We are the Alabama of college hockey, having won one title in the last 18 years? If anybody has a claim to being the Alabama of college hockey in the modern era, it's BC, like it or not. And I don't.

Top scorer in the history of the program was a senior who stayed for the education, even though he NHL wanted him. Our last Hobey winner was a senior. Jeff and Jay Panzer pitched in a little. You could just decide to play only first rounders, and the senioritis would be pretty much cured.

University of North Dakota Hockey 2019-20 Season
burd replied to Frozen4sioux's topic in Men's Hockey
I’m still holding out for Rasty Spirko to find a way to return for a year. Keep hope alive. -
What reasons for a bad season or two are you willing to accept? Good talent but poor work ethic? Good talent but bad coaching?
-
Agree. And I think all of us improved our grammar game this year. Put it this way: Having learned from MM, fewer grammatical errors were made this year.
-
We don't have a single player who would make me nervous each time he touches the puck if he were on the other side. A dynamic player. A lot of decent-to-good talent, but nobody with that combination of speed, strength and skill. That makes a difference, not just on the PP. I happen to think this team is well coached. Whether the recruitment planning is lacking--I don't know. They can play with the best, though, and they aren't out of it yet.

I just know that if we lose, they are bums.

The boys will play very hard, but they will need puck luck or an off night in DU's goal in order to win 2 this weekend. Along with stellar play by Thome. He doesn't need to be in a zone, just don't let in any he would ordinarily stop. Gardner fell asleep last night thinking, "Stay out of the box, Rhett. Stay out of the box Rhett . . . ."

It is. And there is enough talent out there playing on teams that are not "elite" that you have to respect them or you will lose to them.
-
Look at where traditional powers Michigan, BC, BU, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota are in the PW.
-
We have seen some dam good defensive and goalie play in the last two years. Too bad. I think back on the Greg Johnson, Dixon Ward years when they had a lot of offensive talent but not enough good grinders or defensive play to turn the corner.

The biggest share of his salary will be for acting as team grammarian.

What on earth gave berth to this anger?

Overall, I think the over-the-hill-beer-bellied-men did a decent job last night. As is usually the case with this group, they didn't cheer a full 60 minutes, giving up whenever the momentum went the other way. burd made some dumbazz comments as usual, making me wonder if he's ever actually seen a game. A couple of times, I thought they were getting so distracted by calls they didn't like that they completely lost focus. But, like I say, it wasn't too bad an effort, given the mediocre amount of talent they have. I thought stoneySIOUX cheered one of his better games. You have to wonder if they will cheer a full 60 next week in Denver.

If the boys don't pull off some magic and get in, I'll pull for Cloud. They've fielded some dam good hockey teams in recent years, particularly this year, and deserve a banner, IMO. Also want to keep it in the conference.
-
Kawaguchi has been doing what people had been hoping for from him--particularly possession hockey in the O zone. Maybe he's just gaining confidence.
-
Bowen and Johnson both should have prevented that one.
-
looks like a goal

Yon did play extremely well last night.

Question: If the puck hit a pipe at a UMinn-UMich hockey game and no one was around to hear it, does it make a sound?
-
That may be a legit criticism, but how, exactly, is Berry's system different from Hak's?
-
SCSU has won the regular season title in the toughest conference in the country 3 or 6 years. This is not your daddy's SCSU.

Anybody 25 or under and in college is a kid.
-
Much as we ride him, I feel bad for Gardner. These are kids still, after all, and I'm sure he's having a tough time right now.

That's hockey most of the time. Greasy goals and defense.
