I dont think it was intentional judging by where the player was looking. 

I don’t think it was intentional, but he definitely pushed it in.  The puck accelerated.  It wasn’t just deflecting off his glove.

I don’t know how the rule actually reads anymore, though.

Alaska has had a ton of great chances in the second.  Some good goaltending and good fortune has kept them off the scoreboard.  But that kind of play will win a lot of games.  

In looking at Alaska’s schedule they may have a lot of games from teams down on the lower end of providing pairwise points.  ASU might be the strongest games.  Alaska has a lot on the line to win tonight.

This was a great non-conference series for us. It forced our guys to hustle, since Alaska hustled really well.

Went great because we didn’t lose. Backup goalie played good enough to win and gain confidence if we end up needing him again. 
 

still big concerns with our defensive play that will be exploited by better teams down the stretch. Need to get that fixed so hopefully this team gets that figured out by April.

They certainly don’t cover the other team defensively like the Nodak hockey we are used to seeing. But the show lots of evidence that they can be good defensively.  They will get there.

Biggest concern for sure is puck management.  Rather than eat the puck and have a 50/50 chance, they blindly throw the puck into dangerous places.  UND has always been great at living to play another day, especially when you have the lead.  If they don’t get better at puck management, winning four games in a row in tight tournament games could be quite a chore unless your goalie is stealing games, or you are shooting lights out.  On the positive side, they are in every game, and 3 on 3 isn’t a thing in the playoffs, unless you have some weird non coincidental penalty situations.  Turnovers are going to happen against pressure, but they need to for sure tighten up on unforced turnovers.
