North Dakota '16 - '17 Season Thread - Let's Do It Again

Re: North Dakota '16 - '17 Season Thread - Let's Do It Again

Read on ss.com that today marks the 11th anniversary of Miracle on Ice II.
 
Re: North Dakota '16 - '17 Season Thread - Let's Do It Again

A friend on Facebook posted today's entry on his Fun Beer Fact A Day calendar that said it was a North Dakota law that bars and restaurants cannot serve beer and pretzels simultaneously. That's....random. Are you guys aware of that law?

Tucker Poolman not in the lineup against BU. That's a huge blow. I still think North Dakota will win,

What can I say? You guys played a great game and probably deserved to win. Good luck in the future.

I'm happy with the way the guys played. That's the thing about playing highly skilled teams. If the goaltending keeps them in it, all it takes is one mistake, or one made play to win it.

UND will probably look back and kick themselves for their pp opportunities lost.

Good luck to BU the rest of the way.

The rest of the tournament has a lot to live up to. That was a classic game and it's a shame a team had to lose. Credit to North Dakota on a fantastic run to get to the tournament and a hell of a game.

Thanks. It is a difficult loss to take, but I think most North Dakota fan realize that this team pretty much lived up to its expectations. Going into the season I figured North Dakota was going to be a top-half NCHC team, should make the Frozen Faceoff, and appear in another NCAA Tournament. I figured with North Dakota hosting, they would have a great chance to advance to Chicago. They pretty much did everything I expected the team to do. If you would have told me at the beginning of the season that North Dakota would go toe-to-toe with, and more often than not outplay, BU, I would have been pretty impressed. Unfortunately, things did not go our way in the 2OT. On to next season...

Incredibly entertaining team to watch. Tough out, just ran into a goalie playing out of his mind. Congrats on a great season.

Thanks. BU is a strong team, and their goalie definitely earned his stripes. I'm also really excited to see Lowell play. Going into the tournament, I thought the teams shook out into roughly four pools of quality:

The "A" Group:
Denver
Duluth
Harvard
Lowell

The "B" Group:
Minnesota
Western Michigan
BU
Union
North Dakota

The "C" Group:
Penn State
Air Force
Cornell
Notre Dame

The "D" Group:
Ohio State
Providence
Michigan Tech

I would not be surprised in the least to see the "A" Group all make the Frozen Four.

I was in a bar and saw both overtimes. A complete travesty what happened and hopefully sports comes to its senses and eliminates replays.

Too bad you choked in Fargo.

Menard's could have sold a lot of rope

this morning in Grand Forks if North Dakota had trees.

Unless the officials had replay angles that television did not, that offside call overturning the goal was a joke. All sports, all replays nee a timer. If it isn't immediately obvious (in 45 seconds?) that a call was wrong, then move on.

Bang on, especially on a part of the play that didn't really effect the goal being scored. Replay needs to end across all the sports.

Agreed (and it benefited my team). See my post in the BU thread. It's just getting ridiculous... (but I'm glad we won the game) :)

BU is my 2nd favorite HEA team. I also like the Sioux. Yesterday's result was one of those things that is simply wrong, also why I love watching sports. Today we shall see if the hockey gods were paying attention.

Ditto. A timer is definitely needed in hockey..and all sports for that matter. To me it looked like the goal should have stood up. If it was that close, give the win to NoDak. Congrats to the Sioux on a great game...and season.
