Does anyone know if Schloss is using the same coin to do a bracket this year? I don't think anyone is as confident of this team as least years team, for obvious reasons. BUT after all of the high talent teams that didn't win a title for so many years, wouldn't it be fitting to win it this year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We came into the NCHC tourney with an underdog attitude and played the best we have all year. Being overlooked in this tourney may be a good thing for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like every time UND put them in an uncomfortable position where the game was in question, their reaction was to start embellishing/diving. It takes away from how talented they are and makes their leadership look really bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes away from how talented they are and makes their leadership look really bad. Take away from it what you want, but they basically showed their cards last weekend. Don't think the officiating crews won't be aware and watching for some of that kind of stuff this weekend. That includes stuff on UND; Cole Smith's little love tap with his stick (which again resulted in the UMD player hitting the deck) probably should have been a penalty). No need for it. UMD will have to play on skill this weekend (which they are very capable of). But I don't think they will get away with the embellishments or the chippy stuff. After a heated game, with plenty of penalties and controvery, both teams will likely be under the microscope of the officials in the regional. UND needs to eliminate ALL of that from their game to be successful. Play like they did last weekend, and they will be fine. If someone takes a run at Cam (which I highly doubt happens), you help your goalie up, and let the refs deal with dishing out penalties one way, rather than getting drawn into coincidentals. I hope Berry stresses, no retaliation, all week. Stay out of the box, and retaliate on the scoreboard. I know nobody liked the Pionk run last weekend, BUT it is clear it distracted UND at the end of the period, and got UMD back into in the early second. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how if you look back over history, you can see that most of the games overseen by Todd Anderson are out of hand by the second period. Honestly I thought there were a couple bad calls against Duluth as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoDakFan Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I got Havahd against Denver, with Denver taking it all. They're just too good, and with their experience from last year, I don't think they'll be beat. I do have us beating Duluth to get to the FF though, so hopefully we can make a deeper run!

NorthDakotaHockey Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Read it first here. North Dakota - Michigan Tech. Unless it's Western Michigan - Michigan Tech? It's the ramblin' wreck's year. Sadly, perhaps, Tech's slipper will come off in during the championship game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm good either way. It would be really funny to see OSU beat them. Though it would be satisfying to see us beat them in that national tourney. Let them enjoy all the other wins against us, as long as we get the most important one. Probably the only time that 1>5! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farce poobah Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Going for the unconventional pick. Team that's never won it, that's not a #1 seed, but plays sturdy disciplined hockey, has a couple great scorers, and very solid goaltending: Western Michigan.
