After playing the Badgers early in the year, I thought this team has the potential to be a Frozen Four team. Our defense was so good at limiting their chances and our goalie played great. How do we get back to that?
I see it as a matchup problem, and teams will now attempt to use the "formula" of CC and Omaha:
1. Hard forechecking in the defensive zone and play physical
2. Win faceoffs (CC and Omaha are very good at faceoffs) because they have puck possession and many goals are scored off of faceoffs
3. Aggressive PK to limit our power play
4. Traffic in front of UND net and shoot from the point
5. Good goaltending
These are just my observations. UND seems to have better success against highly skilled teams like DU, Minnesota and BU.

bubs needs to call blake, gaber, dylan, and perron and a dman into his office five minutes before the game cuss em out and take each one of their meticulously taped $300 dollar sticks and break em over his knee one by one and then yell at em "get the !@#$ out of my office and go kick their mf'n asses".....
Thanks coach! You should apply for the head hockey coach job because you have it figured out. The Bobby Knight or even Herb Brooks approach doesn't work anymore unless you want all of your top players to enter the transfer portal.

There is a good chance having to beat UNO today and then again in National Tournament.
Not really. If UNO is a 3 seed, they will likely play Minnesota or Quinnipiac as a 2 seed, either of whom would be heavily favored.

I don't think this can happen...but is there a scenario where a UND win over Omaha makes Omaha a #4 seed while UND remains a #1 seed, thereby resulting in UND getting placed somewhere other than Sioux Falls?
If so, that would result in an apparent conflict of interest, in that it might be to UND's advantage to lose in order to gain a preferred regional destination.
No. Omaha is locked in as a 3 seed. If UND loses, we will be a 2 seed and will be shipped elsewhere.

Good question, actually. It certainly relates to team speed, but I think of it as utilizing team speed. Dylan James is very fast, but he uses it to push defenses vertically. Johannes does as well. Occasional stretch passes push vertically even when they don’t connect by pushing defenders back from the neutral zone. CC and Omaha both had success neutralizing our speed and skill advantage in the neutral zone.
There; how’s that for full-of-shyt?
CC neutralized UND's speed by trapping and clogging up the neutral zone. They play like a Jacques Lemaire coached team. It is very frustrating to play against and requires discipline.

Denver and North Dakota do not need to win the NCHC tournament.
Omaha probably wants to win at least one game to secure an at-large bid.
St. Cloud probably needs to win the tournament for the auto-bid.
Omaha is already in the tournament and is a 3 seed.

Let's keep in perspective that he played MIAMI, would he have looked the same playing someone like DU?
He beat Omaha 3-1 Persson is 0-3 against Omaha.

Blake will play in the NHL for a long time. He needs to play one more year though. Def could play next year..I think time should be spent getting more consistent on the D side. But his O game is there right now.
Jackson Blake is a special talent. He is the only UND player on the 1st team NCHC, has a legitimate shot to be the NCHC player of the year, and likely will be a Hobey Baker finalist. I agree that he needs to get stronger and continue to work on his defensive side (especially since he is a Carolina draftee and they require players to have a strong 2 way game) and would benefit from another year. His dad would know that as well, so I sure hope he comes back for another year.

Every FF starting in Albany in 2001. Figured I was the jinx.
2016, FF in Tampa, I went to the west coast for a conference. We know what happened in Tampa.
2024, FF in St Paul? Now taking donations to send me to McAllen/South Padre (other side of country).
I hear you. I was at the 1987, 1997 and 2000 Frozen Fours that UND won. I was 3 for 3 and feeling like a good luck charm, so I kept going. I went in 2005-2012 every year, only to see UND lose or not make it. My kids implored me not to attend any more because I was seemingly bad luck, so I did not attend any more Frozen Fours, including 2016 when the Sioux won in Tampa.

Hey I was too. At the end of the first it was 3-0 (after Murray Baron of all people scored) and I'm not sure MSU had three shots. The concourse during the first intermission was spectacularly eerie, as the home faithful waited in line for their lukewarm weiners in stunned silence.
I think the attendance was nearly 17,000, and 16,000 plus had to be Michigan State fans dresssed in green and white. It was a very quiet championship game.

Yeah, I feel that way too, but when it gets to regional and FF play, teams seldom absolutely dominate. Note even sure the Circus completely dominated MSU in '87.
I completely agree with your point, but that is not a good example. I was at that game and they did dominate Michigan State. The game was never really in doubt. You are correct that is rare in regionals and Frozen Faceoffs though. I was at another FF where BC absolutely dominated both teams, including UND.

How bad did he want out of Fargo. He took a job he didn't even care about, as it turns out.
Wrong. Tennessee State was a good opportunity if he wanted to advance his career, but Iowa State approached him about an even better opportunity. Eddie George, the head coach of Tennessee State, told Tyler that this was an opportunity that he could not pass up. Rumor has it that he will make more at Iowa State than the head coach of NDSU.

Reality hit. He needs more experience else where for a Head coach resume. Im sure that was a discussion that was had between Polacek and Roehl.
Tyler Roehl got hired to be the associate head coach and running backs coach at Iowa State. I'm not a Bison fan, but Tyler is a great guy and this is a great opportunity for him.

Denver relies heavily on that top line. Defensively weaker than CC as well. CC does have one of the best goaltenders in college hockey too. I agree with the grit aspect. I saw so many bad shots taken on Saturday. Instead of working the puck down low and cycling, players would quickly give up the puck to bad shots, and that would result in the puck going the other way. Very little sustained zone time.
I don't disagree, but that really didn't happen until about 3 minutes left in the 2nd period. UND was winning 2-1, but had possession of the puck most of the game and the shots were 35 to 10 (and an even greater margin for shot attempts) when CC tied it on a questionable goal. Don't discount goaltending or the lack of good goaltending. Persson made exactly one tough save all night (right before the tying goal), but was fighting the puck all night and leaving rebounds. It appears that the CC goal that tied it at 2-2 deflated the team and gave all of the momentum to CC. Persson was not good either night this weekend, and was not good in either Friday night game against Miami. UND needs more consistency from the goalie, and they are not getting it right now. Persson's save % is below 90%, which is not good for a college goaltender. He can be very good and won some games for UND early, but lately he is a question mark. He never had a save % above 90% at Miami, but everyone made excuses that it was the team in front of him. The eyes don't lie and he is not a difference maker at this point. I hope that Hedquist gets at least one start this weekend until Persson gets his confidence back. IMHO, goaltending is once again the biggest issue facing this team. It has to be better to win 2-1 and 3-2 games against teams that trap like CC, Duluth and Notre Dame.

And what about the other seven games that they won?
Jordan Love's last 9 games:
212/300 for 2,422 yards, 21 TD passes, 1 INT
70.7 completion percentage
8.1 yards per attempt
116.6 passer rating
8 games with multiple TDs, 0 INT, 100.0+
Packers: 7-2Statistics for the year according to NFL.com:
Jared Goff 4575 yards 67.3 completion % 30 TDs 12 INTs 97.9 passer rating
Jordan Love 4159 yards 64.2 completion % 32 TDs 11 INTs 96.1 passer rating
Goff also beat the Buccaneers, Broncos, Raiders, Falcons--all teams that Love lost to. Goff did split with the Bears and the Packers swept the Bears, but otherwise, Goff had a better year. I don't know about the random last 9 games that you cherry picked, but Goff is better than Love in almost every statistical category. This is the same Goff that some Bison rubes on this board thought was worse than Wentz (those are the most delusional fans, although Packers fans and Bison fans seem to overlap). I hope and pray that the Lions get to play the Packers again.

Jordan Love has been playing lights out for the past nine weeks. While the defense may have sucked a majority of the season, the Packers as a team did not.
Really? Another delusional Packer fan who is drinking the puke green and p8*$% yellow kool-aid. In week 14 against the powerhouse Giants, Love was 25/39 for 218 years and 1 TD and I INT in a loss. The next week, the FudgePackers got boatraced by Tampa Bay at home. If the Packers are fortunate enough to get by the 49ers (which is very unlikely), they get the chance to get steamrolled by the Lions again. They won't catch the Lions sleeping again like Thanksgiving. It will be similar to the last 2 times in Green Bay. The FudgePackers are not even the best team in the North.

Maryland Heights Regional -- UND vs Mich & MSU vs WMU

Michigan State worries me more than Michigan, mostly because of very good goaltending.
