Probably shouldn't admit that one of your most complete games of the year game was a against a horrible team in which you couldn't score. Doesn't give much hope for the future.

I've been told parity started way before the Big 10. It's just keeps increasing year after year! And luck. Hockey is all about luck.

That story is more reason to hire The Legend!

It's just parity folks. We've been told for multiple years this is the new norm.

Don't worry folks! BC has a horrible OOC record.

In Brad's defense, it was Hennessy who said this one. Hennessy was basically saying people are going to say mean things. It was like he was implying people will say this teams sucks, but he knows better than they do. Hennessy was also making excuses while Brad was answering questions....things like, "You guys did everything you could tonight."

Virtually verbatim.

Two National Championships at North Dakota. Two National Championships at Minnesota Duluth as a head coach. Coaching for a gold medal right now. How much to pull Sandelin away from Duluth?

Hennessy saying the better team lost this weekend. "Puck luck" kind of thing.

Berry: "We played the right way. We played 60 minutes." "At North Dakota we handle adversity the right way. You'll see guys dig in here." "We have to turn the page. It's a prideful group. We threw everything at them. It wasn't good enough. We'll make sure its good enough next weekend."

Boring ass hockey.

Keys to the game (do they ever really change?): Get off to a fast start. Stay out of the penalty box. Take the crowd out of the game. Contain Canisius's top player/line.

Congrats to NDSU for winning the most FCS Championships.

Surprised the refs didn't say since the placeholders knee was on the ground: play dead.

Wow that was a big no hold penalty on NDSU on that 3rd and 12.

EWU already hanging their heads.

Hope you didn't blink. 17-3 Bizon.

How much did NDSU have to pay these refs? The brilliance is a just a few key penalties early in the game can change the entire outcome.

Ahh, The anew "Denver Series." These could be more interesting-than-normal games for Fighting Hawk fans. It's one thing to watch the same old boring Dakota school rivalry games, but now there's an oddity cross country rivalry where there shouldn't be one because of hockey. These could be minimum benchmark games that UND fans want to see the standard as, ala the "Montana Series" in Football.

When I read the tweet, he made it sound like UND was facing this new red hot goalie Canisius just acquired. But in reality:

He couldn't win a semifinal game with his "own team" in a decade. How he expected to win two in a row to win a title?!

Herald Building Plans Progressing

Keep telling yourself that.

Which is natural. When you win the conversation goes, "Keep doing what you're doing." When you lose its, "What the F is going on?!"
