Not a surprise, given we are in the conference playoffs for most leagues, but this is make or break weekend for many teams: SCSU (18) @ UND (11T) Vermont (15) @ BC (18) Providence (11T) @ Notre Dame (13) Winner stays alive, loser most likely can call it a season. Not conference playoffs, but Ohio State (17) @ Wisconsin (13) Potential for a lot of movement this weekend in the PWR rankings.

My take: Win tonight Win first round series (regardless is it's 2-0 or 2-1) Go 1-1 in Minneapolis Lose tonight Need to win NCHC tournament (maybe leaving the door open if they sweep SCSU on the road and beat UMD the first night) Simply put, win tonight and I think they will end up making the tournament. Lose and I don't see it.

Pathetic, can't make a 3 or free throw.

This is a nightmare.

Anyone know why?

Agreed, my rankings were based on them coming in their freshman year. Bowen and Yon have definitely been a pleasant surprise, especially given how both didn't have great years in juniors prior to coming in.

I know this is completely subjective, but if you were to rank the Freshman forwards from this class and next, after Jost, I'd put Mismash, Kawaguchi and Adams before the 2nd forward of this years class (Hoff). all light years ahead of Bowen and Yon.

Next years Freshman class should be good at the forward spot, Mismash (potential late 1st Rounder), Kawaguchi (2nd BCHL) and Adams (6th USHL) are a nice trio of forwards.

Expenses, Expenses, Expenses should be how Kennedy makes cuts for everything not in the 5 "core sports". It doesn't matter how the other sports are performing, because nobody really cares. If S&D won the WAC, or finished 8th, it's all the same in the minds of the vast majority. That goes for every other sport not in the core 5. The cheaper sports stay, the more expensive sports get cut.

This. Get ready for an opinion that will get ripped, but I guarantee the vast majority of people that are UND fans would agree with. There are only 3 sports that truly matter to UND fans, those are Men's Hockey, Men's Basketball and Football, I don't buy it, but you can add Women's Basketball and Volleyball to the list if you want to get 5. Outside of that, it doesn't matter how any of the other teams do, because people don't care. Those 5 are the core, fill in whatever you need to get to 16 based on what's needed by the Summit / what's the cheapest. If Tennis is cheaper than Swimming & Diving, cut Swimming & Diving and keep Tennis.

This is what I'd think too, they have two losses the rest of the way (both can't be in NCHC first round of Playoffs). This would take one sweep over the next 3 weekends, which as inconsistent as this team has played, isn't exactly impossible. What gives me hope is it's not like the NCHC is murders row this year and the teams UND will be playing the next two weeks are average college hockey teams. So is UND right now, but, they have more talent than both Miami and SCSU.

Just curious what's with the two prices (not weekend / game), but what was the difference between $14 and $10 ticket?

I really don't even know where to start. It's very clear to me that Berry and the coaching staff as well as the "leaders" on this team deserve equal blame for this season. What we all witnessed last night, on Senior night was completely unacceptable. The team looked uninspired and uninterested, I don't understand it. I'm going to stick with talent wasn't / isn't the problem with this team, but they are missing leadership, big time. Outside of Tucker, the pieces that were there last year that returned all under performed. Starting in goal, moving to defense (Ausmus) and moving to the forward group (Boeser, Poganski, Gardner). Minnesota is a good example this year, I'm not convinced they are a more talented group, but they play as a team and that is on Berry. As far as the rest of the year, are they statistically out of it, no, but there's nothing I've seen that gets my hopes up that they can win two in a row, much less make a run. I want to be proven wrong, but if they don't, at least this nightmare of a season will soon be over. Side note: I wouldn't put this in the same category as the WMU Saturday night game, or the CC Saturday night game, but instead with the SCSU Friday night game and so many others. Even when they didn't play well, it wasn't like UNO was head and shoulders better. Bounces, puck luck, whatever you call it, this team had none this year. Also, 9 times out of 10 the opposing teams goalie either played better or on par with UNDs.

Denver beating SCSU might have been the only game out of about 10 that went the way UND wanted last night.

Still trying to comprehend what Peski is doing, complete garbage.

BU dominating, Notre Dame goes down and score -- 3-1 Notre Dame UND getting no help early. Just take my list and whatever we want to happen isn't.

Yes

This strictly based on who's around us in the PWR and who would drop with a loss. There's more to it, so maybe we'd want BC over Umass? Denver over SCSU Michigan State over Penn State Michigan over Ohio State Minnesota over Wisonsin RPI over Cornell BU over Notre Dame UMass over Providence Merrimack over Vermont Umass over BC ??

That Idaho court is wild, it's like watching a game from the 70s. I mean what's going on here?

That's my feeling as well.

Definitely less expenses (probably considerably) when you consider they offer less sports and would spend less on travel with the sports they offer.

There's no denying they have problems scoring goals. I just can't believe (I guess to answer your question 3 more weeks if things keep going how they have), that they can't turn things around. They have the talent to average more than 2 goals a game. Need the big guns (looking at you Boeser) to step up.

Kennedy can't make this decision fast enough.

So, should the only factor to take into account be attendance? This is insane.

Since GF has youth girls teams, my guess on girls playing on boys teams over the age of 10U would be 0.
