Need chippahs and strong leadership. That's a tiny part why a coaching change was needed at UND.

Agree...but we can't have many consecutive years of one-and-dones either. Even when Berry was winning conference titles but getting bounced, the team didn't pass the eye test for me. But, everyone was like "we won the conference, so all is great", but you could see the writing on the wall a lot of the time. The 2020 season that got cancelled was a great example of a season where I feel we way outperformed our actual talent. #1 team in the country and all, but it didn't seem like a team that would go very deep in the tournament to me. Conversely, this team passes the eye test. All three phases of our team can win the game for us. If they are all clicking, we're extremely dangerous. The scary part is, I don't think all three phases have clicked at the same time, but if you could put it all together in late March and April, anything is possible for this team.

I wasn't 100% sure Dane was the right guy either, but it was hard to fathom how anyone could think that keeping Brad was the right move. It's amazing what some accountability and forward-thinking can do in a single year. Even if we somehow fizzle out in the playoffs this year, you can tell we're on the right trajectory again.

How does Michigan let Minnesota have essentially a 2-on-0 in front of the net when they're on a PK?

Probably because so many people who wanted Berry gone were called very mean things and many claimed nothing was wrong with the program. And now that the program exceedingly passes the eye test under new leadership, you can no longer even bring up the subject of past coaching anymore.

UND wins this game.

But Berry was a nice guy and all the old women on Facebook loved him. If anyone truly cared about UND hockey and actually watched any of it with their own two eyes, it was pretty obvious the program was going backwards in warp speed.

Looked like the .6 goal.

They listened

Brad's not coach anymore.

Mercyhurst will tie it... I guarantee it

They officially have a "hot goalie".

This game is too close for comfort.

Play entirely happened because of Zellers. Stating the obvious, but huge goal.

It's early but I'm getting "hot goalie" vibes already.

I PM'd you. Feel free to ask any questions there.

There is nothing we could do to BSU at this point that would constitute us being unfair to them considering how much our program has helped theirs well beyond anything they could ever repay.

Make it five

I can't believe Clay is calling the game. It is pure joy.

My body can only take so much. My body is tingling with joy.

DEAR LORD BABY JESUS....my favorite, how do we keep him forever??

Just got home from work, am I hearing Clay Matvick on the play-by-play??

I don't know what Greene's life situation was like back then, but Oshie may as well have been a Grand Forks resident with his dad living in town. Much easier for a guy like Osh to bring it to Forks. Greene also seemed very connected to UND. Toews did wonderful things with the cup up in Winnipeg with who he shared it with, so it's a bit selfish to think Grand Forks deserved a visit over that.
