Well .67 or whatever- this was a win! On the road. Vs a good pairwise opponent. Never lost lead  in the game. Growth as a team. Confidence in each other and coaches. Against poor refs. 
This was a mega success all in all.

.67 for an OT win x 1.2 for a road win = .804 of a win + a Quality Win Bonus for any team beaten in the top 20 of the RPI(assuming BU is in this at EOY). In other words, no one truly knows how much of a win this is until the regular season ends.

I don't think UND hit him enough, granted with the way the game was being called UND completely shied away from the physical play or they would have been playing 5x3 all night.

True. The Gophers made him a non factor in the semifinal game last year as he had to defend more than he likes to. He was with team USA at the World Championships last year and they primarily used him on the power play and when we had an offensive zone faceoff. He was outmuscled and beat for the overtime goals in the semi final and bronze medal games. He definitely needs to add some muscle but he is beyond dynamic with the puck.

Not doubting Hutson's brilliance, but is he that much more dynamic than Perunovich was at Duluth?  Injuries have been an issue, but he's 25 and has played 21 career NHL games.  P is listed at 5'10" 175.  H at 5'10" 161.  

He is a fantastic player to have on your college team, but you eventually have to defend.

If ever there was a face-off to win, it was to start OT.  Was nice to see Hutson and Celibrini on the ice when Blake scored, but it would not have been fun to see them with the puck.

2-1 against the B1G and 1-1 against a likely top 3 in HEA.
1-0-1 vs CCHA 
1-0 vs AHA

Can’t have our Thanksgiving letdown against Bemidji and take for granted the rest of our non conference games, but this puts us in good position.  Would be nice to challenge for a high #1 seed so we will be put in Sioux Falls in a year in which we aren’t hosting a regional and Missouri is the next closest regional.

Needed to get out of there with a split and got it.

Certainly some breakdowns that need to be cleaned up. Way too many careless giveaways.

Liked the line combos a lot more last night than what we have seen.

Did anyone else have issues with the volume of the BU play by play guys? It seemed muted but whenever they’d go to commercial the volume was really loud. (We’d gotten the ESPN+ subscription)

No issues when I muted him after two minutes.

Yes! Every time they went to a commercial. The feed froze many times also, maybe due to my nephew's TV.

I have Phil Kessel on line 1.  He says he was minus 165 in the NHL, and still got to play.

Yes, it was a brutal production. Good picture, but the PxP announcers needed to turn up their mics. They were absolutely brutal, too.

Yup.  On top of that, the announcers seemed to be almost whispering during normal play by play, but then went full volume yelling when BU scored.  It was an incredibly uncomfortable broadcast to watch and listen to.

UND should want to see BU in the NCAAs. Wasn't impressed. Minny is much better.

TOTALLY agree. This was my assessment of the weekend, summed up. When we got to a puck possession game, we were stronger and more skilled. Celebrini and Hutson are both all-world, but if you take them away, no one stood out all weekend. With the exception of the last 7 minutes on Saturday, we HEAVILY out possessed that team 5 on 5. I would love to see them in the tourney.

I posted this after the Goofer series. I will post it again here. Because I think the best is still to come with this UND team:

"You play baseball coach for a moment. Two players run to first. They both have the same time, but one has perfect form, the other, lousy form."

Which one do you pick?

The one with lousy form.

Why?

‘Cause teach him the right form...and he beats the other guy.

Check back in April to see if I am right.
