Summit league = street cred ?

I agree that they can’t win with Mannion as the QB. Fortunately he isn’t on the team, the backup is Nick Mullins. He’s not the long term answer but I do believe he is better than Mannion.

I don’t think the Wild liked the start time either, played like it was past their bedtime.

The Wild are toast, don’t see much chance for them to win the series. Not a fan of Dean Evason, I think he made a major blunder by switching goalies for game 2. I don’t care what they did in the regular season rotating goalies, when your goalie plays as well as Gustavsson did in game 1 there is no way in hell you change goalies for game 2. Just a really, really stupid move.

Hope Toews plays at least one more season. Sign with Washington and reunite with Oshie would be fun to see.

No thanks, not a big fan of the Summit brand. I get why they might do it but I’d prefer to keep the NCHC.

I guess he can hope they win it in 2028, would then be easy to fix.

Stat update: Goofs are now 22-1 when leading after 2.

Don’t feel bad at all for the goofs but I do feel a bit bad for Motzko. I think he is a good coach and a good guy.

And these are the “best” from the NCHC.

On these types of reviews it should be a coaches challenge. If they fail to upgrade to a 5 then it is a 2 minute delay of game.

No other choice in this game.

Best wishes to Minnesota for a safe trip home after todays game.

Looks like the plan for next season is to play six forwards. Lot of high scoring games.

Based on watching the defense this past season I can’t get too concerned about any of them going to the portal. The defense for the most part was brutal. The big question for me is the problem talent or coaching? Or both? What is concerning to me is that the coaches either have a recruiting problem or cannot develop the recruits. This next season will be very interesting.

Big10 first round 36 goals, second round 8.

That would suck…

And game. And a 2 year prison sentence.

Q deserves to lose this game. Only 3 shots on goal in the past 30 minutes.

Not too sure about Omaha and CC. Their improvement may be more a function of the regression of UND and Duluth. Not what we’ve come to expect from the league. A minor blip or a major long term reordering of the conference’s? The next few years will be interesting.

Went from runner ups last year and pre-season #1 this year to missing the tournament. Had most of their starters from last season back I believe.

Half the time he shines in the regular season and half the time he sh1ts the bed.

Won or shared four titles, finished 4th or lower four times. In the past six years they won or shared the NCHC title three times but also missed the NC$$ tourney three times. Very mixed bag of results. Conference titles are nice (and you could argue it is a better representation of the season than a single game elimination tournament) but it doesn’t mean much when they are quickly eliminated in the NC$$ tourney. The fact that 50% of the past six years we didn’t even qualify for a shot, along with quick elimination when they have qualified makes it hard to support Berry. We may have been spoiled under Hakstol when they made 7 frozen fours in 11 seasons. Even though they didn’t get the big prize there was a lot of exciting games (seven regional championships). Give me the Hakstol era over the Berry era, at least to this point.

Unfortunately a very fitting end to a massively disappointing season.

UND is the 7:30 game.
