Hopefully BU takes care of that issue tomorrow.
Was NOT impressed with BU. And, I thought it was the Mavs game. Outplayed the rodents for long stretches, made some very costly mistakes. Especially the second goal. I had just stated to my wife ‘can’t do that!’ (On the failure behind the net) and *boom* in the back of the net!!!

I agree with @stoneySIOUX. You can't scream and yell at today's college athletes. They'll just leave and go somewhere else. You yell at them and they tune you out.
Agree, that’s why Blaise lost the room (and the momentum) in Omaha.

The Big Ten is overrated. UND will win this regional. None of these teams remotely scare me.
Famous (or infamous) last words. This is the regional that poor efforts go to die in. For all the talk about whether they’ve got the skill versus previous teams, the size versus their competition and their desire, the only thing that matters is can they put together 60 minutes of shut down defense and take advantage of offensive opportunities when they present themselves? Yeah, yeah ‘speed kills’ and all that, but not at the expense of sound decision making. Go Sioux!

Just got done watching the Big Ten championship game between Michigan and Michigan State. The boy had better put on their big boy pants. Both teams hit like Mack trucks.

We were once upon a time this season - still trying to figure what happened to that team. The regression of our defense is stunning - especially with the addition of a new defensive coach. At one point we were very difficult to play against.
“At one point”. You have to remember that several of the teams we played early in the season were young. Now the freshman are de facto sophomores. Teams adjust, good teams adjust well. Life in the fast Lane baby!

So when are we going to find out more about Ludvig's 'situation'? Or are they going to wait until after warmups on Friday to decide which goalie they're going with? I would think as a player you'd like to know a little in advance so you could mentally prepare.
I don’t know, in my opinion every goaltender should prepare mentally to play every game. Injuries, cold starts, the yips and everything else that can happen might happen!

How do we get that team that creamed DU and held them to four goals on the weekend?
Name, Image, Likene$$!

Bingo. I watched most of the game. DU was by far and away, the better team.
I don’t disagree, Denver was far away the better team, it’s just that it wasn’t decided until the last six minutes. Anyone of those open rushes by Omaha could’ve ended up with a tie game previous to that. Hockey is a fun sport, momentum can shift in a second. and quite frankly, the first two Denver goals were not exactly highlight goals.

15 shots on goal.
I get that, but it was still a one shot game with six minutes to go. With that said things could’ve turned out very differently. so I think dumped is strong language. I’ll also say that some of the penalties called on Omaha were “soft“.

Straw man argument. Put 20+ years of tournaments in Denver instead of St. Paul and there would be plenty of Denver and CC fans in attendance.
I just dropped over $500 for a weekend tournament in my own backyard…don’t have enough spare cash in my dresser drawer every spring to fund a 2-4 day hotel stay in Denver. Maybe that’s just me though…
Maybe we could build a city out of ice fishing sheds! Paint them all green!

PA's old sidekick is apparently back to his old ways. from the Strib:
Jeff Dubay, a former longtime sports radio personality in the Twin Cities, is due in court next week stemming from the latest of his many drug-related run-ins with the law.
Dubay left jail Wednesday after he was charged in Todd County District Court with felony third-degree possession of a narcotic and driving under the influence of drugs after a state trooper pulled him over in West Union earlier this month. Charges say he was wearing only a blanket while he was soaked in vegetable oil.
Dubay, 56, living now in Grand Forks, N.D., posted bond and is due back in court Monday. Dubay told the Star Tribune in a brief phone call that "the police report is full of misinformation and horrible assumptions."
On the evening of March 8, a state trooper saw an SUV traveling erratically before stopping in the West Union Catholic Church parking lot. The SUV then left the parking lot, prompting the trooper to pull the driver over.
Dubay explained he was heading to Fargo and got off the freeway in order to get the Minnesota Gophers hockey game on his cellphone. Dubay, beneath a blanket and naked, said he had been sleeping at a rest stop near Avon earlier.
The trooper saw that Dubay was restless, speaking rapidly and sweaty. He explained that he stopped taking his medication. He acknowledged using methamphetamine about a week earlier.
As Dubay got out of his SUV to perform sobriety testing, he was covered in vegetable oil that came from a bottle he had with him. Drug smugglers have been known to use various cooking oils to conceal meth as it is shipped.
Dubay failed numerous aspects of the sobriety testing. A law enforcement search of his vehicle turned up methamphetamine and two small bottles of adhesive remover. "It was supected that Dubay may have been huffing from those bottles," the charges read. While at the jail, Dubay acknowledged using meth that morning.Wow, some things never change. It never ceases to amaze me how far some people can fall when they once had a good life. you never can tell. I have nephew out east who is the same way, it never stops. Had his own business, and a beautiful family, and now that’s gone.

True. But they were never going to win that game. They’ll lose to the gophs too.
I honestly believe that’s not forgone conclusion. Depends on what team shows up. If they can execute their breakout and manage center ice, I think it’s gonna be a hell of a game. They do have to prove themselves for the last regional they faced Minnesota in out in Colorado. They have beaten a lot of really good teams this year, and I expect them to bring an edge.

I’m sorry but Omaha isn’t that good. They work fairly hard but that’s it. They got dumped by DU and MN will dump them too next Thursday/Friday. It was another embarrassing effort by UND.
I wouldn’t say they got dumped’. It was 2-1 with 6 to go.

Mavpuck?
Ahhhhh MAVPUCK! I wouldn’t exactly call them fans, more of a self promotional vehicle. Have you ever listened to one of their podcasts? Number one, they don’t know much about hockey even though they tell you their experts. Number two, they just blather on. I tried to listen to a couple of them, it was horrendous.

He has been recognized by the NCHC for his defensive play, but I don’t disagree with you. He’s a Sioux fan, home grown, was needed for this team to be successful. Berg wasn’t pushed out though. I just don’t see that.
Never said ‘pushed out’, just maybe not the best season exit interview/review. Maybe he took the advice in a new venue, maybe the makeup of our boys helped that. I just remember him as a center ice hanger, not a back checker. Never said he wasn’t talented.

Gaber is so incredibly one dimensional. He’s a good player, but you can’t ask him to win you games. He needs a lot of help. A poor man’s Ryan Duncan.
The same goes for Berg. He does not demonstrate a 200 foot game in my opinion. Much has been made about the reason he left Omaha being little or no power playtime. I think it was more than that. I think he was being asked to do things that he did not wish to do. He saw an open door and he took it. He’s a good goalscorer don’t get me wrong, but I wouldn’t have considered him “Omaha’s best player”. I would put them in the same category as Jimmy Glynn a role-player to be sure, but not an All-Star.

If it’s not coaching why have we been so poor defensively with changes in the roster.
Could be the fact that the NCHC is reaching an equilibrium, ie the other teams are getting better both defensively and to a lesser degree offensively. Starman had it right, our bottom 4 would be playing for top 4 in most other conferences.

I always like to think our recruiting class is outstanding; however, are we being out recruited? Granted we had to replace an entire defensive crew, but how does someone like Omaha, and I don't mean disrespect, out talent us.
They didn’t out talent us. They out worked us. Say what you want, but they have 4 balanced lines who deliver effort on every shift. If they avoid mistakes, that is hard to keep at bay.

I like how you referenced I "participated". I did participate twice in that thread before it was locked. And in neither post did I ever reference Firing Hak. In one I defended the fact that it's still a long season and the other was some thoughtful data about our string of championships against the law of averages. Over the umpteen years I've been on here I can't say with 100% certainty that I didn't mention the good ol' #FireHak once in a fit of Frozen Four rage, but I don't recall ever doing it and have never believed firing Hak was ever the right choice like I truly believe that replacing Berry is.

And lastly, though the game view experience at the Denny Sanford Premier Center was great, the food and movement options, as well as the bathroom options were awful…
