My Semifinals Prediction:

Michigan over North Dakota
Notre Dame over UMD

Both games go into overtime!

 

[ycebar]

UND will win over Michigan, UMD over Notre Dame setting up and all WCHA final. With UND winning the national championship

close...but you must have mis-typed a letter
The Bulldogs bring the championship to Duluth to go along side the D2 football Championship that we got this year

I agree with this

 

[riffjim4069]

I just wanted to reiterate that I really don't like this long delay between games. regardless, only 24 or so hours until game time

I agree with this

I second that! Possibly the last year for the North Dakota Fighting Sioux name and logo, this would be the way to end it with the National Championship!

- Go SIOUX -

I think you screwed up a letter.
I think you mean a WCHA final

The goaltending has been a bit shakey on both sides, but UMD is up 4-2 on ND halfway through...

 

[riffjim4069]

Good game...4-3 UMD on top of ND with 5-minutes to play.

Yes, great game!! :up

This is what college hockey is all about!!

 

[BillD1984]

UMD advances to the title game!

 

[Mr Tony]

WOO HOO!



1 game to go and its theirs

 

[riffjim4069]

Yes, great game!! :up

Great game and congrats to UMD for advancing to the finals. The Michigan-North Dakota game is brutal...barely any skating room out there tonight. Michigan is a speed and skate team, but they are having to play a very physical game...just need to stay out of the penalty box. I just hope the Red has a good strategy for the 3rd period because North Dakota has a huge team.

 

[riffjim4069]

Hunwick is the man and Red is the coach! We're going back to the finals!! Yeah!!!

 

[Mr Tony]

But ya gotta get through UMD

 

[Mr Tony]

Thought for the day

Michigan has had to go through 3 WCHA teams....and they are staring at a 4th
Omaha
CC
NoDak

and now
UMD

Wow, I didn't even realize this factoid! One thing about Saturday's game that is for certain...it will be a home crowd for UMD.

Go Michigan!!!

Two thoughts, holy hell what a game Hunwick played for Michigan. Michigan really only had two players show up, Hunwick and Rust. Rust was the entire offense (Michigan really only had a couple decent scoring chances all night), and Hunwick was incredible.

The game was essentially a ND crowd, really only a couple sections of yellow shirts. I expect the same thing Saturday, obviously a UMD crowd. Saturday really depends simply on if Hunwick shows up like that. I would think Michigan can be better offensivly against UMD than ND, I wouldn't expect another 40 save night.

Either way, that was a fun night of hockey viewing. ESPN does a great job with their coverage, love seeing Clement and Melrose back together a couple times a year. Man I wish ESPN would get the NHL again, at least a game of the week or something.

For anyone away Saturday night, I confirmed that XM/Sirius will have the game on their primary College Sports channel (for XM 143). I will be driving Saturday night so I was thrilled to see that.
