Bucci is the worst.

They all could be playing with chips on their shoulder too. We stayed. We have something to prove and show out for the new HC. Hopefully they all do progress and can gel even better.

Saying things a lot of people will like.

It’s eye opening they’re not getting more talent even when you had the “Nodak Sens” just a few years ago. Both D and Forward palyers that were injected into their lineup almost immediately upon getting there. Why wouldn’t more kids see that and want that? Maybe that was an anomaly and the guys with nhl logos on the lineup card this year were more like a Collin Adams type. Can play D1 but won’t make it to the show. Kawaguchi was a recent surprise for me. He could change a game seemingly at will in college but never made it out of the AHL.

This can be said for any sport in the ncaa.

Western had 16-17 new guys this year. Who’s to say it can’t be done elsewhere? Remember when UND had 6 brand new D? That turned out to be ok.

Why do so many have to speak in code or so minimally? Explain comments or don’t comment and leave it to speculation

I wasn’t impressed with what he did with DSM of the USHL but that organization is a dumpster fire itself so idk how well that can be a gauge

One big circle jerk amongst the SS community? Some would prefer a ZJ

It’s probably been said but you gotta love seeing your teams logo on the ice and dashers and they’re not even playing. Shame.

Absolutely agree. Bittersweet. It’ll be better at home sites. And it’s not like they had success in the Faceoff anyway haha

How can we be unreasonable with 1 ncaa win in 8-9 years? It’s not acceptable bc it’s not the norm. I’d equate that span with Iowa Football. Winning seasons but 8-4, 9-3 trips to the outback bowl. Yippee. Difference is that IS THE NORM or ceiling for that program. UNDs situation currently shouldn’t be the norm bc it wasn’t with previous coaches with history of titles and ncaa successes. Non Penrose with a run to the FF is better than Penrose and one and done. Penrose is not a big deal in the big picture. Ask DU.

Pretend? It’s our decision. 🤪

Iowa’s club team even made the acha national championship a couple years back. Would love to see Iowa get a team D1. Would be cool as an alum

4 years ago today was UNDs last NCAA tournament win vs AIC.

Hell even guys who stay and then sign don’t always make the show. Or do and every year get bumped down a level until ECHL then calling it a career.

Kinda how when it was Junior A and ushl and other teams would go for the national title. Would be good.

My nervousness from Sunday evening to today has gradually turned back into excitement for next year and ready for what the future holds. Fresh start. Just bummed having to watch the national tournament with no green team. Just want so badly for this team to succeed.

Add Denver. They are arguably the upper echelon - highest standard - measuring stick of the last 10 years.

Also, has there been a thread that spits out pages faster than this one has? So difficult to keep up. Ha.

After reading the Berry letter, and seeing his gratitude and what this job meant to him, it makes me wish things would’ve been better under him. You can’t ask for more when people speak of their position in the way he did. Except results. But what ifs don’t change the lack of wins in late March/April. Hope he lands in a spot he can enjoy and succeed. Wish him the best. And ready for the next chapter.

Maybe this season and its blunders speak more on player leadership than coaching leadership.

Cancelled seasons get remembered. 5OT losses get remembered. I’m new to this fandom compared to everyone here but in the 13 seasons I’ve been around it’s 1 natty, and a lot of heartbreak even when the team was a juggernaut some years from 2019-2022

He’s won at every level except Detroit with a terrible roster and bad contracts out of his control.

This made me audibly LOL
