PCM Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Duluth radio announcer says DU is dominating the second period. Dora rings a shot off the post. Pioneers go on the power play. Quote
redwing77 Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Dora is doing alright. It's on ESPN2 if you want to watch the game. The commentators are giving UMD quite a bit of airtime. Reichmuth is doing very well.... until I wrote this. 2-1 UMD. Fuljum (sp?) with the goal. Quote
PCM Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 UMD's still leading 2-0 with more than half the second period gone. DU had some great opportunities, but Reichmuth made big saves. Edit: Never mind. UMD 2, DU 1 Quote
elmduf Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 5-0. But it still hurts. I think the Sioux are 8-1-1 against both these teams...and yup, it still hurts. I'm cheering the Dogs because of Sandy, plus the Denver media here drives me up the #$#%# wall.... you would think that DU is a perennial power the way they talk. Quote
PCM Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 If I remember correctly, DU is 17-0-2 when Luke Fulghum gets a point. Quote
PCM Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 UMD scores on the power play. They lead 3-1. 3:38 left in the second period. Quote
cfm567b27 Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 If I remember correctly, DU is 17-0-2 when Luke Fulghum gets a point. That is the winner. NO WAY Denver will come back. That 3rd goal just broke their back. Quote
WPoS Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Hey WPoS . . . . I thought you'd be in Boston. Too painful? I thought YOU were going to be there ...not too painful, just too expensive! WPoS Quote
cfm567b27 Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 That is the winner. NO WAY Denver will come back. That 3rd goal just broke their back. Not only was that goal the winner - it was the wrap on the Hobey as well. Quote
PCM Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Not only was that goal the winner - it was the wrap on the Hobey as well. The Hobey was decided last week. Quote
elmduf Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 How does the Hobey voting work...do they vote up to this point, or is it over? PCM...help us with your wisdom! edit...never mind. PCM is too fast. Quote
sprig Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Cheap shot Dora takes a stupid penalty in the Duluth end, and Lessard restores the 2 goal lead; gotta love it. Hache let them play more that period, but Denver has also stopped holding and tackling. I would have loved several first periods in the WCHA to have been called that way this year. Quote
airmail Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 If Lessard doesn't win the Hobey, there ought to be an investigation. ~ UMD radio announcers. (These guys are excited!) Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 A.B.T.G., I'm going to quote my Italian grandfather here when I tell you to "shut your canole hole!" and quit crying! UND lost a one-game playoff. It's as simple as that. Regular season, WCHA Final Five, blah blah blah. None of that matters in a one-game series. I believe Herb Brooks said it best when he told the 1980 USA kids that the Soviets might beat them 9 times out of 10...but you just never know about that 10th game. My hats off to Denver regardless of what happens today. My issue isn't with why or how they beat North Dakota, it's how UND suddenly has developed the choker reputation. Since 1997, UND is 2-4 in WCHA playoff championship games. 1998 NCAA playoffs: 0-1 1999 NCAA playoffs: 0-1 2003 NCAA playoffs: 0-1 2004 NCAA playoffs: 1-1 And maybe it's just me, but this year's loss to DU was eerily similar to the 1999 BC game. You could see the panic on the players' and Dean's face from the middle of the first period on to the end. I think Dean is more comfortable with the "unexpected" teams (like 1997 or 2000) than he is with coaching teams with expectations of nothing less than the national title. That's all I have for now.

NorthDakotaHockey Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Did Denver just score?? Actually twice. THIS GAME IS TIED! Quote
NorthDakotaHockey Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Two goals in thirty-four seconds. What's that sound coming down from I-35E? Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 How about that? Denver sucks, Denver shouldn't be there, North Dakota's better...sounds like they're giving UMD a tussle. By the way, I am pulling for UMD, but I wanted Denver to show me why they belonged in the Frozen Four. It would appear that they are. Quote
Siouxhockey03 Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 denver scores to make it 4-3! go denver Quote
Supertrex Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 How about that? Denver sucks, Denver shouldn't be there, North Dakota's better...sounds like they're giving UMD a tussle. By the way, I am pulling for UMD, but I wanted Denver to show me why they belonged in the Frozen Four. It would appear that they are. I don't get your point since at no time did Denver outplay UND during that game they way the are outplaying UMD today... Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 I really can't judge how they're "outplaying" UMD on the basis of some posts on a message board. I did watch the UND/DU game and personally, I don't think UND "dominated" that game at all. But since we're going to comment about DU's play today, I believe an earlier poster stated that DU looked like they were happy just to get to the Frozen Four. It would appear now they are not. Quote
NorthDakotaHockey Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 The Dogs and their fans have to be feeling about the way the Sioux and all of us were feeling some days back in the third period . . . . Quote
