NORTH DAKOTA vs. DU - THURSDAY F4 Gameday

[Sioux>Bison]

I guess the Hockey Least officials were upset their team was knocked out earlier in the day. 

The officiating really got to the players and berry and knocked us off our game. We can let that happen on sat

I note the Pacific Rim line was minus 5 tonight.

Clearly, they are better than the CCM line.

Also, I was impressed - again! - with Cam Johnson.   When some other guys got nervous, he stayed focused.   Hats off to Cam.

First, this thread is a reminder of how many total losers post here.

second, players of the game for me Ladue and Poolman.  Just amazing defensive performances.

Tip of the hat to Cam Johnson. He was dialed/locked in tonight! The goals allowed were really nothing he could do about. Great performance from him tonight!

Great win for the SIOUX!!!

 

Worst officiating I've seen in years.

My brain is broken right now. The only thought that is coming to it is pure happiness!!!

I love my fellow Sioux fans, but it was flat out embarrassing how so many gave up and basically turned on the team when things got dicey.  Where's that North Dakota resilience?

I got called a bandwagon fan by a Gopher fan, I guess we are at that status now?

Congrats to the team! And nicely done calling the score, AZSioux!

[Cratter]

One more game!

He made some incredible saves tonight, played a great game, and gave us a chance to win it late.  Gotta have that kind of goaltending to have any chance of winning a Frozen Four game.

Glad I didn't start reading the thread until the last couple pages so that I didn't see any of that garbage from the fair weather crowd.

I follow the live chat during games and don't keep up with the game thread here. Finally finished reading through to catch up and wow you weren't kidding. I do sympathize though as I'm sure all of those folks were having immediate flashbacks of past UND Frozen Four semifinal games where the team folded. This years team has shown it can persevere when facing adversity! Keep the faith!

"North Dakota . . . The SIOUX. . ."

 

Hell YEAH!!!

[Wildfan]

I know North Dakota blocked alot of shots tonight, it was up to 15 after either the 1st or 2nd. Poolman had atleast 6 himself.

Those back to back blocks were freaking amazing. Blocks a shot gets up and takes ripper right to the chest and still keeps going. Just beastly

Wonder who Coach Berry will go with if Luke can't go on Saturday.  l know he'll go if he possibly can, but the fact that he couldn't return tonight makes it look doubtful for Saturday.

Shots	1	2	3	T
Denver	4	9	10	23
North Dakota	4	9	10	23

Team	Pen-PIM	PPG-PPO
Denver	1-2	0-4
North Dakota	4-8	0-1

 

 

I can't locate a blocked stats final, but to end up with equal number of shots after being short handed an extra 6 minutes, great shutdown and shot blocking. Those blocked shots were huge, typically when a team has 3 more powerplays the shots are lopsided.

17 in the lineup, and it's a story that plays for years to come. That's my hope.
