NCHC Semifinals-Here come the Dawgs

[Wilbur]

Duluth survives being down late twice and rallies to get to Grand Forks next Saturday.  Sorry Miami, you aren't coming back in Denver.  

Both teams are securely in the NCAA tournament, so should make for a good tilt. 

Stop the Plante line and you win the game.  Bottom line.  Play for another 60 minutes and one more game at home for the seniors the following week.

Gajan hasn’t been that good since he came back

It's a good thing this game is being played on Saturday instead of Friday.

On Friday's this season, UMD is 2-0 against UND, winning both games in OT.
On Saturday's this season, UND is 2-0 against UMD, outscoring UMD 9-2 in the process.

One thing that may make a difference is we no longer have 3 vs 3 OT. Five on five OT likely favors us since we have so much depth

Is it a Friday/Saturday thing or a Game1/Game2 thing? Would think lineup depth has a say in the latter. 

Anything can happen in the first game of a weekend. In the second game our depth shines through.

It is only one game.

I know. That’s my point. The whole Friday vs Saturday record thing doesn’t matter because we aren’t playing the “Saturday” game after having played one on Friday. Both teams will be fresh for this Saturday game.

Looking ahead to this weekend I’d like to optimistically think that the flu has run its course thru the team and they all have built up herd immunity. (I’m assuming more than 3 guys had gotten the flu but those guys recovered enough before Friday’s game)
