Tough to win when you are starting your 2nd best goalie all weekend.

There is no one else...hence the problem.
Bingo. It's not a slam on the players, UND is full of hard working solid to good players. There just might not be any really good to great players this year. 4 of 5 games now (against mediocre teams) where scoring is a real issue. Starting to look like a trend.

This team doesn't have any finishers.

He deserved a better outcome IMO. He came in as a walk on.....put in the work to get into the lineup.....produced pretty well in limited opportunities. However, he's not the first and won't be the last walk on that gets shafted while highly recruited busts like the Wade Murphy's of the world get chance after chance. That's life.

The intent to deliver is absolutely the embarrassing part. These aren't 2 young college kids caught with a little bit of dope in the console during a traffic stop. This was a full blown raid that caused local Lewis and Clark school to be placed on lockdown for a period of time. Maybe some overkill on the police presence (which was significant), but still very embarrassing off field news for a team that has been embarrassing on field. Will be interesting if Bubba puts his foot down.

Seems the drug stuff started popping up at the end of Mussman's time too. If your team is full of knuckleheads the team better at least be good. A team full of knuckleheads that isn't very good is rock bottom. Hopefully Bubba gets this runaway train back on the tracks.

Shhh...don't want the thread to get shut down again.

I doubt it was a joke. Just more evidence that Boesser was a cancer in the locker room this season and just like the team was better with him last year, they would have been better without him this year. More talk about the wrist injury.....that magically was just fine once he got to the NHL. He was a top flight talent that was demoted down lines because anyone that watched this year saw him lose almost every race to loose pucks and lose almost every battle in the corners. It's just too bad he didn't leave on a high note after his 1st season if his heart wasn't gonna be in it this season.

They get high draft picks to sign early by having them play in end of year games, thus burning a year on their entry level contract.
Teams still aren't gonna risk a high draft picks health. Just pointing out that maybe a nagging injury wasn't to blame for this season.
-
Safe to say that injury might not have been the issue for the below par year. NHL teams don't risk 1st round draft picks with injuries in meaningless end of year games.

Brock is a great talent, and played a huge role on last year's team. That being said, it was definitely time for him to go. He clearly wasn't as motivated this year as last year so perhaps he needs a new challenge. Jost, Poolman, and Boesser will all get a chance in the NHL. Jost and Poolman will stay there.
-
Realize that injuries dictate some of the change, but it sure has the feel of Hak getting too cute with the lines at the wrong time of year. Load up the top 2 lines, have the Gaarder O'Donnel Pog line as a rock solid 3rd line, and have a 4th line that plays rarely if at all. There are 4 games left....not 4 months...time to ride the clydesdales.

I bet "they" would.

Frankly I don't think UND should want anything to do with the Gophers at this point given how hot they have been. Would like to see UND get two games in to get their mojo back before facing them.

Maybe you and your oil buddies can come up with a better game plan while sitting at sniffer's row at Augie's?
Kind of tough to rate the Sioux performance this week since on the surface it looks like they had nothing to play for. However, they played their way out of a matchup with #16 seed, which is the only automatic win in the tourney. As for game planning (especially with the Murphy move) I kinda wonder if Hak didn't already make a game plan at Auggies
-
That fact that Hak played Murphy today is a total head scratcher.
Agreed. If you are gonna do a forward move it should have been putting Panzarella in. If either Can Johnson or Wade Murphy skates a regular shift next weekend the Sioux have no chance.

Says who? You? If you are going to say things like that, you need to out your sources. Otherwise, it's nonsense.
Exactly.
Only nonsense if he's wrong.

Wow....another day in FL warmer than in Fargo.
Who could have predicted that?
And it didn't take you 10 years to kinda get it half right :-)

Stop spinning, it's one of the last four. We have entered a new era. They used to win state hockey about 70 to 80% of the time, from now on they're only going to win about 30 to 40% of the time (which is still very good, by the way, but the rest of the state has been narrowing the gap for quite some time now).
Your little trend (conveniently cut off at the four year mark) is only 2-single goal title games away from being 6 out of the last 7 years for Grand Forks champions. Coulda shoulda woulda.

How can that be? The population of the city has grown considerably.
Grand Forks has grown in terms of spreading out and adding businesses, but the overall population hasn't risen much. My personal observation is that it seems the people that are added are UND students (who primarily don't have school aged kids) or people in their 40's and 50's (whose kids have cleared out). I'm too lazy to look up exact numbers but I know the GF Public School student population had declined/been pretty stagnant since the flood. However I think the last couple years has seen an uptick.

A bunch of solid, but not great, players, that will all stay 3-4 years = mediocrity for a couple years.
