Cripes, huge difference. That really cries out that we have difficulty scoring 5 on 5 (which we have all season).  Not sure about our 2nd goal but I do know the 1st goal was in effect scored on the power play.

Kunz even strength, Gaber on the PP. Agreed... it was frustrating to watch chance after chance not be put away. I think we had 4 (maybe 3) pipes. Such a fun, but frustrating game. Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Possibly our best weekend of the season, but lots of missed opportunities to get a sweep.

UND has three pipes on Saturday, one in each period. I remember talking with that with @ScottyWaz in the press box.

Blake's pipe in the 3rd with just a couple minutes left would have blown the roof off the place and been a good reward for a strong weekend from him.

If that goes in the place blows up with noise. The building was really thumping during the second period.

puck was open clear and dreger f'd up and won't admit it.

I agree.  It was only fair they waited when clowns scored on a similar puck loose call.  But a pretty fast whistle on the Sioux.

The crowd was really into both games - like the atmosphere used to be.  If Berry can't use that as a recruitment tool we are in deep trouble - and also in deep trouble if we lose the crowd.

Rewatching the games, I noticed how "clumsy" SCSU was in open ice ... namely around Frisch and behind the play.

After he'd move a puck up they seemed to make a late wide-swing turn with their head the other way and ended up "accidentally" bumping Frisch. Strangely, they "accidentally" bumped Frisch more than the other UND D combined. And a few of the "bumps" were at speeds to knock him down. 

I'm surprised the officials didn't pick up on that ... or not.

Thanks for the laugh this morning

If they'd only let them take their dog out with them maybe the dog would smell what's cookin'. 

 

Before folks jump on me, I wore stripes at lower levels. It's not easy, but some things that keep "happening" should be noticed. And at times NCHC officials have the same problem as our team in our zone -> puck hypnosis: they lock onto the puck and miss what's really happening around them. And (repeating myself ad infinitum, ad nauseum) the second referee should be in the press box.
