@AlexMicheletti The fact Hicks hasn't lost is the problem. Every great goalie lays an egg at some point. Now would be an unfortunate time for that to finally happen. Just sayin.

I’m going with Denver to win the National championship, Johnny Hicks has yet to lose a game in net for the Pioneers, they are rolling. Tough to bet against David Carle this time of year

The only challenge Michigan coaches should be issuing is to it's own players to sack up and close out a game.

A delay of game penalty for an unsuccessful coaches challenge would eliminate these silly challenges.

QU's bottom 2 lines getting eaten alive by UND'S. It's not a contest there. They're getting forechecked to deathly those 2 units.

@Gausmus47 An obviously huge difference between our 3rd and 4th lines. No contest.

Cody Croal, what a god damn beauty. Doesn’t ask for interviews, doesnt need any pats on the back, just shows up every night knowing he’s going to outwork whoever stands in front of him.

@UFCBIGTIMEFAN @Izzy_Warriors @BetOnUMD Shaugabay is an elite facilitator. He's as good of a passer/set up guy as I've seen in the college game this season.

@BetOnUMD UMD is deep and physical, great coach, Plante Bro's and soon you'll know just how explosively good Jayson Shaugabay is.

I’ve seen a ton of experts and people make brackets/picks, and probably 90% of them have UMD beating Penn State. Penn State is currently favored to win on DK/Fan Duel. I think it’ll be a close game, so I’m curious why so many people aren’t picking Penn State?

The ice in Sioux Falls must be horrible. Neither team can settle the puck down or make a play.

The one thing Duluth does really well is they funnel every puck to the net. They get a chance to shoot they shoot. No extra plays to look for something better. Get it there and crash the net.

Verhoff dicking around with the puck at the end of a PP leads to the second goal. The PP is over get it in deep and live to fight another day.

How can a review last this long?

Really liking the Swanson/Kernen/Reschny trio. They've got something going with that group. They've been relentless and dangerous every shift.

@UofHockeyBlog A lot of this generation of fans don't know who Troy Murray was but my former broadcast partner @tim_ctimh once told me he was the best 200 ft player he ever saw at UND, and he's seen a lot of them over the last 50 years. Troy Murray was electric.

RIP Sioux Legend Troy Murray

Difference in the game is the goaltending. Going to be that way from here on out.

UND misses Livinavage. Not saying the other defenseman aren't good, but Livinavage controls the pace of the game with his breakout prowess and helps them settle into their PP in the offensive zone. Game is less phoenitic when he's in there.

@UofHockeyBlog That's why all challenges should, if rejected, be a delay of game penalty. It would prevent these silly challenges. Losing a timeout isn't enough.

If this is a major, I’m not sure what we’re doing here. But the fact that the review is taking this long is concerning

@UofHockeyBlog Not a major penalty incidental contract. At worst it's interference but you can't call a minor after the fact.

Looker doesn’t miss a beat with a great line: “big collision…and Sklukinsky miraculously heals…”

@UNDmhockey If Western wants to make a run in the playoffs they have to do something with there PP. It's stale, no movement just 5 guys standing around.

KILLED THEM BOTH! #UNDproud | #LGH

After killing the 5 on 3 US needs to mount some push back. Can't sit back in a shell and defend for a period+ and think you're going to win. Canada gonna get to you at some point if you play that way.

The speed of the McDavid, MacKinnon, and Celebrini line is off the charts. If I was a defenseman I'd dread seeing them come over the boards.

@DominicMoser9 @UofHockeyBlog Haven't seen our defenseman turnover the puck this much all season. Livinavage hasn't had the jump this weekend he's had all season. Wondering if he's a bit under the weather.

@BIGOLY @UofHockeyBlog puck mgt awful this wknd--score 4 at home shld be automatic W

The hell are we doing, no 200 foot game to be found
