    #MNCAA Episode 136

    Presented by #TheSotapod🌲

    Stay WILD & up to date in the world of NCAA Division One College Hockey in Minnesota! New Podcast Every Thursday!


    SHOW OUTLINE

    Jan 28th: 10-13-1 Record - (6-8-0 NCHC)

    Friday: 4-3 Win

    Pionk (PP), M. Plante (PP), Bettens, Menghini

    Scored first, eventually led 4-1, almost gave it up

    UMD lost last 4 vs Den leading up to this game

    Plante’s tic-tac-toe goal (Suga/Arnott) was a thing of beauty

    Gallatin’s goal line stop made my heart skip a beat

    Klayton Knapp still starting - 42 saves on 45 shots

    Six penalties in the game (UMD: 2/2 PP - Opp: 1/4)

    Giving up PP to the national leader (31.8%) is not ideal

    Shots: UMD-30 | Opp: 45

    Blocks: UMD-21 | Opp: 7

    Faceoffs: UMD-24 | Opp: 33

    Saturday: 1-2 Loss

    Gallatin

    75th point of career

    Gave up a goal w/ 0:44 left in P1

    Went down two early in P2, but never gave up…good to see fight

    Max Plante & Shaugabay are playing PHENOMENALLY together

    Six penalties in this one (UMD: 0/3 PP - Opp: 0/1)

    Powerplay ran out of steam

    Shots: UMD-30 | Opp: 30

    Blocks: UMD-14 | Opp: 8

    Faceoffs: UMD-19 | Opp: 31

    Overall Weekend Notes:

    Why did Denver start Freddie Halyk on Friday?

    The disrespect is real

    Knapp - Rookie of the week (again)

    70 saves and .933 Save %

    Win vs a Top 5 Pairwise team is worth…one pairwise position

    UMD has won 4 of 6 all against ranked teams, two in the top ten, and they’ve dropped in the pairwise over that timeframe - insane

    If this is the UMD team we see the rest of the season, I’ll be ecstatic

    NCHC Updates:

    UNO sweeps SCSU

    Huskies are FREE-FALLING again

    ASU / CC Split

    Western sweeps Miami…to the surprise of nobody

    16 straight losses for the Redhawks

    The Rest of College Hockey:

    Bemidji and St Thomas split? Shocker to nobody.

    St Thomas (Religious school) never won on Sunday (0-7)

    Major upsets:

    Ferris St. 2 - 0 Minn. St (Fri)

    Mich. St vs Minnesota → Fri: 9-3 Blowout / Sat: 3-3 Tie

    Gophers shootout woes are unfathomable

    BC sweeps BU (6-2 and 2-0)

    UMLowell tie (SOW) and wins vs Providence

    Looking Ahead:

    UMD - BYE WEEK

    UMD @ Omaha (Feb 7/8)

    Next UP: UNO

    COULD be a ranked opponent…finally receiving votes again

    Only 1 loss in 2025 (UMass Lowell)

    Won 7 of last 8 (Miami (2) and Holy Cross included…but still)

    Mavs have to visit Denver first, so we’ll see if they can keep their momentum

    UNO leads UMD in nearly everything. Not blocks or PP.

    UMD UNO

    77.8 PK% 82.3

    20.2 PP% 16.7

    .890 SV% .934

    48.6 FO% 50.2

    Western Takes over 1st place from ASU

    Omaha finds battles back to second place…OMAHA

    Two points separate 1-3

    ONE point separate 4-7

    THIS is the week we start to see separation (None of the grouped teams play each other)

    #MNCAA Episode 135

    Presented by #TheSotapod🌲

    Stay WILD & up to date in the world of NCAA Division One College Hockey in Minnesota! New Podcast Every Thursday!


    SHOW OUTLINE

    Jan 21st: 9-12-1 Record - (5-7-0 NCHC)

    Friday: 2-7 LOSS

    Ty Hanson (SH) / Callum Arnott (PP)

    Gave up 5 before scoring their 1st goal

    Klayton Knapp yanked after 4 to preserve stats + mentals

    MBereko looked like an NHL goaltender to start this game

    Also pulled, but for a different reason

    Noah Laba’s night (Hatty) only one to outshine Mbereko

    5-game losing streak snapped for CC (it was building for some time)

    SIXTEEN penalties in the game (UMD: 1/7 PP - Opp: 2/7)

    All minors

    Shots: UMD-29 | Opp: 30

    UMD 12 vs CC’s 11 in P1

    Blocks: UMD-9 | Opp: 15

    Faceoffs: UMD-32 | Opp: 44

    Saturday: 4-1 WIN

    M. Plante (PP) / Bechen / Shaugabay (PP) / Menghini (ENG)

    Only 1 goal during 5v5 hockey all weekend

    PP is OK, getting good looks…PK was perfect on Sat, but shaky

    Giving up goals IMMEDIATELY after scoring is a PROBLEM

    Max Plante & Shaugabay are playing PHENOMENALLY together

    9 penalties in this one (UMD: 2/6 PP - Opp: 0/3)

    Powerplay still a problem

    Nearly didn’t score during 5v3 (~1:45) at end of 2nd

    Shots: UMD-23 | Opp: 28

    Blocks: UMD-20 | Opp: 11

    Faceoffs: UMD-27 | Opp: 34

    Overall Weekend Notes:

    Max Plante - NCHC Rookie (?) of the week

    Why DO they call it that?

    2nd RotW award for UMD in as many weeks

    Point streak is now at 6 games

    Goalie Questions still lingering

    UMD’s tied w/ Colorado College in Pairwise (33) and NCHC Standings

    CC is still ranked 19th while UMD receives…0-votes

    Do “bad” losses or “good” wins matter more? Neither I guess.

    NCHC UPDATES

    ASU sweeps SCSU

    Omaha sweeps Miami

    Western sweeps NoDak (5 Pts)

    UMD / CC Split

    The Rest of College Hockey:

    Major upsets:

    Stonehill 3 - UMLowell 2 (ot)

    UConn 4 - Maine 2 (Fri)

    Michigan 3 - Mich St 2 (Fri)

    NMU sweeps BSU

    Notre Dame 4 - Minnesota 3 (ot)

    Wisconsin v LIU (tie, Sat)

    LOOKING AHEAD

    #5 Denver @ UMD @ (Jan 24/25)

    Next UP: DU

    Another ranked opponent…wins matter

    Plenty of .500 teams that are respected, but you have to make it back to .500 to be included in that conversation

    Every weekend left on the schedule will be ranked (except Miami)

    Much like CC, only one chance to play the Pios all year

    Repeat Q: With super-conferences in sight, will there be less non-con games?

    Repeat Q: Do fans LIKE facing the same team multiple times every season?

    DU leads UMD in every statistical category but one…blocks.

    Does that mean UMD also leads in “heart”?

    UMD DU

    77.6 PK% 87.1

    19.0 PP% 32.5

    .884 SV% .924

    49.3 FO% 54.7

    ASU sitting in 1st place…just like everyone thought

    I thought Omaha was dead in the water. I was mistaken

    They haven’t ascended to a ranked status again, but they’re getting votes

    Still only 38 in the pairwise

    Colorado College and St Cloud are 7 & 8 in the conference, but both are still Nationally Ranked (19 & 17, respectively)
