If NCHC replaces WMU and Miami with Mankato and Bemidji, can we all agree the "National" was a huge mistake? It's literally the old WCHA minus Minnesota, Wisconsin, Anchorage, and Michigan Tech. At this rate, might as well ask MTU to come back, bring the McNaughton, and we can right this wrong by renaming the league the WCHA.

A 23/24-year-old Canadian skating for the gophers next year. Thought that was against their rules! #prideonice

And ... 1958-59 1962-63 1979-80 1981-82 1986-87 1996-97 1999-00 2015-16. What other program has had a NCAA championship winning-team play play games in seven consecutive decades: 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s? Don't think you'll find anyone else with more than 4. Pretty impressive continuity for UND.

Sour grapes from Bob Motzko. What he's "really not happy" about is his choice to leave his alma mater and better program that's playing in the Frozen Four next week.

3 NCAA championships last decade and going for #4 in the last 11 years. The real University of Minnesota hockey team plays in Duluth. From now on, the team 2 hours south needs to adopt the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Golden Gophers moniker.

Truly incredible effort by both teams last night. After going toe-to-toe for 2.5 games, anyone could have won it. Heartbreaking watching UND lose twice last night. Terrible feeling knowing that a 48-11-5 record the last two seasons produced one NCAA playoff win against college hockey titans, the American International Bumblebees. Sandy 12-1 in last 13 NCAA playoff games. One Massachusetts team between him and Duluth's shot at a fourth straight title game. Had really anticipated the Fargo, North Dakota Regionals in 2015 (UND), 2017 (Duluth), 2019 (Denver), and 2021 (Duluth) to be a bigger boon for UND's frozen four chances. Every player has eligibility next year, right? Unfinished business??

Third period is ours. Through These Doors Walk Champions.

Thanks, Leah.

Right. Unlike Michigan 2011, its a lot more even tonight, but still not sure we're been playing the better game.

Right. We were clearly the better team. Shots were, what? 40-20 Sioux. Not sure we're the better team tonight.

Sandelin 11-1 in his last 12 NCAA playoff games.

Toews 3rd overall.

Hain penalty. Worst call I've seen all weekend.

My favorite weekend of the year. Can't believe April 9, 2016 was the last time we won a playoff game ... Go Sioux!

Bobby and all 1 of his goals this year? Durf and his ‘stache have more goals and a higher shooting percentage ...

Scheel. Johnson put up some incredible stats (4 SHO in a row) and was instrumental during the championship run. But I also remember him getting yanked during some head scratching performances like when he only saved 10 of 13 shots against Jan Brady; 8 of 11 against Colorado College; or 1 of 4 against Western Michigan during the same season.

Right? UND was so loaded at defense this year that Tychonick needed to transfer, there was no room for Luke Reid, and Rieger would need to play forward to see ice time. Now, Riegers slotted to play the next 9 straight games. JBD and Kierstad 30 minutes each game rest of pod. Get Frisch's minutes up there, too. Go Sioux.

Right, Grieco only played his Freshman year, but he left right after the start of his sophomore season, 2007-2008. https://www.nhl.com/news/north-dakota-backup-goaltender-anthony-grieco-returning-to-ohl/c-373597

Agree as well. I think UND started 2007-2008 with Anthony Grieco, who came in as a highly recruited 17-year old, but he left and went to the OHL shortly after the start of the year.

I sent 6 regretfully, brutal, disparaging e-mails/tickets in a row to Sidearm. It finally started working on my firestick after the sixth e-mail. Don't know if they're related, but this company is still a joke.

Just sent my first disparaging e-mail to Sidearm . . . Wtf. Year after year NCHC.TV continues to be a joke.

Sanderson misses the first full Omaha series, too. So that's 9 games minimum. If Sanderson's a one-and-done, do we even see him in a UND jersey more than 20-25 times?

For a fan base that routinely ignores and changes the actual lyrics (Home of the Sioux, amirite?), I'm surprised to see anyone's feathers ruffled by players choosing to take a knee during that same song.

Flynn is an embarrassment. He was our National Security Advisor, and it only took the President 22 days to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He pled guilty to those lies.
