More Laurila goodness:

I certainly agree that there have been quite a few UND teams recently that have failed to live up to expectations. That said, there are many teams (including quite a few big name programs) that wish their last title was as recent as 2016. For our sake, I hope their drought continues and ours ends in April. You realize that you are posting in a thread calling for the head of the current head coach, correct?

Lot of good info on injured players in this article, as well as how dominant Wilkie was against RMU last season: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/carter-wilkie-had-a-big-stat-line-against-robert-morris-last-season Injury updates: Good news on Strathmann, Komzak, and Croal. Time to break that stat with Berg out of the lineup.

+1, well said!

Nice! Great memory with the cool souvenir as well!

I heard that and was assuming that they were implying "best UND player on the ice".

That's what we had with Hakstol every year, but every season there was a Fire Hakstol thread regardless.

I thought all we cared about was the Natty? 1 title = 1 title

He has the same # of NCAA titles as a head coach as Berry though. That'd just be an even trade. If we're gonna poach a DU coach, it would have to be the best coach in the world. David Carle, of course.

Ha. Hey Notre Dame fans, travel to Ireland for this game, and then wear a crappy sweatshirt to the game. Don't pack your ND jerseys.

Haha, right? BC's top line is deadly...scores all three of their goals. Prov had such a good run there after their loss to UND, now they've lost 2 in a row.

Then Prov did the same thing to BC the very next period. BC ties up Prov at 2 with an EAG with 4min left.

You think McKamey is only getting car washes to come to UND?

Unacceptable. TM

Yeah, they could get a nice brother trio there if they all follow the same path.

Brooks Cullen to MSU

Essentially just a boost to the destination city economy with the swarm of UND fans. But yeah, not very exciting to go to them with how the team has played recently in them.

Definition of a must sweep weekend right here. Need to get players healthy and get a couple wins to gain some confidence again. Get the PP and PK back on track. OMac nets a goal this series. Hobie and TJ each get a game. RMU swept Miami earlier this year (outscoring them 9-2 in 2 games) but just got swept by Sacred Heart last weekend. Go Sioux, take it to 'em.

You know special teams are struggling when two separate articles are written within a 3-day span about the PP/PK woes. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/unds-power-play-woes-without-cameron-berg-continue-in-loss-to-denver https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-penalty-kill-continues-skid-in-loss-to-denver

If I can get my hands on some tickets to ASU, maybe I'll see you two weekends in a row. Although still deciding on either WMU or CC series to come back to GF for...depends on what my son has going on in school. I'll let you know as soon as we figure that out!
