tnt Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I think more people would be upset if we had crapped the bed in our other non conference games and absolutely had to have the regulation win to make up for it, but this will look good on our resume down the road because of the anticipation that BU will only get better with their young studs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post burd Posted November 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2023 As well as this team has played against teams like BU, it's pretty amazing that no player on D had played a minute of hockey in a UND jersey or with any other player on the team. I think I've got that right. It's even more surprising that they seem so steady under forecheck pressure, something that requires a lot of communication and coordination. They screw up at times, but a lot less frequently than could be expected under their circumstances. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxfaninseattle Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 So I have an idea for OT. How about 5x5 for 20 minutes, sudden death. Winner gets all the points. No? Yeah, pretty radical idea. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Through These Doors has it with TH's call...here it is with the timestamp already cued to the OT winner. TH is a little more excited than the homer BU announcers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YALppp8x6YY&t=347s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No? Yeah, pretty radical idea. Or even just 10 minutes. How can a game be determined by a something (3x3) that NEVER happens in the first 60.

The Sicatoka Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I've never liked playing a different, second game (3x3) to decide a game (5x5); and, l like even less a skills competition to decide the first and second games. Do I like all the number-fiddling* that comes with 3x3 then SOs when it comes to RPI and PWR calcs? No. What I will say is I'd rather win in regulation, but if that doesn't happen I rather win in OT than lose in OT or regulation. * 2/3 of a win? Is that like making it 2/3 of the way with the homecoming queen**? ** someone explain to our NDSU friends what that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smaller schools felt they couldn't compete with the bigger schools with more talented players. Everyone just needs to go back to 5x5 for 10 minutes and dump the shootout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but then we don’t get a winner or loser if we allow ties. What would people do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
