And keep changing lines right up to the last game/period/minute WTF
Is Brad just throwing darts for line combos now?

Optimism? Really? The team is playing for their lives to be able to play a little bit longer and not booking tee times. They didn't get to this point because a no puck luck. A calamity of errors would be more like it. From the HC to the team's captain. Any guess on who will be paired up for lines this weekend? Anybody think that the lines will be shuffled once again? Right or wrong? I have a small shred of optimism for this team. If they win the quarterfinal series this weekend AND win next Friday in St. Paul, I will attend the championship game on Saturday and cheer my till I have no voice.
All of this.

I'm going with the narrative from the newest UND hockey podcast. That is correct, no puck luck last Saturday. Won't happen again this weekend! UND Sweeps.
What podcast is that? Interested in listening.

get Littler and Croal with boisvert and UND wins in 2.
Any other lineup and UND is too soft to succeed, and are making tee times on Monday.
This would be a good start.

Love this and agreed, UND sweeps. Should have swept last week but no puck luck.
You’re saying the 7-3 beat down last Saturday was due to puck luck? Not sure that would account for a 4 goal difference.

What's with all the negativity on this thread? THIS IS PLAYOFF HOCKEY FOLKS! Throw out the regular season records and the horse !@#$ attitudes that have been persistent all season long. UND sweeps: 4-2 Friday, 3-1 Saturday
Have you watched them this year? Sioux are consistently inconsistent.

A few UND players up for post-season awards:
I'm guessing Boisvert takes this one. Plante was injured for a stretch but was damn solid when he came back.
Buium's to lose.
Maybe Jammer gets it with his aviation degree? Who knows.
Even with his voice giving out a bit, TH is twice the radio man compared to Ciskie.
Hell, I'd take the Mafiaman over Ciskie!

…and now we see a Schlossman article that says UND had the fewest power plays on record. Yet UND is one of the most penalized teams in the league. If that doesn’t tell you to change your philosophy and become more aggressive offensively, I don’t know what will. Take a look in the mirror and see what got UND their last National Championship— UND had the highest scoring defensive corp, along with guys with great offensive talent.
One of the most penalized with one of the worst penalty kills in recent program history. That doesn't make for a winning combination.

From Schlossman in today's Heraldo:
UND has known for a couple of weeks now that its only route to the NCAA tournament is by winning the National Collegiate Hockey Conference Frozen Faceoff. The league flopped in nonconference play this season, putting its members in poor position in the Pairwise Rankings.
That is true, but the reason UND is in a bad spot in the Pairwise is because UND lost crucial non-conference games. (See Bemidji, Cornell, and OT win against Robert Morris) If you take care of your own games, then you don't need to worry about how the rest of the NCHC played out of conference. The conference didn't put the Sioux into this situation; their own inconsistent play did.

I like it. Not ideal, clearly, but as long as Berry is coaching, I hope everyone embraces being the loveable losers. I know I have. Remember when they printed over 10K towels to lay on the seats for the 1st round? Very funny! In all seriousness, Berry's bad luck will turn around! % chance isn't zero either that they win a NCAA playoff game again at some point! Not this year, but maybe next!
Luck may play a part in some of the stuff that's happened with the team, but it goes way beyond that. And as far as loveable losers, I'm just not ready to embrace that for a team that I feel can play at a much higher level. I like the fact that UND is expected to be in the NCAA's every year; and have home ice for the conference tourney every year; and be a team nobody wants to face every year; and be in the conversation for a National Championship every year. This program has a history of high achievement; why would we want to settle for less than that?

Didn’t realize this, Norte Dame has only 2 regulation wins in the B1G. They also won both B1G tournament games in regulation.
My friend, who is a Gopher Superfan, said that there are four guys for Minny just waiting for the season to end so they can sign their pro contracts. Watching Sunday’s game against the Irish, Minny did not appear to be giving it their all. Maybe it’s because they already know they will be in the NCAA’s.

What is the agenda of this site?
1. Is it revenge?
2. Is it to shame the coaching staff?
3. Is it to help create a stronger program?
4. Is it to weaken the program?
5. Is it just to lampoon as a joke?
6. Is it to discourage young, talented, possible recruits, not to come play at UND.
7. Is it a self-gratifying exercise of trolling?
8. Is it frustration?
9. What is it?
It's whatever you want it to be; you want a place to celebrate or vent? This is the place! Personally, I like to read the postgame stuff because there's always stuff I miss during games that gets discussed/explained. Yes, there's a lot of crap but make no mistake, what goes on here has zero impact on the program, coaches, and players. Just my two cents.

Jonathan Toews is back on the ice after missing nearly two years
“I’m not satisfied the way things ended in Chicago. It’s not about proving anything. It’s just that there’s something left in the tank and I want to explore that. I want to go have fun, have a blast, play with passion. But at the same time, I still have some high-level hockey left. I want to be able to step away from the game having said that I’ve given it my all. And I still think there’s something left to give. Everyone just assumed I was retired, but I think in my mind, I wasn’t too sure for a long time. I just needed to not think about it, to just give myself time and space. … Now I’m really missing hockey, and I think that’s the biggest sign. I really miss the game and feel I have a whole different perspective and a new lease on things.”
So he coming back to Chicago? Or baby steps to see what he can do?

Gino won 3 Natty's but he ultimately got the ax after some down years in the 90s. Blaiser did it about right; got out after 10 years, 2 titles and the team was still at the top. Hakstol was probably the one who doesn't get enough credit; 7 Frozen fours in 11 years but ultimately no natty. When Philly came calling with a dump truck full of money who could blame him for leaving? B-rad has had some bad luck with the Covid year cancellation and the 5 OT loss to Duluth after they basically got a pass into the regional final due to that bunch of a$$holes from Michigan. Also the BU loss in Fargo looms large. Those were some pretty good teams that could have done more damage but ultimately didn't. The current streak of one and done in the NCAA's or missing it altogether along with some conference quarterfinal road series definitely raises questions as to the direction of the program. I'm pretty sure Brad knows they aren't having a great year but is remaining positive to try get a spark going into the playoffs. Guessing he will come back no matter what happens the remainder of this season, but he knows the results outside of NCHC play haven't been up to par the past few years.

You can stop at Hugo’s and pick up a towel to wipe away the tears after this coming weekend. For some reason they have 1000’s of them to give away.
Well it is spring...I could use another towel to wipe the mud off the dog.
