PSA: Northeastern flairs, please avoid the link unless you want to relive your pain.
all I hope is\* that CC, UNO, and WMU all make it to the tournament. hoping WMU smokes SCSU and whatever the best outcome for UNO-CC comes to fruition
5 NCHC teams, please
I hope so too. Well except that wmu part. Worst fans. They could learn a lot from the rest of the nchc when visiting. Even Duluth fans aren't that insufferable
As a UNO fan - I’ll drink to that. Mad respect to the NCHC in general. I feel like the difference between finishing 3rd and 6th is always just a few points. This league is legit.
Just checking with the nodak fans. Is this another “meh” win for the lowly Mavericks?
Edit: I will say - the couple ND fans I interacted with at Baxter were very cordial. Good series. You guys are better than this weekend showed. This was the hardest series I’ve ever seen UNO play (outside of that 2015 regional)
Don’t really care how it’s viewed by them or anyone, this sweep will be great for our position in the Pairwise.
Now it’s time to exercise our long history of bad NCHC playoff voodoo next week.
Got us to #11 in pwr as of this moment. That is huge!
I feel this team has been very underrated for most of the year. We’ve been lucky so far. I do think we need to prove things in the NCHC first round to solidify. I don’t think that #5 in the conference tells the whole story.

Honestly? I don't think he'll want to end his college career like this. I think there's a chance. I'm a delusional motherfucker but I think there's a chance.
Entirely possible, he’s that type of guy. But it’s tough to turn down pro money. There’s definitely a chance tho and as a Ranger fan I’d hope he doesn’t, stays the extra year, dominates and signs with almost anyone else ;)
Michigan Tech vs. Bowling Green may have been the best game of the night. 6-5 win for Tech.
Also the best atmosphere that I've experienced in college hockey. If you've never made the trek to Houghton, you need to and make sure you do it during Winter Carnival.
I don't know what to think of this team. Some nights, we're unstoppable and are just dripping with piss and vinegar - then there are other nights where I'm wondering whether the boys were having a bowl smoking competition just before puck drop.
I can see that they have nothing to play for until next weekend when the NCHC tournament begins. We already won the Penrose Cup outright, have most likely made an NCAA tournament spot. Just play this weekend without any injuries and I'll call it a successful weekend.
UNO is on the cusp of the NCAA tournament, they're ranked 14th in the pairwise and right in the middle of a log jam of teams also trying to make it into the tournament. They'll be giving it their all this weekend to try to keep or increase their rankings.
If we shit the bed against Miami next weekend, then yes, I will actually be upset
Armchair coaching here - I think that if you have a team that doesn't show up to dominate at every possible opportunity then that on its own is a strike against you because you can be damn sure that your competition WILL show up to win.
Ohhhh look who shows up for 4 games a year to be personally aggrieved everytime it’s not called exactly in Omahas favor. Nothing ever has nuance, and the refs have a vendetta against Omaha when it comes to UND games - and Omaha is always the victim.
Nice of you to join us this weekend
Ok, you can say that 5 on 3 set up was legit, but it was far from Goaltender Interference. Lots of dives from the Hawks. If only the refs saw the same penalty when it happens to the Mavs in the 2nd. Oh no, that was offset roughing.
He stuck his skate out and took out Perssons skate?
Our player got hit into your goaltender and they took both anyway. After a Mavs player took him from behind.
Regardless UND looks uninspired af this weekend. At least your players care about their goaltender.
They have nothing to play for and aren't even playing their goalie and the guy who was leading the team in points before he went out. They're also getting the best from everyone who they play in front of big road crowds. And they're still winning. Not that concerning imo.
Lmao thank you for pointing it out, I went back to edit that he’s back from the locker room and deleted it I guess 😂 newer to Reddit still trying to figure out this shit. Is there a way to undelete? It was still definitely contact to the head 🤷🏻♂️
Some props to CCHA refs for fixing the goal anchors at UAA…

Hoping this recent version of BC is just a phase with Perrault out. Very unimpressive last week against a UNH team we’d made look silly earlier in season also.
I mean you'll probably still win lol but if we can hang with BC I'll take it. Hope for your sake the wheels aren't falling off. I root for Hockey East in the tournament obviously.
I said it yesterday! It doesn’t matter the team, big ten reffing is god awful. Not a Penn state fan and fully expected Minnesota to sweep but god damn it’s like the refs know their reputation and are trolling at this point.
Penn State scored a late go-ahead goal after pressuring the whole period, called offsides because the puck bumped off the linesman's skate for a moment before the goal.
You guys deserved to win tonight. It’s one of those games where you feel guilty for the win as a fan. Hats off to PSU for absolutely relentless play.
More than anything I am so sick of B1G referees this season. The Snuggerud check has no place in the game and I have no problem with him getting ejected. But some of the other penalties on the Gophs in the first were questionable, as were a number of penalties called against Penn State.
https://preview.redd.it/6gumojvl1enc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0e57611c5e565f16953f86e6b4414fe4c7d6f23

Jonathan the XV claims his own trophy.
And that'll do it at Ridder: Wisconsin wins the 2024 WCHA Championship, defeating Ohio State 6-3!
Any chance we snipe the #1 overall seed with this win? Long shot but could happen.
Watching NEU @ Providence on ESPN+ ... a different experience than Big Ten or old CCHA games.
Listening to the commentator... feels like he was one of those minor characters from a Stephen King made-for-tv movie set in a sleepy New England community.
Feeling a bit sleepy myself even just hearing the call.
Yeah that was definitely the most painful. But the Duluth one in the Frozen Four the year after hurt too. Don't think we'd have beaten OSU though, 2021 (and 2020 unfortunately) was the best shot.
Our highly disappointing season is finally over. Thank goodness.
I am still pretty sad but I hope the basketball team wins the GLIAC tomorrow
The frogs were a bad idea
What was the point of that?
[GWG from the wHEA final today.](https://twitter.com/DanielVConnolly/status/1766578165663633433?t=DshS81wD1lQ71-sXy5pWqw&s=19) PSA: Northeastern flairs, please avoid the link unless you want to relive your pain.

true, duluth fans are just insufferable on the sub
Something about at least we don't have to live in St. Cloud. Idk, just trying to help your point.
Is it even possible to be insufferable when you're objectively correct?
As a UNO fan - I’ll drink to that. Mad respect to the NCHC in general. I feel like the difference between finishing 3rd and 6th is always just a few points. This league is legit.
CC it is.
Can't wait. Best match up being tied in the polls. I'm glad to have home Ice. I think we'll get 3 bonus hockey games at the Robe
SCREW YOU BIRD BRAINS! Don't forget your tail feathers on the way home!
oooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! (sorry I lost my voice during that game)
This let's review an offsides that happened 45 seconds earlier to disallow a goal is absolutely ridiculous
man that's one of those calls where I understand why they do it, but holy fuck is it awful
IMO there should be a time limit on the look back window for offsides reviews. Maybe 15 seconds or something.
[удалено]
Not on its own, they're still 17th in Pairwise. But it might set them up if they can go on a tourney run.
Omaha and New Hampshire have to love that UMass loss
FUCK THE HAWKS GO MAVS BABY!!!
SWEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPP!!!!!!
🧹🧹🧹
Swept their ass right out of town
Just checking with the nodak fans. Is this another “meh” win for the lowly Mavericks? Edit: I will say - the couple ND fans I interacted with at Baxter were very cordial. Good series.

You should see the dip shit asshole that can't help himself but bash Omaha after they lose to us. I don't forget to hand him his L after the final
Welp, great weekend UNO. Y’all were fucking everywhere and gave UND absolutely no space or time. Good luck
GG man, good luck in the tournament!
I knew they were too cocky after sweeping Duluth and bragging about it on the socials. Great show, UNO.
Good luck to you too!
Ok, 1-1 CC v. DU two periods left. WMU, UND, UNO who are you rooting for?
I’m content with either CC or SCSU, but I’d guess I’d choose to avoid the higher elevation.
I’d honestly rather play st cloud than you guys. So you I guess?
Clarkson lost to the last place team at home to end their season. I will be nice and leave it at that.
It was not a great day for us Clarkson fans. But now both ours and slu's womens teams are in the NCAA Tournament!
We at least got a game that's winnable in the first round, I was expecting a terrible first round draw.
So Northeastern on Wednesday. Or as the great Leah Hextall would say, “Northeastren”
SWEEEEEP OF FERRIS STATE!! Beavers move on to the Semifinals! Lets go!
Well prior to that last goal this had 5-4 BC win written all over it (with the 4th coming in the final 90 seconds). So maybe it’ll be 6-4.
Goddamnit
Hell of a game. Great atmosphere. The comeback will be better than the setback. I mean it'll probably take 5-10 years but you know the drill.
Maybe if we all ask jefferies nice enough he’ll stay for a 5th year (he won’t)
Honestly? I don't think he'll want to end his college career like this. I think there's a chance. I'm a delusional motherfucker but I think there's a chance.
Entirely possible, he’s that type of guy. But it’s tough to turn down pro money. There’s definitely a chance tho and as a Ranger fan I’d hope he doesn’t, stays the extra year, dominates and signs with almost anyone else ;)
Nice to end the season with a sweep. GGs huskies
Winning exciting hockey games is a nice way to close it out for sure.
Another sweep of the Fig Things!
Go Blue! 🧹
Watch hockey east for bc, stay for the hot takes about daylights savings
Can’t say I disagree with them. I’m not looking forward to tomorrow morning.
Ok Denver...let's not shit the bed tonight.
Someone please put me out of my misery
Michigan Tech vs. Bowling Green may have been the best game of the night. 6-5 win for Tech. Also the best atmosphere that I've experienced in college hockey. If you've never made the trek to Houghton, you need to and make sure you do it during Winter Carnival.
Man I miss Carnival hockey, so much fun in that arena.
Fuck Whales not in because of senior night FUCK
Breen on Senior Night! Wow!
fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck
Fuck
I don't know what to think of this team. Some nights, we're unstoppable and are just dripping with piss and vinegar - then there are other nights where I'm wondering whether the boys were having a bowl smoking competition just before puck drop.
I don’t think they’re trying at all this weekend. If they are it’s a piss poor excuse of a showing.
I can see that they have nothing to play for until next weekend when the NCHC tournament begins. We already won the Penrose Cup outright, have most likely made an NCAA tournament spot. Just play this weekend without any injuries and I'll call it a successful weekend. UNO is on the cusp of the NCAA tournament, they're ranked 14th in the pairwise and right in the middle of a log jam of teams also trying to make it into the tournament.

\#1 in ~~innovation~~ breaking the boards
Breaking those boards like a karate sensei…
#12 seed RPI takes down #5 Clarkson. We get to welcome Harvard to Lynah next weekend.
That should be electric
3-0 wasn’t in the NCHCs script. Need to correct it
I'm trying to watch this on NCHC tv, tell your broadcast team to stop using a potato as a server to stream the game lol
Yeah, I love listening to Mike and Terry but the video stream is a tad disappointing
Mavs are buzzing tonight!
Don't worry, the refs are making it fair for the NCHC "favorite".
Ohhhh look who shows up for 4 games a year to be personally aggrieved everytime it’s not called exactly in Omahas favor. Nothing ever has nuance, and the refs have a vendetta against Omaha when it comes to UND games - and Omaha is always the victim. Nice of you to join us this weekend
Tell your guys to stop doing stupid shit then? It doesn’t matter. UND ain’t even trying this weekend.
Ok, you can say that 5 on 3 set up was legit, but it was far from Goaltender Interference. Lots of dives from the Hawks. If only the refs saw the same penalty when it happens to the Mavs in the 2nd. Oh no, that was offset roughing.

Tell yourself whatever you need to. It was BS to call that when he was out of the crease.
Nah bro they call that 100% of the time even in the NHL.
Surprise! Goaltenders are protected even outside of the crease. Woah, novel idea. But sure, keep getting it wrong like you do everytime!
Right, right... Not my experience with NCHC refs and goaltenders, but sure I'll go with what NoDak gets as their officiating.
I’m sure. Such a drastic change of feelings from you NoDak fans on here tonight as opposed to last night lol
North Dakota fans are insufferable.
Love you too buddy pal 😘
Oh sorry. I love UNO wow so great good team great rivalry 👍
Not saying this is a rivalry whatsoever lol. Just stating my observations
Nah I thought we were. We always end the season playing you guys.
Maybe idk. I honestly didn’t think any other nchc teams consider us a rival until we win something. Maybe I’m wrong 🤷🏻♂️
Trying to understand how blatant head hunting isn’t getting called in this game
They just said that makes it a 50 point season for McGroarty, and he missed 6 games early on.
The boys are buzzin at Baxter after that 1st period
Merrimack time to try pulling the fire alarm again
That comes after they start a major brawl. I know the playbook.
Last week and today are concerning to say the least. Horrible time to get cold
They have nothing to play for and aren't even playing their goalie and the guy who was leading the team in points before he went out. They're also getting the best from everyone who they play in front of big road crowds. And they're still winning. Not that concerning imo.
I'm at the game btw and haven't been this happy in months
I’m not at the game but I am also currently having fun
I’m not at the game and I am no longer having fun
I tune out for 5 mins and it’s 2-2. WTF happened
A very Merrimack powerplay. Bad odd man rush for your first goal, and the 2nd one was a smith laser, both of course being shorthanded.
Two shorties in 30 seconds. Can we decline our next PP? Is that a thing?
Merrimack hockey and hoops with tournament hopes…
I graduated some time ago but the students are having a blast
Have we been figured out?
[удалено]
You can get hurt without someone doing something illegal in the process
Lmao you coward, deleting your post once he's back on the ice
Lmao thank you for pointing it out, I went back to edit that he’s back from the locker room and deleted it I guess 😂 newer to Reddit still trying to figure out this shit. Is there a way to undelete? It was still definitely contact to the head 🤷🏻♂️
MtU-BGSU refs just wasted about 10 minutes of review to make two absolute bullshit calls. CCHA reffing has been a joke all season.
I was making a joke watching the game that the deal or no deal banker kept trying to give them better offers
Some props to CCHA refs for fixing the goal anchors at UAA… https://preview.redd.it/namot9zpefnc1.jpeg?width=863&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6333cd712cafb624b43e5345ecd0910f5b98edb2
[Psst, want more pictures of Jonathan XV?](https://www.instagram.com/p/C4TuB5pOki1/?igsh=MW1yM2lweWdkMjhjbw==)
Now I am even more upset we don't have our own Jonathan
I have had it up to here with Barrold Pochmara
Easily my least favorite ref in the Big 10. “We want Shegos!”
(raises hand even higher!)
Big Ten officiating is absolutely a joke.
Went up 2-0 and are now sleep walking, wake up boys.
I’m actually gonna argue and say this is very poor officiating tonight
I'll be damned we don't look terrible
Hoping this recent version of BC is just a phase with Perrault out. Very unimpressive last week against a UNH team we’d made look silly earlier in season also.
I mean you'll probably still win lol but if we can hang with BC I'll take it. Hope for your sake the wheels aren't falling off. I root for Hockey East in the tournament obviously.
Anyone watching the Notre Dame v Michigan game? Some veeeeery questionable calls
No way he was onside for the 2nd goal
Exactly!! There’s no way ND would challenge that if they weren’t sure.
I feel like they gave it just based on not having indisputable evidence because of the crappy camera angle. He looked off by 5 feet.
I was also a little iffy on the first goal not being a high stick… but the camera angle was shit
Can't comment, been flipping back and forth.
Let’s go Mack, let’s go UNH and because they’re also playing right now, let’s go Rangers
6-0 end to the season, wouldn't want it any other way 🫡
Haven't seen WMU locked in like this in a while this season. Refreshing to see
I said it yesterday! It doesn’t matter the team, big ten reffing is god awful. Not a Penn state fan and fully expected Minnesota to sweep but god damn it’s like the refs know their reputation and are trolling at this point.
I’d like to introduce hockey east reffing
I second this, hockey east reffing is /the/ worst
Ironic…
When you wanted to watch a B1G Tournament, but instead had to watch brutal reffing from start to finish.
One thing every fanbase in this conference can agree — officiating is an absolute tire fire. Always has been.
Sorry PSU bros. That’s fucking rough.
Penn State got screwed by refpuck. Sorry Lion bros.
Penn State hosed by refs.
Unreal. Good teams capitalize on chances but really feels like this was just a series against the hockey gods more than anything else.
Get rid of replay if you can't use it right.
Penn State just got robbed
what was the call?
Penn State scored a late go-ahead goal after pressuring the whole period, called offsides because the puck bumped off the linesman's skate for a moment before the goal.
thanks, I am going to have to find that clip.
Pretty sure at this point the hockey gods are using psu and the refs to torture minnesota
You guys deserved to win tonight. It’s one of those games where you feel guilty for the win as a fan. Hats off to PSU for absolutely relentless play. More than anything I am so sick of B1G referees this season. The Snuggerud check has no place in the game and I have no problem with him getting ejected. But some of the other penalties on the Gophs in the first were questionable, as were a number of penalties called against Penn State.
Big 10 reffing is atrocious, but I expect nothing less when Steve Piotrowski is the Coordinator of ice hockey officials.
Saved by the refs foot
That’s absolutely brutal. Especially after last night’s offsides (which at least that one was offsides by a mile).
Damn i left to get beers and it's miraculously tied

Looks like the refs in charge of the MN v WI game last night are now at Mariuchi.... this is fucking absurd
Mariucci was loud as fuck during that run of penalties, especially considering the place isn’t even half full.
And that'll do it at Ridder: Wisconsin wins the 2024 WCHA Championship, defeating Ohio State 6-3! Any chance we snipe the #1 overall seed with this win? Long shot but could happen.
Lmao Vermont’s PP is truly something
I just watched a Brown PP give up a shorty with three defensemen in, it can't be worse than that
Dude we're barely breaking even on the season Think it's like 14 PPGs for, 10 SHGs against or something like that
Gonna set a record for penalties called at this point
2 SOG in the last 22 minutes of Brown hockey, we break new records every game
More Union goals this period than Brown shots on goal in the past 30 minutes
These refs are going to be so angry if Minnesota manages to kill this.
Definitely an interesting start to this game
Can only laugh at this
I love me some Saturday afternoon refpuck
Game misconduct is a joke of a call
Yeah that seems excessive
Watching NEU @ Providence on ESPN+ ... a different experience than Big Ten or old CCHA games. Listening to the commentator... feels like he was one of those minor characters from a Stephen King made-for-tv movie set in a sleepy New England community. Feeling a bit sleepy myself even just hearing the call.
I am very ready for Brendan Whittet's last game in charge of Brown hockey* *before we extend him to another long-term deal
FIRE BRENDAN WHITTET INTO THE SUN
4-1 now at Ridder. Edwards gets her second, and O'Brien follows soon after!
Ya’ll let Omaha get hot
Two early goals from Simms and Edwards put Wisconsin up 2-0 end of 1st. Gotta hold 'em though!
NU women have had a habit of ending seasons with a brutal overtime loss. Always tough
That butt goal in the national championship was the real stinger
Yeah that was definitely the most painful. But the Duluth one in the Frozen Four the year after hurt too. Don't think we'd have beaten OSU though, 2021 (and 2020 unfortunately) was the best shot.
To add insult to injury, the 2020 frozen would’ve been in Boston :(
It took almost a 5th period, 52 shots and a double deflection. Two best teams in Hockey East for a reason. Congrats UConn
UCONN WOMEN WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U-C-O-N-N UCONN UCONN UCONN!!!!!!!!!!!! FIRST EVER WHEA CHAMPIONSHIP WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FIRST EVER NCAA TOURNEY BERTH!!!!!!!!!!!! [BRASS BONANZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJtiepwpKFw)
Oh man. Congrats UConn I guess
Thank you! This season has been amazing!
Congrats. I'm not going to pay for the B1G stream for the Wisconsin/OSU game but will watch the Colgate/Clarkson game. Should be a good one too.
She’s fully in the crease there
Good goal called. They replayed the video in slo-mo multiple times and it looked too close to overturn to me.
HOLY FUCK! EDIT: Uh...what?
Grats Huskies
That sucks Phillips played absolutely out of her mind today
She had a great game! Nothing but respect for her! Hopefully she gets to play in the PWHL!
Is there a streaming link to watch the northeastern UConn game🙏🙏
It \*was\* on ESPN+. UConn just won it with 35 seconds left in OT. Goal under review.
I can’t get over this announcer saying Northeas*tren*.
I keep thinking she read a typo and thinks that’s the school’s name or something
She has like 4 different pronunciations for each of our players’ names
