University of North Dakota '19-'20 Season Thread - There's this Tournament in March..

Re: University of North Dakota '19-'20 Season Thread - There's this Tournament in Mar

DU going to come in hungry after getting swept by the Dawgs. Going to be a great finish for the Penrose Cup.

I'm sure the boys have seen plenty of tape on Sandy's game plan against the Pios. This will be a good measure of how we stack up not only against DU but also the current Dogs.

That was a fantastic college hockey game last night with UND winning 4-1. Score doesn’t indicate how tight it was. Need the same tonight to increase the point lead over the Dogs from 5 to 8

Denver is a fun team to watch. They always skate well, play hard, and have plenty of skill. It's so nice being in the same conference as they are.

Huge sweep. North Dakota gets its 8 point lead in the NCHC back, with just 6 games (18 points) remaining for everyone in the league, and has a pretty significant edge for the #1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. Realistically, if UND splits their last three series, they'll recapture the Penrose and be in great shape for the #1 overall seed. Pretty amazing turnaround this year!

Thome was amazing this weekend! Cant believe how much hes grown as a goalie. I feel a little bad for scheel but you gotta ride Thome if he's playing this good!

Fun series, and always nice to sweep DU. Last night was a more complete game. Tonight it looked like they were going to roll over DU. Just dominated the first period but only scored once. I don't know what DU was trying to do in the first period. I don't know if the NCAA keeps records on the number of times a team ices the puck but I'm pretty sure DU set a record. They iced the puck at least three times in the first 2 minutes of the game and kept doing the same thing the whole period. Then they seemed to realize that passing the puck was a good idea and played much better the last two periods. Thome had a great weekend in spite of the one goal he let in tonight was a softy. Glad I was at the Ralph for the games.

Another Schlossman-type stat: After 21 weeks of NCAA play, the NCHC has held the nat'l #1 spot for 13 of them: Duluth = 2, Denver = 4, UND = 7.

MN State (5) and Cornell (3) round it out.

I understand the other 3, but why ASU? Proximity to Vegas?

I included ASU because it's a huge school and will likely have a lot of alumni who are relatively close to Vegas, and because we've never played ASU.

Be careful what you wish for. Those are some cheap shot fockers right there.

That was an entertaining hockey game despite the shootout loss. Got another point and with UMD losing it puts the boys up 9 points with 5 games to go
 
Re: University of North Dakota '19-'20 Season Thread - There's this Tournament in Mar

It was a fun series to watch. Give the Huskies all the credit in the world. Always a tough series in the concrete center. Despite only getting 1 of 6 points the Sioux still have a 6 point lead over UMD with 4 games to go. Also remained number 1 in the pairwise

Fun to watch?! I'd rather watch North Dakota's women's teams of yesteryear. They were better with their fists.

As far as this squad's FIGHTING HAWKS moniker, wouldn't SQUABBLING SQUAWS be more descriptive?

My choices for opponent would be any of the following:

Arizona State
Michigan
BC
Minnesota

Boston College = Been there, done them.

The Golden Chokers can't fill half their seats at home. Half the seats that are filled, are occupied by children eating the CUB Foods $1 hot dogs(a promo they stole from Ralph Engelstad who used it so successfully in his Imperial Palace Casino). I'd consider adding the Badgers to your list. They hate us. We don't get to butt heads with them any more. By the 22/23 season they will have a competitive team again. Madison's more affluent, younger population, plus direct flights would have a better chance of filling T-Mobile Arena's seats on the loser's side of the rink.

It's difficult for me to admit it but I almost cried when the Gophers lost to the Pedos last night. I can hardly wait to get to Nashville so I can toss my bar of soap onto the ice during Penn State's warmup lap.
