There are no secrets when UMD is playing North Dakota. The game will likely be fast, physical, intense, and emotional. Zero pretense.
The emotions really didn’t spill like we’ve so often seen in Thursday’s 2-2 tie at the NCHC Pod, which was followed up by a three-round shootout that UMD won 1-0 for an extra point in the league standings. In fact, the five combined penalties for just ten minutes are the fewest we’ve seen in a UMD-North Dakota game going back at least 20 years, to the point where collegehockeystats.net started publishing game box scores.
