I don’t mind the guy filling in for Alex. I also liked Jody though.

He's been really good

[cowboys5xsbs]

Another one 😁

[cberkas]

When Big F'n Ben scores they should play the "dong" from Big Ben

[nascar99]

Good dub

[Kevin G]

Two regulation wins. Check!

[bcblues]

Good win. Ramped up the finishing in the 3rd. I like that.

[beastandco]

Sneaky four point game for Rickwood. He’s been a stud this year. 
 

I also wouldn’t mind seeing more of Kernan. I just don’t know who you play him over. He’s going to be a good player.

[SiouxFanatic]

Took care of business.

Gotta say, it can’t be fun being winless for the season. Good luck to Mercyhurst, hope they find their first win. Congrats to their HC on a long career.

Curious as to what happened with strinden behind the play 

Strinden was slew-footed at the mercyhurst d-zone blue line. It may or may not have been on purpose. Littler thought it was on purpose and went for some street justice.

Lovin’ this team, mistakes but redemptions on effort, unselfishness, chemistry, talent is so fun to watch!

Ever since they moved Kernan to center he’s been rolling strong. Love seeing it

Good for James! When was the last UND hat trick?

…and he probably knew he tipped it, but he deferred to Livanavage.  That is quite the unselfish player.

From the Schloss gamer:

Quote

James, a senior winger, tallied UND's first hat trick since Riese Gaber at Miami on Jan. 28, 2023. It was the first home hat trick since Rhett Gardner on Nov. 2, 2018, against Wisconsin. It was UND's first natural hat trick — three goals in a row — since Brock Boeser on Oct. 21, 2016, against Bemidji State.

I can't believe that Mercyhurst didn't even get 20 sog...for an entire series.

I thought he tipped it on replay, and Liv even pointed as if to say it went off of James.  Good for Dylan

Love their head coach, classy man who has been in the game longer than I've been alive. 

A season like this and you've got to take the small victories and build.  I would hang a positive on their shot blocking the whole weekend.  Those guys weren't afraid to put their bodies in front of some bombs.

And that’s a very long time!

UND senior forward Ellis Rickwood has been a great addition to the UND lineup. Upon is return to the lineup from injury, Rickwood has scored (2g-8a—10pts). This past weekend, he recorded (1g-5a—6pts) against Mercyhurst. http://dlvr.it/TQ8MLP

Can someone explain to me why we're playing Mercyhurst instead of Boston College, Boston University, Michigam, Michigan State, or Wisconsin?

Fair question. Makes no sense really.  You have nothing to gain and everything to lose. 

[The Sicatoka]

Historically we’ve tried to play a team from every other conference. It’s a math/PWR/NPI thing.

It’s a good wake up after break, Michigan will not travel, so it’s not that they want to avoid playing them it’s just we aren’t going to Ann Arbor all the time. We have MSU next year and then a home and home with Wisconsin the following 2 years. BC/hockey east et al I think stems from the lack of consistency in hockey east officials. You can’t go there because you get penalties like Brendan O’Donnell’s two minutes for getting slashed.

First game back after break. Not sure how many key players will not be in the lineup?

Smart scheduling
