They definitely need to come up with a rule that you lose your timeout regardless of the outcome of a challenge if you use excessive time to challenge by making your goalie stall so you can check to see if it is close enough to challenge.

I don't know what refs do before games, but if they ever get together to talk they need to address that. That is straight bush league.

Goalie gear problem? From the time you let to official know (to hold play) to you being ready: 30 seconds. If you aren’t done you must leave the ice for a shift for a replacement goaltender to allow completion of “repairs”. 

[KCSioux]

Q has a really good team. Our freshman forwards are legit. Excited to see this team play in Vegas. 

[bcblues]

What a great comeback! Nice to see a team that doesn't roll over when they get in a hole! Tonight will be interesting!

[Kab]

Will the refs warn Q about the slow shenanigans they did last night?

I hope Rand Peckerhead has the wings at the Tavern tonight.

I had an encounter with Rand a few minutes ago at the CanadInn…the water park opens at 9 am.  He complained to hotel management that my kids were in there a half-second early and after ten minutes of him whining about it along with a review of the security video, they were finally allowed back in.

Yep…goalies aren’t stealing anything. But high % scoring opps do go in from time to time. And we definitely don’t have high end tendy’s so we better clean up the dzone coverage issues.

I think we could make the argument that any of the goalies were very good on Friday. That happens sometimes. I think that I might cut the goalies on both teams some slack. JMHO. What a game to watch and be at. Amazing.

Here's some more photos from Friday's 5-5 tie.

At the very least, they should have told him that he either needed to replace his goaltender or take a timeout. The fact that they allowed him to challenge after that long delay was insane. I assume he didn’t ask for the challenge until after the stall.

That was the whole point of the equipment “malfunction” I’ve played and reffed for almost 30 years I don’t ever remember seeing a part of the toe come loose on a goalie.

Well, the penalty that put them on a 5-3 was, I believe, a direct result of Rand being an ass....most of the time, that gets looked over, if you are already on a kill....it was a legit penalty, tho

While QU had more blocks than UND 17-13, credit to Frisch who led all players with 8 blocks.
No one else from UND had more than one. 

What were the shot attempts?  I would guess that contributed to the Q's statistical lead in that category.

I’m not sure how you attend that game and come away disappointed or dwelling on the negatives when there’s so much to be excited about. A tilt between 2 or the best in the country, wow that was fun. Don’t think the Ralph’s been that loud in October since some of the early season Gopher series in the WCHA. 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrot]

Berry couldn't sit still in the interview with Alex and Jake immediately afterwards. He's not one to fidget like that normally, adrenaline was still pumping. Contrast what happened in our game to Denver and Duluth.

Such is part of our fan base, they love to be miserable. Probably makes them feel good about their shortcomings, by expecting perfection from others.  Most great teams build throughout the year and go through ups and downs and adversity here and there.  I think it is exciting that our freshmen are performing great already, and how that might translate after Christmas.  Having that comeback against a very good team is another positive to put in their recall when the next adversity hits, and remember we have depth in case injury adversity crops up.  Glass very much half full in my eyes.

Glad to see Jackson Blake on this team.  Hope he stays at least another year.

And I think some people just need too much out of a game that is played by other people.   It gives them more anxiety than anything, which is a pity, since hockey is a wonderful game and a pleasure to watch, especially college hockey.   Almost as good as watching a bunch of 5-year-olds chase the puck around the ice.

Blake, James, and McGlaughlin could all use the training facilities for a few years to make the transition to the next level.  Being slight of frame and an 82 game schedule don’t go hand in hand. Tyson Jost could probably tell them that two or three years could benefit them, especially when James and Blake are true freshmen to begin with. If their NHL teams are smart, they won’t rush them, like Colorado did with Jost.  We know Philadelphia already tried to rush McGlaughlin by trying to sign him last summer. Would love to see all of them around when Jaden Perron and Panzer get here. That could be return to the “Speed Kills” days!

[burd]

I wonder if anyone else thinks watching this team is a little like watching the Panzer Bros. teams.

Oh yeah, this freshman class has speed. Then add 8, 17 and 18. There's a lot of firepower and skill. 

 

[siouxfaninseattle]

Very fun game to watch. The delays by Q were classic dasher dancer moves. The freshmen are really good. It's going to be a fun year!

[Vegas_Sioux]

From the herald. The coaches still aren’t happy about the review.

The earlier start times make it harder for some people to get there in time.

i've mentioned the dropping attendance for a while now....no reason there isn't a packed house every night

That should have been 2 minutes delay of game.

I want an explanation for these questionable calls/non calls. Let’s hear Schmitty try to spin those ones!
