39-21 faceoffs? Holy crap guys. Brutal.

They could have had the goalie pulled at the start of the 3rd.

15-0 SOG this period...UNO has almost as many this period as UND does all game. This is tough.

I'd settle for a SOG or any sustained O-zone time at this point.

Both him and Croal.

I think it just matches the season thus far.

Injured

Hopefully someone -- anyone -- that can actually make decisions for this program is listening to those alarms going off.

Then we, as alumni, need to open up our wallets and start getting that 1883 Collective some real money. Unfortunately that is a double-edge sword...it's harder for people to contribute money to that as the program sinks lower without real change.

Yes, for sure. If it did happen, I'm guessing it would be more to do with the players than any sort of coaching adjustments. I think we've seen that mid-season (or mid-game) coaching adjustments aren't a strong suit of ours. The longest winning streak this team has put together is four games, and that was against Miami and SCSU. Not encouraging. We'll see how the team looks tonight....

Any day! Game Day...playoffs begin. 8 wins left to hang #9.

Yep. Let the horses run free. And this certainly isn't a coincidence:

A few UND players up for post-season awards: I'm guessing Boisvert takes this one. Plante was injured for a stretch but was damn solid when he came back. Buium's to lose. Maybe Jammer gets it with his aviation degree? Who knows. Even with his voice giving out a bit, TH is twice the radio man compared to Ciskie.

Dang, now that's a call. I'd love to see it. Can the boys actually string together two strong performances in a row against a decent team?

They traveled to Omaha on Wednesday according to the Herald article.

That’s my guess as well. Similar to how this past weekend played out. I predict a UNO win Friday, a UND win Saturday in a tighter defensive game…then UNO wins by 3-4 on Sunday.

Congrats to Jake on making all-NCHC first team! He was the only UND player to be named to any of the 3 teams.

It's do or die time...d-corps hopefully getting some reinforcements this weekend.

Sacha and Hampton the only unanimous all-rookie team selections:

I don't think lack of Blue Chippah players is what hurt us this year. We have more chippahs than half the teams in the current top 15 of the PWR.

Haha, so they have 12k of them to give away. Doh! Thanks coaching staff!

Dang. Here we go. This thread is always scary to open each morning.
