The NCHC tourney is kind of pointless since the finalists are going to the tourney anyway. UND played better defense than Ive seen in a while, that will be their undoing eventually. UND played DU's game of grind it out, stop the clock, stop every scoring chance either way. Liked Jost's progression from when I saw him last, played more physical than before, not that he was soft but just went more after it now. He made a nice defensive stop one in one on a SH breakaway. I thought he was one of the most noticeable on ice making plays, using his IQ to know where to be and his tenacity is definitely his calling card. UND had him out every other shift protecting a 1-0 lead. I wish he was a touch faster speed wise, especially going up ice, he could be really dangerous pouncing on pucks that way. I think his skating in regards to agility is very good. Butcher is a calm, smart defender and a good passer. Otherwise he's not very noticeable, just flash but doesn't make glaring mistakes.
