According to GPL, the Denver pep band was actually the Edina H.S. pep band. Funny if true that the most successful college hockey program needs a loaner from the local high school.
Wonder where they rented the cheerleaders from too?

It’s the old, fat, alumni fans fault.

Okay, now listen to this:
It is totally fair to point out our postseason meltdowns. If the coaching staff is offended, then they need to get into a different line of work. My position is it isn't a lack of talent, it's from the neck up. Berry and his staff need to figure out why this team loses its edge after clinching the Penrose. And if that makes me "entitled", then so be it.
Ok, I get it, never said any coaches would be offended but alums. Class of ‘77 here & proud of it as are my classmates, friends & family. Got no beef with you personally, all good.

Kids do what they do.

Just wondering where allegiances lie. Know several alums, on this board & around the Midwest are offended from bashing individuals (players/coaches) & the negativity + sense of entitlement some choose to hold on to. Time to move on, it is what it is, our storied hockey program will go on with life in general. My only entitlement is that dinky social check 1x/mo. I’ll hang up now & listen.

You're comparing basketball to hockey....
The NCAA Hockey Tournament is the biggest crap shoot out of the 4 major sports. The 2019 championship Duluth won, they got a goal late to tie Bowling Green and beat them in OT in the first round. In 2018 they needed help to sneak in the tournament and then bounced Mankato in OT in the first round and then went on for 3 consecutive 2-1 wins. One bad bounce in each of those years and we aren't having this discussion that Sandelin is the savior. My point is not always the best or most talented team wins in the college hockey playoff format. Look at UND 2010-2011 team had 32 wins, third most at the time in program history, outshot Michigan 2 to 1 in the frozen four and ran into a hot goalie.
UMD is dumpster fire with other issues off the ice. I would much rather be a Sioux fan...
Here’s a comparison for ya …… NC$$ D1 basketball has 351 teams & counting, D1 hockey, 64 & counting. C’mon people, enjoy what UND has. Kentucky only has bouncy ball really and IMO, their alumni can’t hold a candle to ours in support of our Alma Mater, be it hockey, fb, bb, or whatever.

Shhhh, don't bring inconvenient truths into this (sarcasm).
Jeez Louise, 2 pages left to read with more of the same. Sounds like millennials vs boomers thread…. Mr. T and I finally filled our bucket list of seeing them win in Tampa. Loved all our travels supporting the team despite all the disappointment over those 16 years. Gotta take time to smell the roses instead of the losing stench & smelly hockey sweat.

Dislike the portal as well but Ciskie writes so sanctimoniously regarding anything UMD.

Grand Forks has never had the amenities of places like Denver, Minneapolis or Boston. But it hasn't stopped us from winning championships. And there is no reason why UND can't continue to be a blue blood in this sport. The thought of devolving into a mid-major program whose highest goal is making the NCAA tournament is nauseating to say the least. It absolutely must not be allowed to happen.
IMO, the tide is turning in these times & UND, Sioux, & city may be a breath of fresh air in comparison to the burbs for recruits & their parents.

Did we meet in the psych building @ UND? Can’t remember the name Twamley.

Well, our fan base is still loyal, ledgies and all, second to none & can still blow the roof off the Ralph & really anywhere we travel too. Until our cheering the team on vs jeering them, we will forever be the penis envy of cawllege hockey.

Yes, the team understands the fanbase & community all too well, yet all this understanding isn't pulling them out of a 1+ month funk. And I didn't imply that yelling was the solution, I gave it as an example along with being too soft as two extremes that don't work.
If I were a coach, I wouldn't want my assistants being 'yes' men & walking on eggshells around me; I would want honest feedback about what things need improving. And if my assistants are as myopic as me about what ails the team, I would reach out to those who know Sioux hockey & have a lot of hockey experience under their belts (Gino, Blais, Eades, whomever) to determine if they see something that my staff & I are missing. I would try to listen to as many perspectives as possible, pride be damned.
OMG all, R-E-L-A-X…..take time to enjoy the reason for the season! Go Sioux!

The Gardens in Warroad wasn’t available?
Pretty sure they could slam ice into the Winter Show building in Valley City like the ‘80’s and had 6000 seats.
Heck yeah, the rodeos in Herman Stearn arena were smelly fun. Believe there is an ice sheet in there now.
Is History Repeating Itself?
