It’s mostly bad defense. We had this problem last year. This D core has been underperforming for a few years now.
Yeah, I'm conflicted about this game. I'm happy about 5 goals on 43 shots, but upset by 5 goals on 22 shots.

Which is a stupid reason to pick hawks! How much fighting hawk gear have those students bought with that mentality? Almost worst than picking a realistic name that could actually be marketed……
Yeah. Definitely short sighted, but I'm not sure it mattered. I think it was the consensus choice of many people in the voting round. Not many loved it, but it was acceptable to many. Ultimately I think it was the inevitable choice once we got to the voting because the committee eliminated any truly interesting names.

Nodak is a throw back to teams in the past that used that name on their jersey during the “flicker tails” period. To say it has no connection to the university because it is not a nickname is just as bad as other people rejecting the f hawks name.
remember people voted for the fighting hawks name because they saw a cool logo that someone put out there that resembled the Sioux logo. Obviously that was not the one we could use and now we are stuck with the one gray hair Schaffer thought would Be good.
Not sure how much of an influence it actually had, but I was told by a then student that he and his friends supported Hawks because of the acronym "How About We Keep Sioux."

To think this all could have been avoided if they let the top choice North Dakota be selected. I think after a while a nickname could have been chosen instead of being forced on the University so soon after retiring the Sioux nickname and logo.
If they had waited, then we could have gone with Fighting Moose after that moose broke into Memorial Stadium.

This would kill March Madness forever. The intrigue of the tournament would be gone. And the TV contracts they have been able to negotiate will be worth far less.
I would certainly lose interest, but it might be a wash for the NCAA. They'd likely get more money and more fans watching from the bigger conferences that will inevitably fill out the bracket.
Conversely, the NIT might become more interesting to watch.

I'd like to see just an independent tourney for an autobid. Don't try to shoehorn all these teams into existing conferences. The autobid is key to survival, but if independents can schedule geographically appropriate games they will he fine. For the Alaska schools the exempt games are a big bonus. Alabama in the winter also a nice spot especially if it isn't every year
If all leagues went to 22 or 24 game conference schedules that would enhance things more. If the leagues all expand with the new teams interconference games decline and that isn't good for anyone.
Hmm. Perhaps they could form a conference of sorts that played bubble like tournaments with rotating hosts. Would cut down on the travel costs for the geographically separated schools.

Feeney entered the portal. Can't say I'm surprised.

20 minutes of video review and I get up to let the dogs out. Step in a large great Dane size puddle. Go to the bathroom to get cleaning supplies and find a pug size pile of trash. Clean up both messes in time to walk back in and see a bunch of gold helmets hugging each other. Seems about par for the night.

The Pandemic and the current state of the economy has probably played a big part in the number of butts in the seats. Last weekend, was a pretty good crowd. Base on some of the attendance numbers I've seen, UND is still doing well. UND is leading the nation, again, in attendance.
I'm surprised Wisconsin is second considering their record this year.

CHN is showing us at #12 PWR with a few games still to finish.
Still in the hunt to be sure but this losing streak stings for sure.
I don't have NCHC.TV this year but looking at the stats I've got to say that Driscoll has been under performing. How do we not have anyone better to put in net?

We stink right now. Hate to say it but it’s true. I’ve defended this team but they have to put a better product on the ice.
5 hours ago, siouxnatty#8 said:If we keep going like this we will drop out of the top 16 for pair wise and have to win the league tourney to get into the national tournament
We are not the team we were the last few years that's for sure. Makes me wish we had kept some players under the COVID rules but I get why we didn't.
That being said, I'm not too worried about missing the tournament just yet. We are still #11 in the Pairwise and Cornell is #14 now so this hurts but it won't tank us. We should still make the tournament but we definitely need to improve our defense and goaltending if we want actually do anything beyond making the tournament.

The lack of transparency is troubling. I know some on the committee have said they had no other options, but to my knowledge nothing concrete has ever been released to the public. $60 million is a ridiculously high number given the operation budget of other nearby schools. With enough notice, a targeted campaign might of worked, but Kennedy said they could save all the program earlier in the year only to change his mind later. That delay likely prevented any sport, including WH, from raising the necessary funds in time for the next year.

I go Driscoll tonight, but moving forward I’d like the goalies to split the weekend. Hellsten next Friday.
Not a bad idea. Neither goalie did well yesterday but Driscoll has been struggling overall. Especially on Fridays.

Not sure why your links aren't working, but thinking it may be because you don't have enough posts... if that's a thing. Anyway, your links are below. Also, thank you for taking the time to do this. There isn't a ton of press at this level so it's refreshing to see conference-wide coverage from another viewpoint!

As a Terre Haute resident I can confirm that ISU was pretty happy with their opening win despite the low passing yards.

Idalski didn't ruin the program, it was terrible before he took over and he made it a bit better. It was never great.
True, but he did so with a large budget and international recruits. Meanwhile smaller schools in MN were just as competitive as us with a fraction of the budget and using local players.

Not a single comment about baeball or swimming & diving? Programs that actually had a history and tradition?
And glad to hear Chuck is hoping UND is anchored with a huge financial burden.
I agree that this often gets neglected and like women's hockey, the argument that native North Dakotans don't have an opportunity to compete within the state anymore. However like women's hockey, it was a very expensive sport to maintain.
Long term, the squeaky wheel gets the wheel. I suspect sometime in the future (I have no idea or guess as to win), UND will bring Women's hockey back. I'd be surprised if the same is true of swimming and diving.

It's unfortunate, but realistically they both needed to take pay cuts if they were going to stay and keep the team competitive.

I’m not convinced it wasn’t rigged. Ridiculous that Hawks one. Whatever I accept it now.
It was rigged in the sense that all of the good names were eliminated before the public vote. Hawks came out as the consensus vote. Using "Fighting" and the How About We Keep Sioux probably helped push it over the top.
The logo has grown on me a bit, but I'll be happy when they finally change it (whenever that may be).

These photos are from the Twitter feed of Augustana's AD:
Apparently he was touring hockey arenas this week -- those at Miami of Ohio, Notre Dame and Coralville, Ia. DI hockey at Augie might actually happen.
And he didn't stop by UND? Slacker

He's my favorite Wild player, but I wonder if Parise would waive his clause to play for Hak given how this last year ended?
To answer my own question, I doubt it, but it's interesting to think about. Same goes for Oshie or Toews. I doubt they'd willing leave their teams, but it would be interesting if they did.

Agree about the game. Although one bad game shouldn't disqualify him from the Richter. Now, if we get 5 in Saturday night as well...
