ah ok. Part of me would like their season to end so they can sign. How is Pinto looking
well you got your wish, they lost 5th OT. longest game in NCAA history.
probably a top 5 NCAA game of all time. Just Brutal. Pinto looked good up till the 4th period when he got crushed trying to play with the puck over the middle. I think that took everything out of him. He dangled past two guys and the third one said enough of that crap and just leveled him and sent him flying. He really did not look the same for awhile after that.
This was an absolutely brutal game all night. Just tons of big hits. Some of them weren't even legal but there was no way a ref was going to call it. The shenanigans were great. A MN player grabbing a ND players stick after he dropped it and throwing it all the way across the rink to the other corner.
A ND player leveled a MN player to the ice, The proceeded to smack him up side his head. It was a classic game.
In the end Mylymok broke free had Docker one on one, and used him as a screen shooting the puck right between his legs to beat the goalie.
I think ND could have played better. They did not press. Played a 1-1-3 where they were letting the 3 forwards do the heavy lifting and the defense men were just playing so far back. They were scared of MN speed instead of pinning them in, wearing them down and hoping they could tire them out and score a goal.
That's on the coach, bad game plan.
