Looks like a Duluth win...because Ohio State has already hit two posts (and didn't score on an insane save) and usually when that happens the other team comes down and scores.

You know it. And it will be on some weird bounce or shot from center ice, nothing normal.

Cause when we hit the post earlier tonight, NoDak immediately came down the ice and won the game.

NO, because North Dakota was in our end the entire game and we came down on one rush and won the game.

So you're saying there's a chance OSU could win here.

I noticed this last Friday night. Time after time, right in front of me they would throw it up along the wall and then from just inside the blue line try to get one up along the right boards (either off the glass or directly) to a wing basically standing on the red line and then he would try to skate it in. Over and over and over and over and over. After a while it's pretty easy to read. They NEVER break it out up the middle (I realize that's more "dangerous" but not when you telegraph the play every time). BC would just stick a forechecker along the wall and the play got broken up almost every time.
I don't know what the answer is. I think, truthfully, it's a combination of the scheme and a slight hesitancy, for whatever reason, by the d-men. They don't move it quite quickly enough. It was exacerbated tonight because North Dakota really had a jump and was all over us.

A few thoughts
1. Go Terriers (whew) !
2. video review on an offside 30 seconds before a GW Goal shouldn't be used to wave off a goal. I don't care if it benefits my team, that offside had zero impact on the potential GWG play.
3. **** you, ESPN. I recorded the game and they switched from a 2OT hockey game to a women's bball sweet 16 game. If you're going to commit to put hockey on ESPN2, put hockey on ESPN2. This Match-up was so big that it was the only regional semi on a real ESPN channel. So I missed the GWG.
4. Lol at the **** talk on McAvoy and 'Somersby'.
5. Thank JFC for Jake. Very DiPietro-esque, except we won that game (I lived in Seattle at the time and my only update feed for the game was this very message board).
6. Despite this being a home game for the SooHawks, I have a ton of respect for UND fans and they deserved a better fate. 2 years ago at the Garden, I chatted with this bear of a guy in the Sioux corner suite after our win and he was the nicest guy, even in defeat. Flash forward to Saturday night, my crying 7 year old and I are trudging through the crowd at North Station and who spots is and gives us a huge hug, this same Sioux guy. Class. He said to me "you guys will be back" and I told him his would too. They win the whole thing in 2016. Let's not waste this tremendous opportunity. Go Terriers!

Re: BU 2017 Season Thread III: Terriers falling (into the off season)
The TV thing has been brought up ad nauseum. I completely agree but it's never going to change. I actually posted it about 2 seconds after they "announced" the switch. It stinks. What is troublesome is that when LACROSSE runs overtime, they keep the game on that channel and don't even SHOW the hockey. They join the game halfway through. And, of course, women's basketball is way more important. You know, in some ways it was better in the old days when the broadcasts were syndicated and a "local" channel would pick it up. Because the reality is this: if you're going to show this on a "national" network, you have to understand that people in non-collegy hockey areas (which is most of the country) would RATHER watch tiddlywinks, so hockey will get pre-empted for almost ANYTHING. The same thing happens in golf, by the way. If a tournament goes into sudden death, CBS will show "60 Minutes" and then switch the golf to Golf Channel. So if you are recording it, good luck.
Secondly (and I can tell from the number of times you have posted that you most likely have not seen the back and forth banter on this), I also completely agree about the review. Completely ridiculous. (Sean won't agree) Humans make mistakes. If they missed the call, they missed the call. It had NO bearing on the goal. Let's say North Dakota had the puck in the zone WITHOUT IT COMING OUT for five minutes before they scored (not unreasonable if you watched the game tonight
). You're telling me that something that occurred FIVE MINUTES before the goal should have any effect? Next are we going to start keeping score of all the "mistakes" made by officials? And while we're at it, you're telling me that a grainy "long shot" from the other side of the rink with parallax preventing any actual view is "conclusive" evidence? I never saw a shot where they "synced" the two views. From what I saw the boards were blocking the feet of the left wing so there was no way to tell if he was in the zone ahead of the puck or not. How could you possibly tell from an END SHOT 200 feet away that they had to zoom in to even see if he was in ahead of the puck, which was all the way across the ice on the other wall?
Replay is ruining sports. It destroys the flow of the game, not to mention adding a ridiculous amount of time. Someone asked tonight "Why is it taking so long to review this?" You can go back and look at my response (as a former official) if you would like, but the point is they STILL don't always get it right after looking at it fifty times. So what exactly is the point? They don't go back and replay the game whenever a player makes a mistake. Why do they do it after a referee makes one? No wonder these guys are afraid to make calls. Big Brother is watching.
I agree about the North Dakota fans...I experienced similar sentiments at the Garden in 2015.

Can't believe they didn't call that one on UMD there, that was a legitimate board, unlike that weak cross-check on Doyle (or was it Hickey?) as well as Jordan's penalty early in the game.

The replay review in tonight's Air Force and Western Michigan was extremely long too

No BU won and Charlie scored so all is well...Oettinger and Keller once again cover up absolute garbage play and I am just Switzer's dad...Why would Chabot get a shift when Cloonan and Bellows were so dominant?
