UND @ Duluth Saturday Night

[AlphaMikeFoxtrot]

It's been a long time since Duluth has had this porous of D. Glad we could kick them when they're down; looking forward to more of the same later in the season.

I like Livanavage more every time I see him play.   Plays with a lot of confidence for a frosh.  

Reminds me a lot of Stecher as a freshman.

[Wilbur]

The senior class at UND has not lost at Amsoil in their career.  Crazy. 

I was happy to see Bast out there in a top four d pairing for Duluth.  Glad he's somewhere where he will play, and play a lot.

Sandy may have his work cut out for him with this group.  Not much all weekend for Biondi or Spicer.  And Thiessen should be in the running for NCHC goaltender of the week.  He's the reason last night wasn't 6-0.

If only he could learn how to hold the blue line . Boy he had a rough time last night. But…I do like his game.

The announcers had a Duluth flavor all weekend - maybe not as bad but certainly not neutral 

In other news, they were the Duluth broadcast team, not a neutral third party (ala CBSSN).

Next we’ll hear Tim Hennessy may question calls that negatively impact UND.

Well, they should have put 40 on the board…

If you’re not going to score a goal a minute just stay in the locker room.

All I can say is ; good job boys. A sweep, on the road, in Duluth, NCHC opener, with a shutout. 
 

Outstanding. Let’s keep it up! Go Sioux! Back home next weekend. 

[FightingSU]

Championship year for sure. No doubt 

[The Sicatoka]

If Schmaltz is worse than D2D this might be the best time:

- Miami and Bemidji for the next four
- Ness playing fourth center decently
- Louie goes back to center and the top two centers are OMac and Berg 

Anyone notice how they shuffled the lines when Schmaltz went down?
Assume LouieJam to C and Kunz went from extra to the vacant wing (where LouieJam had been).

Ha, hopefully the major is the main subject of his article. 
It's certainly the only reason that they lost.   

 

Questionable … OK … 

Duluth was in chippy mode and it was uncalled most of the night. Like I said, Duluth finally gave something that could be looked at by the league office; the game officials had to act and had to take back control. The major was justified and was also an accumulation of uncalled items. 

That’s Duluth’s game: chippy. They want you to react and lose focus. They are trying to draw power play chances. Blake did react and give a PP and frankly it could not have happened at a better time. <— Say what? … It happened at the end of a period where the team could be refocused on (a) what not to pay attention to, and (b) what does require their attention. 

After the shot to Johannes’ jaw (the major) if that wouldn’t have been called it could’ve gone ugly* … right to UMD’s plan. 

 

* I fear to see what 24 y/o men like 13 and 28 would do to 18 y/o boys.

I thought that Nathan Wieler and Ryan Hersey had rough weekend, there were a bunch of high hits by the Bulldogs that went uncalled. I think those two need to have unpaid vacation next weekend. They were horrendous. I like to see another look of the hit on Schmaltz, that looked pretty questionable. Of course, there was no replay. 

[The Sicatoka]

Pretty sure the hit on Schmaltz will get a look on Monday.

Wellens showing his arse as always. Brad would never be bitter after a loss, let alone pointing a finger at others like a child.

Actually, I think they do that on Tuesday, but I thought it was pretty dirty.

They publicly announce Tuesday; pretty sure the decisions and notifications are done by close of business Monday.

That save he made about two minutes into the game might be the save of the year.

a few years back I was told Tuesday, but that very well might be the case. I suppose if there's an appeal they have an extra day to look at the evidence and make their final decision.

Take off the tinted glasses. He hasn’t been very good to start the year. 

In Gaber's defense, he's had players draped all over him. Go back and watch Jammer's goal. He was tackled in front of the net.

Has Blake been good?  He is right behind him in scoring.

That's bush league and that wasn't the only instance of questionable hits this weekend

And the ref is standing there watching it right in front of him.

[burd]

So it will be reviewed for contact to the head?    It's hard to tell from that video if his elbow made contact with the head or what hit what.   I'm sure they will have multiple views to go by, though.   The fact that I'm half blind and half witted will not be a problem with them.

I thought the Duluth announcers were fan boying UND all weekend.
