Bring back Blayzsie?? Serious question.

Should prob start with some sort of conference affiliation.

I’d celebrate pretty hard if I was a new program that just won a destination game against a nationally ranked team and held them to only 15 sog in the process. I’m less worried about how the other team celebrated and more worried about how poor UND looked.

Oh for sure. Not a single player on their roster has over 2 goals this season. Except for Jack Randl...who has 10 goals already. This kid must have eaten nothing but Wheaties this offseason. He scored 0 goals as a freshman at UM. Then 5 goals as a SO at UNO. 9 goals in 38 games last year as a JR. Now 10 goals in only 8 games as a senior? Very similar numbers to Judd Caulfield for his FR-JR seasons, but I guess Judd didn't follow in Randl's offseason Wheaties training for this season. They even wear the same number. If UNO were in my adult beer league, Randl would be the ringer that everyone yells to cover when on the ice. "Just watch #28!"

UNO always brings their best game against UND, and they're at home to boot. With how UND has played in their last few games, I certainly wouldn't be shocked if we had some more angry forum comments next weekend.

This has sweep written all over it. Not sure which team though.

Recruits decommitting isn't just a Berry thing. It's a college hockey thing. Didn't happen much at all 10+ years ago that I remember. Now it seems like every program (especially the big ones) have it happen multiple times a year.

Some of those "second-rate portal kids" have been playing well. DeRidder kept us in this game and the UMN games. Jandric is still our leading scorer. And we just lost to a team that is almost primarily portal kids. The portal isn't the problem.

Ouch

Well, we are #31 in the PWR currently.

They could just watch the last three games. No more scouting needed.

We do have Lindenwood on the schedule, but that's not until January. That could be a split at this rate, as well.

Yep. UND showed up for 3 out of 6 periods against QU. 2 out of 6 periods against UMN. And for 10min against ASU.

Exactly. Just like PSU last year. These destination games are nothing more than a way for opposing teams to get jacked up to play for one game in a pro-UND building. Obviously our players aren't interested in playing in those environments, so no need to continue scheduling these games.

The one win Colgate team had 42 sog against this ASU team a couple weeks ago (their lone win): https://www.collegehockeynews.com/box/final/20221015/clg/asu/

Yeah if this team doesn't make the NCAA's, this game will be a big part of that.

One word for that game. Embarassing.

They had to pull the goalie to do it.

YES!! Small celebrations at this point.

Yep.

Just get the puck on net. Holy crap, this goalie hasn't touched the puck in 18min.

Really pushing for that win.

You are correct.
