1 NCAA tournament win since 2016.

Berry might want to take a writing class or two otherwise that last chapter of this year’s book is gonna be a lot shorter than he predicted a week ago.

You guys almost sound shocked that the team is losing tonight. At this point in the season, are you honestly surprised at the results? Was the 0-0 “shootout win” a sign that they were gonna put it all together for the playoffs?

Win tonight and they have a shot to take the series in 3. Lose tonight and panic sets in tomorrow for this group. Oh-two-barbecue.

The players are stoked? Me too! With Chay Genoway back on D, I’m liking our chances!

The more the merrier, for HJ's and mimosas after the sweep this weekend, right @redwing77?

Ugh. We all know what that means.

Maybe if they made the women's hockey pucks smaller than the men's?

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't have skill. Wait, that's not it...

Can Moorhead just hold on in 3x3 OT and then play for the shootout win? Asking for a friend...

I tried this Google thing out, it's pretty cool. CDH 3, Maple Grove 1. Score one for the private schools vs the 3rd ring suburban schools.

Who won the earlier game?

He’s probably waiting for the amigo-money that CC comes calling with… Mrs. @Godsmack could only hope, right?

The guy’s a total jerkweed.

@The SicatokaI would also like to help assist with branding the hockey program in terms of jerseys. I was thinking totally outside the box and something original and fresh: black jerseys with red SCONNY going diagonally down the front with some red sleeve and hem stripes too. Your thoughts?

The feeling is mutual.

The tears of Gopher fans hating their former hero would taste delicious.

All the more reason to get rid of the abomination that is 3x3 OT and the shootout. North Dakota is not well-equipped to handle 5x5 OT.

I was just gonna say that.

All they have to do is get UNO to the shootout and it’ll be ballgame. Oh, wait…

Maybe recruiting more pre-law major hockey players would help?

Oof. I might have gone with, “we’re playing well right now and giving 110%” rather than coyly playing Joe Namath before Super Bowl III, but that’s just me…

I didn’t mean you in particular in terms of defending Berry and this season certainly isn’t enough to part ways with him. The trend however. barring a miracle run to the NCHC championship, has definitely not been upward. North Dakota has 1 NCAA tournament win since 2016 against someplace called American International College. 1 post-season win. Now ask yourself, would Dean Blais or Dave Hakstol have survived that statistic? I doubt it.

I dunno about that but it’s amazing seeing the pivot from Hakstol being excoriated for not winning a Frozen Four in what, seven chances, to defending Berry for missing NCAA tournaments altogether “because three straight Penrose Cups.”
