They get at least a share with the win, regardless of what North Dakota does. No way they blow a 4 goal lead.

But not the number 1 seed

I wish I could share your hope, but the Sioux are playing awful right now. You'd think we were playing the meaningless game...

Really disappointed to see this team lay an egg in this particular game.

I should keep in mind that my expectations for this team were only to finish top half of the league, make the NCHC Tournament in Minneapolis, and make the NCAA Tournament. All are still very doable. It's just frustrating when you have a chance to win hardware at home against a mediocre team, and play like dog ****.

With the way they are playing, yep. I'm just stunned that they came out tonight and played like this...especially at home.

I feel bad for the seniors too. It's like a big "Happy Seniors' Day...Hope you like crap!"

Western takes a tripping penalty with 47.2 left.

Not sure how the tackle seconds before wasn't a penalty...

North Dakota takes their timeout

They'll have a 6x4 for 47 seconds to get the equalizer...

It had to be pretty egregious to get called under these circumstances.

They are reviewing the time on the clock I believe...

Clock now at 49.0 seconds...

FWIW, I would be furious if I were a Western fan. It seems as though the calls have been quite favorable to North Dakota of late...

That's the game. Western wins 2-1.

Congrats to Western on the win. Congrats to St. Cloud on the Cup.

North Dakota, you should be ashamed of yourselves. What a pathetic display on Senior night...what a joke.
