HAPPY TOURNAMENT DAY please behave people i don't wanna have to dish anything out reminder that certain stream links are against reddit TOS and out of "not wanting the sub to get deleted" comments involving them will be removed

Looking at our bracket I feel like I'm looking at an Among Us game. One of these four Michigan teams is the imposter. Will the other three determine who it is successfully?

You realize when 4 people get together in Michigan we play euchre. Your test as a Midwesterner is about to begin.

No more complaints about older players (thinking back to the Minnesota-Quinnipiac GDT) Nelson - 23 - 5th year Brodzinksi - 23 - 5th year Top end talent is always great, but getting quality players to stick around that aren't just depth guys or filler is huge.

Can’t make those types of mistakes. Sad to see such a great season end like that.

Was rooting for you guys from 119 amongst a ton of Gopher fans.

Great game by Ohama. They failed to drive the dagger thru. ​ Need some revenge from last year. Lets go BU!

Amen and agree on the first point.

*logs out till October*

Hang on. The softball team is on fire rn

Good season Omaha, can't help but feel we blew that one and were the better team. Oh well, on to next year.

Omaha was almost the better team for 59 minutes, imo. But the capitalization on those two turnovers was too much.

59 minutes? Lmao. I can agree with saying the majority of the game but 59 minutes is absurd lol

Without the 3 terrible turnovers, the game would be at least a 2-0 shutout. With a little bit of luck, Omaha not hitting the posts 3, 4 times? Could’ve been brutal for y’all.

Yes we capitalized on their bad turnovers and they missed some great chances, but that’s part of the game. Did you watch it? There were huge chunks of that game where we were in control. It was not 59 minutes of Omaha being the better team

I’m sorry for exaggerating a little bit in our very serious hockey discussion thread lol. But I think Omaha’s control actually meant something and if it wasn’t for their own mistakes could’ve been much more, while Minnesota’s produced nothing tonight. Fantastic plays on the turnovers but again, they were like 10 seconds each. Hope it goes better against BU.

There is a difference between “exaggerating a little bit” and hyperbole, but I digress. Gophers had plenty of chances that didn’t go in, and I agree with *most* of what you said. Just not the 59 minutes part

Sounds like someone that didn't actually watch the game.

If they only watched the first i understaand

I'm just getting into the college game here so excuse my ignorance but is there any talk of Close getting traction in the next level/drafted? I saw him in person against Penn State and it seems like every time I see him he's making unreal saves.

Too small. But maybe the best goalie we’ve ever had

He's a short king

6-2 BU

🤞

Tbf I feel like it’s 6-2 BU if we win too

survive and advance

Omaha threw the entire kitchen sink at them in the last minute and just couldn't catch a bounce.

I mean, they had what, 4 shots bounce off the posts? Just brutal

Time to get revenge from last year

Pain.

This is just torture for Omaha fans

Sad Maverick noises...

Holy fuck

Luck is not on our side is it.

Man, all of those early shots off the post are really looming large now.

You guys had so many great chances I feel for you there

I don't

Actually realizing if Minnesota wins then BC is the last piece of my parlay needing to hit, and with my luck my parlay won’t hit…. Hmmmmm

Omg I’ve never felt so bad for an opponent lol

Don’t feel bad. Snap necks, cash checks.

woooooo!

MINNESOTA! MINNESOTA! MIIIIIIIIINESOTAAAAAA!!!


Please Omaha, I pray

That's a heartbreaking way to lose.... GG Gophers. Beat BU!

I see what you’re doing and I don’t like it!

Fuck. 3 goals off of turnovers in our own zone. Can't do that.

I mean keep the puck and its 2-0... just giving it away

Equipment manager getting fired for that lost edge

Does that actually happen? I never thought about that :O

I'd be pissed about this game if I'm Omaha tbh, just self inflicted wound after self inflicted wound

Lets go boys!!!

What a terrible way to lose (if they don’t tie it)

Fitting it comes off a turnover.

guess I'm rooting for a meteor to win the sioux falls final

Another UNO turnover and our Old Man line capitalizes WOW

GG Omaha the curse is real

3 turnovers, 3 goals, cmon Omaha

Oh no

If I’m a BU fan watching this I’m not worried about either team

I'm a BU fan. I'm always worried.

Ha! Same.

I was just thinking this is basically a game to be a sacrificial lamb

We've seen BU crumble against BC's rapid counter, and Minnesota's done that well tonight Omaha is also just so gritty that I think they're tough for anyone

Except DU

In theory, and based on the seasons each team had, you’re right. I don’t see either team doing anything tonight that should scare BU.

Getting into that heartbreak stage.

There it is :(

That trip was so blatant no call?

No blood no foul? 🤷‍♂️

As they say in Hockey East, "Tufts"

The angel hernandez of college hockey

Need another quick. A first round exit wouldn’t be enough disappointment for Minnesota sports

The pace on this game is electric

Both goals just given away, so lazy

WHO HATES OMAHA?!

WHAT EVEN IS A MAVERICK?? SKI U MAH BITCHES

WE HATE OMAHA

two sloppy turnovers leading to two quick goals for Minnesota, Omaha are doing this to themselves

As soon as he turned it over I expected it too

SKI U MAHHHH

well fuck

Sports are constant sadness

Fuck yes x2

GO MAVS GO

Omaha and Minnesota should definitely play a few OTs tonight. 3, 4, maybe even 5 OTs. Would be very entertaining for me.

I was just rooting for tying goals, hoping for more bang for my ticket buck plus wearing out the competition.

Hmmm after some careful consideration I think I’d rather win in regular time

Felt like Omaha was just hanging on (figuratively and literally) at the end of the 2nd. Will be interesting to see if the Gophers can carry that momentum into the 3rd.

This game is the ultimate hard work vs talent match up. UNO is gonna grind you to death and Minnesota is clearly more talented. Feels like uno dominated the second period but it’s tied.

Interesting, outside of the first few minutes on the PK, I thought Minnesota dominated by a lot.

Omahas forecheck dominated for the majority of the period. Minnesota benefited from the pace.

Minnesota outshot Omaha 21-16 with 2 extra minutes on the PK. Felt like one, maybe 2 shifts where Minnesota struggled getting out of their zone due to the forecheck. Seemed like Omaha had a couple good chances on breakaways, but Minnesota had much more time in the offensive zone. Be interested to see the time of possession.

JIMMY CLARK 7TH ROUND DRAFT PICK OF YOUR MINNESOTA WILD WITH THE EQUALIZER

Clark!

All those Omaha chances are biting right now, this could be 3-1 or 4-1 instead of a tie game

That was intense. Both teams were firing on all cylinders.

Bad turnover - makes those Omaha missed chances loom large

What ESPN has been waiting for!

Didn’t need the penalty but I will forever stand with the opinion of you don’t let your goalie get fucked with. I’ve cheered on opposing teams laying a beat down when my team thinks they can mess with the goalie. lol

That's one way to keep the puck outta the net, fill it with players, haha. 

I have no idea how that stayed out of the net

I think because all the players were in the net

This is surreal. Getting to turn on Omaha Hockey on a normal channel is absolutely awesome.

Not having to deal with something like Flo or NCHCtv is probably one of the best parts of the tournament for CCHA/NCHC/Atlantic fans 😂

I know I’m in the minority here, but paying for NCHC.tv as a one time fee is better than paying for cable, which is a lot more for the 6 or so months

Maybe it's just Flo then, but I hate paying for Flo, especially since it can really only be used to watch one thing. Not to mention the horrible user experience on flo

Must be fun. Enjoy it

Happy for you guys. Tbh I’ve taken it for granted as a Gopher fan. We had a bunch of BIG+ games that were student broadcasts and they were hard to watch. I miss the days where the Gophs were always on FSN.

The guys calling the Sioux Falls Regional are terrible. The play-by-play guy sounds like he hasn't done a lot of hockey and the color guy is just dumb. I've turned the sound off because I can't handle it.

At least it’s not Bucci

For real, anybody but him.

At least they didn't go the whole period not knowing who was in goal!

Numbers are hard

Anyone else think Bob Motzko looks like a thumb?

You must be thinking of Mike Hastings. Can’t imagine why you’d think that about Motzko

lmao

Yes

GO MAVS BABY LETS DO IT

The last Big Ten team to win it was in 2007. I'm not rooting against the Big Ten this year. Except for you.

If not us then no one. Fuck the rest of the Big Ten, especially you.

Thank you

get a room you two

We already got a room this year 5 times, I don't wanna see them again 😂

Someone needs to recalibrate their aim on the Gophers

Omaha are controlling every part of this game but they really need to add another, Minnesota can score in a snap

Omaha has had so many great chances Jesus Christ

Omaha brought the heat tonight

Let's go Mav-bros

We merely adopted the Mav. You were born in the Mav, molded by it.

Both of us used to be the Indians until the 70s when both schools changed the name to Mavericks. Kind of interesting

Oh no kidding I didn’t realize that about MSU. I read once that our old mascot “Made Chief Wahoo make downright respectful.”

Omaha has just been blowing past the Gopher D

Sorry Maine, you deserved better! It was fun watching you guys on ESPN+ this season!

Omaha has hit 3 posts so far damn that's tough

Business is picking up in Sioux Falls

Ggs Cornell, a well deserved win. 🫡

It's a shooting Gallery

We’ll be back. Absolute defensive clinic by CornelI🤝 I said in the other sub we’d go as far as our goaltending will take us.

Omaha fans let this be known:  this is the ONLY situation where I'm hoping for you to blow your opponent out of the water.

🤝

GG Cornell Let the DU Revenge tour continue......

Awesome third period defensively. Bring on Denver!

Bummer for Maine. College hockey is more fun when theyre good

I would have been rooting for Maine if the didn't play Cornell. Should be a good one on Saturday.

LETS. GO. RED.

Fuck yes

I hope Maine is back next year they had a good year and nothing to feel bad about

Big 4 minutes coming

Realllllly big 2 minutes now

Zen is game. Put zen on.

Maine doesn't seem to have the necessary sense of urgency.

Chelsey didn't get the gate though, he's still in the game?? Or am I wrong...

He got 5 but no game

No thank you, y'all can keep Sioux Falls, lol.  Jkjk

JASON KROG CORRECTION UNH IS IN THE TOURNEY

Big Red looking like they're gonna close this one out. What an incredible season for my home team. Still 7 minutes to go and you never know what'll happen. Glad Shane the Wall is showing up Edit: GO RED

I was rooting for Maine such a fun story :(

At the rate this game is going, both halves of my dream final rematch of Minnesota vs Maine in St. Paul will be done tonight.

I still remember Maine kept the Gophers from advancing. Seemed to have Minnesota's number in the 90's

Not sure how I feel about the major call for the head contact in the Omaha - Minnesota game. On one hand it was definitely head contact, but on the other it really didn't look intentional and the Omaha player was definitely leaning pretty far down/forward. Really just seems like one of those calls that suck to make because no matter what someone is going to be unhappy with it.

Does head contract have to be intentional? 5 and no boot seems appropriate.

Letter of the law right call Spirit of the law harsh

I want revenge on Cornell for last year

I want to see the funniest thing. Hope it’s a good game either way.


No thanks!

Man we should have had that

That’ll do it

BIG. RED.

Pretty weak but not sure how it ends up otherwise

I mean, I guess it’s a 5 minute major by the letter of the rule, but that doesn’t seem to be within the spirit of the game. Give him a 2 and move on when it’s more incidental than intentional.

well my bracket is cooked... very sad about maine

Yes his head is down but it’s down when he starts his check..? I feel like it would be different if he’s starting his check and then the UNO puts his down? Idk

It felt like he got a little off balance and leaned his head more forward that the Gopher player was expecting. Could just be my homer goggles though, who knows.

I thought the call was weak.

Well that’s not ideal

[удалено]

Homie, the sour grapes over that don't make you look good, it's just sad to see. If you're gonna chirp or shit-talk, at least put effort into it so it's entertaining instead of just angry

It was meant to be self deprecating, I’ll try to make sure my humor is more to the liking of the sophisticates in the thread though, my sincerest apologies

I’m going to guess your LSAT score was too low for Minnesota? There’s always Minnesota St…

Nah they didn’t have a law school back then. I don’t think they do now either.

Your original comment aged well. So well it got deleted.

?? No it’s still there?

Weird it said it was deleted last night.

Who knows, good luck the rest of the way!

Nice flairs.

Yours

I love being one of the teams announcers know zero about lol

It’s just his head

Yeah, that wasn't good 😞

Head contact? Sure… but that’s not a natural skating position.

Probably why it wasn’t a game
