Coach’s Decision. Easy answer.

Point still remains. UND has had far less talented teams do just fine. This is an overreaction to a loss to a team we all expected UND would beat.

Denver’s best player last year was an offensive minded defenseman who won the Hobey.

Did you not see the Frank Serratore video?

The ones who reffed Denver-AF last weekend.

So his other two didn’t count?

I love how the DU fans on Facebook complained about UND fans complaining about uneven officiating at Magness when it’s not just us that have experienced the home cooking...

I got in an argument with someone saying UND isn’t a hockey school because we don’t have women’s hockey. Apparently... BROWN is a hockey school. But to your point... Im not sure what these non-UND hockey fans expect us, or our men’s hockey team to do about it. Complain for the foreseeable future?

As a female, I completely agree. I don’t doubt there are issues at ESPN, but the Buccigross complaint is a joke.

I think some people are missing the point of this conversation. It was never about what’s happening right now. Part of the discussion was about what defines a “powerhouse” program. This wasn’t ever meant to be a knock on SCSU - they have a good program down there, and their fans have a lot to be excited about. They don’t have the tradition and history of some other programs, but have gotta start somewhere...

Geez. All I did was call SCSU an up-and-coming program and the claws came out... *shrugs*

Exactly. Maybe others have different views of what defines a “college hockey power” but I don’t put SCSU in the same category as others I’d call a powerhouse program.

I would categorize SCSU as more of an “up-and-comer” than a “power.” I think even their fans know that. And when going head-to-head for a recruit in our backyard, the cards are stacked against them.

Exactly. When he was here we really didn’t have much offensive talent. Pretty sure he played on a line with Pattyn of all people. If only he would’ve been here at the same time as Nick Schmaltz...

He committed in April. Backed out last month because he wanted to be close to home. Then UND got in the picture along with a bunch of other schools. Probably committed too soon before he realized there were more options for him. See it a lot these days.

If he visited any other schools, it wasn’t made public knowledge.

I don’t even know what line is UND’s top line to be honest...

Dakota twice is what was done in my day... (06-09 for reference)

I know nothing about any other goals scored with that time remaining ...

When Poganski scored a shorty against DU with .6 left in the period a couple years ago?

To be fair- Half of those PP goals we gave up were in one weekend (Denver).

It’s a college broadcast. Clearly she graduated....

Look, we don’t recruit power play guys. We recruit 2-way players. Look at our roster. How many of those guys do you think are specifically built for the PP type guys? Kawaguchi? Adams? This team is built for even strength. St Cloud recruits to their Olympic sheet. They recruit power play guys. That’s why they always have a good power play.

How much energy could we possibly have tonight with all the guys playing PK? Radio was saying Mismash and Adams (as examples)? hardly played 2nd period because of all the penalties.

The other guy is so much worse.
