Re: University of North Dakota... the March past March
What a game! That was great to see Kristo score the opener. He played alright, but it was wonderful to see him put that goal in. Frattin with two huge plays in the third to ultimately give the Sioux the victory. We didn't play all that well the first 2/3 of the second period, and we were a little lucky only to be down 2-1. Davidson's goal was huge as that finally seemed to get the team going again. Dell played okay, but I'm sure he would like that second goal back. The third period was amazing. Both teams were playing like it was for the National Championship. Tonight's game really reminded me of the 2004 Final Five Championship between UND and Minnesota. Both teams went head to head and gave it everything they had. Hopefully the Sioux have a little left in the tank for tomorrow night.
One thing I am concerned about, is the fact that it looks like BC MIGHT get sent West, as New Hampshire looks like they could very well end up a #4 seed. If Merrimack gets the other #1 seed (which according to Jim Dahl on siouxsports is a 50/50 shot if they beat BC) that would equal North Dakota having to play New Hampshire in the first round. Given that, I'll be cheering for BC.
Hopefully North Dakota plays with the same intensity tomorrow that they did tonight. If we do that, I like our chances. Good luck Sioux tomorrow night!!
