My bad 

[SuhakiYeahYeah]

Well the Ralph was rockin!!!!!

[SiouxScore]

Much needed win

What an effort from Blake in OT for the winner

Need to be back it up with another win tomorrow

[tnt]

No five minute majors tomorrow, and why not just stay out of the box period.

[Oldguy]

The jump they played with in the 3rd has been missing all season.  Where the hell has that pace been?  Go do it again.

Gaber said it was the best pass Hain has made in his whole life

That'll be difficult with Kleven back in the lineup and NCHC officials.

They played great in the 1st and 3rd.
If they buried a couple in the 1st, they might not have needed OT.

It was a great pass.

Win tomorrow, hope Miami can upset Omaha, then hope either St. Cloud or Omaha sweeps each other next week.  Of course, UND has to keep winning.

So is this an actual "win" win or is it a 55/45 win.

2/3 win, 1/3 loss as far as pairwise is concerned.

I'm hoping UND can finish in 5th and have UNO finish 4th.  If SCSU finishes 4th, UND would have to travel there and face them on their big sheet (didn't go so well earlier this year).  I like our chances in Omaha much better to advance to the Frozen Faceoff.

Now THAT'S how you prove a point after that 5min penalty.

Yes Gaber two goals.  Good thing the officials did not pull a Kleven on that 5:00 or no Gaber goals.

Easy

Blake w/ the MVP tonight. Gaber reprieved himself with the goals. But Blake was the key

Yuck no decent broadcast.  Maybe the good announcers at Denver (sometimes they have a good pair), St Cloud can be ok but the rink terrible, Omaha one of the worst, WMU is poor.    But then again regarding home broadcasts we are spoiled :).

Slim chances, unless Miami can beat Omaha, but it is still possible to finish ahead of Omaha, since we play them. Guessing St. Cloud doesn’t lose out the rest of the way, so either scenario is pretty unlikely, but UND just has to play well and have at least a little mojo going into post season.

What are the tiebreakers if the points are tied for standings?

Is he or is it a multiple game suspension being that was number 4 on the yeat?

[Sweethockey]

After tonight, why not just sit Kleven?

That is absurd!

If it helped with team discipline in the future it wouldn’t be a bad thing, however we are well past the rest of the players taking it seriously this far in, much like when Rhett Gardner was finally benched.

On the winning goal, UND freshman winger Jackson Blake circled behind the net and attempted a wraparound. The puck slid out to the right circle, where Gaber picked it up and fired it past Husky goaltender Dominic Basse.

"That was probably the coolest moment of my life. . . one of the coolest moments," Gaber said. "That was on my bucket list to score one of those at The Ralph. This place means so much to me. It's pretty cool to have that."

Gaber skated to center ice, where he was mobbed by his teammates.

"It was everything I thought it would be," Gaber said. "I tried to take it in. I looked up at the crowd and tried to take everything in, because obviously, this place is so special. We're extremely fortunate to be able to put on that jersey and play in this building."

McLaughlin certainly made that first goal look easy.  So smooth.  
if he starts potting regularly, we get a lot harder to beat.
