Meh... seems like they have picked up a coupe of question marks. The guy from Wisconsin, the other from Penn State, now Pimoniemi. They are losing a lot though. Wonder what they see in them...

I don’t remember him, is he any good?

But I HATE Denver

What have you heard?

Typical Denver POS goal.

Someone on this board still continue to believe that Omaha and Colorado College are easy outs. Newsflash: ‘ they are not!’

From what I’ve seen, hot and cold. Leans toward offensive at the expense of his job (defense). Takes ill advised penalties.

This is why I hate the portal. The non-elite teams will be harvested constantly in their fanbase will be disjointed and disconnected.

Denver is the team I hate the most. Always have, always will. I don’t know what it is about that organization in the officiating that seems to follow them everywhere.

Big loss for Omaha.

We didn’t play 60 minutes!

Ok, that was unnecessary!

It’s because of the pressure being put on by the fan base. I believe there is very little room for development at that position. Must. When. Now. No mistakes allowed!

Could it be that the stress of expectations on North Dakota is too much for some? It would honestly be understandable. Think about how those kids feel before every game and after every loss.

For me, there’s more to it than that. I think serious fans in general wanna see their team develop over time. One and dones don’t do that.. It’s not necessarily a bad thing when you had one or maybe two for experience or a position need, but when you start loading up 4,5, 6 of them, it gets old. It also kind of hurt your recruiting, because kids see that their opportunities to play dwindle with the addition of juniors and seniors. Kids, especially high-end kids, want to see a path to the lineup.

On one topic we lament ‘rentals’ on others we drool at what might be. Kind of kissing you wife on the way to the strip joint…

Turn out the lights as you exit the tournament…

DAGGER!

1. Denver is a very young team that has since developed. 2. Both omaha and cc have been on a development curve (omaha for 7 years, cc for 2). They are solid teams now. 3. BB has not failed in my opinion, what has changed has the NCAA competitive curve. We haven’t gotten worse, “they” got better. There are *more* good players today, development is growing.

The portal has changed all of that. Players buying in and going the extra mile is no longer the rule. Brotherhood is an exception.

But in each case, the skill team is relied on “puck luck“ to win the game. OK, exception is Boston College, but Isn’t it always?

Cuz of our weight.

I believe I said “clean physical game”. This in and of itself is a skill.

I’m of the opinion anyone that brings a clean physical game will knock them off their pedestal. Those hockey east teams don’t like to hit. They particularly don’t like to get hit.
