You deserve to feel proud.   Just keep in mind that when the puck drops this fall, you're trash.

You as well lol. Thanks for the support.

Congrats to Western!  Very well deserved.  Their fans that visit the forum are good guys.  Well done Broncos. 

Thanks guys! Still can't believe it is true. Felt like a home game last night, I knew once I felt the energy in there we weren't going to let BU beat us.

Damn....come on western....man I hate Denver

Whatever happens it's been a hell of a series with Denver this season. Our 3 games vs Denver this year were crazy close. Game one we went up 3-0 and held on for a 3-2 tie, game 2 Denver scored late with the extra attacker to send it to overtime and won in ot, game 3 was the nchc championship that we won in double ot.

Their backup is pretty good 7-0-0 last season

He completely stoned us in the gli final. Honestly wish we would have been up against Augustine

Congrats to your team on NCHC regular season and playoff titles. THANK YOU for beating Denver on Saturday night. I am so sick and tired of those hideous red uniforms and little Opie Taylor behind the bench.

Good luck going forward. Keep it in the NCHC.

Thanks! I'm going to be honest, it wasn't looking great for a while.... lol.  

I was watching with my father law who isn't really a college hockey fan, and he said "you can't lose to that redheaded guy". 

[Non-UND College Hockey 2024-25]

We're going to need you guys to come out and get loud for us.  We won't have more than a couple dozen fans way out there.  We were hoping for Toledo, with all of our Metro Detroit Alums we'd have that place packed. 

[UND and Western-Last call in St. Paul.]

Coming back here to say I hope you guys find the right coach and get back to the top quickly. 

 

Hoping our team doesn't get bounced in the 1st round like the last time we were a #1 seed.  You all might not have a NC in 10 years, but we haven't been out of the 2nd round.  

[UND and Western-Last call in St. Paul.]

I think UND is going to win this one.  We don't usually play well in the Frozen faceoff (other than that one time we beat you guys).

You guys are fun to watch, and the wrong team ended up with 2 points last night, or points at all for that matter.  

I'm hoping we don't see you guys if we make the NCHC with you.

That's usually how we feel when playing you guys. When you fire berry don't steal Herter... Deal? 

[UND @ WMU-A trip to the zoo.]

I can't help but think we let one get away from us last night. Good back and forth series, felt good celebrating with the Penrose against you all since it seems like you always clinch playing us.  

 

Maybe we'll see each other again in the semis.

I didn't realize that Western has 16 new players on this years squad from last year. They must have a decent amount of portal players? 

10 freshman, 6 portal guys.

That's what we do best!  Also FYI we keep the good beer downstairs in the skate rental area at Lawson.

Man, what a crushing game to watch if you’re a Bronco fan. Looks like Motzko has brought Minnesota back to prominence. In quite a short time too.

Yeah, it was devastating.  Shut out by minnesota of all teams?  Row the frickin' boat..... ugh. 

 

It'll be a long time until we have a team this talented again.  Unless Fersch can pull off some recruiting or transfer portal magic.

I was surprised by the number of W. Michigan Underclassmen.  I went and counted there roster and they have 31 players on the roster, so they have a bunch of upperclassmen also.  That is a lot of healthy scratches.    

All those covid seniors coming back means we have a ton of players.  I didn't realize it was THAT many, but hopefully that means the future is bright.

Same with Michigan hockey:   6 of their 9 titles between 1948 and 1956 and one in '64.   2 Banners in the last 57 years.   Mich, though, probably deserves powerhouse rating based on overall tournament performance.  

That's michigan in every sport.  Dozens of titles but most of them before the cold war against teams that are essentially high schools now.

I hope both teams come away healthy and meet a few Saturdays from now.  

Agreed, and also that one of us beats Michigan by 8+ on the way to that meeting.

I just hope everyone has fun.

So they had a full frickin' lineup (except not having an extra skater...the horror!), but for some reason couldn't play tomorrow with that exact same full lineup of players.
I'm glad Michigan is getting pummeled online for this decision, they deserve every bit of it.
I so wish MTU could've pulled off the win.

Schloss' comment on Twitter about "White jerseys tonight, white flags tomorrow night" made me LOL.

In my opinion that was the tweet of the year.

Man, WMU is schooling SCSU this weekend.
Didn't expect that.

The last 6 times we've played them in Kalamazoo we've won 6-2, 6-2, 6-2, 3-1, 6-2, and 4-0. We own them at Lawson.

Western Michigan with their ne logo missed on their center ice logo.

Dude, don't even get me started.  They changed the logo to a circle W, and get an opportunity to literally place the logo INTO A CIRCLE at center ice, and they use the letterhead edition.  

 

What the hell were they thinking lol.

Hard to change it to no goal after it was counted. Looks like it was touched below the crossbar height.

Tough way to lose, tough to beat that team in a 3 on 3 OT.  At  least with the pairwise changes it's not a full loss.  I wish we played them again early on, I fear by late december when we get them at Yost for the "gli" that team will be really really good.

You get the W 5-2, congrats!

Thanks, 

There is nothing better in this whole damn world than beating Michigan in anything. But beating "the greatest hockey team ever assembled" Michigan is even better.
