Agreed. Not only is it not fair to the team where the player plays, it’s not fair to the teams that play that team at full strength. Harvard gets a walkover when other schools had to play Princeton with their best players.

I guess...it certainly can affect individual teams,like Princeton,but, overall, this week has only 9 college players participating in Pittsburgh. (6 for Canada,3 for USA)
I suppose it’s harder for Ivy teams to take a weekend off what with their late start to begin with. I agree with you guys though, it’s unfortunate.
Was at the game last night and wow, did I enjoy watching Gabel and Fillier.. Great players

C'mon guys. Is Fillier all that stands between the Tigers and "walkovers"? Maybe you can’t judge Princeton with this one game, but you can judge Harvard last night: relentless. Give Fillier her one point per game and Thompson a strong outing and you've still got 5-3, FINAL
Btw, who has the final say on these mid-season interruptions, the coaches or the players? I'm assuming it's the former.

Fortunately, they play again...I do think you may be underestimating the value of a TOP player(s) on a team like Princeton...a close example would be UMD a few years ago with Stalder...

Perhaps. Princeton still had 42 SOG. We had Reed, along with everybody else.

I really thought that Victoria Bach stood out and was the best player on the ice.

Certainly doesn’t hurt being on a line with Poulin, but yea she was excellent in the game I saw. I think last year she was with Saulnier and Jenner at the Rivalry Series.

After two periods, it's Minnesota 5, Bemdji 1. BSU played a really good first period, and ended it with a 1-0 lead. Then the roof caved in, as the Gophers scored two power play goals, two even strength goals, and a shortie on fifteen shots.

Whoever was out there for the Gopher team in the first period it looked like they got replaced by some different players.

They were fine for the first half of the period. It was the second ten minutes where the wheels came off.

Final is Minnesota 7, Bemidji 1. The game got pretty chippy down the stretch.

Re: 2019-20 D1 Scores
Random thoughts:
Gophers had a little extra jump last night once they got going. I expect to see someone like Skaja to be on people in a hurry, and she was, but Knowles was also getting to spots on time, even when I didn't expect her to do so.
Sarah was playing with a confidence that I don't recall at all last year.
Are we in danger of running out of goalies?
BSU blocked a lot of shots, Kara Werth in particular. Her goalies didn't have nearly as much success in that regard, and I'd expect the goaltending to be better today with the resulting score much tighter.
I didn't notice any pattern of being chippy, especially for a game that was no longer up for grabs.

Re: 2019-20 D1 Scores
I'm thinking of two plays in particular. The first was Sarah Potomak getting dropped in front of the Bemidji net with no call, after which the Gophers' top line had zero shifts, and the interference penalty on Reece Hunt for shoving down Kippin Keller. Keller gave as good as she got last night; I thought the one time she got called for a penalty was an egregiously bad call, but it evened out.
It was also notable that prior to the second period last night, the Gophers had gone eleven periods without a power play.
