That’s where I saw it. They’ll really need to rely on the Plante brothers making a big impact now, along with James coming off his season ending injury.

You had better be more concerned about Duluth losing Steeves to a pro contract.

Yeah, let’s hope they win two like they did after their last 2 reboots!

Probably a good thing that next year is the last year at the X, because people are probably worn out with the one and done that has become the standard. You watch, once it moves to the high seed’s campus, we will no longer win league titles. We don’t seem to be taking advantage of opportunity for home ice type environments.

How did we used to out talent Minnesota? We didn’t! We just worked harder and were relentless. Omaha was relentless!

How can this be when basically a home regional is on the line? It baffles me, how we can take one of Omaha’s best players in Berg, yet he was MIA against his old team. Is Gabinet getting his players to play harder, because they sure have lost a lot of talent the last few years.

One step to take would be to play players that are relentless. Berry brags about guys like Ness is what the culture of UND is all about. I would argue that the culture is about playing guys like that even though there are more talented players. Never mind the fact Ness has scored 2 pretty big goals against Omaha in his career. Why is it that Schmaltz is untouchable, but Ness has to prove himself week after week, and even when he does, he sits.

With Berry’s record of performance away from the Ralph where UND has had huge followings, maybe it’s a good thing we won’t be in Sioux Falls.

The fact that we got swept by two teams this year and haven’t played with an edge the next time we played them doesn’t scream out the culture Berry touts. Get it together for the tourney or this will just be another huge disappointment. I can handle it if you play with a passion and lose, but it certainly hasn’t been the case lately!

I will say that a culture seems to be showing up of “we play when we want to play, or we’ll start playing when we get desperate. Omaha plays with our old culture, they kept coming at us the whole game even when they had a comfortable lead!

You’re right. UND missed the tourney twice when we would have been at home because we were host. They need to take care of business this time and not give up another golden opportunity at playing at a regional that would benefit them.

I think they rebound to upper half of the league with James and Spicer coming back, along with Zam and Max Plante and Shaugabay, although I expect the latter will need an adjustment period, especially if he isn’t paired with finishers. They also have a high end defenseman in Kleber, and a highly touted goaltender in Gajan coming in.

But they do have a fan that looks like Joe Dirt!

He could be the man forever if he came back and put us ahead of both Denver and Michigan in Championships and give us our first back to back.

Thanks to getting swept by Omaha, now Omaha fans will scoop up all the regional tickets.

So who is the third homer in the booth on the St. Cloud broadcast?

Yes, they would have saved time if only they would have listened to the ultra-homer announcer. Lol.

Yeah, how do you not even that up, as Bremer got way more back than the brushing of the goalie.

Regardless of which team brings up the rear in the NCHC, UND fans will not understand how we could lose to the last place team. How many times have we heard how we could lose to Omaha this year and years past.

Sounds to me like a bunch of excuses that shouldn’t be happening now. I can see getting embarrassed consistently in your first year when the program was in transition, but to be this uncompetitive with someone like Borowicz on your team means you have failed miserably to surround her with talent and determination, or you can’t get them to buy into your systems. The fact that the assistants become the scapegoats and she is left uttering excuses instead of taking responsibility doesn’t give me confidence the program is moving in the right direction.

I would argue that we played better against Omaha but didn’t get the goaltending we got when we played Western. Western took it to us at home. I worry much more about Western’s offense, although both teams can have a goaltender that can play great.

Veremyev for CC sure is a bit of a punk. He definitely likes to push buttons like he did against UND. I’m sure he’ll get the other end of it too though.

Did the Miami player get a game misconduct for the kneeing? I would argue that was a more deliberate play than Wiebe’s hit.

Then we’ll expect to see Jace committing to a major program soon?

Traffic, yes! Never have I had to wait for a second light more often.
