NORTH DAKOTA @ Denver

[yzerman19]

The Jones line plays up and down.  The other 3 lines cycle and play puck possession the entire game.  Borgstrom line draws the Bowen line or Gardner line as much as possible.

Is Olson going to be back for this weekend?  I was under the impression his injury was a bit more serious.

Doesn’t sound like he’s been practicing. Hoff was at least practicing last week so I’d say it’s more likely we see him before Olson...

Its up on Dave Berger's Twitter which is linked to the ss.com home page.  

Bobby was definitely dropping some fu and fo.

Correct, It has been blacked out for me each time a game is  on Altitude since i'm in their viewing area. Not sure how it would be if you weren't in their viewing area

I watched both games last weekend on NCHC.tv in Mpls.

Monty and his team have a very superior attitude.  But they are highly skilled and it will take an old fashioned hockey game  to soften them up.

These coaches are passionate competitors.  Hard to contain it.  Especially when you get swept off the #1 perch by a conference rival.

Borgstrom is so good.  He's a legit bluechip NHL first rounder- think Parise, Oshie, Toews, Zajac, Stafford, Boeser caliber in the college game.  He can win games by his individual skill alone.  Throw in legit prospects in Terry and Gambrell...they are real good.

Thanks for posting that.  It's not secret that Motzko was pretty pissed about some calls.  Apparently he was pretty pissed at Monty too.

Motzko is always pissed about calls.

Borgstrom needs to be looking around for where the next hit is coming from.

Denver-Schmenver. Enough of this "Monty's a great guy", "Borgstrom's a great player", "Denver's the greatest team ever" sandbagging,lovefest, crap. We're the University of Freaking North Dakota! Denver can kiss our arse. Where's Gwozdecky when you need him.

I really just want this weekend to prove a point that we are as good as our record. Getting annoying hearing how overrated we are all week... 

100% agree with this. I honestly do think we are slightly overrated, not much at all, but a little bit and I want the team to show me they are a top tier team, this year.

The extra point in the conference with a 2OT goal?

Yes, after winning straight-up on Friday this time.

He's sooooo butthurt that his team got outplayed. I'd love to know what triggered that, other than getting swept, of course.

It's so weird to think, and I still absolutely hate Denver, but I'm not sure if it it's us beating them in 2016 or UMD becoming rival No. 2 after their shenanigans in 2017, but we've seemed to soften on the Pios.... 

You're right, Runaround.... LET'S DOMINATE THIS WEEKEND.

When nchc.tv first started, almost all of DU's home games were not available. That seems to have changed this year, which is great! I also watched the Friday DU/SCSU game after UND's ended.

As much as some others want to think Monty's a great guy, I still don't like him. His comments about how much better his Maine team was in their title game sound pretty cocky. And his "congrats" to UND was more like "it just confirmed to me that our game with them was the real national title game"...as if QU wasn't #1 or 2 most of the year. Confidence gets you a long way in sports, though, and clearly he's doing well.

So if we lay a big enough hit on Borgstrom on Friday does Lucia ask Monty to sit him on Saturday?  #AskingForAFriend

I agree it's tough to see UND as the #3 team right now with some of our struggles, but I'm not sure who else can be put ahead of UND.  #4 Notre Dame lost to Sacred Heart and Omaha; #5 Mankato lost to Bowling Green and Northern Michigan; #6 Cornell could make an argument, but that's due mostly to a lack of games played.
