Especially fine line with refs who have been turning the western game into a figure skating contest. The games back east are getting more physical than the NCHC. 1 Quote

Cratter Posted March 16, 2018 Author Posted March 16, 2018 With UND's hundreds (if not thousands) of unique was to get into or out of the tournament, I think Jim Dahl's next project should be a "real time" analysis of who UND fans need to cheer for for them to have the most likely scenarios of making the tournament. 1 Quote

I thought the refs allowed a fair amount of physicality and didn’t seem to be making up the rules as they went along. Result was was consistent with our problems throughout the season. Rather than taking a step forward from the good play the past few weeks we played at about the same level. Not horrible but not enough finishers to get the job done. SCSU tic tac toe goal was remindful of our top line in 2016. Nice play nice goal. Not Cams fault I didn’t think. Was screened pretty good. Cam played great. Will he get the start today? I assume so. As the game went on I thought our passing and trust in each other went south. SCSU speed had something to do with it I suppose. Hak used to preach shorten up the passes and tighten up on pick support in these situations. Who was supporting Rieger on the game ending turnover? Last guy up the ice should not be the guy with the puck and our backward passing entry plays put us in that situation far too often. But I don’t blame the coaches for turning the D loose either. Seemed like our only chance to score at the time and get back into the game. It did result in some odd man rushes with Cam having to save the day. Ok ok I’ll shut up and go do my taxes. Quote

BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Very disappointing day in hockey for UND fans yesterday. An unusual set of circumstances arose on the last day(Princeton/BU+more) and UND and MN were eliminated late in the day. MN and Duluth weren't decided till Notre Dame won in OT. Four of the conferences had underdog winners. Duluth wins by 0.0001 QWB Adj by RPI Tank Team RPI Adj RPI QWB QWB Adj by RPI 12 Duluth 0.5373 0.5373 0.0031 0.5404 13 Minnesota 0.5338 0.5338 0.0065 0.5403 Quote
Oxbow6 Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Attendence yesterday at the X was 113xx. Another nice crowd. Quote
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Message boards at UND, MN, Boston C had high activity yesterday. Three teams (and in top 16 PWR) that normally would be in the NCAA's that didn't make it this year, reason being we had 4 upsets in conference championships as I mentioned in prior post. Here's the last 4 spots of top 16 of PWR as the season ended. 13 Minnesota 14 North Dakota 15 Boston University 16 Boston College which will be replaced by following conference tourney winners. 15 Boston University 17 Princeton 21 Michigan Tech 27 Air Force Quote

Figured if it was last game of season we wanted to see it. Lots and lots of green. My guess is 70% of fans for the 338 game were UND fans. Having this tournament at the X is a complete 180 vs that dump in Minneapolis. 3 Quote
sioux rube Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Well run tourney. Fan fest across the street from the X was fun. Good food and a bit cheaper beer than in the X. Spent 3 hours there yesterday before the game. Liver needs a rest. Quote
