I watched the Kleven video:  really?  That's five and the gate these days?  

Frattin would've been sent to Supermax for what he did

Watched it several times and slowed it down. That is a coin flip 2 minute penalty for charging at most.

I am not going to waste time arguing with people who think anyone who disagrees with them is "acting like a child".

I almost missed the fact that we have yet another stretch of 3 or more goals in a row given up to an opponent this season…I can’t remember the count on that but I think it’s happened double-digit times this season.  That’s absolutely crazy.

Yeah, but we're doing better on the not giving up goals in the first or last two minutes of periods.

I grew up near GF but live in Boulder CO now, with DU season tickets. I thought that UND played with energy and purpose Friday night. If anything, they dominated play. Except that their aggressive play led to lapses. And, it’s hard to win with dumb aggression, with major penalties and game misconducts. I get that it’s a fierce rivalry, but arguably, with emotions better checked, the outcome could have been very different.

Now that I have had time to think it was not reffing that cost the game.  It did not help but did not cost game however 2 for 14 on the PP not good for the weekend. 3 for 7 PK not good. Also they kept saying that our 5x5 play was better than Denver but at one point the SOG was 11 to 30!! 

Bad Special teams + shaking goaltending+ bad defense =bad time

So, in 5 straight trips to Denver UND has taken a major. Might want to, I don't know, make this a point next time they go to Denver.

That’s just part of the fun of being an opposing team playing in Denver.

I said last night Berry looked lost on the bench , not coming out for the interview he’s an assistant coach not a head coach. Players  regress under his watch , come play at ND where good players come to get mediocre and maybe that’s why the recruiting is stagnant he is still playing that grind/dump and chase style. Someone posted last night that Denver plays fast is was very evident the different styles this weekend / all four games against them. 

Exactly this - and it makes me worry about the future of our program.  We used to be the program that Blue Chippers went to in order to develop into NHL players (remember Parise) - now we're not and players know it.  The odds of Berry adapting are slim and none.  It always amazes me that many coaches who are extremely knowledgeable have a huge blind spot when it comes to their "system".  Time to right this ship before we slip any more.  Recruiting will become increasingly difficult - just look at our inability to recruit and develop a top goalie.

you get crap for communicating like a grade school drop out and act like getting high quality recruits is just all about wanting them...

Of course there is more to it - like selling our program, tradition, facilities, fan base, high profile destination games, player development, and the chance to be in the hunt every year.  If our coaches can't do that then we need new coaches.  Of course things have changed but when we are going to St. Clown and expecting to get our a**** kicked there is something not right.

HOW DID HAIN GET A 5 AND THEY DIDN'T

Can someone who watched the game help me out. I heard this skirmish on the radio on my way to a friends surprise birthday party and finally saw the replay today, but just the action, not what followed. Hennessey was obviously describing the action that started with Caponi's cheap shots. 

So the refs went into the video review to determine whether Caponi should get a major for head contact. Did Denver ask for a review of a possible missed major on Hain or had a linesman see it and brought it to refs attention because they obviously did not call a penalty on Hain during live action as UND had control of the puck and play continued. Because if neither of these things happened I am pretty sure the rulebook does not allow you to find a penalty that you had missed while looking at a play that happened 10 seconds later unless either the linesman had brought it to your attention or Denver bench had asked for a review for a possible major as they can't review for a possible minor penalty they missed

Adding 15-52 seconds on the opposite side of the 2: still leaves plenty of room for improvement.
