Yanking a goalie after two goals is quick...and one wasn’t even close to his fault. That IS a short leash.
And which one wasn't his fault? The one he misplayed behind the net or the sharp angle shot that went high glove side?

In a vacuum only looking at one game? You are correct. Taking into account his play since Xmas? No.....it was actually a slow hook.

Another game blown because Berry was slow to make the badly needed goalie move. Offensively challenged team once again played good enough to win but goaltending let them down. Cam 1-3-3 in last 7 games. Gotta go Thome here on out.

So same can be said for thome for that goal too?
Lol.......been watching 2 seasons of mediocre goaltending from Cam..... Thome lets in a goal while triple screened........ it's still a massive upgrade.

Even the Cam apologists are having trouble now......

Hopefully in time to see the season.

About time.
-
Some coaches ride the hot goalie to the top......Berry rides the mediocre one into the gutter.

Strip out Cam's stats the year he had 3 NHL defensemen in front of him.....and he's performing at a normal clip....which makes him a decent goalie. For those criticizing Thome's play at Denver, remember, if Cam was judged by the 1st couple games he ever played he wouldn't even be on the team....and he wasn't thrown into the fire like Thome was. Should be a rotation.

It's so annoying. Cam gives up 1 goal in regulation and this tie is pinned on him. It's unreal.
His team played really well in front of him and Denver had very few grade A chances....and the one he let in was ridiculous. Cam's a decent/average goalie, that's it. Not the type of goalie that deserves to start every game no questions asked. People keep bringing up Thomes performance at Denver......well as a Freshman he came in cold at Wisconsin and played well. Then later at Denver he would have had a sweep if his team hadn't been on the penalty kill basically the entire 2nd game. Meanwhile Cam let's in a softie each night AT HOME against the same Denver team that cost a win both nights. Yeah, it's time to at least start alternating goalies at this point.

The goal that bugged me the most was the third goal. Straight up in the slot, no screen, right by the glove....not a good look
1st, 3rd, and Final goal were all good shots. Not routine saves by any means, but a good goalie needs to save a couple of those......especially taking into account that he wasn't exactly facing a 40 shot onslaught last night. There are probably a hundred former goalies on the UND campus that can stop the easy routine ones. The starting goaltender for UND should be able to stop some of the tough ones, or at least be able to stop shots above his waist.

Having watched the past 2 weekends UND is is nowhere near the skill level of either UMD or DU. UND better hope they don't get UMD first round of playoffs.
As strange as it sounds, best case for this team is to hold on to 5th and hope Western Michigan falls to 4th so they can avoid a 1st round road trip to Duluth.
-
An average goalie night not be expected to stop those shots. A senior goaltender who is supposedly so good should stop those. Once again, things have been alot different for him when Ladue, Stecher, and Tucker Poolman aren't in front of him. The team last night scrapped enough (and actually had the puck luck for once) where Cam needed to step up and make those saves. Thome time.

You're about two years late with that one. But, so be it...
Kind of like how late the coaching staff is making the needed change in goal.
-
The Air Force just lost the trademark to their slogan "Aim High". It has now been adopted by whatever team is playing against Cam Johnson.
-
Softer market in part because softer team. However, maybe UND finally found the tipping point for what the market will bear (Donation level, ticket cost, concession prices....etc)

Did you forget how well Cam played his Sophomore year?
Do I think they'll get swept if Cam is playing, no, but I am in the corner that there isn't a big difference between Cam / Thome. If both are healthy, I'd like to see them split time and whoever plays better takes over. If that's Thome, then he should be the one in net.
Let's be honest about Cam's sophomore year, he was the equivalent of a game manager QB in football. He had what might have been the best group of defensemen ever in program history playing in front of him....and they were only needed when Schmaltz, Boesser, and Caggiula weren't controlling play in the other end. Cam just had to be average and not screw anything up.
I do agree that while I think Thome is a much better goalie, that splitting games is most realistic at this time.
-
If Cam plays both games UND gets swept. Need to put Thome in and have him get hot.

Depends if Thome is done with that injury thing...
Thome should be playing the second he is healthy.

No, because Ryan Duncan isn't a prototype body like Pogo is, which most power forwards are and yes, what pogo is.
I'm just all done with everyone whining with what everyone isn't.
Trevor Olson has a prototype power forward body too. He has 2 goals this year.....so extrapolating that do you come up with that equating to 10-15 goals in the NHL?

Denver-split
CC-sweep
Omaha-win, tie
Miami-split
SCSU-split
That is probably the best case scenario. Unfortunately, since the young studs in Duluth finally got their feet under them it seems likely that UND will be lucky to even hold on to home ice.

So, that would equate to about 28 goals in an 82 game NHL season. That's pretty much elite NHL PF. Pogo has been very good in the second half.
I really hope you were kidding about that comparison. Using your logic Ryan Duncan should be able to score about 90 goals a season in the NHL. Pogo is a very solid college player but on most past UND teams he would be a 2nd line scorer, not the guy on the top line that everyone is counting on to score.

How could you possibly say that? No one knows what could have happened. That was his team. I am worried about the recruiting classes coming in next year and the year after. Further out we have some nice prospects though. We need to start winning some of these recruiting battles for high end kids.
Toews Oshie and the Hobey winner were his team too and he couldn't win. Hakstol couldn't win the big one and 2016 wouldn't have been any different.
Berry is a good coach but this team is just down on talent. You have one proven scorer at the college level (Gersich) and none of the young forwards have surprised on the upside. Colton Poolman is an excellent D-man but the rest are a solid, but unspectacular group. The starting goalie is an average starting goalie unless he has a D-corps in front of him loaded with NHL caliber players to make him look good. When is the last time Cam stole a game for UND?

Cam wasn't laboring when he made the perfect stick to stick pass to the Duluth guy at tail end of 2nd period that should have been another Duluth goal. Seeing it live there's no way that live chat or even TV could have done that justice on how bad it was.

If goals from those bad angles "weren't the goalies fault".....every college hockey game would have 15 goals scored in it.
