Saturday night at the Rob

[Siouxperfan7]

Up to 3 is the Pairwise!!

[Hawkster]

And legend has it that UND always gets better after Christmas

[SiouxFan100]

Good for us 

how good are?

top ten? Hugger?

 

[Oldguy]

This was a good road performance.  Not very much mojo offensively, but they pulled a "Duluth" tonight, with the shut down, don't break mentality.  Held them to 1 goal, and took advantage when the opportunity arose.  I like the direction the team is going, but I would like to see more consistent offensive possession.

Fun fact:  the video feed from Robson is still up 10+ mins after the game.

Live-vlogging arena clean-up just might be the hottest new sensation in sports programming.

I was waiting for Ferris Bueller to come out and ask why we were still there!

It looked like a fun atmosphere there in the crowd when the cameras showed the breaks.  Mascot was having fun dancing in the student section for the dance cam.

Should have been a diving call on CC player. Kk even barely touched him.

We apparently are the only one to get embellishment calls against us. 

[SiouxFan100]

Missed all of tonight 

we must have played good

 Not number 1 but upper top five?

3 more points. And W. Michigan lost tonight. 

I really didn't think this team had a shot at the NCHC regular season title, but with how much other teams keep beating up on each other, anything's possible.

Video is back.  Overhead goal cam.

Could be a long night waiting to see what happens next.

Difference to me so far is that UND took care of business against the two bottom tier teams, Miami and CC, and some of the other teams have gave up points against them.

How is it possible they've already played 19 games? That's more than half the season.  Not a powerhouse at all, but they'll start January pretty high in the pairwise.  While the sweep of Denver looms large, the real accomplishment was salvaging splits out of four weekends against good to great teams that seemed too much for UND to handle after one night. 

The second half looks very tough, with Cornell on top of the NCHC grind that will include match-ups with an apparently very good WMU team that we haven't seen yet.  All in all this team has been a pleasant surprise.

The CC player literally tried to slide and crawl to the boards to try get a 5.  Awful call.

Pretty nice job by Hellsten. Seems confident handling the puck and moving it, pretty quick recoveries, didn't seen to get wildly out of position, and was a battler.  Hopefully rebound control will improve. 

Also, Jammer is becoming one of the team's best and most important players.  Just relentless.

That whole line plays like Junk Yard Dogs

Grab a six-pack of Mt Dew and some Doritos. You can do this. Inquiring minds need to know!

Apparently our 47th straight win when leading after the second period.

Is that really correct?

My son and I were concentrating so hard on the game play by play we didn't realize till afterward that Senden was out!

[Godsmack]

I’m late to the party as I just got home from the game. Why was Senden a late scratch? 
 

Also, in the post game interview Coach Mayotte felt the refs were trying hard to look for something to call all night. I would agree with that assessment. The succession of tripping calls, while maybe some or all of them may have been legit, but didn’t anyone else notice CC getting away with a high elbow to the head in the second period that the refs naturally missed? Of all the things they called in the 2nd and they missed an actual dirty play??? Wow.

[Goon]

This is a great tweet.

Honestly, that's a great assessment. I thought the refs struggled this weekend. The linesmen were brutal, too. Honestly, after the SCSU vs. Minnesota game, how does Stern still have a job? We have the best conference in college hockey, but our officials could be a lot better. I find myself wishing the Shepherds were still officiating.

If UND gave out a seventh player award for the first half, I think that Louis Jamernik would be that player. He's taken a huge step forward and is a complete player that plays a 200-foot game.
