    Hot take: Kunz has a spot on pp2, but he NEEDS to screen the goalie, clean up rebounds, battle along the boards and nothing else. He was great with screening for Gaber and Blake last year, but he's just stopped for some reason. The only time I remember him screening this year was for Perrons PPG in the Saturday game at Stearns.

    Agreed...don't notice him much out there.

    UND stuck it to themselves last year and has no one to blame but themselves.    In this entire run of futility in the post season the only pass Berry should get is the BU loss.  Everything else falls on themselves. 

    Well I don't know what it was with Omaha, but UND could not skate with them in the conference playoffs.  Saw that up close and personal at the Frozen Faceoff...not gonna make that mistake again.;)

       After losing 4 of 5 to Omaha last year, and totally ruining our season with the 3 losses in the last few weeks of the season, Berry better be able to flip the script at home, otherwise where are we at as a program.

       Rather than being a higher seed in Sioux Falls we have to play Michigan in Missouri and again our one and done outcome.  Of course why would we want to take advantage of a regional closer to home.

       Omaha is another program that has lost tons of players in the last few years, so if Berry can’t get it done now, when can he?  
       
      Think about it, we took Omaha’s best player, yet if UND doesn’t do something the rest of this season, Cam Berg could very well had a better chance at getting closer to a National title had he stayed at Omaha.  Think about that prospect!

     

    UNO really stuck it to us at the end of last year.  It was not a good feeling going in to the NCAA's.  This year, I don't have a lot of confidence that we can take the 4 or 5 points needed to finish ahead of them but hopefully I'm proven wrong. (happens a lot ;))

    It's wild that this is our first series against Omaha.  I have no idea how to rate Omaha they sit at 27th in the pairwise so we should win these games if we come out and play our best hockey.  

    So a full 60 both nights?

    Our first round playoff location comes down to this weekend, possibly Saturday night.  According to noted NCHC standings expert @brianvf, we need at least 5 points against the red cows or they finish ahead of us in the league and a likely trip for us to beautiful Magness arena for our season to come to an end.

    I'm still wondering how the group got two points at Lawson with the whole 4 shots in 30 minutes of hockey BS.  They did however, and our friends from Stearns county hot goalied the Pios and we sit tied with them.  Would've been better for our on again off again team had Denver won that game and then swept CC to finish in 3rd place and we take our chances with the Mavs in a best of five series.

    All I know about the red cows is they've got a great backwards goalie in Latkoczy.  They are dead in the pairwise water like another local team I know, but could finish top three in the league.  

    Survey says, lose Friday, win Saturday.  Plane ride to Denver Thursday.  Or do we go Wednesday?

    Sorry, what is a backwards goalie?

    That helps us if we want to potentially finish 3rd, although I'm pretty sure DU has the tie breaker on us so we'd have to pass them in points.

    Crazy to think we could finish ahead of DU in the conference and not qualify for the NCAAs.

    Thought UND was gonna get hosed at the end; figured a perfect ending for this game was Jake's goal gets wiped out and Western gets a penalty shot which of course they would convert.  BUT, they found a way to win.  Did Sioux play a full 60?  Not sure, as it was difficult to sustain much offensive pressure and seemed like the boys were constantly scrambling in our own zone.  Four SOG in the first period is not awesome, yet they were only down one at intermission.

    One thing I noticed tonight toward the end of the game is that UND had guys in there on power plays and key moments that absolutely are no threat to score.  Goddammit, shorten the bench and get #9 on the ice as much as possible.  Double and triple shift this guy; he can handle it.  And what happened to our Freshman Super Line?  Those guys hunt pucks hard.

    Anybody else notice Puggsley Adams hanging out by the Sioux Penalty Box?  Wondering if he would say the same things and offer the same finger gestures if he was standing out in the concourse and our guys walked by.
