This team has fallen hard and fast beyond belief.

Wish I were optimistic enough to hope for a sweep. How about we win on national TV for a change, and go from there?

Stick a fork in 'em..... That was a must win. Just like last year, this version of UND lapses defensively, and quickly blows all the hard work.

I can't believe how far this program has fallen in the last 2 years. The entire coaching staff should be wearing paper bags over their heads.

Last year's team, which missed the playoffs, was 11-6-5 at this point of the season. But, at least they have "accomplished" some "firsts" by which to remember this year.

This particular game, this pathetic start to the "all healthy" second half, just indicates that this program has got nothing this year. Wouldn't be surprised if they lost tomorrow, too. Showed nothing tonight at all.

I frankly can't believe what I saw tonight. Talk about a team that doesn't look like they give a rip.

I remember Berry saying "I love this team" before the season started. I remember Berry saying that the first half was "respectable", and that he looked forward to a healthy squad. Well, your squad is healthy now, coaches. What the hell was that crap tonight?

No, their goalie is average, IMO. He stood on his head in the 3rd, but UND stepped on their ($*%&$*'s for the first two periods, so he didn't have to be great, except for 10 minutes at the end.

My God, does UND SUCK this year! Not acceptable. Not even close. If they miss the playoffs for a second straight year, I say Berry should GO.

still no feed

Aaaand the feed is down again

I find myself yelling at my TV a lot this year. Things like "Come on! Somebody make a play." Tired of seeing them play down to the level of their opponents.

Apparently, "Something went wrong" means people actually showed up to watch.

Nothing yet on their site

My take on Gardner was that he did not want to get all excited about scoring on 17 YO's. I've seen him get pretty intense in "real" games.

OK, so after thinking last night that this team might not have any rocks, they come out wearing my favorite black uniforms, & beat UMD at their own game. I knew this would be a season-defining game tonight. Went the way I wasn't sure about. Very glad to see it.

What blows me away is that, 14 games into the season, nobody on this team has more than 9 points. And after Gardner's 8 goals, the next best number is 4 (Mismash). Then, the next three names are defensemen, which means all of our other forwards are not producing at all. How did UND get THIS BAD at scoring?

IMO, ranting after a horrible loss on a gameday thread is perfectly acceptable, especially if you are not insulting individuals. I don't like it when forum fans start attacking eachother, but if we collectively want to bash the team a bit, sometimes that is warranted.

Problem is... this is not an anomaly. This team has not shown that it is capable of playing at a notch higher. I'd be surprised if they score more than 2 tomorrow, which will probably not be enough to win, given how soundly Duluth won the 50/50 matchups today, and how many screw ups our forwards committed. Just one mistake after another.

Anyone who will use UND's advantages to field a team that does not stink sounds good tonight.

Not to make this thread about football, but Bubba was a mistake, IMO. Why did we go with the homer guy, when a nation-wide search was supposedly done? The record is in - several disappointing seasons in a row should have been enough to clean house. Back to hockey - I can't remember the last time I stopped closely watching a game after 2 periods. This one was so obviously over, it was not even worth paying attention. Rock Bottom.

Ouch. A sad state of affairs this year indeed.

At this point, having ANYBODY score more than 10 points before Christmas seems like a stretch!

Have we ever gone 14 games into a season with nobody scoring more than 9 points? Seriously - ever?
