Non-UND College Hockey 2025-26

[cberkas]

2-1 Denver

[cberkas]

3-1 Denver

[cberkas]

3-2 Denver

[cberkas]

Denver beat CC 3-2

Denver keeps the Gold Pan

[tnt]

I like how the announcer says “that’s why this is the best rivalry in college hockey.”Generally a great rivalry isn’t a one sided affair that doesn’t have a history of hotly contested post season matches.

So if CC got all the points the second series, Denver still holds it?

Denver has really picked it up after a rough start of the season...those losses to UAA and Lindenwood (plus the tie to Air Force) seem to be all but forgotten now.

Number 2 in the NPI with those losses? Hmmm....

Yeah I'm guessing that NPI is still pretty dang volatile this early.  I imagine Dartmouth will tank pretty quick when their 1st loss happens.
We went from 5th to 9th tonight.
Def doesn't help us that 3 of our losses are to ASU, UMN, and Clarkson in #41, 42, and 43 in NPI.

CC would have a hand on it, but if they split the series the one who won it last year still holds it.

Denver won 4 or 3 of 4 last year and they both win 2 this year, Denver technically keeps it even though they would share it

Until CC is in the top two of the NCHC and winning the Gold Pan 7 straight years than this rivalry will be better. This rivalry has been so one sided for years I just hope CC can beat them, instead of CC is going to beat Denver because they are better.

That’s Ken Landau for you. The biggest homer announcer in all of college hockey. Trust me, as a long time season ticket holder this isn’t a rivalry until we can consistently start winning some games and winning some Gold Pans more than once every seven years.
I will give this Mayotte led team credit though, this is a much more physical and skilled CC team than that of years past under Haviland where we might get an occasional upset win over DU because Alex Leclerc had to put up 50 saves. That Miller for DU is the real deal, by the way. Mbereko played well this weekend but CC simply had a hard time solving Miller.

Great, another goalie to #hotgoalie UND when we play DU?

Pretty much. This guy doesn’t give up rebounds, has good size and is square to the puck.

CC need to start giving the backup games over Mbereko or they could be looking for a starter and backup next year.

Yah they brought in a touted freshman and yet there doesn’t appear to be any signs he gets a whiff of playing time.

ASU's goalie gave up rebounds all night on Saturday, but we weren't there to capitalize on them.

Jackson didn't bring up being "hot goalied" after Saturday night's game and neither should we. It can get into guy's heads and become a mental issue that is hard to get rid of.

Western Michigan beat Miami 6-2

We needed this series badly.  At the end of the 2nd period Saturday we were outshooting Miami 39-5 and winning 4-0.  We almost had more goals then they had shots... lol.  I think the whole "Miami is back" talk might have taking a bit of a hit this weekend.

Got Miami at the right time to get you guys in the right direction. 

[brianvf]

Miami did the same routine as PSU. Cupcake early schedule led to an inflated record.

Was watching the highlights from QU & BU and their 1st goal came from a bad turnover from OMac. I got a good laugh from that.

I saw that as well.  QU player picked his pocket clean at center.  Oops.
Boisvert and OMac are a combined -8 for BU this year.
UND only has three players total that are -, and they are all only -1.
Def don't think OMac (or Perron) would have fit in on this UND team.

I watched the first four games Minnesota played this year and noted on this board that they had no talent. Another poster to remain nameless blasted me for it. Egg has been dripping from his face ever since.

Someone put chili powder in your jock? They still beat UND 5-1. UND still hasn't played up to the hype for 8-9 years. Time will tell. And I hate Gophers.
