What a season for WMU. They triple crowned it and won all the hardware. Anyone know offhand the last time a team has won regular season, conference tournament, and national championship?
The 87 and 97 Sioux did...97 team had to share the conference title with Minny though.

Score prediction fot tonight...Western 27 BU 2. NCHC dominates! Alright, probably more like 3-2.

To be fair, being from Minot is more like being from Montana or Saskatchewan. Or Mars--look at Wilbur . . . .
Easy on the Minot area people...

Interesting dynamics with brothers.... perhaps Berry recalled Blais's stance with the Potulny Brothers. Or a different perspective, the Toews Brothers. I recall some jibber jabber on her that Jonathan was less than pleased with the UND/David situation & results. Did the program lose a potential ally?
I think Jonny bears a little grudge; don't believe the Cup ever came back to Forks after the Blackhawks won it. Please correct me if I'm wrong; I just don't remember him coming back. Now Matt Greene, they went to Judy's and some little bar up in Minto? maybe after LA won the Cup.

If schloss starts being too hard, there will be no media access to the team because he’s the only one to do it. He has to walk a thin line
Maybe the Heraldo needs a hatchet man to write all the tough stories about locker room cancers and NODAK trademarks. Then Schloss can write all ducky and bunny and xG stuff? A little good cop/bad cop scenario.

I would argue it is very crucial he shoots more because it doesn’t allow the opposition to zone in on the pass. Once you become too predictable it makes it harder to succeed with your best skill.
Just like basketball...if you don't take the open shot, the defense will just surround everybody else.

Jackson Blake with a goal (17) and an assist (17) today. 34 pts in NHL as a rookie. Guess he was really ready…
Yeah, but he still should have stayed.

I think NIL is about to get even more ugly. Tennessee quarterback is holding out of practice to renegotiate his deal.
I say cut him loose.

Off the ice? Bell bottom hip-huggers with wide belts and paisley shirts. Platform shoes. He'd go for Sly if he had bigger stones.
With any luck he’ll take UND Higher.

Ovie had a chance to go out on ice when the Hawks pulled their goalie. He said no
Props to him for that...he wants 895 to be against a goalie.

Whatever happens it's been a hell of a series with Denver this season. Our 3 games vs Denver this year were crazy close. Game one we went up 3-0 and held on for a 3-2 tie, game 2 Denver scored late with the extra attacker to send it to overtime and won in ot, game 3 was the nchc championship that we won in double ot.
Rooting for you guys! Bring it home to the NCHC!

+ The nodak logo was a very bad look.+Prior to this however, the a.d./berry had decided to bring mitchell miller in (a skilled defenseman)to join the hockey team. Problem was, he had been bullying a disabled kid for many years. This occured @ a school in ohio. This case made its way thru the courts. Miller wouldnt follow thru on the courts directives. Would not take responsibility either. A couple of nhl teams wanted to draft this kid. But th nhl commissioner ruled, miller wouldnt be allowed to play in the nhl. Still, our a.d./berry wanted the kid on our hockey team. Armacost found out about this. He also made the decision, miller wouldnt be allowed to play here. Und pres knew special interest groups would make life a living hell for und. The aclu would more than likely get involved.
So, why are these events so significant? This calls into question berrys ability to make smart decisions. In addition, his integrity, ethics, poor leadership abilties, lack of common sense, lack of intelligence and honesty really take a hit. No institution can have a person in a position of leadership. The damage from these two issues would take years to recover from. Please take the time to do some research. I believe you’ll find the backstory is very clear. Berry put himself in a very bad position. Im not out to make life miserable for coach berry. I believed in him. I thought he was a great guy. I just believe the whole story needs to be told. People in positions of leadership @ und need to know there’s no free pass. To sweep any of this under the rug and try to move forward. Would be nothing short of a travesty. Und my alma mater, and my favorite sioux hockey team deserves better. I still cant believe we didnt really know who coach berry is/was. If anyone wants to attack me for what i’ve written. Please have at it. Facts are what they are. Go sioux
Berry screwed up on the whole NODAK logo issue. Nobody knows for sure exactly what his involvement was but admittedly the optics are not great. He needed to be better handling this. As far as the Mitch Miller thing, UND knew his past and I think Berry thought he could bring him in and make him a part of the Sioux family and mature the kid. Again, optics not great but UND ultimately cut Miller loose.
Berry is no longer head coach due to issues on and off the ice; we should be willing to leave it at that.

Oxbow6 has the right question. This is the biggest redflag of all. This didnt just put a dent in berrys armor….it fractured it. Und realized he wasnt what we all thought he was. Berry needed to move on. Go sioux
We know very little of the background on this. I'm not a Berry apologist but it's a stretch to say one thing had anything to do with the other.
"Hey guys, I'm not going on the recruiting trip we had planned; I have to stay and clean up this NODAK nickname mess first."

So trying to hide the NODAK trademark fiasco took precedent over recruiting?

Apparently they weren’t studying much last Saturday night…unless they have a late night study group with the Pikes.

Are we going with Jacks or Jax?
I'm thinking its Jax, cause 1) this isn't crappy frozen pizza and 2) Jax works better for the inevitable "FIRE JAX" thread after he first time the team doesn't win every game next season.
Hey, I happen to like that crappy frozen pizza!

If I wanted to do a controlled demolition of college sports, I would institute practices & financial options without any limitations; all the while cheapening its original meaning.
Unlimited Portal & NIL. At this rate, it wouldn't surprise me if at some point the NCAA will institute Feb 1 trade deadlines, where hockey schools with playoff aspirations can add players from other teams whom they think will get them their next title. Or, not requiring any academic participation in the schools that athletes attend. May sound far-fetched to many, but most would have also laughed at NIL & the portal concept just 10 years ago.
You remove the checks & balances for college sports in a money-driven, morally-challenged society and you get something you may not have wished for. Slippery slope.
You are right on with this. How the hell we get the toothpaste back in the tube?
