Agreed about Matteo, thought he was better than that too. I will give him the benefit of the doubt and just say he more than likely got caught up in the moment and was fired up. If he does it again then I will be more critical of him. 

He would be suit popping drinking coca colas up top if he was still here so I guess he made the right decision. Feel good moment for him even if extremely short lived.

That was a game we were lucky to win.  Need to play alot better tomorrow because the puck luck can change quick. 

I believe it is Senior night with a chance to get a share of the NCHC championship, so the incentive should be there.  Of course Western has ruined our Senior night in the past.  I believe CC still has a chance at the title as well.

Constantini can jersey pop all he wants, but he's still playing for a team that probably won't make the playoffs = jackass.

Even if we beat them tomorrow I think they still have a good chance at the NCAA.  The way they take face offs and pressure, they would be a hard out as well.

That would put us up 6  points, which means we would have to equal St. Cloud’s points tomorrow to gain a share of the title at worst.

Take that back, as if both St. Cloud and UND lost, Denver could win out and still take it.

I am surprised Western Michigan doesn't have a better won-loss record.

Terribly outplayed tonight. W. Michigan had a huge advantage in puck obsession & shots, but UND held the line with the blocked shots. 

we've been on the losing end of games where we should have won, so good to see that tonight was our night. 

Get the sweep tomorrow night.

Even though he gave up 2 in the 3rd Perrson stole that one.

Was Albrecht's best game this season.

Gaber was everywhere. 

Fun atmosphere at the Ralph. Very entertaining hockey.

Quite a bit of line juggling throughout the night. 

Gaber was giving his normal high effort, but I thought Western did a good job against him but that could be said for the majority.

For as tough a style as Western played, I didn't see a lot of the extra slashes, jabs or other after the whistle crap like UMD.

Western still above the cut line after this loss. A win tonight gets them in I think for certain. Even another loss tonight they’ll be better than 50% odds to get in. They stand at 74% probability now.

Long time listener, first time caller here.  Did Western get hot goalied or is that still just us?  Didn't watch game at all. 

I'll hang up and listen. 

Analytically WMU won that game 11-3 if xG counts for anything

Starman stated it well. Western throws a lot of shots at the goal but few are grade A chances. Sioux shots are quality shots from close in between the dots, the kind that result in goals. Sioux also have more snipers than Western. Western seems to rely on greasy goals and rebounds - that’s their style of offense. Persson wasn’t tested to the degree the number of SOG’s might suggest.

I didn't see the game either but wondered if that might have been the case.

What does that do to our expected win frequency tonight?  

If I wear my yellow Sweden Lundqvist jersey......guaranteed win

They play Miami next week, then I assume they would probably need to win their first round playoff series, which could be against another NCAA bubble team.

Was very impressed with Western 

Actually, they play a lot like a bunch of old time Sioux teams— play very aggressively, and take their fair share of penalties because of that aggressiveness. Wish we would be that relentless on a more consistent basis.  I was surprised how many 50/50 puck battles we lost last night.  Need to turn that around tonight to get at least a share of the title.

I like how most of the folks on here generally agree with me that UND needs a better effort in game two. Makes me feel I’m not being too critical lol. Hope they come out and play like the did when they locked down DU to give the team momentum for the last part of season. Not going to predict the score but will predict to see the NODAK jerseys on senior night for whatever it’s worth.

And he did the Jersey pop. Never did like that even when our players do it. 

IMHO, the only time a jersey pop is acceptable is after scoring in Mariucci just to mock the Goofs.  :D
