Having watched at least parts of all of the games, and most of 4 of them, I'd have to say that these were the kind of low scoring games I'd want to see, with great saves and last second blocks by defenders. There were lots of good chances all around.I would still rather there be more than 2.67 goals per game
B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?
If it's a true goalie/defensive battle? I'm more than fine with that. If it's just tremendous offense beating good goalies on outstanding plays? Good with that also.
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
Agreed. The low-scoring games I don't like are where the goaltending and defense in general are "meh" and the offense is just worse.

I think we win the goalie matchup for every game left this season except maybe if it’s Tech. Another underrated feature of this juggernaut Gophers squad
No worries the Gophers won't pull a Purdue!
Pioux Nation is already at half chub on the idea of breaking out their Holy Cross jerseys on Thursday
I know you all know, but I want to start your day with a smile:
UND got beat in overtime to be knocked out of the NCAA and the region they are hosting. In overtime.
After leading 2-1.
You're welcome for this bit of sunshine!
RE SCSU-ND: OT goal is challenged & it wasn’t even close to offsides. Possible to eliminate coaches challenges in OT (all goals get reviewed automatically), similar to no challenges under 2:00 in the NFL?
Seems like it takes away from the moment having to wait for a challenge that will always come because there’s nothing to lose from opposing coach.
If the review came automatically & wasn’t from ND, my apologies; TV made it sound like that was the case.

Nope. UND challenged for offsides.

Now I have to figure out how to get tickets next week. This weird paper ticket issue with people having to pick up tickets from Will Call is weird and makes it very difficult to buy second hand.
How many Hawk fans are willing to drive to Fargo to pick up tickets only to sell them and turn around to drive home?
With the way the Gophers have played the 2nd half of the season (minus the 1 crappy sconnie game) I like their chances going up against anyone. Bring em on!
So we’re pretty much guaranteed to have St. Cloud vs Ohio State as the other game in our regional right? Can someone explain to me how that wouldn’t be the case?

Is it possible for them to change the name the tickets are under and have the new "owner" of the tickets be able to pick them up at will call.

The replay booth was so confused they aired a close offsides minutes earlier at the other end of the ice.
The announcers were fired up at first until they realized what they were looking at. ?

I'd think most of the Effing Hawks fans picked theirs up at the Ralph box office (that was the other option for will-call). Or, of they bought them early enough, got them in the mail.Now I have to figure out how to get tickets next week.

Fargo is sold out on Ticketmaster. Good luck to all trying to get tickets.

Yeah that part was actually funny
Starman got so excited when he saw NoDak was challenging when they had put up the wrong video on the screen showing the other end of the ice, and then the real video gets played and its not even close to offsides. Pretty classic...
Those two announcers were VERY excited when nodak scored vs their response to Jan’s goals.
That was still better than there being no hockey related content between regulation and OT. That was wild. I started questioning if someone had actually won in regulation, or if they weren’t going to air the overtime.

Video clip anywhere?
Starman is absolutely awful. Unlistenable.Starman got so excited when he saw NoDak was challenging when they had put up the wrong video on the screen showing the other end of the ice, and then the real video gets played and its not even close to offsides. Pretty classic...
@idontknow His pxp partner Alex Heinert is also unlistenable. I can see why he is the Whioux announcer. YELLS HIS GOAL CALLS.
I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.
They should use Matvick.@idontknow His pxp partner Alex Heinert is also unlistenable. I can see why he is the Whioux announcer. YELLS HIS GOAL CALLS.

He was at the women’s game.
Starman's role NOT renewed for college hockey playoffs. Not involved in ANYthing. Wow.
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
I know when Cappy was on the GPL Podcast that he mentioned that ESPN was going to try to strictly use people under the the ESPN umbrella for the games/studio. So, I'm guessing that Starman was a casualty of that as well.

@gopherfun83 Its confirmed that Purple Cows are out if they lose today. So its a must win for both teams in the CCHA final.
that just made my dayStarman's role NOT renewed for college hockey playoffs. Not involved in ANYthing. Wow.
Yup, you can count me in the group that can’t stand Starman, guy acts as if every wall battle is the War of 1812, and whoever was play by play last night was just screaming at the top of his lungs, very amateur broadcast.
I don’t mind Starman but I’m also in the category that likes Bucci so take what I say with a grain of salt?
Bucci is awesome. Melrose…. Not so much.
Holy Cross and Canisius tied after 1.
Winner gets the Gophers?
That's the rumor.

I like that Bucci elevates college hockey a bit, but I can’t stand his calling of a game. I didn’t mind Starman much of there wasn’t an NCHC team involved.
Merrimack leading BU 1-0 after the first.
Canisius 1 Holy Cross 0 10 min left in the 3rd
Canisius gets two empty net goals to beat Holy Cross 3-0.
It has been a really rough 24 hours for Sue fans seeing their two favorite teams seasons end.
Mankato scores twice with their goalie pulled to send the game to OT tied at 2. The Fighting Potulny's were so close to punching their ticket to the NCAA.
Pretty important OT coming up. Winner goes to the tourney losers season is over.
Mankato just won in OT.
Colgate beats Harvard 3-2 clinching a spot and eliminating Alaska.
BU beats Merrimack 3-2 in OT which clinches a spot for Cornell.
One spot left which will be determined by if CC wins. If they lose Merrimack gets in as an large team.
