DU can be beat as we proved if you can shut down that top line. I like our chances against them if we are skating 4 lines and have the albrecht line or Jammer line paired against them. Having 2 good checking lines gives us better chance that one of them can match with that DU Savoie line. I hope we play Denver in the league tourney.

Could be top 10 play for this week if NCHC can find the footage.

By small I don’t mean the PennRose is a small achievement. But we have to focus on the goal at hand and that is winning the league now that we reached our goal of home ice. One goal at a time so to speak.

For right now we need laser focus to win the PennRose. Small goals lead to bigger goals down the road.

I noticed the same thing right away. how could you just forget to put in the game winning goal. Let them play games while we win games. Very petty of the NCHC. We’re gonna win the PennRose anyway.

The more I watch that Albrecht replay that maybe should have been a penalty shot the refs did not call.

It also appears that on the Albrecht breakaway chance that the Duluth player may have thrown his stick when I watched the game highlights on NCHCtv

The refs were very consistent last night but the no call for the slash on UMD and then shortly after calling us for the identical penalty was totally inconsistent. We not only beat Duluth tonight we beat the refs too.

The no call when Frisch got his stick slashed out of his hand to put us on a 5 on 3 and then calling the identical penalty on us with 3:00 left was complete bush league officiating.

Michigan hockey also tried to hide their covid cases at the Fargo Regional from what is now coming out. Not a real class act there in Ann Arbor.

All comes out in the wash. Western could possibly play them in the tournament.

Western is imo better than Duluth but we played with them fairly even in their barn. Our D corps is turning heads and our young guys have turned it up a notch especially the 4th line. I think we matured a lot tonight as a team. Driscoll was huge down the stretch in this one too. When you can skate 4 lines all night it is huge imo as it creates favorable matchups not only for your 1-3 lines but Berry can put Ness, Portz and Albrecht out against lines that they match up favorably with.

I hope there is a tv angle for a suspension. Announcers were pretty quiet about why Sandy wouldn't put Biondi out in last couple minutes. Quite a classless move by Sandy. Kid should have got ran by Kleven. Duluth has no class.

Grindaz with a side of talent

We speak now, tonight, and then these things are never spoken of again, agreed? That's the line.

I'm just kidding I can't remember the movie where I think Rauel Julia said that.

Of this we will never speak again

Our D corps is lights out and our young guys are getting confidence. Our 4th line is the difference. Not many teams have 4 good lines. Not great but 4 real good lines may be better than one great line and hold your breath when the 3rd and 4th lines are out there.

I hope there is a camera view for the league to review. Sounds like a suspension

Why didn’t Berry challenge? Duluth is cheap

We weren’t far away from that last night the way the D was hammering the puck. Still need a screen so maybe 3 shooters.

I am waiting for his power play wrinkle where we have 4 shooters ready for one timers. Karl is a mastermind as far as power plays go.

I would think that Karl will be the next coach when Berry retires. Karl in my opinion is the best choice assuming they stay in house when Berry retires which may be quite a few years.

I said the call was consistent with how the game was called all night. I said I felt it was a major also but the call was consistent with how they called the game all night. Both teams had no calls on obvious penalties so I felt the game was called very consistently.

We have some good young players and a very good fourth line.
