@SchlossmanGF@alexpicfaber Completely flat. Couldn’t move the puck, get shots to the goal. Kind of amazing that if Reschny doesn’t hit the crossbar they would have been tied. Kind of lucky they only lost by 1 goal.
UND's power play, a top-10 unit all season, went 0-for-5 against the No. 62-ranked penalty kill in the country. That included a 5-on-3 that lasted 1:57. Story on the power play from @alexpicfaber: grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hoc…
Denver's first penalty of the game comes with 9:46 left. Jamieson after the whistle for cross checking. He doesn't like it but at 4-0, the Pios had to be actual saints to stay out of the box.
Michigan's #1 ranked power play gets its first look of the game.
UND's Frozen Four run ends with an atypical performance for a team that was pretty consistent this season. Quick story: grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hoc…
2-2 after 2. We have ourselves a Hockey Game™
This is fantastic. Denver with a few really good looks late, but no dice. SOG are 22-15 Michigan.
This is such a good game man.
And North Dakota is done. The all-NCHC title game dream is over. The winner of Denver-Michigan plays Wisconsin on Saturday.
If Denver wins, it’s a head coach rematch of the 2022 title game.
How many times does North Dakota need to get dog walked by a Big 10 team in the tournament before their fans stop acting like the league is below them?
@SchlossmanGF They were older and handled it better. People shouldn’t be mad because this year could have been a disaster. I just hope this isn’t a repeat of Hakstol teams in the frozen 4.
UND's NCAA Frozen Four run comes to an end with a 2-1 loss to Wisconsin in the semifinals. A poor first period, a poor power play cost UND a shot at playing for the title. Simon Tassy and Ryan Botterill with goals for UW. Ellis Rickwood with UND's goal. UND finishes 29-10-1.
