Bast didn’t play until Thanksgiving weekend for added reference on how long he was out.
If IRC he was injured.

Mafiaman would make the trip just for the free cowbell they hand out at the arena.
When @MafiaMan attends UND hockey they have won a single game. I think their record when he attends is like 1-3-1 or something like that.

I like McDavid's 5x5 for 10 notion.
If you're going to keep playing a different game (3x3) and then another different game (shootout), devalue them in comparison to a regulation win.
Go to a "5 point" systems (scroll down):
5 – Win in regulation time
4 – Win in overtime
3 – Win in a shootout
2 – Lose a shootout
1 – Lose in overtime
0 – Lose in regulation timeYou should propose this to the NCHC Commish. I don’t see it getting approved. I would rather line to see a 10 minute 3-on-3 OT and kill the shootout. Maybe keep a win in OT a 3 pointer, and in a point for a OT loss.

An unconvincing sweep would have the same result.
That said, I doubt we see a sweep this weekend.
The team has good luck when I don't watch, I will be in PR on vacation, so, you never know.

Anything less than a sweep *should* be unacceptable!
Anything less than a convincing sweep of the Tigers does nothing for UND.

Yes, Erin. UND law grad.
When Katie interviewed Dave it was her brother in law. And Tim O’Keefe doing color for his son in law’s team … those were the days.
Bobby Brinks Mom hung out with Erin a lot in high school.

So typically UND leaves a day earlier than normal for the Colorado road trips. That said, I’d be curious to know whether or not they’ll be able to fly out today given the bad weather and numerous flight cancellations already this morning.
Edit: Just read that there’ve been over a 1,000 flight cancelations this morning, with most of those being flights into or out of Denver and Minneapolis.
I don't know if that matters for a charter flight or not. They will fly out tomorrow.

Blake's pipe in the 3rd with just a couple minutes left would have blown the roof off the place and been a good reward for a strong weekend from him.
If that goes in the place blows up with noise. The building was really thumping during the second period.

Kunz even strength, Gaber on the PP. Agreed... it was frustrating to watch chance after chance not be put away. I think we had 4 (maybe 3) pipes. Such a fun, but frustrating game. Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Possibly our best weekend of the season, but lots of missed opportunities to get a sweep.
UND has three pipes on Saturday, one in each period. I remember talking with that with @ScottyWaz in the press box.

Now that we got that all straightened out.

That was a bad call and then he had the audacity to yell at the players for being upset.
