Blake got too fancy with that.

My same exact thought watching it live. Just go for it!

Dare I say this team might have a shot in Omaha next weekend?

I do believe so, MM. The only problem is the red cows sit on low end of the PW top 16 ranking so like UND also I would think they will be very motivated to at least advance to St Paul for conf tourney.

This team has hit enough posts this year to replace the fence at Siouxland Buffalo west of town.

Maybe it's a Rocco Grimaldi trained team last off season?

Took me a bit to grasp your reasoning,  Grimaldi has entered my mind as a coach prospect.   No idea if coaching is part of his plan forward, just thoughts in an idle mind.

Has anyone commented about the coaches challenge on Jandric’s goal regarding the fact that it appeared Tychonick had pulled Schmaltz’s stick the opposite direction and when he dove to block the shot, it looked like he released and Schmaltz pulled his stick back the opposite way and that’s why it appeared he’d interfered with the goalie.

Not that re-litigating it matters at this point but this morning was my first real opportunity to watch it so it got me thinking.

Looked back at it just now, made it even more clear that the stick was grabbed and forced into that position, it's a good goal 10 times out of 10.

That means Johnny T was responsible for both goals last night

Lol

That was such a BS goalie interference call.

If we would have had DeRidder 2.0 all season things would be vastly different.

Or Driscoll or Scheel, hell even Thome might have us inside the bubble

On a marginally related matter:   Jandric has really been good this year.

If I were the Omaha coach, that five-minute timeout gave me a chance to shorten the bench for the last few minutes.  Challenging that goal early in the game would have been a waste of a timeout.

Glad the refs got the call right.

Dillon Simpson would be a great coach. Sucks his career here ended the way it did, but he captained a team that made a major turn around despite hiccups and always sounded like a coach in interviews.

I thought exactly the same thing and was hoping one of three officials looking at the play caught that.  Johnny T held our player's stick into Kucharski's head.  It's still a goal whether the stick is there or not but JT didn't do his goalie any favors in the third period.

I was also surprised Jake never mentioned it either during the review.

So last night when CC was leading, she says, “If CC ends up playing at Omaha, we should fly out there for the series next weekend!” I was like, “That sounds great!”

Fast forward to after both the UND and CC games, and I’m like, “So we’re still going to Omaha next weekend right??!!” And she’s like, “He*# no!”

Hennessy did after he saw the replay.

Another great possibility,  I don't know Dillon's story.... oh great & wise Google, don't fail me now...

It looks like there is a teachable moment here.

It’s crazy how good goaltending can make a coach look like a genius, whereas poor goaltending can make a coach look like a…a…like a guy who’s not gonna coach here much longer.

Our team D has been a lot better too though. What did his numbers look like Friday night?

DeRidder handled 5 less shots than the Omaha goalie.

Yeah..I guess my point was that he had another game with a sub 90% save percentage. Which is not good. But yet everyone is happy, because we won. I was too, but those numbers still aren’t good.

and I’ve never sat here and bashed the goalies…numbers have been really bad all season, but I’ve put more on the team D.

last night we locked down and DeRidder was solid.

I meant the pipe shooting. Seemed he hit iron more than net...

Here's a hint, it starts with a number, ends with a number, and there's a period in thr middle. Blah
