UND finds tough sledding against Tech
“It was a hard fought playoff game and we came up one goal short,” head coach Dave Hakstol said. Well two if you believe the video replay that was shown on television monitors the Ralph Engelstad Arena press box.
We only got one look at “shot” in question and then it was gone from the screen, for some reason we didn’t get a second look at the no-goal in question...

I thought UND was the better team for most of the weekend. I would give Badgers goalie Landon Peterson...
