  1. Yup. I don’t follow UND hoops as much as I used to but can tell you that Ihenacho had plenty of folks - including himself - thinking he was going to the NBA.
  2. To be fair, they won’t have to dodge bullets while walking to the rink in Fargo, so I’m thinking a few fans might make the trip.
  3. “…from-time to-time…” 16 times this season 2:00 or less in or 2:00 or less to intermission. That is essentially coasting at both the beginning and end of periods and it needs to stop.
  4. Jackson Blake
  5. How about the team on defense just play until the horn sounds instead of looking up at the clock hoping they can withstand the puck-shooting frenzy?
  6. Well, at least the ATFS group on Facebook was happy with the team’s “BIG WIN” last night.
  7. I think UND played a full 59:59 minute game but that’s just my hot take…
  8. Just fast forward to the penalty kicks and get it over with already.
  9. Well, as long as they “feel” like they won, then it’s all good. Are there “feel good” points that help with the Pairwise Rankings?
  10. 19:09 mark 1st period Friday Quinnipiac 1:49 mark 1st period Saturday Quinnipiac 18:37 mark 2nd period Friday Minnesota 18:36 mark 3rd period same same :48 mark 2nd period Saturday Minnesota 19:26 mark 2nd period same game :24 mark 3rd period Saturday Arizona State 19:04 mark 2nd period Friday Omaha 18:23 mark 2nd period Saturday Denver 18:03 mark 3rd period same game 18:15 mark 2nd period Friday Miami 1:39 mark 2nd period Friday St Cloud 18:13 mark 2nd period same game 18:12 mark 2nd period Saturday St Cloud :55 mark 3rd period same game 19:59 mark 1st period tonight WMU That’s SIXTEEN goals against so far this season within the first 2:00 or last 2:00 of a period. And I didn’t include the Saturday St Cloud tally at the 2:04 mark of the 2nd period of the Saturday game because it was 4 seconds outside of my mark, but it also came just 23 seconds after a North Dakota goal. Gee, you think coaches might talk to the kids about this happening a bit too frequently for their liking, but maybe that’s just me…
  11. It’s become a bad habit with this team - fall asleep in under 2:00 to start a period and take a nap again with 2:00 left in the period. Someone really should research how many times that’s happened in the last decade with this team.
  12. If Mercyhurst beats Army by a margin of 3 goals or more tonight and Alaska “wins” over Alaska-Anchorage in a shootout on Saturday, the numbers say that UND will be your new #1 on Sunday morning - but that’s assuming UND is wearing the black NODAK jerseys for BOTH games this weekend. If they wear green once or twice, North Dakota falls to #37.
  13. Friday 4-3 Western Saturday 6-3 Weatern Schloss tweets that UND should be 15-4 after outshooting WMU both nights. Ciskie immediately retweets. UND announces new “Gunmetal Grey” NODAK jerseys to be released for sale on 1-1-23.
  14. Are we talking wins during that stretch of opponent goals-in-a-row?
  15. You’re already far more intelligent than me, trust me.
  16. Well, shoot. And here I was gonna suggest “Style Points” for shootouts if a player scores with a really SICK move.
  17. Hi, you must be new here. My posts are usually full of sarcasm - and that particular cup was DEFINITELY runneth over. There is no SOG “bonus boost” for the Pairwise Rankings.
  18. I was told that outshooting opponents gives you a “bonus boost” in the Pairwise Rankings…can anyone collaborate that for me?
  19. 3rd game in a row that UND, er, NODAK, gives up 6 straight goals at some point? You’ll have to forgive my extra snarkiness today. It’s cold outside.
  20. 2017-2018: #3 UND at home against Union College: 4-1 loss, 2-2 tie. I was also forgetting last season’s home sweep at the hands of Cornell. The Penn State loss was bad but equally concerning was that Cornell series. I was incorrect though, UND did make the tournament last year, despite those 3 non-conference losses.
  21. Well I’m 52 years old, so there’s that…I’ll backtrack thru the schedule as I obviously have the opponent and year wrong.
  22. If memory serves me right, the Penn State loss also kept them out of the NCAA’s. And last years one-and-done 1 goal effort against Notre Dame was less than inspiring.
  23. There have been some pretty early-season letdowns that have cost this season come tournament selection time, cough, cough, Canisius College being one from a couple of seasons ago. Berry’s teams are often unexpectedly caught with their pants down - and that needs to get fixed. I don’t care if it’s October or March, every opponent UND plays brings it’s A game. It’s time UND responded with better than D effort.
  24. Right? Before UND nominated Gino Gasparini for sainthood in the last 10-15 years…there was a time when he was run out of town following the 1994 season. That’s 7 years after winning his 3rd national championship and probably 2 years later than it should have happened given the rapid downturn in the program.
