How the hell do you show up flat for a game like this? Pathetic. Lame. Weak.

...and the lines change again (but only at the bottom). I hope they do well and go on some kind of run, but can we really expect them to win 4/5 in a row to move on?

I told my wife "I like our chances 3 X 3 vs CC". I love it when I'm right (not often)

2nd period was better than the 1st, but not much. Especially not defensively. Wow, sometimes our Dmen just look like they shouldn't be...

That period sucked. Totally dominated by CC after the first few minutes. This team looks terrible right now.

I certainly hope not. Special jerseys are a celebration of the program, IMO. If your current team has let the program down, put 'em away.

Very well said. In game threads this year, I have been guilty of venting big time, but in other threads I at least try to keep a longer term, less emotional perspective. This season has been a strange outlier for everyone involved, for sure. Players, coaches, fans are all at a loss about how poorly they have performed versus expectations, given the number of draftees and general talent/advantages they have as a team. I know these kind of seasons happen, but this is one of the most pronounced I've ever seen, and I'm not young to say the least! I would expect that Berry has basically one more shot to right the ship, but honestly, another season like this one, and the numbers have to speak for themselves at some point.

This game would have been no big deal if UND had not pissed away the first 2/3 of the season. Outshot a good opponent by more than two-to-one, had three posts, got one of three points and a tie in the NCAA pairwise. Only problem is, they DID piss away the first 2/3 of the season, so this is now another nail in the coffin.

The jump they played with in the 3rd has been missing all season. Where the hell has that pace been? Go do it again.

I couldn't have said it better. Also started watching as a 4 year old in the old freezer barn. I've never seen a season go south like this when expectations were so high, not just locally, but nationally. Likely to finish with a losing record. Dark days for the program.

Does anyone believe this team can do anything anymore? I can't imagine why. MOST DISAPPOINTING TEAM EVER.

Kleven: please leave. Berry: ditto.

If this team does indeed miss the playoffs for a third time under Berry, having been ranked top 5 preseason, then I say get Berry out of here. Good guy, but I would expect to be fired if I underperformed like that. The Natty is starting to look like an anomaly, and the norm seems to be missing the playoffs now.

My take on last night was that DeRidder looked very good, the team played a little better in the defensive zone (still not great), and ND finished well. Not an overly impressive game, but a decent road win. Goaltending and goals/shots were the differences. Can they muster any consistency tonight?

They look like a little kid soccer team in their own zone sometimes - everybody chasing the ball in a cluster.

After watching Frisch hand the puck over & blow the game, I turned to my wife and simply said "What a bunch of LOSERS".

From the article: "We've had three really good practices here." UND is doomed!

I was not exactly sober last night, and not very eloquent. I'll attempt to remedy that here. UND's defensive zone pursuit of the puck and ability to simply get it out of the zone is perhaps the worst I've ever seen. Not moving their feet, not playing with jump defensively. Losing puck competitions and allowing far too many passes within the zone. Berry's post game comments: "We have to be predictable for each other. Need to play 60 minutes, not 40." Same old, same old. This team apparently can't learn from film or games lost. Are any of our 3 goaltenders good? Not from what I've seen. One or two inspiring saves, offset by bunches of savable goals. Outlook? Yet another season where UND misses the playoffs. This will be the 3rd time in Berry's relatively short tenure, and the first time with as much talent as he has on paper. People need to start asking if we have the right coach, honestly. He's a great guy, but is he a great coach? UND deserves to have a GREAT coach.

To bring thins back to "point", UND sucks this season, after being a top 4 team consensus preseason. One of the worst let downs of all time.

This season is over. What a bunch of weak wimps. End of story.

Exactly. I feel like it should be ok to vent frustrations on a single game thread. But, the fact that this team has fallen from "Top 4" to "Pussies" this season is a travesty. Berry, what the hell, man?

I hate to say it, honestly, but this team is as much of a bunch of "cake eaters" as I have ever seen at UND. Seriously, what a bunch of pussies.

To be honest, coming into tonight, this team was a bit of an unknown. However, tonight settles things. They SUCK, End of story. End of season.

How is it so incredibly easy to score against these guys? Once again, 2 goals on 12 shots. But our xG probably has us in the lead.

IDK, but I wouldn't place ANY sort of wager on this team! We never know what to expect.
