In the battle of a ham sandwich vs turd sandwich, ham sandwich wins.

St. Cloud beats Omaha 2-1

Omaha doesn't even like bread...

If Ivankovic is injured for any length of time, that would be a huge blow for Michigan.
Their backup goalie, Peck, has only played in one game all season...with a 4.83 GAA and a .857 save %.

If it's the same guys as last year they really SUCK.

It is, and they got worse somehow. Fox 10 is carrying the game on tv so I expect Midco to have it again.

That yogurt or what ever it is commercial when they play is burned into my mind

North Dakota, Denver, and Wisconsin would call that “now swing your partner do-se-do.

I figured it out Michigan doesn’t want to play UND because they saw the “water bottle incident” and those Denver games.

Scared of some “rusum duusums” while they drink their Zimas, White Claws, and Smirnoff Ices. 🤣

Sure doesn't hurt our chances of getting the #1 overall seed, don't like seeing a goalie hurt though. Replay didn't look terrible to me so wonder if he got cut by his skate possibly?

Doesn't look intentional. Just unfortunate. You are taught to go hard to the net. They just collided awkwardly together. Sometimes it happens.

Maybe because it was in slow motion. Goalie had his knee exposed & it appears the Notre Dame player hit it flush on the side.

Hard to imagine that he could be back in time for the national tournament (in 2.5 mos.) if he was unable to put any weight on his knee last night when leaving the ice; but then again he also has access to some of the best medical care in North America.

The Irish alone are throwing a major kink in UM's postseason plans; Mews injured in their first match-up last fall & now Ivankovic.

There is way too many cross checks to the face/head this year and they should all be majors. 

Agree. The Friday night cross check put on Dylan James by a CC player was up in the head/face area. How was that not 5?

They were doing a review for a major in the Denver game and the cross check to the face wasn't being reviewed. They were reviewing a non-penalty instead.

Crazy that they are at #19 with an 11-11 record.

Must be based on their strength of schedule.

Agree. Thought same thing.

He's the Notre Dame captain too, which is crazy.

To me, if he was trying to injure him, he would have stayed down and just torpedoed him.  It looked like he came back up in an effort to slow his momentum.  Who knows?

[cberkas]

If you are going to injure the goalie, why not hit him at full speed like Duluth would do. Not fall down and slide into him.

This guy likely also believes Petgrave deliberately kicked Adam Johnson in the throat.

I believe that is called "Pulling a Pionk".

Or “Pionking” for short lol

Another ECHL/AHL player joins the NCAA ranks.
Getting a little crazy, NCAA might need to rein this in a bit somehow, but that ship has probably sailed now.

1st in Wooster, 2nd in CO, 3rd in Albany and 4th in SF.

Augie and the Tommies making it so soon after starting teams would be impressive.
