Was thinking I would have been proud even if we lost that game, but getting another thrilling OT win has made this one of the most entertaining stretches of du games that I can remember. Hoping for the win and the Broadmoor, but we already accomplished what we needed to do in amazing fashion. So a win is just gravy. Incredible hands by zucker on his breakaway goal. The kid is sick. Congrats to Sammy on breaking the save record, too.anonevermorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16935983850729635587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-52934009782450711072012-03-17T10:43:48.497-06:002012-03-17T10:43:48.497-06:00Thought it was pretty decent play/effort by Mermis...Thought it was pretty decent play/effort by Mermis through the neutral zone to help create a turnover, beat a guy to attack the zone, spin off the D who stepped up to stick to stick make a play to Tabrum for the post shot that then led to the Ryder shot and great poise & game winning goal by Larazza. Heck, it really even started with D-zone face-off with a blocked shot and getting out of the zone it just emphasizes importance of full ice play & "gaining the next zone", especially for a 4th line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-69346011565745421652012-03-16T22:38:26.365-06:002012-03-16T22:38:26.365-06:00Most of the UND fans already live in the Twin Citi...Most of the UND fans already live in the Twin Cities, and Grand Forks is only a few hours away, so it will be 15,000 Sioux fans vs 100 real Pio fans and perhaps 3,000 remaining Sioux-haters from other schools on Saturday.<br /><br />The big DU goal tomorrow is about not getting anyone else hurt.

After rehydrating and sucking down some serious protein and carbs, they will be good to go. Their bodies thrive on this. They will have had over 24 hours to recover and will be fine.<br /><br />The one aspect of this team now that stands out to me most is the relentless pursuit of the win. The have overcome long odds of late in games to win. They are experienced, the frosh are now sophs in reality and the team works well together. NCAAAs are all about winning like the last 3 games. We are very well prepared for the upcoming challenges.CO14ersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-11996111967163305232012-03-16T21:15:25.226-06:002012-03-16T21:15:25.226-06:00You always have to be scared with a never say die ...You always have to be scared with a never say die team.
