4-0, DU now. DU has outscored CC 18-0 in four games so far this season.

Hopefully CC isn't saving all their goals until next weekend.

Be ready for Mayotte to dig into his old bag of tricks and challenge any and all non-calls. He did that again last night.

Doesn't seem to bother DU at all.   

[SiouxFanatic]

UND started its win streak by winning two games against CC after UND dropped a game to UNO just before. Might as well get a new streak going.

Sucks to share regular season title with DU but considering UND and DU(aka the top 2 teams) didn’t play each other four times, sort of fitting. SORT OF.

I'd much sooner play CC than Miami.

Omaha is another team that could take a step back next season unless they can retain any of their players for a 5th year.
5 of their top 7 scorers are seniors and their 2nd leading scorer, JR dman Scanlin, will probably get some interest to sign as a free agent.

I've heard they've got a kid who could come over in the portal that's a legacy.....

As Bob Seger would say turn the page.  It would worry me to go into the playoffs red hot.  Even if the league tourney doesn't go well.  I would be more worried if we were still red hot.  Need to catch fire for the national tourney.

UPDATE: CC just scored to make it 4-1, DU. So you’re saying there’s a chance? (Not really, but fun to dream)

Holy crap, first goal scored against DU all season!  Do you believe in miracles?!?

Nevermind. That dream ended quickly. 5-1, DU now.

I did for about 4 minutes until we just gave up a shorty.

I said it on an earlier thread, but I'd take Ward here for a bonus year in a second.  Kid can flat out score.

It’s up to him, if he would actually like to be on a team that has a chance to win some hardware. 

[Siouxperfan7]

This was the last loss for this team this year. Going on an 8 game winning streak starting Friday!!

Yeah, after that Cornell series I was burying this team and calling for the Swede full time.

Two years ago we were supposed to be hosting CC in the NCHC tournament before Covid ended things.  Now two years later we are back to the norm.

It feels like a lifetime ago, but I vaguely recall looking forward to the opportunity to end their season before the world went mad. Wasn't Wilkie kinda being a dipstick?

I believe you’re right and Wilkie is nothing compared to Tychonik. That kid is a real dipstick.

Considering UND swept DU how is it they get the 2 seed?

Uneven season series (only two games, and in REA) so the head-to-head tiebreaker does not apply. 

Next tiebreaker is conference regulation wins and DU has 17 and UND has 16, but both have 53 point so title is shared. 

                     GP    PTS    Pt%    RW    RL    OW    OL       
1    Denver          24    53    .736    17    6     1            
     North Dakota    24    53    .736    16    5     2     1  

  All the tiebreaker means is DU gets the tournament top seed.

I understand that but I still don’t like it. Regardless of not an even series UND should have the edge as they played DU twice and won. Who comes up with these rules.

Either the ads, coaches, or university presidents when they meet to discuss the rules for conference games.

I don't know.  I think all you have to do is look at our season series with WMU to see why that tiebreaker rule is in place.  I don't have a problem with it.

Honestly, it shouldn't have mattered.  I felt the team was a bit too amped up on Friday, and it cost them the regulation win.  If they had played the way they'd been playing in the month leading up to it, no problem, and no tie with DU.
