NCAA Tournament: NMU Wildcats vs. SCSU Huskies

Re: NCAA Tournament: NMU Wildcats vs. SCSU Huskies

I'll give them the first one...it was a stick check not a hook...but it could have been called slashing. If he doesnt want to be hit in the nuts he should either grow, or shrink a few inches next time. Up until then the refs had let a lot go on both sides and then decided to call weaker penalties. Im not sure what league those guys are from, but they were awful.

And then Shegos doesnt call much of anything in the RIT game.

It was a great game either way.

Oh don't get me wrong, the first was a penalty, a penalty that was a good one to take. But the actuall "call" was wrong. Roughing, slashing....both would have been acceptable. And it explains why the guy was down for a bit.

Great job by NMU this year! What a great game! Let me be the first to wish St. Cloud good luck tomorrow. Thank you NMU seniors! I rank a senior class by one simple grade, did you leave the program better than when you arrived? Matt, T.J., Ray, Al, Brian, Billy, you did that! Thank you. NMU in the tourney is great!

Wholeheartedly agree! A great season to be a Wildcat!

Good luck to SCSU tomorrow. That Lee kid is special. Hopefully you guys have something left in the tank for tomorrow.

To those Cats that return next year, remember the feeling you had getting to this point. More importantly, remember what you felt like right after the game. It could be great motivation for next season.

Rambling thoughts.

Crowd was massively disappointing. You don't have to be a diehard Husky fan to drive 70 miles.

Great effort by NMU very impressed with their talent and perserverance.

Bummed to see a couple NMU fans complaining about officiating. All officiating is bad in every sport....just ask any fan.

Best sight at the game was an SCSU you fan that had a stuffed monkey on her back!

Please fans, make the drive to St. Paul tomorrow. Who knows when they will have a regional game this close to home again.

For a moment I don't hate all you Gophers and Sioux fans!

Was it just me or did Mosey's reaction to that goal one you would expect to give after scoring the 7th goal in a 7-1 game. He just did not have any big reaction, probably just exhausted. Maybe it is good that he was calm about it...just not what I would have expected.

Nice win and all, but the more important question is... how does this affect SCSU's Pairwise ranking?

Silly, when you win this game you play the next day for the chance to go to the Frozen Four. You guys are sooo new to this.

Probably exhausted and relieved more than anything. No time to celebrate, there is a badger that needs to be slayed!

And being the generally disgruntled bunch we are, shouldn't we be complaining about losing a two goal lead, scoring on ourselves, etc.

1-8 never sounded so great!

Nice job by NMU. They never stopped battling. They remind me a bit of Mankato - they aren't flashy just a hard working bunch that makes you pay for your mistakes.

Re: NCAA Tournament: NMU Wildcats vs. SCSU Huskies

Congrats on the win SCSU. Long time comming for your squad and your fans. No gopher squad to root for turns me into a WCHA fan this time of year. I hope that trend ends next year.

Good luck against wisco.

Re: NCAA Tournament: NMU Wildcats vs. SCSU Huskies

Wow, great game! OT was really, really fun. The Big Dane played a great game. His hit on Kaunisto was great! It brought some excitement back to the third period. Unfortunately, NMU scored shortly after that. But SCSU played well in OT and pulled out the game. Excellent game by the 2 goaltenders. Suggestion for tonight...SHOOT the FRICKIN PUCK!!!

Re: NCAA Tournament: NMU Wildcats vs. SCSU Huskies

It was a great game and a great day for SCSU hockey.

NMU played great and their fans are top notch and one classy group.

Re: NCAA Tournament: NMU Wildcats vs. SCSU Huskies

What a game! Congrats to our Huskies and let's come back ready to play against Wisco tonight. NMU played a great game and showed a lot of heart coming back to tie it from 3-1.

Mosey's goal is #9 on Sportscenter's Top 10! You mean, they have actually heard of hockey that isn't played on the East Coast?!

Re: NCAA Tournament: NMU Wildcats vs. SCSU Huskies

Classic game and although I'm crushes that NMU lost I couldn't be prouder to be a Wildcat this morning. Best of luck to our seniors who finally broke down the tourney walls after 11 years. You fellas have a lot to be proud of. Hold your heads high!!!

As for St. Cloud State. I went into the weekend wanting to play Bucky and since I won't get that chance I hope you guys roll them up and smoke them tonight. Great game last night and best of luck!!!
