Pretty sure this post, made on January 3, 2016, when UNO was 14-3-1 and #2 in the pairwise, will go down in USCHO lore as The Curse of Tipsy McStagger.

We mourn for days after a loss, puff out our chests for a week or more after we win. We brave the cold for tailgates, our friends know not to ask about the game after a tough loss, we laugh, we cry, we BLEED hockey, specifically the maroon'n'gold. Many of us have a tattoo waiting in the wings, WHEN (not IF) the Gophers are champions again.
First Star: Quentin Shore (Denver)
Second Star: Matt Tabrum (Denver)
Third Star: Sam Brittain (Denver)
Q and Sam pretty much expected. Kudos to Matt. Good to see a Shore back in the stars.
Sam had the great game we've come to expect from him. Probably won't win the NCHC "Sammee" award because of Friday's fall from grace.
The win also snapped a four-game losing streak for the Pioneers vs. St. Cloud State – marking the Pioneers first victory in the series since Nov. 3, 2012. from denverpioneers.com

Streak over
01/11/14 Denver 5-2
Guess this is similar to a 3-3 win
And then there's:
LaLeggia launched a wrister from the blue line that beat St. Cloud’s Charlie Lindgren, who replaced Faragher following Denver’s fourth goal, on his glove side at 14:14 of the third. Faragher turned away nine shots and allowed four goals before being replaced.
Didn't see any of last night's game, but DU has to feel good about earning a split vs a very very good St. Cloud team. Friday night was tough sledding, but to bounce back last night shows a good deal of resiliency.
Right up there with the regular goof-up at Magness in between periods when they say now let's check-in with the scores around the NCHC and post nothing but games from Atlantic Hockey. I'm thinking it must be Stickney punching it in on his flip phone while he munches down on his chilli dog. Slick operation!

The real challenge at Magness is "Spot the Mistake on the Corner Scoreboard." There's always at least one spelling mistake. Every single game. I love it when North Daokata loses.

Again Friday night, I'm pretty sure it had the scores reversed. That's the second time I've seen it. Running a scoreboard isn't exactly like teaching an ape to play Chopin.
