Non-UND College Hockey 2025-26

[Blackheart]

Minny ends it with ENG

[AlphaMikeFoxtrot]

Mooney whiffs on the empty net. Luckily Ziemer didn't.

[cberkas]

Only Minnesota would miss multiple empty nets in a row before finally getting one

[Blackheart]

4-2 Gofs with a minute to go…this would be good for Sioux

[Blackheart]

Minny wins 4-2

[nascar99]

Negative: Minnesota won

Positive: If North Dakota doesn't s*** the bed at Western Michigan and in the NCHC Tournament, increased odds of a 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament now

[Dustin]

4-2 Final.

Outshot 39-15 but still won. 
Certainly never cheer for a UMN win, but that should help UND.
Even brings #2 overall within reach for UND if they take care of business the next few weeks.

3rd goal given up by Ivankovic was weak. He just hasn't looked as strong as he did pre injury (where Nelson accidentally on purpose ran him over).

Wouldn't say he was ran over, more like sliding into. 

Ran over would be Pionk running over Cam

He was skated through. Nelson didn't intentionally take him out, but he certainly didn't try his hardest to stop or not go through Ivankovic. Just my $0.02

Michigan still at #2 overall, but they took a huge hit tonight in the NPI, went from approx. 59.4 to 58.6. UND is lurking right behind them like a jealous ex. If UND can do well this weekend at WMU, #2 is well within reach; provided that their 2nd period demons have been exorcized.

MN almost won in ot the last time they met, so MI is far from invincible. These are the types of games that heavily-favorite teams often see in the national tournament: outshooting the opposing goalie over 2:1 & either barely winning or getting sent home early after a great regular season.

I'm willing to make an exception when they play Michigan.

Playing around with the NPI calculator and looking at just Michigan and UND...tomorrow if Michigan beats the Gofs and Sioux beat Western, the Sioux and Wolverines would essentially be tied.  I know that's not perfect because I only input results in for those two games but North Dakota could still make some moves in the NPI if they play decent from now until the NCAA's.

I think SiouxSports should buy the first patch ... provided its on the helmets.  After all, we're living rent-free in their heads ... paying a little isn't that big a change.

 Are you though?

Let's try to get a random country or city's tourism board to sponsor a patch. The Clippers have Visit Rwanda and the Knicks have Experience Abu Dhabi. See You Soon In Saskatoon!

Funny how I'm sure I said they'd be the first to do it and look like a team in Europe with sponsors all over.

Maryville announcement they are moving to NCAA D1 will be on Wednesday March 4th

Wonder if they'll do like Ricky Bobby (Talladega Nights) and sell the visor spot on their helmets?
