That’s what I thought. Last night’s two in one game…chef’s kiss, Brad, chef’s kiss.

I'm just a dumb message board guy, but I’ve been beating this drum for what, 4-5 seasons now… Can you honestly tell me that no one on this well-paid coaching staff notices the epidemic of goals allowed by North Dakota teams less than 2:00 into a period or with less than 2:00 left in a period?

I’m old enough to remember people thinking this was OK as long as we won a title once a decade… Spoiler alert: it’s not.

Cue Omaha rolling UND.

Anyone want to give away their Frozen Faceoff tickets?

Geez, I missed the one scored at the 19:25 minute mark of the 1st too. Good heavens, if we’re gonna stop about playing a full 60, can you mean it?

Late to the party while I enjoy the Spuds rolling Stillwater…was that a goal scored by the opponent with 20 seconds left in the second period that I saw? Nice.

Yea, we really showed NCAA powerhouse American International College, didn’t we?

That was it! I remember hearing that on TV now and thinking, “tell me you’ve never seen a hockey game without telling me you’ve never seen a hockey game.”

I’ll eat some crow on this post and give the team credit for a weekend sweep, but yikes, UMD looks like a bad, bad hockey team at times.

That doesn’t help UND at all. Oof.

Does anyone remember the origin of that little inside joke? I have forgotten it but damn, just about spit my pop out at the first reference to it last night.

Traditional Circle of Sticks!

Totally headed for a shootout. Just wait and see.

Whoa whoa whoa…UND scores less than 2:00 into a period AND with less than 2:00 left in the same period? Be still my beating heart!

Trump should have ordered the invasion 10 minutes after McDavid’s goal went in the net. Troops would be entering Ottawa right about now…

Leave those poor small town kids alone!

The team has given fans hope for optimism after a surprising Saturday win at Denver. Cue the kick to the johnson this weekend with a stunning home split.

But I was told that it’s the deepest conference in the history of conferences and that there’s so much parity…

Shoot, we didn’t even win our league title this season. 5-1-1 on Friday nights including a 1-0 loss to the team that went 7-0 and beat us for the first time since 2021. Very disappointing. Didn’t play a full 60, some players just along for the ride. We have a culture to uphold at Red Army. At the end of the day…

Lots of Pairwise “what if’s” in the chat box today…we all know that UND’s ONLY chance at the NCAA’s lies in St Paul next month.

Home split vs Colorado College…what time is the ticker-tape parade down University Avenue in Grand Forks today?

Maybe we should be raising the black banner? Next season opener?

Exactly. Another 0-1 Frozen Faceoff followed by an 0-1 or 1-1 NCAA tournament performance. Outside of 2016’s semi-final win over DU, Berry’s teams pucker up tighter than a snare drum when it’s crunch time.

My bold prediction for tonight: CC goes Karate Kid and sweeps the leg.
