  1. if you have two of the best women players on the planet on your team and just manage to "sneak" into the playoffs that can't be a good sign for what lies ahead for this program.

    I'm not sure this is 100 percent a fair statement. UND played two more games than some of the teams in the tournament and four more than others in the tournament right now.

    Are there games UND should have won? I bet they would say "Absolutely." But I think that the idea that they were barely sneaking in when they played in the WCHA and had nine losses (4 to Minnesota and 3 to Wisconsin) speaks volumes. I would put this year's women's team against any of the other teams in other conferences.

    Will there be a drop off next year? Absolutely, but there are talented players and due, in some part, to the Lamoureux sisters they have been able to recruit top talent that wouldn't have looked UND's way five years ago. Bringing in Peter was a great move because he's been able to recruit internationally as well. Having a Monique and Jocelyne Lamoureux on any team, let alone UND's, are few and far between.

  2. The women's post-game press conference was sad. Lots of emotion from Idalski, Karvinen and MoLam. Monique said that she doesn't think that some people understood when they transferred how much being a part of the Sioux tradition meant to them.

    I sure hope they get one more game even if that means going back to Ridder.

  3. I've watched this entire game and all I see is quality hockey out of Bemidji State. Those folks on here screaming about how embarrassing the Sioux playing to a tie against the Beavers was really have me puzzled.

    Pretty much everything you said.

  4. As a rundown: Minnesota has been undefeated since February 7th of last year, the WCHA Final Face Off is at Ridder, the Frozen Four is at Ridder and all three Patty Kaz finalists are from Minnesota.

    At the risk of sounding a little bitter, I don't know why any other women's team even bothered playing this season. :lol:

  5. In the Wisconsin presser (I follow their women's hockey twitter), they believe that even if they lose to UND they will get into the tournament. Right now they're tied with UND in the Pairwise. UND is viewing it as a must win otherwise they will not make the tourny.

  6. Thoughts:

    ~Wide open nets.....ufff.

    ~Goaltending for UND......uffffff.

    ~Bad penalties.....ufff.

    Can't hate on the effort. Denver can't get gift goals, and UND can't miss blatantly wide open nets.

    Can I add:

    ~Power play.....ufff. Sure they scored one, but there was a lot of ugly.

    Two points tomorrow.
