Technically we have a five point lead on DU, but they will have played two more games then us 

Thanks I just noticed this too

Everyone done playing bye now? Asking for a friend

Do we care about the Penrose at all? I'd prefer Frozen Four appearance and National Championship win

If we win Penrose we get home ice for NCHC which could be game against WMU for a one seed. I’d rather play that game at home

You want to win all the hardware you can.

If my math is mathing, you’d think DU has a bye since they are I’ll have played two more games then us

You mean the NCHC tournament?

7 point lead in the NCHC!! UND still needs to handle their business, but this helps

Nice, good to have a little cushion, especially before heading to WMU on that last weekend.

Nice to hang all the banners that you can.
Plus with the added benefit this year of getting home ice for the entire NCHC playoffs then.

Fair, I'm just bitter after they won the Penrose in 2024 and then they let their foot off the gas, lost a 1 seed, got a brutal 1st round tournament matchup and lost

1-0 CC

CC absolutely wearing ASU down. Shots were something like, 20-6 that first period. You could see this starting last night at the beginning of the third period. Puck was in Sun Devils’ end almost the entire period. 

[brianvf]

CC outshot ASU 25-6 in that first period.
And yet those darn ASU fans will still get mad at Smaby calling them soft.

Which equates to more revenue for the program.  Yes, National Championships is where it is at, but winning league titles helps with recruiting if you don’t win it all.

Yes some still do. St. Cloud bye is on the last weekend. 

[tnt]

If Duluth doesn’t win tonight, home ice is certainly a question for them, especially if we can beat them next weekend.  Miami has played two fewer games and will be within shouting distance, especially when Duluth still has to play at Miami, and I would assume without Gajan.

[brianvf]

Looks like Sandy split up the UMD big line tonight...don't remember that happening this year yet.
Plante's are still together, but Shaugs is on the 2nd line.

[Godsmack]

I heard someone say last night that Miami hadn’t beaten St. Cloud in St. Cloud since 2018. Anyone know the last time, if ever, the Redhawks have swept the Huskies?

Would you say that period was on the softer side for the Devils?

Will Gajan be gone next weekend for the Olympics?

Mayotte commented how tired ASU looked in the third last night. I hope and expect CC to continue doing what they started in the third last night and have that carry over to this rest of the game.

Assuming he will be.

Was hoping that ASU would still see opportunity to move up, and want them to be engaged from here on out in the regular season since they still play Western and Denver.

Never going to root for those insular tribalists

Neither will I, thus the perverse comment.

That left a very bad taste in my mouth.
