    Playing in front of the best & most numerous fans in hockey-crazed GF and the best college rink in America wasn't enough to sway his decision. Nor did UND's "culture" or tradition win him over. I think it highlights that he trusts Carle more than the UND staff to get him to the next level. I don't blame him, it sounds like he made a practical decision based on comparisons between the two schools over the last 6-7 years: one coach excels in the regular season; the other, the playoffs. If I were his advisor & not a complete UND homer like I am now, I would have also tried to steer him towards DU. Future head-to-head battles w/ DU over star players may play out the same way as Pohlkamp if Berry doesn't fix his mindset & start bringing home some titles. The precedent has been set.

    You forget that Pohlkamp played in the World Juniors this year with Carle as the coach. So, he knows Carle and played defense with Zeev Buium while he was there. So pretty easy to go someplace when you became familiar with the coach and know what to expect. 

  2. It is interesting that three of the four schools making the Frozen Four are private schools. They have a lot more leeway in the NIL money and with Michigan being the fourth school it is not surprising that most of the first-round picks are headed to these schools.  

  3. Have you ever seen a team as snakebit as UND?

    So, in this game Ludvig tries to clear the puck and puts it directly on our guy's skate and back into the goal. to tie the game. Third Michigan goal hits not one but two of our guys and flutters over to the Michigan guy all alone on the other side of the net. So we're now down 3-2 and have to chase the game. 

     

    I can think of so many times our hockey team has either hit multiple pipes or the other team scores off our guy. 

    For example: 2005 Frozen Four in Columbus against Denver for the Championship. Denver won the game 4-1 with an empty netter. First three Denver goals went off a North Dakota Player either a skate or a body. Two of which were power play goals. North Dakota out shoots Denver 21-1 in the third period and does not score a goal. One of which Fabian puts into their goalie (Maninno's glove that is inside the goal. But because the refs say they couldn't see the puck in his glove they disallowed it.  

    Or 2004 Regional in Colorado Springs when Parise was a sophomore. We lose to Denver 1-0 after out shooting Denver  38-9. Only goal Denver scores goes off one of our guys butt. 

    Just feels like we are snakebit when it comes to the national tournament. 

     

    Argh!!!

  4. Thanks for the congrats. I looked back and the first season I won was 2012-2013 season. The last season I won was the 2017-2018 season when I won twice.

    Sioux Survivor started in the 2007-2008 season and thanks to siouxforeverbaby it has been going on since then. 

     

    Thank you siouxforverbaby for doing this all of these years and keeping us all involved in the games no matter the score!

    What a haul! Who the heck is Todd Alexander? 

    Looked him up. He was on the team that year and played 3 games with no points. He then transfered  to St Thomas for the last three years when St Thomas was in the MIAC conference.

    That team also had future NHLers in Travis Zajak, and Drew Stafford plus Rastislav Spirko went to the Europe before finishing his 4 years.

    @bale31:
    Your post says you'll have at least eleven new faces on the roster.
    UND has twelve, maybe just eleven, guys returning. 
    Pretty sure UND is looking at more like fourteen or fifteen new faces. 
    Tell me your woes again ... 

    Well let's see in 2005 North Dakota brought in 13 freshmen.  They were:

    Joe Finley (D)

    Taylor Chorney (D)

    Todd Alexander (D)

    Zach Jones (D)

    TK Oshie (F)

    Ryan Martens (F)

    Jonathon Toews (F)

    Andrew Kozek (F)

    Brad Miller (F and then played D later)

    Ryan Duncan (F)

    Matt Watkins (F)

    Brain Lee (D)

    Aaron Walski (G)

    That team had 6 sophomores, 6 juniors, and 2 seniors. They went to 4 Frozen Fours in a row even though a number of players turned pro early. Not sure if this is even possible now with the transfer portal but we can hope?

  7. Hard to believe that the Pairwise was accurate this year. I get it that Colgate and Canisius won their tournaments, so they made it, but they are the anomaly and weren't expected to put up a fight. So those blowouts are not surprising. But to have Harvard at 7 in the pairwise and Michigan Tech at 10 makes them seem like good teams. They didn't show up. Even those teams that made it like Merrimack (14) and Western Michigan (12) got beaten by 4-5 goals. Gees the only teams that lost that looked like they belonged in the tourney were Denver (expected to be decent) and Minnesota State (their game seemed closer than the 4-0 loss).

    The Big 10 can crow all they want but to me it looks like a lot of fairly poor teams made the NCAA tournament and they showed how bad they really are once they got there.

    (How the heck does Harvard have 15 NHL draft picks and not even put up a fight once they get to the NCAA Tourney. Pathetic)

    Worst first round of NCAA Tournament games I've ever seen. UGH!
