This is my recollection as well, but I guess everything bad at UND is now Kennedy's doing.

While delegations is part of leadership, it doesn't absolve you of responsibility when it's done poorly. Ultimately the IAC and Faison/the IAC made recommendations, the final choice was still his.

Let’s just say that “IF” women’s hockey didn’t get cut, would we be having this discussion.

Yeah, let's piss off the 100 million dollar player in the room and see how long it takes the Ralph and the Betty to rot under the North Dakota state budget. GOOD PLAN. Let's go w/ that. . ..
@Hockeygirl97 nailed it. It's really not just that he cut women's hockey and S&D. It's that he paraded every coach out (except a handful of protected sports, which originally included WH) and said he'd only cut sports once in his admin. Then he said, jk sorry for all the drama. And then he quietly changed his mind and cut sports anyways (including WH, which was previously protected). And while they weren't pulling in tons of money, the sports he cut are more popular than many sports he left behind (track, soccer, tennis etc). Not to mention the school still has the pool to keep up. Obviously he inherited a mess from Kelley/Schafer and made a tough choice and he did so again when we switched to the Summit (which frankly Kelley should have done in the first place). So kudos for that part but beyond that I can't think of a worse way to have handled the AD budget cuts than he did.

Ugh. So back down to 20. We need to make up 7 or 8 spots in the pairwise or win the tournament. I'm an optimist but the light at the end of the tunnel is looking like a small flickering candle with a blizzard on the horizon

Fair points. I should have said they rarely cover college hockey. I mean, Ben Blood did make the Not Top 10 once.

ESPN Top 10 worthy
Too bad ESPN doesn't cover college hockey unless it's B1G Joke

Bad penalties in the last 15 seconds aside, how did we not generate a shot on our 1:45 PP

That’s pretty darn near 16!!
Based on the number of conferences you need to be in the top 10 to clinch a spot. Although typically there aren't that many upsets in the conference tournaments

100% chance they announce it this spring, IMO. With the amount of work they have put into the new arena project and the outspokenness of their AD or President since the NHL sponsored study, I can't see this not happening. And the more teams the better. Tons of parity in college hockey, and maybe more teams can help UND separate themselves from the pack again, as talent gets diluted across more teams.
The writing is certainly on the wall. As an IL resident though I dont know how they can justify the costs.

I'm never one to cheer for teams in my conference. I don't really understand it. They are our direct rivals. Why would we cheer for our rivals? With that said, I wouldn't mind if CC won one. Absolutely will not cheer for UMD, DU or SCSU unless they are playing Minnesota or Wisconsin. Maybe BC, too lol.
Mostly I just cheer against the Big Ten.

I agree that the goal should have been allowed, which would have given us a W, but even still it's been the same story most of the year. Lots of shots, we "outplay" the opponent and lose. Our shooting percentage is garbage. Whether it's bad recruiting or coaching, it's on Berry to fix it fast.
-
Seeing as my high school used the same logo as the Patriots (Rebels), and they even have an alumni on the team, and as St Louis fan I now despise the Rams...go Pats

By no means a Mafia Man apologist but Denver (along wit St Clown) is now off the table too. Two down, two to go, who then do we sweep?
I think WMU is possible. UMD will be tough but the next two series should be sweep-able after that

@runaroundsioux and @Rebel_Sioux
Didn’t like my comment, eh? So, which “couple” of the next three opponents do you feel North Dakota will sweep then? St. Cloud State is obviously now off the table.
@ Denver? @ Western Michigan? vs Duluth?

You say that but you literally led it with, "Didn't like my comment..." seems pretty petty to me
-
Jones only got his extension because he won the Big Sky during his contract year. Aside from that one year his tenure has largely been full of disappointments and losses. Brewster had more success earlier but has certainly been struggling recently.
Frankly, I cant remember the last time UND fired any coach. Unless they gutted the whole sport of course. I'd be surprised if they started now, but Brewster, Jones, and Berry will all be in trouble IMO if they don't turn things around by their contract years.
-
Hockey isn't the focus of this admin so I doubt they will pay for a 4 year buyout when Berry isn't the worst coach in the Athletics Department by far. They'll let him ride at least one more year.

I’m responding to Rebel_Sioux’s -1...
Seems a little petty...I disliked you pessimism of giving up now and focusing on next year.
I actually prefer the green jerseys...but the white is always classic and my wife rocks her black jersey so really the color is moot. I'd even cheer for us if we wore the rarely seen school color pink, in October of course.

What would a theoretical upset/sweep of SCSU do for our pairwise?
-
Every game counts in the pairwise but the season isn't over until it's over. We've been the last team in before and we've been the first team out. The former is obviously better than the latter, but I think we can still make it. The autobid is there for a last hope if nothing else
-
What if scenarios can be fun, but are ultimately unproductive. It doesn't change what happened or where we are now.
-
Is there a record for most goals on yourself?

Ah yeah forgot about volleyball, slot that in between men's bball and golf
That works too
You also forgot Tennis and Track.

The offense was there. Poor defense and goaltending though.

Hey, maybe I missed an earlier comment or 2, but has anyone noticed that our RPI would much better if we had swept Cansius? I mean, we'd basically be in at this point. :-D
