Ouch, not nearly so good as of late. Yup, need the PP to reignite to make any meaningful run.

Believe Midco and NCHC.tv can stream the quarter final games.

Like you, not sure what penalty the poster is referring to? If referring to the cross check/high stick to the goalie play you just referenced, you nailed it. Complete BS call was made against the Sioux.

A 5 days long (!) conference tourney ain’t necessarily working class friendly time and money-wise unless you happen to live in eastern S.D. Do it all on a wknd though (like the NCHC) and a bit more manageable for fans out of state but that will not happen though cus of tv dollars forked out for a week night Conf Tourney final game.

Word has it, Nelson is moving on following this season.

Why were the Gofers practicing in Rochester? Yes, agree, believe Rochester could and would fully support a USHL franchise.

That was such a BS goalie interference call.

I do believe so, MM. The only problem is the red cows sit on low end of the PW top 16 ranking so like UND also I would think they will be very motivated to at least advance to St Paul for conf tourney.

My same exact thought watching it live. Just go for it!

Glad you said that cus I was thinking along the same lines when I checked out their schedule and who a good portion of their wins have come against. I always thought PW ranking/grading system was damn near objective but not so sure about that anymore. Good Lord.

Not sure anybody really does but perhaps more wishful thinking based on a few factors? Minn this season, although having lots of young talent, was again a dumpster fire. UND should again be a good team next season so not really a step down if she went to UND vice staying at a struggling Power 5 conference team. She perhaps would like to play one season on same team with her older sister. UND is a bit closer to home/GF not big city lights metro area like Twin Cities so more like home for a NW Minn small town gal. Then again, maybe it’s all just conjecture. Only Kacie’s younger sister know for sure!

That’s exactly what I was thinking…

Agree, would never turn down any post-season tourney. Any time you can extend your season it can only benefit the players/team.

But now half the time we don’t even make the NCAA tourney so no shot at all at winning a natty. We always had that chance under previous coach while current coach only won the natty when handed the keys to a Cadillac.

Albeit still a tall task for this team but “only” need to win 2 out of 3 in 1st round of NCHC playoffs.

Wow! A low moment in Sioux hockey.

I am not even watching the shootout as I could care less. Both goalies should have an asterisk by their name for the shutout. Yuk.

Agree fully. And do we not have like 12 NHL recruits? Means nothing anymore in my book.

The master was the guy from St. Louis I believe. Decent player. Forget his name?

Ugly offensive display so far tonight. Reinforces if we do not get pp goals we are mediocre for most part offensively. We have struggled all night to maintain puck possession beyond 20 - 30 seconds. Tuff to watch at times.

Hmm, still a COVID year remaining perhaps?

Agree. Very sloppy, disjointed play.

Not mine. Very good video feed actually. I do wish UND’s quality of offensive play was better though.

What year is Vernon? If CC freshman sensation goalie out tonight has job locked up for next season maybe Vernon could find a new home at UND?

Oops, the last 7-1/2 periods hit 8 pipes.
